Peoplehole covers??

Here's a link to new laws in the state:

 

Good Grief...!

 

Some really weird stuff here ~ including elimination of bail (It's free!) to requiring pet stores to only sell puppies, bunnies, and kittens from shelters.  Oh... and just to cement the "progressive" nature of Berkeley, natural gas is now banned in all new construction.  Owners will be required to use only electricity ~ which, as we all know, the state has an overabundance of and which is cheap, too.  NOT!  silly.gif

After nearly 25 years in the building maintenance field, I just found out the other day why manhole covers are round and not square.   I never thought about it until I was told.  Anybody else know why?

They will need a natural gas supply to run the the 20kW genset required to cook when PG&E shuts the power off due to high winds.  Oh this is Berzerkley if they figure out that a lot of residents are installing noisy hazardous air polutant & GHG emitting natural gas fueled standby gensets they'll ban them.  Those who can afford rooftop PV will have to add a couple of Tesla Powerwalls.

Yup. The round ones won't fall in.

You think you will.

 

Do you refer to homosexuals as "gay" and heterosexuals as "straight"? Just about everyone does. The terms are idiotic, but people started using them, and the more you hear someone say it, the more likely you are to say it.

 

Do you call a neckerchief a "wild rag"? A chinstrap a "stampede string"?

 

Same thing. Someone started using the term, others started saying it, and now many (if not most) of the people playing cowboy use these terms.

Generally, when someone yells, "quit trying to claim my culture!", I have an almost overwhelming urge to shoot them a bird, and tell them to attempt to physiologically impossible act of self impregnation.

 

But that guy - somebody needs to beat the crap out of him.

Maybe they can start calling them, front hole covers.
