apparently smokey.... lol love the fake indignation. everyone has to be good at something in life.

[LTR]

I didn't say every day. I haven't had a Timmy's donut in more than 3 year bro.... so donuts have nothing to do with why I'm fat.

 

Beer, amiright?

[HERPDERP]

chums..water > everything

 

I bet everyone here drinks tap water or bottled water

 

get a brita filter and drown in bliss.

Obviously I f***ing do you little f***ing s***!!!!

 

I'm just kidding around nd was being mostly sarcastic before... But there is some truth however to the fact that if a mod wants to throw his weight around (hehe), he should at least first set a better example and gain some credibility before getting trigger happy.

[HERPDERP]

Tap water is Canada is great though... why use a filter if you don't have to?

 

Tap water is perfectly fine to drink but the taste is not as good, probably cause of the fluoride.

Do not get a Brita Filter unless you want to keep drinking contaminated tap water. The water will taste good because it removes chlorine and it will remove a portion of some other unwanted elements but overall you're still drinking dirty tap water.

 

Buy spring water from a good source or consider reverse osmosis system (removes everything even minerals though).

Beneficial if your supply pipes are copper instead of PEX, which I assume is the case for most people.

Questioning him banning people willy nilly in the same thread that triggered such bannings is going off topic, but not talking about donuts in a completely unrelated thread. O2 should ban himself.

Brita water does taste great. As do Iced Capps, though I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to those things. Tim Hortons coffee is often terrible, but is decent when you finally do get a good cup. Thankfully, I'm over buying fourteen before finally getting that one good cup. That Oreo donut was a massive disappointment. I don't really know what I was expecting it to be filled with, but finding out it was vanilla icing was not pleasant...

 

I wanted to end this with something Blue Jays related, but meh.

[Jimcanuck]

Brita = placebo effect

 

You only think it tastes better.

Sort of true... It does taste better but not because of the filtering. Leaving an unfiltered pot of water in the fridge accomplishes the same thing taste wise.

I heard tap water gives cats diabetes.

Did you know that in China, you have to specify that you want ice water, otherwise they bring you hot water. Not room temperature, but hot water. They also look at you oddly when you order ice water, or maybe that's just because you're white...

blah blah blah.... cranky is what cranky does.

 

one group of the boards think half the people here should banned, but when it's one of them that gets banned, oh lordy, the sky is falling.

 

lol

 

my credibility is just fine.

[baubau]

We can only hope.

 

f*** cats.

Ice water is a very North American thing (as far as I know) but most places would at least bring you room temperature water (which I don't mind). I had a teacher who drank hot water because she weened herself off of coffee but I always thought that was weird.

It removes 99% of chlorine, and that's what makes it taste better. There's no placebo effect.

Hot water is actually, from my experience, a pretty Asian thing to do. They also add lemon or other stuff to it as well. Tastes nasty fo sho!

doubtful you'd be able to tell the diff from two glasses of water at the same temp.... one tap, one Brita

[LTR]

It's completely obvious. Do you smoke? Smoking kills your taste buds.

[Brownie19]

(shakes head) - WTF is going on...

a lot of countries you have to pay for tap water... But in many of those countries you'd probably be smarter to stick to something bottled.

no i don't and no its not obvious

If they had the tools NASA has they could turn their piss into drinking water

And cruise ships turn tap water into drinking water. There are lots of ways to make water clean but it's producting the energy required that's the kicker. In the case of the cruise ships, they are just recouping energy from the engines. Maybe we could this on a small scale? Like every car would have to purify a certain amount of water for every litre of fuel (or electricity) it consumes. Probably not a practical idea in the slightest but fun to consider.

Like a utility/Water bill that cities generally bill lol

True! We need cold fusion or something, once we figure how to create more energy from it than we put in...

there are some countries where piss would be a better alternative but still not recommended.

 

luckily the water here is really good.
