The Thames has never been considered clean. But there’s really no excuse for it to be a flowing cesspool in this day and age. Not with the technology for water management available.

This is my theory (based on absolutely nothing LOL):
No back up: 50% chance of loss of data
One on site back up: 10% chance of loss of data
Two back up (one on site and one off site): 1% chance of loss of data

Hopefully she is not saying something that is as dumb as it sounds. Maybe she is talking about stores that are selling drugs, etc and something happens due to that.
No. I thought the same. It is exactly what she stated.

It's a strong tradition in many areas of South Louisiana.
And it can be very competitive... Guinea eggs boiled point down in coffee grounds are very good ...
Also around here, we have quite a few families of Czech descent...They paint eggs.
