A good reverse osmosis system will remove most anything larger than a water molecule... that includes just about any pharmaceutical molecule you'd care to name.
Of course it will. But RO is very expensive and complicated and requires specialised maintenance. It's also not mentioned in TFA (although it could be in the video, i don't know - reading TFA is quite uncool enough on
Recycled (usually called "reclaimed water") water is not the topic [......]
I don't know what you're on, but maybe it's the pharms in recycled water. How is recycled water not the topic? Are you suggesting "Water From Human Waste" isn't recycled?
Fuck you.
Calm down child, you'll have a seizure if you're not careful. TFA doesn't mention reverse osmosis - which is very expensive and slow.
Remember, that delicious tap water was once pooped in by a dinosaur.
Maybe. But dinosaurs didn't take pharmaceutical drugs.
Water's water [......]
That's undisputable. However, it's what's dissolved in it that's the problem. Sewage contains pharmaceuticals and hormones - none of which are removed by the treatment process. Generally, recycled water isn't even tested for them.
There's no T-Mobile in this country.
As i understand it, they shut some servers down because they were worried about overheating.
Also a lot of people aren't interested in hearing the same music throughout their lives like older generations did.
I'm an old(ish) person (56) and i hate old music - i've heard all that old crap far too many times. But i don't live in a city and i don't have internet everywhere and i want mp3s. And i'm quite happy to pay for them - but i won't pay for streaming.
The only Australian mp3 seller (Bigpond Music) has recently stopped operating in favour of a streaming service, which really only leaves Google Play (which is a pain in the arse). Itunes is completely useless if you use Linux, and there's fuck all else as far as i can tell.
Spotify lets you download tracks to your device.
As DRM-free mp3s? Because if not, so what?
It's unbelievable that a data centre can't cope with an extra degree or two. What sort of idiot designs these places? Haven't they heard of tolerances?
One of the worst things about OOP is the stupid analogies used to explain it. If the people you're explaining it to can't understand it in abstract, programming terms then they're not worth wasting your time on because they'll be useless programmers anyway. But, of course, it's probably not the audience that's the problem, but the writer - who's incapable of communicating without resorting to stupid analogies.
The only problem is that they're temporary carbon sinks.
No they're not. You just can't see the wood for the trees.. It's not the tree that is the carbon sink, it's the forest.
They are very inneficient carbon sinks. The problem is that they do eventually die and decompose.
....... and are replaced by new trees. It's not the tree that's the carbon sink, it's the forest.
For the first time in my life, i own a laptop that doesn't have an easily removable battery - a Samsung series 5 ultrabook. Normally i won't buy any device that doesn't have an easily removable battery, but a matt screen is more important and there's not many options when it comes to laptops. It's also the worst laptop i've had (in 20 years of owning them) for battery longevity.
Yeah, mine's lost half its battery life from that. I'm making the effort to run it on the battery as much as i can now. But the problem with doing that is that when you really need to run off battery, the battery's unlikely to be fully charged. That's a serious flaw in laptop battery systems - and one that there's probably no currently forseeable fix for.
