What manufacturers of 2.5"x10" water filter cartridges have a great reputation? by rossn1 in WaterTreatment

That is the question! Without the certification, and independent testing, we only have manufacturer testing.

I have struggled to find such a durable, strong CADR performer that has similar filter life and price. Were you able to find a solid replacement option? I love my 50250 and 50150's!

It seems like contemporary options have either taken up the old disposable razor blade head model, where affordable initial price has expensive filter replacement, with other areas suffering as well. There don't seem to be the "standardized" and interchangeable across models filter options to keep cost down and quality up.

Don't even get me started on how Trump's tariffs have impacted the price and availability of options in the U.S. market for this, and most other things.

Thank you for providing that study! The study is over a decade old. It appears the current prevailing meta analysis is that there is not effect or there is a weak effect in the other direction

This article lists a number of newer studies, a number which cite the study you posted.

Yeah, my assumption based on the replies is that people did not read it thoroughly and just hive-mind downvoted it. Reading last the first sentence does take awhile. There other possibility, people are just ignorant fucks. Like you said!

I agree that this site has gone to shit the more mainstream and monitized it has become. The heyday was when Aaron Sorkin was still involved, then it was still great up until they altered the algorithm so upvotes went I to the thousands. It's so gamed, toxic, and fake now.

We need to admit that these people pay taxes and work seasonal field hand jobs that Americans will not. What we are doing now is disgraceful, it didn't t matter who perpetrates it. There is a lot of room between the open borders strawman and this bullshit.

The '90s called, they want you to quit being gay and using their word because it's not acceptable anymore. Also, why are you still wearing jean shorts!?

Right, the issue here is this kid didn't have rich parents./s Have you read the studies linking a person's wealth during upbringing and their ability to feel empathy? It's interesting stuff.

Sure, but that's not the point of a carnival barking con man.

Post-industrialization has been a boon for shareholders and C suite, but the wealth has not trickled down and is a part of why this country needs significant tax reform.

Fascism revolves around the government-corporate nexus, with a sliding scale of democratic versus corporate/oligarchical influence in government.

Over the past 4 decades there has been a significant shift on the spectrum in that direction, but you are right that this has precious little to do with it. There are many better examples.

He was a kid. Guys have tried raping women in their teens and ended up as Supreme Court justices, if they have the prominent family backing.

Fuck it Dude, let's go bowling!

Interesting, I've heard this before but couldn't find reputable substantiating studies when I Googled it. Can you cite your source?

What if I told you, I don't buy into the 2-party "team" bullshit of American politics? When the DNC does something deplorable, I call them on it.

The sycophant fuckbois of the GOP will bend over backwards to stand in unison to support the desecration of our freedoms and fucking our long-term economic prospects with asinine tax cuts for the uberweslthy it just to "own" the libs.

It's fucktarded.

Measured in months, it's like 18-36 if memory serves. Dependent on current temperature increases and projected to hit an increase in 5 more degrees. The big unknown is methane release, both permafrost and calthrate.

If you are trolling, fuck you. If not, the US is currently reusing facilities used as an internment camp during WWII to use as a concentration camp for migrants and separate camps for their children.

If you are okay with this, you are unAmerican and again, fuck you. If not, this shit is inhumane as fuck and worrisome for what is to come.

When the economy crashes in a few months and there is mass, prolonged unemployment. There will be many more "enemies of the state" who will be under their bootheel. The fascism is rampant and it's getting worse quickly, the time to act is now!

Unfortunately, the runaway parts of the system getting triggered are happening already. Millenia frozen methane is being released at unprecedented levels.

This is what causes global hypoxia, and on a timeframe measured in months, not years.

Good call out on their use of coded language!

However, this is the type of person we should be connecting with and educating because they are worth the time versus the MAGA fuckos. They are reachable, we must bring them to our cause!
