Darn, we missed a bet. We had a century-old sewer in the backyard (going to other peoples’ houses) replaced, but we didn’t think to examine the contents.

Sounds like you got a wet floor eh? Bummer.
Our 100+ year-old house still has its original cast iron drainpipe. We had it scoped when we bought the house and everything still looked clear and intact

This is from the still-standing dam that supplies our town water.

The hull was supposedly made of neutronium. Maybe it couldn’t be machined or otherwise made uniform, so in that respect the irregular hull went well with the plot. It certainly looked cool and very alien.

No disrespect to Rosendale, but there were nearer sources even then. As it happens, this whole region is sitting on enormous fields of volcanic ash, and that’s the key ingredient in the old Roman concrete that has lasted for thousands of years even in seawater.

Now, take the example that pipe represents and consider the state of most of the nation’s water (fresh/waste) infrastructure. How many locales have water infrastructure that was buried 50 years ago? 75 years ago? 100 years ago?
On reason to never buy a suburban home is that they are sitting on infrastructure they’ll never fix (until there’s an emergency) because they’ll never raise the needed taxes or HOA fees to update the plumbing.

Its appearance certainly made it look like it meant business. Also, it was surmised that the machine had been destroying planets over a very long period of time. The rough exterior would be a result of collisions with debris from the planets it had destroyed, and by asteroid debris.

In entertainment news, today.
Now from the top, make it drop, bounce that big ol’ booty,’ because that’s the only thing that rhymed. It was really hard for me to clean this song up because nobody could convince me to keep ‘gushy’ because I hate the word ‘gushy.’” There’s an adjective that would be even worse, though. “Like a cringe-y word to me is ‘moíst,’” she added. “I hate the word ‘moíst.’” Yeah, we veto moíst ass pussy.
