AWKWARD ZOMBIE

The tap water here is pretty good, I remember a newspaper organizing a tasting contest with professional wine tasters and they rated some places water higher than bottled.

the water in the last 3 places i've lived has been absolutely shit. tasted really gross and mineraly as it was really hard. i'm REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY picky about water. fortunately the tap where i live now is...not bad, so in a pinch i will drink it, but we still buy filtered water because it just tastes much better.

Sometimes I wish that I could stream whenever I play League. I'm not at all fantastic. I'm barely scraping by Silver V. But I'd just wanna stream while I play, wear a turtle neck the whole time, and see if people watch or give donations.

I wish I had a computer that could handle streaming/video capture while playing vidya. Or all the nice-looking Skyrim proletariats. Someday man, someday.

Re: tapwater: my hometown recently started re-treating wastewater into drinking water because of the drought. A lot of folks freaked out even though plenty of places do this already. I haven't been back home since they've started so I can't judge the tapwater from here.

Well water for the win.

Today I learned that we have the highest quality tap water in the world.

Is there really anything north-Europe can do wrong, aside from summer, that is.

Hold a colony?

Successfully intergrate immigrants?

Not be depressed.

Joy is but the shadow that pain casts, Mete

Nevermore.

I might put more stock into that if I didn't know that "professional wine tasters" are as good at their profession as any random person. They pretend to be able to discern tastes but judging from several experiments done with them, they're bullshitting people.

Yeah, what Madican said.

Besides, tap water tastes different depending on where it comes from and it's just a matter of whether you're used to the taste or it's something you like or not. There's a lot of lime in the water in eastern Washington, and there's a lot of sulfur in the water near Reno, Nevada. I can't stand Reno's sulfury water.

But no matter where you live, restaurants and bottled water don't have anything magical about them. It's still just tap water .

I actually remember this video I saw where a group of people performed an experiment--they rented out a fancy restaurant and distributed water menus to customers, with fancy upscale names for all their different 'flavors' of water and different origins for each one--you know, the kind of thing you see on the plastic water bottles. "Spring water from the highest peak of the alpines", and "water from the fountain of Buckingham palace", and "Jesus's baptism water" (in case someone doesn't catch on, I'm exaggerating).
Anyway all of their 'gourmet' waters were filled from the same source and customers reported that the water somehow tasted 'better' or more 'refined' and 'pure'. "So much better than the water we get elsewhere," they say. It was like...95% placebo.

Just stick some lemon in my restaurant water and I won't care if its tap or not.
