It seems the City Creek Stream naturally ran from the canyon into parts of Salt Lake City.

City Creek Canyon, located northeast of Salt Lake City, collects water from 19.2 square miles of watershed that feeds the 14.5 mile-long City Creek stream. Since the arrival of the Mormon pioneers in 1847 this water supply has been used by first the settlers, and later the inhabitants of the City. It played a significant role in the valley's early history, as the settlement was based on agriculture through artificial irrigation of the desert soil. City Creek was designated as the pioneer's first source of water providing both irrigation and domestic supplies. Today it remains an important part of the City's water supply providing water by gravity flow to the Avenues, Ensign Downs and downtown areas. PDF source

City Creek is a small but historically important mountain stream that flows from City Creek Canyon and across part of Salt Lake City, Utah, and into the Jordan River which empties into the Great Salt Lake. Source

Same. When that news first hit I switched to non-aluminum brands just to be safe.

It's also stated in this article.

But the agency described Gita as a “rescue dog and best friend of the gentleman in trouble”, and it explicitly credited her for “saving his life that day”.

Dolly Parton doing the work that Mike Johnson refuses to do.

The population of the DRC is 95,894,118 (2021 est.), with 0–14 year old children comprising 46.38% of the population Source

... but Western nations have only sent 265,000 doses for adults only even tho almost all the deaths have occured in children.

We are the assholes here.

Assholes gotta asshole. :/

I grew up in Regina and remember my dad talking about not being able to swim in Wascana Lake because of the goose poo/cattle poo contamination.

Fyi Regina is one of the only major cities in North America not built on a major natural water source.

Wascana lake was created in 1883 by damming Wascana Creek, a low flow seasonal run-off stream, to serve as a reliable water reservoir for the town and railway (the railway used it as a watering hole for the cattle they transported)

The lake continued for a time to be used as a domestic water supply and for stock watering; it also supplied the new legislative building. A longer term effect resulted, however, when lake water was used to cool machinery in the power plant (now the Powerhouse Museum) that was built in the eastern sector. Heated water returned to the lake, causing that sector to remain ice-free through the winter, and several species of migratory birds made it their year-round habitat.

Canada geese are one of those, so Regina has a year-round population as well.

ADHD and autism mean some of us don't see it all the time tho. That's why /s can be a big help.

It's what I had to memorize as a kid so it's embedded in my brain.

... he was accused of grabbing a woman on the street by the hips and holding her

Would he have grabbed a man by the hips and held him? Probably not. Therefore it's sexual assault.

Same as many think we have a 2nd Amendment.

Like, wtf Canada???

The hetero victimhood is strong in this one.

That's why I put a wink after my comment.

Driving is the easiest way.

Shaken baby syndrome has been challenged in courts, and rightfully so.

Over the past two decades, there has been a revolution in the understanding of internal pediatric head conditions, which has shown that numerous naturally occurring illnesses can affect a child in the manner previously attributed to SBS. My own extensive research was key to the evolution of the science and to discrediting SBS.

According to the National Registry of Exonerations, at least 30 people served years or decades in prison after convictions involving the SBS theory before being exonerated. But the law, in many cases, has not kept up with the science.

Scrat!

He didn't used to be tho. When he first ran to be an MP he was articulate, open-minded, and took time to talk to the nation. The first indication he had issues was when he backed down from his promise of electoral reform ... the beginning of the end I guess.

Louisiana has the second highest povery rate in America at 18.6% (Source).

There is data that indicates murder rates rise when poverty and inequality rates rise (Source)

We seem to be heading towards all three at once. :/

... and coaches it seems.
