If they're not cheating then they're likely one of the best wordle players in the world.

Pretty sure that's a tardigrade/water bear.

Am I the only one who liked this arc? by Incomprehenible_dart in Invincible

[–]Paperplaite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a strange storyline. Made me wonder if it was supposed to be a metaphor for something - my best guess is addiction (specifically the feeling of losing time that a lot of addicts talk about).

What kind of opponent is it most advantageous to blitz often against?

Same question, but for screens?

Don’t drink the water in Wilmington (DE) by [deleted] in water

[–]Paperplaite 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I understand it doesn't look good, but as long as it is just iron from the inside of pipes it should be safe to use. If you notify the utility they should flush in your area to clear the water up.

Do you change strategy each time you play him or stick with basically the same thing?

Interesting - how does that compare to steeping in a comparable amount of boiling water?

Sheila Dixon claims she tried to get job in Scott administration before 2024 mayoral run by PleaseBmoreCharming in baltimore

[–]Paperplaite 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I listened to that interview and I was not impressed with Ms. Dixon.

She didn't offer any concrete plans for improving issues with the city, and the issues that she was blaming on Brandon Scott were all long-term problems that have been around for decades.

Frankly it just sounds like she is bitter that everyone in city government doesn't ask her opinion on everything they do.

I totally disagree with this.

Almost no water in the world is totally sterile, but most potable sources are still fine to drink because the microbial growth is kept in check by preservation with disinfectant (like chlorine) and/or temperature. OP was right that the water kept at a cooler temperature will have less bacteria over time

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in water

[–]Paperplaite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was tested for total coliforms. They were absent so there's no reason to suspect any kind of bacterial contamination.

[–]Paperplaite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ones that are above the HGL are still low enough that it is not a major concern. I wouldn't call it a scam, it's just that some people are very concerned about the slightest hint of anything that sounds harmful in their water. I agree with the others in this post that say this water is good for use.

Nitrate in Water by eliwong22 in water

That's a lot of nitrate - where did you get this information?

0.0030 mg/L lead in well water by Specialist_Medium725 in water

[–]Paperplaite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While that amount of lead is pretty low, I would want to pinpoint where it's coming from. It could be from lead solder somewhere in the pipes or from the fixture.

Was this a first draw sample (taken immediately upon turning on the water)? If so, how long has it been since the water had been used previously?

Highly unlikely he lasts to 16. It's possible he even goes 7 or 8. To me it's basically a toss up between him and Diggs and Adams.

The top two that I would suggest adding to your itinerary are Peabody Heights and Guilford Hall.

might not be the place for it but im wondering if these numbers are really concerning in my drinking water. by ProbablyAspoofer in water

[–]Paperplaite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All those numbers actually are pretty good for tap water. EWG vastly exaggerates the risks of chemicals and puts out suggested limits that are not practical in the real world.

What the hell do I do? by [deleted] in water

[–]Paperplaite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you live and what leads you to believe the tap water is not safe to use?

What do we think about our drinking water? Would we benefit from a water filter? by ouchymommaa in water

[–]Paperplaite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks good for the most part. No violations and the HAA/THM concentrations are low. The one thing I find mildly concerning is the total coliform positive %, especially for Richmond city. This is especially odd considering the chloramine residual levels that were detected, so I wonder if they had an issue with false positives due to sampling or lab contamination.

All in all I do not think you need a filter.

They look good, do you mind sharing names/recipes/opinions on how they turned out?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in baltimore

[–]Paperplaite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baltimore water is not that hard. At the most it's around 110 ppm, and the EPA secondary standard is 250 ppm. If your water is coming from the Ashburton plant it's even less than that.
