We obviously don't have any of those in Poland.

Almost every Western country still has fluoride and chlorine in their water. Just bcause your one has changed its policies doesn't give you the ability to say that the world has moved on.

Yes, the original papers on fluoride was a long time ago, but you're acting like science rests on its laurels. Five minutes on Google Scholar gave me plenty of recent papers on the positive effect of fluoride on teeth. Also plenty of discussion on its potential side effects and safe levels. As far as I can tell (and obviously this isn't my area of expertise), the expert consensus is that the current levels are safe. Who are you to disagree?

The government is exactly the right organisation to be deciding these things. The government passes laws on all sorts of things related to public health. Are you saying that we should stop all regulations on safe levels of lead in water supply, active ingredient consistency in producing medications, and what you're allowed and not allowed to do while driving on the road?

Oh Nate, don't you know Havoc is a tinfoil-hat minarchist?

I like how one forum member used that phrase once and now it's the go to buzzword for anyone who can't be fucked to construct an actual contribution.

You say it like it's a bad thing

That's a little hypocritical coming from you.

Does it settle at the bottom? Is there residue? Because to me that looks like air bubbles rather than pollution. That makes extra sense given you said it varies based on what floor you're on.

I'm away from home right now so I can't really test how exactly it does disperse, though if I can recall correctly it does seem to sink to the bottom. I don't fully remember.

Saw this news article on Twitter, thought this thread might appreciate it: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03...=1458927600299

Hackers infiltrated a water utility’s control system and changed the levels of chemicals being used to treat tap water, we're told.

Why these sorts of critical systems are hooked up directly to the internet I will never understand.

That would be a reason to NOT hook it up directly to the internet.

The problem here is not it being connected to the internet. The problem is it using very, very old software AND being connected to the internet.

It's older than me!

I've been playing MO (on original Xbox) again: a level is related with fluoride.

Wait... you're saying that Lorne Lanning has bought into a ridiculous conspiracy theory? Say it aint so!

Are you... alright?

Why the first Xbox (fuck you, Microsoft and your naming strategy!) version, in particular?

Because the resolution is lower so you can't see the nightmare as well.

I wasn't sober. On the one hand, it's the real version. On the other, the console still works. I can't say that NnT is darker than MO.

The Level is called "Fluoride tanks".

see Lorne knows what's up, you cattle

Havoc: "Hey this barrel looks like it has some forum topics stuck to the bottom of it!"

Oh... no wait. That's just Hobo.
