It's typically both. So little chlorine you won't notice unless you have a particular condition like op or you're doing something weird like growing algae. You can also just leave a glass of water out for a while and the chlorine will evaporate out of it.

Calling yourself Americans, after the entire dual continent

This is one (small) reason why many USAians will tell you their state if you ask where they're from.

Does up=off for British light switches? That's unhinged

Also, never gonna apologize for omitting pointless, silent letters from words. If the English wanted to maintain control of their language, they shouldn't have colonized half the world.

Yeah. No.

As much as science knows anything, it knows that having too much body fat is bad for your health. Even the article you just linked states weight loss as its goal.

BMI is a crappy measure of body fat, fair; bodybuilders and athletes often have very high BMIs while having very little fat, but it's not "arbitrary" either. Doesn't matter much, since we have tools to measure body fat percentage directly. No need to use BMI at all.

Also note that article says to eat less "processed" food, but doesn't explain what that actually means. Is bread processed? How about a salad? How much dressing do I have to add to lettuce before it counts as "processed"? No answers here.

There's something to be said for the caloric availability of any given food, but it's pretty silly to say that you shouldn't consider them at all. People who are trying to lose weight need some measure of how much they're eating so they can be sure they're eating less. Until we have a better one, calories aren't going anywhere.

As for exercise, it is definitely important, but it simply isn't realistic to out-train a bad diet. It's not at all reasonable to say that exercise is more important for weight loss, and anyone who's actually lost a ton of weight will tell you as much.

An obesity crisis will do that

Southerner here, no cafe or coffee shop would think twice about a black coffee, or cream only with no sugar.

Diners generally only pour the coffee, you fix it up however you want.

Individuals may give you grief of they're making you coffee in their home, but that's particular to them.

You're right about NY, though. Very different vibe.

Debian and learn to use the nix package manager for your bleeding edge stuff

Just keep him away from the horsey sauce

Yeah, it's a pretty deep pit of depression. I suspect most people who consider themselves blackpilled are clinically depressed. Not at all useful. But then again, neither is being judgmental of them.

She clearly and concisely responded the questions she was obviously going to be asked. You may disagree with the answers, or you may just not like politicians, but she was obviously prepared and professional.

Donald rambled, lied, and went off topic constantly. He spent more time talking about what Kamala said than his own policy. When he was pressed on policy he had unclear answers or dodged entirely (e.g. "concepts of a plan").

He came across as unhinged, bordering on detached from reality, and he seemingly doesn't have any plan or vision for the country, except that it definitely isn't project 2025 (except it probably is). He was undeniably more interesting to watch, but not in a good way. Based purely on the debate from last night it's not clear if he's fit to lead a book club, let alone a nuclear superpower.

If you're a racist it's occasionally useful to throw another, more obvious racist under the bus to build up your own cover.

Fuck both these people.

Hey now, let's be fair!

It's entirely possible he rigorously prepared and that was genuinely the best he could do.

If they didn't want her to voice her opinion they shouldn't have spent a week making fake ai images of her endorsing Trump. They forced her hand; she could either allow her likeness to be appropriated for a political cause she doesn't agree with, or make her true opinion known.

In fairness neither kid rock nor ted Nugent are relevant enough to convince any significant number of people to vote.

I'd guess a few. Swift's background in country means she's got a big fanbase in GA and NC. Even bigger than the other states, I mean.

It was only a matter of time until Donald incurred the wrath of TayTay

Jesus Christ, this feels like it crossed a line even for him

Or knowingly lying to try and make Trump look like less of a loser, which I realized while writing this sentence means they're definitely still brain-dead.

Who are we kidding, they probably didn't even watch it.

So... Still unacceptably low. Got it.

The left is criticizing him but his base doesn't care.

The right is falling in line, as they tend to. In fairness, it's waaaay too late for them to do anything about it now.
