Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
It sounds like you are close to the source water treatment plant. Try putting water in a pitcher. The chlorine will off gas. If you put it in something with a screw on lid the gas will wind up occupying the container "head space" I used to open my waster bottle and blow the residual chlorine gas out before drinking it.
I’m not sure how close I am to the water filtration place. The rivers are just dirty! You can’t expect good water when you are pumping sewage in the river. Of course it’s filtered but it’s still 💩 in the river. It’s for the sewage trucks that pump out septic tanks. I’m sure the city sewage goes in the river also. I’m not a tree hugger but dang we could do better. I’ll try that with the water. I do that with my plants guess I could taste it. My taste buds are very sensitive. Don’t have the source about taste buds but it’s interesting. Read years ago people had more or less tast buds or higher sensitivity, can’t remember. My daughter and husband think I’m nuts when I say something is bad. My mom is the same. Got sensitive nose also just like my dad & brother🤣 we can detect things others can’t.
