if you had choice to change the world (Page 2) briansmythe: Every new house or retrofit old ones should have rainwater tanks, U can use the water for everything , from flushing the toilets to hot water to drinking, I put one in all u need is a pump to run it and Ive got a valve to stop the main water supply , Its never gone anywhere close to half full, I reckon there great, If there not enough land in new dewliings just bury it in the ground simple  briansmythe:  well that's the ting there has got to be pleanty of rain about , oh well back to the pipelines lol  davidk14: . In the desert, where I live, many businesses and homes leak when it rains. It rains so seldom that fixing the holes in not cost effective. Really. I work at one of those businesses and it's "oh well, get a bucket" and it's absolutely normal and not an issue. Really. This is just FYI moment. briansmythe: really it must be dry over there where u live , Same as 90 % of here that's why everyone lives near the coast, Western Australia was only opened up during the gold rush, When some one built a Pipeline lol , still works tho  chronology: Yes brian but you are not telling David what that water tastes like out of the pipeline. It definitely does not taste like Arkansas Mountain Valley Spring water. briansmythe: Donno never been there, But Ive met people from there they never complained, South Australia has got horrid water, Even the beer is horrible cos they use the water to brew the beer , And its got noting to with pipelines they rule, are you trying to tell me that water from one of 12 nuclear powered desalination plants loaded on a 2 mile train and dragged across the Mahojie desert by a nuclear powered train is gonna taste better than a Pipeline Now chrono where did this magical number come from lol chronology: Yes tankerd water does taste better but it is only for water processing usually. Water from nuclear plants is the purest water on earth. Coal or oil powered stations is probably just as good if you can forget about the sulphur clouds hanging over the power stations. briansmythe: But all water comes through pipes from the plant to whereever Granter ill give you that if u seen the slag that attaches to the side of the pies makes u think, I worked as a plumber for years and yuck but if it's a constant flow no prob , I will stick to my rain water lucky there is clean air here tho , lol briansmythe: What about recycled sewer water I hear there got it sussed over there lol (Edited by briansmythe) davidk14: . The toilet water or sewer water as come call it here is recycled and used as non-potable water for landscaping. In San Francisco, Golden Gate Park has used recycled water for decades. . . briansmythe: Yeah that's a good idear, there come a long way with filtration, Ive seen ones where its drinkable but I cant remember where it was, Not my cup of tea tho lol, chronology: London uses recycled sewer water it is causing problems for many Londoners. Seems women using the pill flush a lot of hormones into the sewer, this hormone does not break down and is drunk by men with the recycled sewage water. This has effected some men sexually. I thought this was an urban myth, but not so it seems. So David I know you love the environment and want to ban plastic, but hey the Arkansas mineral water looks tasty after hearing about all the recycled sewage. And don't forget guy's the ultimate water story the ' Fountain of Youth ' in Florida. One swim in the water and you look years younger. Some folks insist there is such a pool hidden away down there in Florida.  Wonderbunny: I'm with fruitbat on abolishing money, but wouldn't return to bartering as that in itself is a form of profiteering. Instead we would all work together to get stuff where it's needed. Good stuff. Built to last stuff, that isn't designed to be thrown away so another can be sold.The necessities of life would be provided free. Luxuries would be right out. The planet can't afford them.  (Post deleted by staff ) (Post deleted by staff ) (Post deleted by staff ) davidk14: . Attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii December 7th, 1941...75 years ago today. "...What happened on December 7, 1941, if it didn’t kill us, changed us forever. President Roosevelt was right to call it “a date that will live in infamy.” But for my fellow survivors and me, it also is alive in memory, like shrapnel left embedded in our brains because the surgeon thought it too dangerous to operate. These memories lie within me, forever still and silent, like the men entombed in the Arizona" Excerpted from "All the Gallant Men: An American Sailor’s Firsthand Account of Pearl Harbor" by Donald Stratton with Ken Gire. (William Morrow, November 22, 2016). Donald Stratton was a seaman first-class aboard the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941. After a year-long recovery from wounds suffered in the attack on Pearl Harbor, he reenlisted and served on the destroyer USS Stack during the Okinawa invasion and other battles. Hero's all. . briansmythe: Well put if this way if America hadn't of entered the war , Australia would be speaking Japenese General Mc Carther when he lost Singapore vowed to return and he did, He was one of the best Generals ever , But there still people around who want make out America are always the bullies lol (Post deleted by staff ) | Off Topic Chat Room 2 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
