    Tap water quality where you live

    Yep, I get pretty much everything from BRS. I have a few good LFS around me that I grab sediment filters from since they are cheap and generally not worth having to ship. When anyone asks me on how to set up a water filter system I point them to BRS instead of the solutions on Amazon.

    Tap water quality where you live

    I think boiling is to kill any bacteria in the water, that's it. If you want truly filtered water at home, get a RO system.

    Crime Four LEOs dead and Four Injured in Charlotte, NC Shooting. Suspect dead.

    When I see shit like this I always wonder what the "TRY AND TAKE EM" crowd thinks would happen if the government actually wanted to take their guns. Doesn't matter how many guns and how much ammo you have, you are going to lose.

    Tap water quality where you live

    My tap water here isn't that bad, around 125 TDS. I have a RO/DI system to make water for my reef tank so I split a line out after the RO filter, before the DI resin that runs to my refrigerator for drinking water and ice. It drops the water down to around 5 TDS.

    Civil War movie

    I saw it opening weekend. I figured they wouldn't touch on why the war started, who all is involved, etc etc but outside of one or two lines they do not cover it at all. The trailer pretty much covers everything about the background of the war. That wasn't going to be a deal breaker because I...

    Social Did Kristi Noem ruin her political future?

    I'd say the large majority of people don't understand what it takes to properly care for fish. They go into a big box store and their kids ask them for fish. They buy them that day and toss them in a tank of water that has no cycled filter that is probably too small for the fish to begin with...

    A 2:01 marathon runner who had difficulty running Boston Marathon back for 4th time.

    Even post Boston bombing where security has been stepped up at big races, I am always uneasy at the start lines for big races. These events have always seemed like a place a mass shooter would choose. At large races you are packed in like fish in a barrel at the start line for a good 30 minutes...

    Economy The collapse of downtown Los Angeles

    You could use that logic anywhere, my tax dollars shouldn't go to people who choose to have 50 kids, or choose to do drugs, or choose to be homeless, or choose to live in shit parts of the country, etc etc. These type of people will continue to move the goal posts when it comes to any social...

    Economy The collapse of downtown Los Angeles

    The same group of people that say shit like this are also in the group that bitches when Biden forgives student loans. "WHY SHOULD A PLUMBER PAY FOR YOUR LOANS?!?!?!?!?!" Lets not act like this group of people would be all for using tax money to help homless/poor people.

    What should Tarantino's last movie be about?

    His movies have trended downward for me after Inglorious Basterds. I liked Djano, Hateful Eight was meh, and I didn't like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at all outside of a few scenes. The Critic sounded terrible, so I'm glad it was scrapped.

    Law I know why we're helping Ukraine; But Congress should be charged with treason.

    Citizens probably, but the politicians that won't stop yapping about it? Highly doubt it. The border is the new boogeyman/rally point for a lot of republicans. They don't want it to get fixed, if they actually wanted to do some good they would have passed the bipartisan bill but instead they...

    Elections Government Voter Registration Website Has Sketchy Results - If You Like Democracy It's Time for Voter ID

    To vote by mail here in PA, I had to provide my valid address along with my drivers license number. These idiots act like you can request and submit a ballot with just a name.

    Elon Musk Agrees to $44b Deal for Twitter

    What policies/laws has Biden put in place/signed that has 'made shit way worse'? And what exactly would Trump do to fix things?

    Is Chester Bennington the best vocalist screamer?

    This, there are entire genres of music based around a screaming vocalist. Thinking that the dude from Linkin Park is the best is pretty silly.

    NHL 23: Broken Sternums and Broken Dreams

    Ned was better than Jarry down the stretch but goaltending wasn't their issue this year. Sullivan still has them playing like they are the fast team from 2016 and not the very old aging roster that they really are. If they want to run it back with this roster and actually compete then they need...

    NHL 23: Broken Sternums and Broken Dreams

    The sad part is that this was one of Sid's best seasons ever. I honestly wouldn't be mad if they traded him to a contender (if he wanted) and let the tank/rebuild begin.

    NHL 23: Broken Sternums and Broken Dreams

    Two crap icing calls were the only reason that Detroit even had time to tie it up but in the end, Philly screws us all. As a pens fan I am not too pissed about it. This coaching staff better be gone the minute tomorrows game is over. If they had an even slightly below average PP, they would...

    Movies Rate and Discuss the Last Movie You Saw v.16

    I tried to find the threads for it but the search turned up nothing. I thought I remember seeing one in the mayberry and another in the war room but I guess they got nuked.

    A 2:01 marathon runner who had difficulty running Boston Marathon back for 4th time.

    I always wanted to qualify for Boston but for me that would mean a sub 3 hour result, my PR is 3:20. The marathon is just a different beast. So many more variables come into play once you cross 15 miles that can derail a result.

    Movies Rate and Discuss the Last Movie You Saw v.16

    I saw Civil War today. I knew going into it that they likely wouldn't cover much about the background of the actual war, like how it started, who all is involved, etc etc and that it would be more about the press/photographers. That was pretty much correct but they basically did not cover it at...
