There is a slight issue…there was a time when a lot of spigots were made with brass containing high levels of lead.
The amount of exposure from infrequent, or even sparodic use over several year, is more than likely nothing to worry about though.
Even still, when shopping for a spigot, you’ve got to be careful. A lot are marked “Non-Potable Use” for that reason.
Also I feel something is gross about drinking from places we don’t usually drink from. Like we use different cleaning products there and we clean them less frequently, and they seem inferior to me as a result. Especially the bathroom sink. Like someone just pooped three feet away from it a couple hours ago and then touched the thing and uuuuuggggghhhh.
It’s weird how a lot of those types of shows seem different just a few years later, in the streaming/binge-watching era.
Those types of shows…House, CSI, etc…the formula itself just gets so dull and routine over and over again with nothing in between.
Conversely, long drawn out dramas that don’t reset 90% of the stage every episode, like Breaking Bad work really well. I’d say it even works well for most of GoT.
In fact, I’d say it makes some shows better. “Lost” was a big letdown for people watching it week to week and season to season over the course of nearly six years. But when I binge-watched it for the first time over a few weeks, I don’t think it was nearly as bad as an ending as people make it out to be.
I never watched Weeds all the way through. I quit when it started getting too self-aware and cliche (somewhere around the tunnel). It was just right before that, and it started to fall off. I think watching it in a binge manner might be a bit more quaint because that shark-jumping becomes part of its charm.
All the things you mentioned are acidic.
It sounds like you’ve got the first known case of antacid reflux. I recommend one ghost pepper, rectally, three times a day until symptoms improve. And since I’m not a doctor this doesn’t count as medical advice.
And the emphasis earlier was on “good” poo. I’ve had plenty of mediocre poos…even when eating relatively healthy, they don’t compare to a “I’ve been taking fiber supplements consistently for a few days” poo. Those are bliss.
Completely understandable. Some doctors are reluctant to consider long COVID, even though food aversion could be caused by it.
Good luck getting to the bottom of it. I’d be freaking out the more mysterious it gets. Especially for a GI issue since they can get a pretty damn good look at the whole thing from several angles.
Re: the fiber…not even liquid Metamucil? I’d be feeling terrible if I was going months without a good poo. That’d probably be more difficult for me than living off ensure (considering I had voluntarily done several week juice-fasts or just soylent+coffee)
NFTs are supposed to be cryptographically secure and blockchain-tracked certificates of authenticity for digital goods. “This is a unique original work by so-and-so”. Any duplication wouldn’t have the same hash and thus is not legitimate.
There are plenty of good uses for this if you are of the mindset that digital goods need to be protected and proven as unique and original works. In a proper setup, it would negate the need for DRM and enable the legal sale and trade of digital media/games in the secondary market, by preventing unlawful duplication (piracy). This is beneficial because piracy, as GabeN prophesized, is an issue of service, not price. Consumers are typically willing to pay good money for good entertainment. They do not want to pay good money and find that a game is incomplete or poorly optimized, or to have less product (digital good) for the same price (physical good) (i.e., not being able to re-download after an arbitrary date, not be able to resell, lack of boxart, bonus content, etc).
Was he briefly John Travolta in 1997? Wtf happened?
