Or my party, struggling with unlocked doors.

How can you have a name like that and not have it changed to remove the c and the r? Electra Shock

Like the other person said, a scam, but to give the claim...

Black water or alkaline black water is power-packed with minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.

Sounds like my well water if you boil off some of the water.

Its distinct colour is attained by the elevated alkaline water pH that ranges between eight to nine.

PH doesn't change the color. A thing that changes PH may also change the color but the PH itself is not responsible.

Correct. If you take a totally clean, disinfected nail, stick it in some lab grade brine until it gets rusty, and then stab yourself with it, there is a 0% chance of getting tetanus.

You could technically have tetanus on something without it being covered in dirt. My point is tetanus bacteria lives in the dirt. But the rust has nothing to do with it other than making the metal more likely to cut or pierce you.

People tend to think the rust is what causes it.

Fun fact: tetanus comes from dirt, not rust. But it has to get into your blood and typically that only happens when you get pierced by a piece of dirty metal, which will typically be rusty if it's in that situation.

So looking at a map.of New Yorks bays and ignoring depth and bridges I'm going to assume this is about 2 miles long or 10,560ft. I have no evidence and just eyeballed it.

Meaning if you can overcome the skin friction it has a hull speed of about 160mph...without planing.

Modern carriers have a hull speed in the neighborhood of 45mph (though officially the top speed is like 35mph) and normally cruise at 25-30mph so the slow pokes can keep up.

I got a bit hypoxic on top of a mountain. It was 29°F with the wind you'd expect at 14000ft, and I'm just standing there in a t-shirt because I was just so nice and warm, also I was so loopy I could not stop laughing.

Just don't forget to take the battery out so it can be safely disposed of in the ocean.

This article has as much substance to it as a saltine cracker.

It lines up exactly with other vegan talking points like that "Where do you draw the line" billboard so pretty good chance that's what they're going for.

What pearl clutching son of a bitch at lemmy.ml decided its users were too fragile to hear the word "bitch"? And here's the real question, can you read ot or does it censor mine? Because if you can read it then what's the point of censoring your own users?

Edit: yeah Kbin lets you say it.

Among higher than average users it seemingly was. Given that reddit was saying the third party apps were using above average amounts of API calls per user. They said it's because of the 3PAs baing unoptimized but it was likely that more engaged users used 3PAs.
