Or my party, struggling with unlocked doors.

How can you have a name like that and not have it changed to remove the c and the r? Electra Shock

Like the other person said, a scam, but to give the claim...

Black water or alkaline black water is power-packed with minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.

Sounds like my well water if you boil off some of the water.

Its distinct colour is attained by the elevated alkaline water pH that ranges between eight to nine.

PH doesn't change the color. A thing that changes PH may also change the color but the PH itself is not responsible.

I don’t know what it is about it

It goes low to high in pitch as it speaks which, while normal for some accents/languages, conveys uncertainty and/or a feeling of 'high-strung'-ness, at least to a large portion of english speakers, and especially Americans.

It also put the emphasis in the wrong places.

Correct. If you take a totally clean, disinfected nail, stick it in some lab grade brine until it gets rusty, and then stab yourself with it, there is a 0% chance of getting tetanus.

You could technically have tetanus on something without it being covered in dirt. My point is tetanus bacteria lives in the dirt. But the rust has nothing to do with it other than making the metal more likely to cut or pierce you.

People tend to think the rust is what causes it.

Fun fact: tetanus comes from dirt, not rust. But it has to get into your blood and typically that only happens when you get pierced by a piece of dirty metal, which will typically be rusty if it's in that situation.

That has to be it. They got drawn in by the beautiful shade of blue they make and gave everybody the experience of welding for 12 hours using only safety squints and a t-shirt.

And for everyone that doesn't know, UVC radiation is the bad kind of radiation (ionizing).

So looking at a map.of New Yorks bays and ignoring depth and bridges I'm going to assume this is about 2 miles long or 10,560ft. I have no evidence and just eyeballed it.

Meaning if you can overcome the skin friction it has a hull speed of about 160mph...without planing.

Modern carriers have a hull speed in the neighborhood of 45mph (though officially the top speed is like 35mph) and normally cruise at 25-30mph so the slow pokes can keep up.

Just don't forget to take the battery out so it can be safely disposed of in the ocean.

This article has as much substance to it as a saltine cracker.

What pearl clutching son of a bitch at lemmy.ml decided its users were too fragile to hear the word "bitch"? And here's the real question, can you read ot or does it censor mine? Because if you can read it then what's the point of censoring your own users?

Edit: yeah Kbin lets you say it.
