What drugs are they giving Biden that these dogs keep getting into? Hunter would not be so careless with his stash.

Knowing GSDs, they’re especially protective when they feel their owners are especially vulnerable. In this case, I think that even the dog knows his owner’s just this side of a legume.

All this shows is that Israel is not immune to the same stupidities the governments of the rest of the world demonstrate.

Around 60% of Mexico City’s water comes from its underground aquifer, but this has been so over-extracted that the city is sinking at a frightening rate — around 20 inches a year, according to recent research. And the aquifer is not being replenished anywhere near fast enough. The rainwater rolls off the city’s hard, impermeable surfaces, rather than sinking into the ground.
I think the second sentence is inherent in the first.
And the third sentence begs the question of where the water is going. Is it flowing out to sea? Is it pooling up and then evaporating?

“The test has reaffirmed the effectiveness of the UK’s nuclear deterrent, in which we have absolute confidence. During the test an anomaly occurred,” he [British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps] added.
An anomaly? What? Some crew member got referred to by the wrong pronoun? Classic demonstration of that famous quote – “It is better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt”

I asked a similar question to a group of Engineers a few years ago that were expressing concerns about water. It stumped everyone.
My guess that a huge population acts as a giant storage tank. 22 million people in Mexico City each holding 20 gallons of water in their body is a pretty significant reservoir. Then assume 60 million gallons per day of consumption. It is either evaporated, exhaled or excreted.
In some large costal cities waste is pumped into the ocean. In some it is treated and pumped into a river. Others, like Phoenix, the water is treated and used to irrigate crops.
Therefore, I presume, a big chunk, ends up in the ocean and in the atmosphere. At first I was skeptical of the city actually having a huge impact of the recharge rate, but I just read that the city was built on the location of a lake that was drained. I think lakes are a huge part of recharging aquifers.
