Stop calling everyone a "skeptic" and call them what they are: deniers. Anti-science, fact resistant deniers. Calling people germ-theory skeptics, or climate skeptics, or vaccine skeptics, and so on and so on, makes it sound like there's an honest scientific debate going on

The germaphobia in me is trying to figure out this thought process...

Exactly. Skepticism is about casting doubt on beliefs and dogmas, not outright rejecting facts. When it comes to germs and vaccines there's scientific consensus on those matters. They're as close to facts as you can get. But rejecting those you're not a skeptic, you're a denier. There's no scientific debate on those topics, only a political debate on whether to reject science or not.

I'm sorry but "Germ-theory sceptic" is damaging enough considering the last one should have died in the 1800's.

numerous century-old municipal sewer lines that run under the park. These lines have cracked over time and leak sewage
This is easy to fix.
Shame the article doesn't say how much the municipality is being fined every day they continue to leak raw sewage into the watershed.

I forget a two letter word and you think I have a stroke?

Usually the people in charge of regimes like this are often sadistic hypocrites and absolutely know that what they spout is bullshit. RFK jr. here on the other hand, is apparently actually a fucking idiot.

I never refuted that?

š§RFK Jr doesn't have a "thought process."

'idiots' is my preferred term. I'm in favor of calling stupid people out again. Too long has stupidity been condoned and even championed 'He tells it like it is'.
They are morons and need to be called that unabashedly.

iām adding, not disagreeingā¦ guess i shouldāve said, āyeah comrade, well put, scientists are the real skeptics
ā
but, for the record, i agree with your preceding comment.
i apologize for lack of clarity

I honest to God can't believe how such fucking morons managed to get power. RFK jr. Would have been seen as a bigger crackpot than Alex Jones if he wasn't RFK's son.

I have typos like that all the time. So it's fine.

ROFL What is this worm driven host doing?! Doesn't the worm know that E. Coli infections can be deadly for the elderly? (Yes, I am being super facetious because reading about a Germ Theory Skeptic in the modern age has effectively broken my brain. The evidence that proves microorganisms like bacteria, parasites, and viruses are real is truly a massive amount. That's a lot of knowledge that this dumb, incompetent human being is simply ignoring). Ugh, this wasn't on my bingo card for this month. A small part of me hopes that E. Coli proves to him that germ theory isn't something that can be dismissed, and he dies from his foolishness.
He isn't even a miasma theory guy. He believes in terrain theory. The theory that disease only happens due to the body being malnutrished in some way or had a defect first. That germs and diseases are just opportunists more than anything else.
None of this is true. He had rhe audacity to claim that the two girls in Texas who died from measles were malnourished and that is the main reason why measles happened and killed them. No amount of evidence presented by doctors to him that they were well nourished and were quite healthy before measles hit them was going to persuade him.

There are these linings that are deployed into old pipes, which would be otherwise costly to replace.
I wonder if there's a legitimate reason this technique couldn't be used here.
It is possible those only work for smaller diameter pipes.
