Water During a Power Failure

I have two friends who insist that they get no water during a blackout. Neither is on a well. I have a third that insists he cannot flush the toilet during a blackout

Barring the possibility of a mystery pumpl or an electric toilet is there any chance that they are correct?

Hey everyone!

I'm heading to Texas soon and I'd love to bring some delicious desserts. Can anyone recommend some must-try dessert places there? I'm open to anything sweet and unique. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

What are FCPS “planning blocks” in relation to boundary changes?

Hey, everyone! Seeking some context/clarification.

I am looking through several archived school board meetings for 1982 that discuss possible changes to school district boundaries and it discussed “planning block areas” with numbers like 130/131/132/133/200 for the areas.

I can’t find a map or record online or anywhere that would show where these areas actually are.

Does anyone have any insight? TIA!

Just moved. Where can I make fiends

Hi everyone! I moved here recently from Europe and I was wondering where a person in her 20s can make friends here/hang out... I've been struggling a bit since I don't attend any uni here. I went to a library to study and I'm trying to talk to random people that seemed of my age with random excuses, eveyone is friendly but nobody seems too interested in actually keep contact in the end. Any advice?

Edit: friends* in the title

Anyone know what's going on a little east of Gallows and Arlington blvd?

I'm not sure I have the location quite right. It could be farther east of there than I think. There has been an endless stream of police racing east down Arlington blvd, and there have been helicopters circling overhead, which is why I think whatever is happening can't be too far from there.

(It's now been over an hour with police going by, first in a relentless stream and now sporadically.)

Anyway, given that it's Election Day, stress is high, and we're not all that far from DC, I'm hoping that nothing awful is happening.

Cooper MS student/parent experience

Moving to Great Falls next summer. Can anyone tell me what to expect for my rising 6th grader at Cooper Middle School? What's the culture like there? What are the teachers/administrators like?
