I started with one of those for at least a decade and upgraded to a large dispenser jug in the fridge for like 4 years.

The small pitcher doesn’t hold enough water needing a refill pretty much every use (large water bottles, and several family members). Refilling means setting it in the sink, add water, wait long enough for it to filter the first batch, then add more and return it to the fridge. Takes too long.

The large dispenser jug was a PITA to take out, filter water into (using the top of the Brita pitcher in like 5 batches), then return to the fridge around twice a week, if not more. It’s heavy, that process takes a while, and you’ve gotta babysit it to add enough water and put it away to be chilled.

The countertop cooler filter is much more convenient. It holds ~5 gallons of filtered water and you can dump like 3.5-4 gallons into the top at a time. Takes like 1/5th the time to refill with no babysitting/waiting around to add more water.

The major upgrade there is the hot filteted water. It is SO nice being able to get boiling hot filtered water immediately. I really like hot chocolate, my sister drinks a ton of tea, and we all like instant cup-a-noodles. Never wait for a kettle, and cleaner water than the kettle.

Something like this:

With one of these on top: https://www.zerowater.com/products/filtered-water-cooler

Clean filtered water, both boiling hot and almost ice cold, on-demand. Filling water bottles, cups, making hot chocolate, tea, instant noodles, even just starting to boil a pot using pre-heated water, taking so much less time. I love this thing.

When it comes to filters:

Zerowaters products specifically come with a Total Disolved Solids meter measuring in parts-per-million.

I was previously using a Brita filter jug which poured into a second filter from Aquapur ontop of my cooler.

My Tap water: 143ppm

Brita filter: 139ppm

Brita+Second filter: 87ppm

Replaced both with a single zerowater filter: 0ppm

After pulling close to 30 gallons through that filter its risen to ~8ppm (they want you to replace it at >6)

Have we actually heard anything directly from Iran about this, or just Trumps blabbering? Just because Trump said it doesn’t make it so.

Depends on the client.

I was using Jerboa for quite some time: it doesn’t provide notifications.

Switched to Boost somewhat recently: it does provide notifications.

Bonesmashing: the most radical “Looksmaxxing” trend - Into The Shadows (Today I Found Out)

Because he doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself.

Good. But also lol.

‘Thanks for all the help fucking up Gaza. No; we won’t return the favor’

Does America even make any consumer routers?

Why would the DNC fix it; I thought your supreme leader had everything under control? Isn’t he going to make America great, or do you need someone else to clean up his mess?

So thaaats why orientation is in the office across the street…

I hope they do park it in the straight, AND I hope Iran sinks it with a cheap rpg.

Let me know how it goes, lmao

You heard it here first folks, straight from the horses mouth: it’s all this guys fault the world sucks.

I’m thinking about this, but my HR rep isn’t here today.

Now my ASM is ‘following’ me on that platform. (notification about it, ~2hrs after deleting the comment)

I just woke up from a nap, and now I’m eating cookies. Don’t have any juice boxes on hand tho; a can of cola will have to do.

Being an adult is hard, in so many different ways.

I miss kindergarten.

Another 30+ years of “terrorists”

America claims its attacks are to stop ‘terrorists’, but it’s exactly those actions that are creating ‘terrorists’. And they’re fully justified in becoming ‘terrorists’ imo.

If I lived in Iran, I’d certainly want revenge for this.

(here I’m using the word terrorist to mean ‘enemy of America~s administration~’, as that’s what America has turned that word into)

Prior to this attack, as well as the bunker busters dropped last year: I do not believe Iran is/was creating nuclear weapons.

Since these two attacks however, I believe they’d be justified in seeking such weapons simply because America has proven over and over that no nation is safe without them.

In short; I don’t think they are/were, but I do think they should be in response. As much as I don’t like nuclear proliferation, I’m much much more against deliberately killing innocents, particularly children.

Perhaps I’d have a different opinion if America/Israel struck military targets; but they didn’t. They struck homes, schools, and other civilians.

America is truly a Terrorist State, if not just a lap dog of Israel’s genocidal regime.

The fuck it will. Until you grow a god damn spine and actually issue contempt charges (and have them enforced), ICE is going to continue to wipe their asses with your ‘orders’ and the US Constitution.
