I'm about to install a reverse osmosis water filter because I want less PFOS (and other crap) in me. I understand this will also get rid of most of the fluoride.

I assume we'll be fine because we brush or use fluoride mouthwash daily. But I'd like to hear if anyone thinks otherwise. I'm not opposed to fluoride in water, just wondering how much downside there is to not having it in my water when we do use fluoride otherwise.

I also saw it in the theater. So tragic that it did so poorly in theatres.

Visually stunning. There are some amazing looking scenes, standout being the huge holographic woman.

Tragic storytelling. These poor goddamn replicants who are so close to human.

Fascinating characters both real and virtual.

Instant classic. Different from the original and both better and worse.

I own this on blue ray. Thanks for the reminder, I need to rewatch both of these awesome films.

How do you store your grounded coffee? (slrpnk.net)

Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don’t store much at the time, it’s just if I grind a little too much and what not. I’m assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a...

I think this is the correct answer. When I went back to drinking coffee again a few years ago I bought a cheap hand grinder from scamazon. When money was available I bought the electric grinder I have now. I still use the hand grinder when camping.

I keep my beans in the freezer. If I kept ground coffee around I'd keep it there too.

ETA: I think this is the hand grinder I have: https://www.amazon.com/PARACITY-Grinder-Stainless-Aeropress-Espresso/dp/B08QRL9Q4Q/ref=sr_1_16

How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas (sherwood.news)

There are lots of reasons to want to shut off your car’s data collection. The Mozilla Foundation has called modern cars “surveillance machines on wheels” and ranked them worse than any other product category last year, with all 25 car brands they reviewed failing to offer adequate privacy protections....

Please call your local dealer and ask.

I vote for the one with "more funs".

Don't we all need more funs?

How do people actually dumpster dive to get free food? Are there any other cheap/free ways like this to get food?

My local food bank can only provide 8 packages with referrals every time before you run out, and I have, but my situation hasn’t improved financially due to various set backs and I’m struggling to feed myself. I’ve heard that supermarkets throw out massive amounts, but have never been in a position where dumpster diving...

What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

It bugs me when people say “the thing is is that” (if you listen for it, you’ll start hearing it… or maybe that’s something that people only do in my area.) (“What the thing is is that…” is fine. But “the thing is is that…” bugs me.)...

I loathe: "With that said...".

This is almost always meaningless words thrown in to make the listener(s) think you're more intelligent. I always think the opposite.

Also: ATM machine. So...the machine machine? Not just the machine?

I assume I'm unusual because whenever I say an acronym I think the entire phrase. So repetition like this grates on my nerves.

People do this with other acronyms...can't think of other examples now.

My neighborhood used to have blackouts for a day or so once or twice in the summer. I assume this was due to heavy loads when it was hot.

I assume this will stop now that a few houses have rooftop solar. We will see.

So, similar things happening in the US.

I have been thinking about trying online dating again. Not really looking forward to it because I expect it to be a mess.

I think I'll try a very minimalist approach on my profile because most people read profiles looking for reasons to reject. If I don't give many possible reasons to reject then I should increase the pool of people to date. In theory, anyway.

Thanks. I've done it before and you are correct, there are some real assholes out there. I might get better results if I pony up some cash for a site or service.

Probably. Valid point.

Interesting.

I was thinking along the lines of eharmony where (I think?) everyone pays to play. I understand the ploy you describe exists and I do want to avoid that shit.

Not sure I would ever be masochistic enough to attend one of these meetings.

I bought mine at a discount from Craigslist. Costco has them and so does Best Buy. Probably also Sam's club. I hope you can find more than 2 options.

Getting the wiring for my stove cost more than the stove. Electricians are expensive!

Both Costco and Sam's have online.
