Domestic Hot Water (#DHW) periodic #pasteurisation of storage to prevent #Legionnaires' disease is hard to do with a heat pump (getting up to ~60C), so I do something a bit differerent:

When there is sufficient sunshine the system is set up to automagically do it a bit less than weekly by direct diversion from PV; in winter once or twice a month from the #grid when #carbonIntensity is low...

What to know about #Legionnaires' disease, which has sickened dozens in #NYC
An outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in NYC has killed 2 people & sickened 58 since late July.
City #health officials link the Central #Harlem outbreak to #CoolingTowers, structures containing water & a fan that are used to cool buildings. They said 11 of these towers initially tested positive for a type of #bacteria that causes Legionnaires’, but the problem has been remedied.

The NYC #Legionnaires outbreak has grown to 22 cases, with 1 death. Cases have been reported in Central Harlem (ZIP codes 10027, 10030, 10035, 10037 & 10039) & bordering communities. Sounds like cooling towers (multiple?) may be the source??? https://www.nyc.gov/site/doh/about/press/pr2025/nyc-health-provides-update-on-legionnaires-cluster.page

As #Flint struggled with #WaterQuality, it also saw an outbreak of #Legionnaires' disease, leading to the #deaths of at least 12 people & sickening dozens more.
Today, the #EPA states 97% of #lead service lines have been replaced, although last year a federal judge held the city of Flint in #contempt over taking too long to replace some remaining lead pipes.

Card 102: Kid Quantum
Another tough power to render, though the "colorful stasis field" could have been something.
Good use of the Legion logo on the last Legionnaires card.
-
Card 101: Catspaw
Every team needs a cat person.
The top down, slightly-angled perspective here makes the card really dynamic.
-
Card 100: Dragonmage
I legit don't know much about this character, but I like this moody, atmospheric card.
-
Card 099: Computo
The circuitry backdrop is reminiscent of Iron Man's MU series 2 card.
Nice to see a "Legionnaire" who isn't a duplicate of an older LSH character.
-
Card 098: Ferro
Well, now they're not even trying, just dropping the "Lad" off his original name. Good card though.
-
Card 097: Gossamer
Gossamer is a terribly generic codename, especially when "LIGHTENING Lass" is right there, to make a punny distinction between her old powers (and her brother's), and her newer density-based ones.
-
Card 096: Alchemist
Pearson is almost Bachalo-esque here, though what Alchemist is actually doing gets a little lost (alchemy is a tough power to render via trading card).
-
Card 095: Matter Eater Lad
Is there a better name in all of comics than, "Matter Eater Lad?" Discuss.
-
Card 094: Ultra Boy
Jo Nah swallowed by a space whale. Never change, Legion, never change.
The whole "one power at a time" thing is such a clever conceit for a superpower.
-
Card 093: Brainiac 5
What a fantastic facial expression of annoyance & disdain.
At first glance of the cardback image, I wondered why Ikaris of the Eternals was on the card.
-
Card 092: Andromeda
AKA Substitute Supergirl.
A very Adam Hughes card.
-
Card 091: Inferno
"Dirk Morgna" is another real name all-timer.
Chris Sprouse? Good at facial expressions.
-
Card 090: Shrinking Violet
Seriously, these Legion cards continue to be bangers.
"Shrinking Violet" is one of my favorites of the "updated" Legion codenames.
-
Card 089: Leviathan
Once again, a great mix of "showing off the power" and characterization in the cardfront image.
-
Card 088: Invisible Kid
Okay, now this is a cool-ass card and a great way to depict an especially tricky trading card power.
-
Card 087: Chameleon
For whatever reason, dropping the "Boy" bothers me less w/Chameleon.
Starting to think this set is underrated for its ability to depict less trading card-friendly powers like shapeshifting well.
-
Card 086: Triad
Another card where the story threatens to overwhelm the spotlight character, with the antagonist dwarfing the hero(es).

Card 085: Apparition
Fun to see Adam Hughes trading card art, though this one makes Phantom Girl seem like a table dancer.

Earlier today, I posted about the tragic death of an #AsylumSeeker who was 'housed' in Manston Airport. He passed away because of a #diptheria outbreak at that unhygienic place
An hour ago, I learnt that ALL 38 asylum seekers are to be taken off the #BibbyStockholm because of a substantial #Legionnaires outbreak.
Humans are not supposed to live like this.
We are neither commodities nor packages.
I truly hate the bastards that do this.
