stefan86's offtopic random retard thread - post away!

I have a tale to tell about Water where I live. I was for a short time I water testing guy, I went from place to place on call testing people's water and seeing how much random shit was in it. In my own house right now, there is almsot twice the amount of chlorine in my water than there is in a well cleaned swiming pool, and enough random metals and sediment that when you isolate it from the water it leaves about 0.25 cm of scummy shit at the bottom of a standard 16x150mm test tube (they are about 6 inches tall and narrow). 0.25 cm of material might not sound like a lot but this is one small test tube with a small amount of water. An actual full size glass of water would probably look like the bottom of hot chocolate when you leave it to long and the chocolate settles at the bottom. Of course if you don't actually put something in the water to make the metals settle you never see it so most people don't know it's in there.

So I ask, have you ever seen a pool and thought to yourself "Gee that is ideal water for drinking, I just love chlorine in my diet"? Because here in Windsor we drink more than that, and that's not including how many other chemicals it goes through. At least Flouride has been removed from it. Also if I fill a plastic bottle with water and I leave it for about 4 hours and then take a sip, it tastes "stale" and almost smokey. I can't find the right word for teh flavour but it's not pleasant.

On the bright side my parents house in a small town has nearly perfect water. When I go to their house and have a glass of water it always makes me do a double take because I've forgotten what clean water tastes like (basically like nothing).

We live in a disgusting world. I need to get out of this city.

So in conclusion, I should start replacing water with Beer. I might actually live longer that way.

i almost never drink directly from the tap, here we always use water purifiers with carbon filters, i don't know how much effective it is thou.

not directly related but this is good to know:

I don't see the big deal, I love the taste of ground-up bugs and glue

 

[DarkGift]

as previously said; swedish tap water ftw!

 

[Belac]

You and you fucking Swedishness. Think your so great with your high standards of living and education and energy-efficiency and undertanding of economics and infrastructure and your clean tap water and your Death Metal. Pfft, what a bunch of communist nonsense.

Real men drink pure poison and ignore the doctor

Real men drink pure poison and ignore the doctor

At least you can choose to ignore the doctor in Canada I have to pay two weeks salary to do it here.

 

[Belac]

Well technically I pay into the doctor regardless through taxes, it's jsut government regulated so the medical costs are practical and it can't be taken away by private insurance when it gets expensive. Employers offer benefits (Like Massages and Optomoestrist) but actual health-care is mandatory here. You probably know that though.

It should be that way as far as I'm concerned, health is the single most important thing in someone's life and you should be paying towards it no matter what so it's always there any time you need it. A friend of our family was forced to have in-home nursing care and the Nurse straight up told her that if she were in the states it would have cost a minimum of $30,000, and as soon as she couldn't pay up the care would have stopped. That's scary man, I wouldn't want to live with that paranoia.

Hey guys, I know I don't post here too frequently, so I apologize for the spam post...

My band just launched an Indiegogo campaign to help raise some funds for the recording and pressing on CD and vinyl of our next album. You can check out the campaign at: http://igg.me/at/GSF

Perhaps you will find a perk to your likings...if not, helping spread the word about the campaign is almost as important as making a monitary contribution. We appreciate all the help we can get.

Thanks,
Rick

My guinea pig Mr. Crip knows all, and he gives me that knowledge which he sees is fit for me know.
