    Also the standard that property damage (of non-vital property) and possible character defamation are evil, but so many things done by “their team” are not blows my mind.

      What’s irritating is I genuinely believe most of the ones making the posts know exactly how full of shit they are. They make this crap up because Grandma and cousin GenZ Chudley will eat it up without even thinking to fact check anything. They know they are only taking advantage of stupid people for fame and money. If I had no morals, I’d do the same. Sell these fucking idiots shirts about how fluoride makes you gay and vaccines make you gay and autistic, and I could probably make a fuck ton of money.

        The problem is their lies incur debts to the truth, and that debt need be paid.

        The bullshit part is that we all pay for this debt, and not just the people who are racking it up.

        Did they treat the lawn and it wash in with the rain? Also, the paint on the bottom warm the pool, and the algae loved it.

    They don’t even stop and think about how utterly fucking ridiculous these accusations are. I bet you dollars to donuts that near the DC monuments there are cameras everywhere. Where’s the footage of these evil Dems dumping buckets of algae in the pool? Any (reliable) eyewitness reports? Any scientists taking samples and maybe seeing if the algae was recently disturbed/transplanted?

    I mean, I get it, their feelings mean more to them than facts and evidence, but c’mon, man. This is a 4th grade level critical thinking exercise.

        You know more about water chemistry than most of my coworkers at my power plant. I get so tired of telling them to watch the tower pH and make sure the acid is running in auto so the hypo will actually fucking do something. It’s a miracle that our condenser performance isn’t trashed by fouling. I’ve caught tower pH at fucking 9 before when it’s supposed to be 7.0-7.5, and I’m trying to push for 6.8-7.2.

          Better than when cooling water is supplied with an expensive reverse osmosis unit which then proceeds to corrode the entire carbon steel cooling water system due to pH of 5.5 since everyone is convinced water so pure can’t do any damage.

        let the Ph level rise and alkalinity get low

        Did you mean to word it this way? Rising pH means increasing alkalinity. If the alkalinity is getting lower, then the pH is dropping.

      Buckets of algae wouldn’t get it. People would be dumping multiple 50# bags of fertilizer in there. Still every bit as absurd.

        There is a much easier way to make algae grow in a shallow slow flowing body of water, just paint the bottom a dark color, that way the water stays warm, most algae love warm water. So all you need to do is get a company to come drain it and paint it a dark color, and Bob’s your uncle. It has the added effect of the water staying at the ideal temp for algae growth for a longer percentage of the year, just got to find someone stupid enough to sign off on the plan.

    It’s amazing since all I kept hearing for the past month as this was being done was that this does nothing to fix the underlying issues and that its just going to be the same as it was within weeks due to the heat and low water level. If anything it would be worse due to the dark paint used to absord more heat. Now were here and exactly what was predicted happened and people really blaming shit on more crazy lies lol. These people are beyond nuts.

      exactly what was predicted happened

      In the MAGA mindset, that just makes it all the more suspicious. Curious, you seemed to know exactly what would happen and conveniently it happened the way you said… You must have done something to make it happen.

      Sounds like the average large project with multiple project managers.

      “I want this done before the deadline and under budget”

      “But , we dont have the budget for engineering or research and that deadline isnt enough time to do the work properly”

      “I dont care. Do it”

      *project gets done, very shoddy work, has tons of issues in the future that could have been avoided with proper engineering *

      Cue the most idiotic person (manager) getting a raise because of their "hard work and being viewed as a “visionary” when in reality theyre a dumbfuck with a big mouth. The American way.

        Heh, was just on a call after a big failure of a project, one where 75% of the people on the call had told the project manager exactly what was going to go wrong if they kept going the way it was going and needed to change in a way inconvenient to the project managers world view. Folks repeatedly and loudly got dismissed by the project manager.

        Now as they are discussing what went wrong when exactly the thing everyone said would go wrong did, the project manager said “no one could have predicted it going this way”.

        The real kicker was the right way to do it wouldn’t have cost any time or money, it just was a somewhat different than the project manager’s imagination (who did not have any actual experience doing the work, but still thought he knew better than the seasoned profesionals because of what he had been reading).
