Fortunately for me, I live in a city with pretty good tap water and I have newish copper pipes (post 2000).

The biggest concern we have right now is the potential of PFAS contamination, but its under the EPA and European regulated limits.

Which given what I know about most bottled water sourcing (generally, it’s just tap water from somewhere else) it is really the best I can hope for.

I’ve just done a quick search, and the only articles I’m seeing are reporting on 2 different studies, one about the olfactory bulb and one about brains, nothing about either being disproven.

Not sure what makes them think your house is the problem

This may be one of the health effects they’re talking about.

Same, still loved it. The big reveal completely derailed my brain for a solid minute before I started cackling like a madman.

It’s an excellent movie, I would recommend watching it, even if the synopsis is insane.

Ice Climber mains are going too far

Depending on what you mean by non-steam games. Maybe.

The American Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) is native, it gets upto 80 feet tall.

And while I do have some non-native plants. I’m hoping to fill out the rest of my garden with Native fruit. I have found two native plums to my region(Prunus Niagra and Prunus Americana).

And apparently I’ve been ignoring a variety of native nuts, though they are all too large. I’m hoping to keep any trees under 30ft, but I’m also planting things that aren’t trees.

I’m specifically looking for native fruit. I already have 2 apple trees and a lapin cherry tree.

2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are my usuals.

You need to wake up, you’re turning into America.

Rail is the dream

“It was 2 minutes 5 minutes ago.”

I didn’t expect this meme to come up again so soon. /s

That first paragraph is fair enough.

I’d disagree that the microplastic doomer narrative is incorrect, the plastic in the brain is just the newest tidbit. It’s already in our kldneys, testicles, placentas, blood, semen, livers and lungs. Even if this study is wrong (which I don’t think it is, because its on trend with plastic contamination growth in the rest of our bodies) about how much plastic there is specifically in brains, there’s still easily a credit cards worth in our bodies.

Microplastics are killing worms, it is contaminating soil, it is hurting crops, it is killing fish, and studied effects of plastic on other mammals are bad, to the point it seems pointless to confirm it hurts humans in specific ways before doing something about it.

What information did I present that was untrue? I guess technically there’s more plastic in your brain than required to make a plastic credit card.

Here’s additional supporting research.

It’s likely causing your erectile disfunction, even if it tripled it’s size.

They wouldn’t be plastic and would be biodegradable, which is likely a step in the correct direction.

You’re good, just wanted to be clear.
