Should be a lot less than that. One or two in a batch of 30, tops. Often they all arrive alive.

It's more like they can't be older than one day. Chicks that young don't need to eat or drink.

Totally common, practically routine. Newly hatched birds don't need to eat or drink for the first few days, so it's relatively easy and safe to send them through the mail. If you are expecting birdlets, tell your post office a few days in advance and ask them to call you so you can pick them up rather than waiting for the mail carrier to bring them.

Having successfully installed an above-ground pool (my own), I can attest that it is not something your average retard can do. So, nyah.

Not to worry. There's a radio-friendly version of the song that replaces that word.

Reagan's HUD just hauled cash out the front door in wheelbarrows, 'cause that was faster and easier than anything else they could come up with.

If HUD employees are keeping the trains running on time, what are they doing at the Department of Transportation?

This administration has assembled a senior team at HUD with a deep well of experience in housing, community development and mortgage finance"...

This seems like an apt metaphor to me. Certainly when I think of this administration's leadership, a bottomless hole in the ground is exactly the sort of image that leaps to mind. A yawning emptiness that occasionally swallows up little children, or emits some noxious odor from the bowels of the earth, perhaps. A passage to a dank, primitive, lightless world inhabited by shambling monstrosities and weakly sentient gibbering fungi. Also the word "shafted" is in there somewhere.

Though I also have to point out the remarkable paradox of a well that is completely empty and useless, yet simultaneously poisoned.
