Whoever told you that is only saying things in a very generalized form. Some areas have incredible quality well water, while others have horrible quality that contains bacteria, heavy metals, radionuclides, or contamination. There are many factors that play into how water tastes, feels, smells, etc. Large public…

Yes, groundwater can contain fluoride naturally. In drinking water wells with naturally occurring fluoride, the standard is 4 ppm but a lot of States impose a secondary standard for water systems that feed fluoride at 2 ppm. EPA suggests that systems should not feed about 1.2 ppm and should aim for 0.7 ppm if at all…

In France, mostly nuclear (~72%), renewables (~18%) and fossil fuels (~9%) as of 2016. They have a law in place to produce up to 40% renewables by 2030 so this ban by 2040 is right up their wheelhouse.

Of the neighbors that have any right to be annoyed by it are the ones on that live directly in front of him that share a driveway. I was able to find his place on google and can confirm that he shares a driveway with one of his neighbors. Otherwise, living next to someone with a garage like that is great. My…

• What’s your favorite salad green? Romaine is my go to, it holds up well to almost any dressing and toppings.

I find that the best sandwiches, no matter the type or where you get them, have two things in common. They use good quality ingredients, doesn’t have to be great quality but good. They also have to have a proper ratio of ingredients. Don’t have nice quality thick slices of bread but offer very little between the…

I would only consider withholding my current salary information if I didn’t have any other offers on the table from other companies or a promotion salary that you might be due for. When leaving my last position, I worked for a State gov’t, I knew my salary was going to be lower that a comparable position at a private…

The source of water in LA is more of a concern over a lot of infrastructure issues. Cities have capital improvement plans that project future funding needs based off of how the City is changing. If they need more funding to increase the water lines to accommodate the rising population, they will shift funds or…

6pm.com for shoes no matter who they are for. They have great sales and I have a hard time finding better prices elsewhere.

The xmas tree full of spiders happened to my parents last year. They brought it in and the next day had tiny spiders all over the living room.

I’ve been using Digit since March so it has had a couple of months to learn my spending habits and honestly it keeps impressing me. So far it has saved over $2000 in just a few months but my August savings was $886.71. Were planning on adding this to the down payment for the car we will eventually buy for my wife in a…

I have been using an app called Prosper Daily that you can add all of your debit and credit cards to, it tracks all spending and you can categorize what your purchases are. I use it to make sure that my automatic payments go out on time and to track them. It is pretty cool to see it all and it even tracks auto…

I do this and run it through Plex so I can watch on my roku. Setting up takes about 15 min but the quality is great and you don’t have to worry about blackouts.

“and then engaging in a bunch of airing of grievances” does this mean that Trump will finally make Festivus a true American holiday?

You are correct. There are a lot of VPNs that now sell a lifetime, unlimited subscription for cheap, mine was $50 for a lifetime subscription that I bought about a year and a half ago. I have tried to use it after the initial setup without the VPN but it will not work.

If you’re going to go the VPN route, you don’t need to know a student or be one. Just point your VPN to Europe and get the international game day package that they offer. I did this last year, for $100 I can watch any game I want plus the red zone and have zero issues with blackouts. Quality was really good and was…

The Potomac is brackish as far north as DC. If you go about 20 miles or so down river of DC, you are essentially swimming in the Chesapeake Bay (salinity wise) even though you are still in the river.

Not a huge fan of the 7. It doesn’t have the trimmer blade on the back. I like the 6 plus the best. The best thing about the Dorco razors is that you can use the cartridges for the 6 on the 7 and vice versa. I have been using the 6 plus for a couple years now and have zero desire to stop using it.

Copper pipes also can have lead solder on them as well. Older pipes, from the 80's or earlier, can very well have lead in the solder. Most homes either have some form of plastic (newer homes), copper, galvanized steel, or lead pipes. Galvanized is magnetic so if you can stick a magnet to your service lines, you know…

I have been using Simple in tandem to my big bank that I have been with for a while. I haven’t had any issues so far with Simple but I am starting to like it more then my other bank. What I find really nice is you can add other Countries to the US as places you normally go so you do not have to worry about you account…
