Remember who you're dealing with here. ;) What info do I need to know what to buy? Or should I just go to a shop?

I don't know where you live so obviously can't speak about your exact situation. And I don't know how to quantify "percentage of potable water", you'd have to explain exactly what numbers you want to...

Well, I don't *need* to change it out, but I have pedaled the paths and know that it would help to have it be more usable, especially so if I put different tires on. And while it will work, I have...

Not sure if I should post this in here of the "gravel nerds" thread.

Thinking of converting my old 2008 Yeti 575 into a gravel/townie bike; it doesn't have much resale value and I think it will...

I didn't know that one, but getting water from the Missouri River has been floated (see what we both did there) as well. I know these ideas are out there. And eventually they will get more serious....

Duh, it's printed on the paper the constitution is written on, see?

Stupid libtard.

"Look, we cut the wife-beaters when they play like shit and get arrested for other crimes!"

I wasn't actually being serious, was just poking fun at Bmills's post.

Though eventually shit like that will be put on the table.

Uh, we already reclaim waste water pretty much EVERYWHERE. Unless you live in the first stop of the water from from the mountains, you're very likely drinking reclaimed waste water. So I'm gonna go...

except google spells it out this way "pow·tuh·bl". And everyone here knows that "pow" is not pronounced "poe". So can google be trusted?

I'm no wordmaster, but saying it's pronounced "poe-table" isn't right either, because that indicates that syllables 2/3 are pronounced "table", i.e. "tay-bull", when it is actually pronounced...

The Mississippi River makes a lot more sense.

Hate seeing BZ threads bumped. :(

ETA: not intending that to be a criticism of KQ, I just see him as the OP and has a sad.

That's what I thought.

Remind me where I said substantial water left earth regularly? Or just keep doing what you do, which is nothing but angrily attack everyone in an attempt to demonstrate that you are smarter and more...

One hudge example was right in the article Ak47bp posted: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 (sugar)+ 6O2

This whole thread is about consumptive uses of water.

I'm hopeful one of those resident scientists can weigh in as well, rather than someone just saying "you wrong". And FWIW, the notion that the elements that make up water remain constant on earth (or...

no doubt they're not in my wheelhouse. But are you suggesting that the article supports AK47bp's position that the amount of water remains completely constant on the planet as a matter of scientific...

I suggest you read the article.

ETA: matter in the universe stays constant. Nobody is arguing against that. That does not mean that the quantity of "water" -- in the form of vapor or liquid or...

So, when they shoot rockets into space, they're not really going into space because all matter on earth is static? And water may be made up of hydrogen and oxygen, but can never ever be separated...

well of course, it's metered not just for shits and giggles, but to make sure that you don't exceed usage of your water right. But trust me, there are TONS AND TONS of wells across the west that are...

I never said there isn't monitoring, though it varies by state (and probably varies within each state). My state probably does a better job monitoring than any other, so I understand this well. ...

Water rights usage is not reported to the feds. There may be projects that have reporting requirements, and there may be states that track water usage carefully, but what you describe simply does...

Oceans are rising pretty rapidly, that seems to be a fact. And humans are mostly water, there seems to be an ever-growing number of us.

Plus, is the earth a fully closed system where water must...

The single best Onion baseball headline ever: https://www.theonion.com/report-nothing-beats-seeing-yankees-lose-at-home-1849414524?

You need to change your focus to consumptive uses. For example, washing clothes and showering frequently costs energy, and reducing the frequency of those saves energy. So to the extent energy...

Just didn't want this gem to go unnoticed.

Ikon's magnet letters do encourage this, but I was a proud papa to randomly find this on my fridge:

That's what I would do, don't need much for a 3 night trip. Biggest problems are that I have to take a small travel pillow (helps with neck issue) and my laptop, so not as much room for other stuff....

They certainly make it confusing re bags, they want you to pay more than you need so they offer "bundles" but I think you can also add the bags a la carte later in the checkout process. Also, the...

It still is, basically a small backpack that must sit under the seat in front.

I am fine with not being served drinks or snacks, or even not having a seat until check in. My biggest problem with the budget airlines is the ability to only bring a small backpack, can I pack...

Are you at the beach?

Searching for flights on kayak, came across Allegiant Airlines with crazy good prices on an unusual route. Never heard of them. Are they abysmal or manageable?

Then you have to decide who is sponge worthy.

I have often said that the "water wars" that everyone assumes are coming out West are actually going to happen in the East. While of course it is drier in the West, we have an entirely different set...

Generally speaking, watering a lawn shouldn't be recharging an aquifer because that probably means you're significantly overwatering. Plus, most overwatering of lawns that I see returns to the...

Budget bidets (don't need electricity), what's the best?

Regarding watering lawns, it's a complex question that is dependent on a lot of things. Montucky's "you're good" isn't necessarily the correct answer, because the entire west has drought and water...

I prefer to view lawns as slack in the system just waiting to be taken out. :D

wait, what?

That too

Shit that annoys you?
Random unthreadworthy question?

Oh sure, hit me with the old "there's a team other than the Yankees in NYC?"

It works. :(




Tatis suspended for 80 games for PEDs, sheesh.

It's a TGR specialty. Baseball is just the flavor de jour.
