I guess the saying is literal now: " the right would eat shit if it meant the left had to smell it".

I said once that Trump could shit his pants, reach down and eat it, and magats would cheer him on and say "real men eat shit" unironically.

I stand by that statement

Countertop reverse osmosis systems look more appealing all the time.

Still need to treat with something like chlorine, bromine, or UV afterwords to prevent viruses and such.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Oh RFK will not let them add all that to the water.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Bleach it is.

That's where all the delicious parasite eggs are. Parasites need to mind control their host some how

RO systems filter out viruses. Googling confirms this.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Well they must be different membranes than we used on the ships, because we had a bromine injection unit before the tanks.

If it's RO then it's RO. If it sits there is always a chance of contamination, and if this is a navy ship there is a risk reward ratio.

This is what you get when Nestle have a whisper in his ear.

Watch the price of bottled water skyrocket.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago

bottled water quality is less regulated than tap water lol

[-] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

people don't know that though, they think its safer.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

With this ruling, is that still the case?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Most bottled water is tap water so probably

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Raw sewage IS free speech. Mah rights

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Wow... What can even be done about this? I don't want to bathe in and consume shit water :(

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Basically, the EPA has been saying "we don't care what you actually release, so long as the water you release it into is at least [this] clean" after you do it." With this approach, the city has to monitor the water, and they become responsible for whatever anybody dumps in the water anywhere, even outside the city's jurisdiction. When a cruise ship dumps its sewage tanks overboard 30 miles up current, the city is responsible for that dumping, even though they have no jurisdiction over the ship.

The court said this isn't acceptable. They said the EPA - not the city - is responsible for the water. The EPA must specify exactly what can and cannot be released. If they aren't satisfied with the water quality, they have to tell the city to release less, and/or go after the other entities doing the dumping.

This ruling is much ado about nothing.

Thanks. Since it was San Francisco suing, I’d been meaning to look more into it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I understood it as the epa can't enforce how much people dump now?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

No, that's not true at all. The EPA can still set specific standards on what, when, how much, and how often they can dump.

They just can't offload responsibility for ensuring water quality to the dumper: They have to actually enforce their dumping standards.

oof, trump is literally the shittiest president 🤦

[-] Worx 6 points 4 months ago

We tried that in the UK and it's not going great for us

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

It was Roadkill Fucker Kennedy's idea. He's already in board with raw milk, after all.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

That a great news for Nestlé. This will boost their actions...

[-] radiohead37 5 points 4 months ago

When asked about climate change, trump would always talk about clean air and clean water. Now, he is getting rid of clean water too.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Nestlé is having a good time 💀
