Cesar sang praises to her mouth, which could be interpreted to be about her actual mouth, her oratory skills, or her oral skills. Knowing how Romans loved innuendo, probably both.

OK buddy

Never said it was unsafe, just not recommended. WebMD has links to scientific articles that sorry support that. But you may counter that you don’t trust those sources. I’m not about to play whack a mole. If you want to exclusively drink demineralized water, go ahead, you won’t die for it. But you’ll increase your chances of developing certain diseases. Maybe that’s an acceptable tradeoff for you - I’d certainly think so if you live in Flint.

Normally I would go fetch, but there are so many search results. Just search it yourself and choose a source you cash trust. It’s a very well established topic.

Both. But distilled is at best ion poor. It’s not recommended use either exclusively for your source of water.

A good filter on tap is enough for the vast majority of houses. If that’s not your case, mineral water or regular bottled water (which is just filtered tap water from a reliable source) are your best bet.

And it’s cheaper too! Not common that you choose both healthy and cheap.

Especially shit.

Chiquita Banana says hi.

Crane?

I try to charm the Shakiras.

Windows 2000 workstation if we’re restricting ourselves to the Redmond beast. QNX 6 otherwise.

Okay, that makes sense.

My kid made me proud…again. And I had dinner with a new old friend.

What?

And why’s she calling him master?

Or you could call the Shädowmän.

You keep missing the point. Have it your way. You win. Congrats, go celebrate.

They’re not saying capitalism created slavery. They’re saying that, upon creation of capitalism, the slave trade was its first business.

I don’t know how to break it down further than that.

They’re not saying capitalism created slavery. They’re saying that, upon creation of capitalism, the slave trade was its first business.

Which isn’t correct either, that was mercantilism, a stage before capitalism. But not that different, either.

Alright, I don’t think we’re understanding each other.

Yes, the primary source of hydrogen nowadays is oil, but it doesn’t have to be. We can electrolyze water for that. We can also use modern alternatives to monoculture that do not deplete the soil.

Sulfur can be mined without resorting to the oil chain.

I don’t know why you mentioned ethylene. It is used as a ripening agent, but we can simply wait for fruit to ripen on their own, with the added benefit that they would develop their flavor instead having the bland taste we currently get at the supermarket.

Medication, explosives, detergents, dyes come from the chemical industry, and yes, there’s an important difference.

Solvents and paints are something harder to replace, but there are some plant based alternatives being used in very niche applications.

All of the alternatives are not being used today because it’s more expensive. And they’re more expensive because they don’t have a century of research dedicated to make them cheaper like oil has.

We don’t NEED oil. It’s just more convenient, it allows us not to change the status quo, to not think about different ways we should live. With oil, we can put our head in the sand and pretend we’re not careening to our own demise.

Not because of petrochemicals. Fertilizers, agriculture mechanization, and medicine are the key factors. Plus we could do without all the microplastics and PFAS on my blood.
