    “Second year in a row when fasting during HOLY MONTH that we will be climbing this mountain! This is slow poisoning!”

    Blackburn is 30% Muslim and, just based on what I have seen of the people in this building, a lot more than 30% of them are Muslim. I don’t normally give a shit about religion in general, but these people feel like it’s their duty to fast and this really is something that could be done to help them. Especially since I see parents carrying prams up the stairs.

        My first read, I thought that was the source of the mentioned poisoning.

      Thanks for the transcript.

      In Australia there would be a legal requirement to have this fixed within a specified time. I wonder if there is a place to report this, since I suspect it likely contravenes several codes.

        Unfortunately, I am subletting through VRBO (kind of like AirBnB) so this is not my fight, but I am pretty upset on behalf of the building’s residents.
