WHAT A DAMN PAIN

Anybody have any hot tips or should I go ahead and boil up a whole stock-pot full of water? Guess I'll get on that, it takes an hour to get it up to a boil

    Drink beer instead.

    If you have a steri-pen for camping it works great for ecoli!

    You have to fully immerse the whole tip though.

    Boil water notice is officially over! Though you're supposed to let taps run for 2 minutes to flush out the pipes.

    HUZZAH

    It was a good moment to have gratitude for our water. Lots of people wish they could drink something as clean as our water (e coli or not).

    so true

    Microbiology, as in e coli, is science. Knowledge of it is poor in the media and in the public. Maybe an UH group field trip to Bull Run - http://www.portlandoregon.gov/water/article/384640.

    Nothing demonstrates that more than how fast all the bottled water sold out because (I guess) people don't believe that boiling will kill E. Coli? SCIENCE!

    After you boil your water, what's it full of at that point? Dead E Coli! Who wants to drink a bunch of dead bacteria? Gross!

    If I had my druthers, there'd be zero bacteria inside of my body (aka my temple)!!
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    Oh weird, I left this comment and then went to read YT's newest post, where she uses "druthers" in the first paragraph. DRUTHERS IS TRENDING. Tell the teens.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    I read your comment and thought "he must've just read my blog," but it was an amazing coincidence??? DRUTHERS

    People didn't buy bottled water because they didn't understand the science of boiling; they bought water because they are FUCKING LAZY
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    wait, you read my post between your first post at 12:09 and your second post at 12:11????

    SOUNDS FISHY TO ME

    I AM THE FONT FROM WHICH DRUTHERS HAS ISSUED

    (FONT USED CORRECTLY THIS TIME)

    I wrote my post and then literally immediately clicked over to the UrHo front page and started reading your blog post, then switched back over here to register my amazement.

    Also, yesterday I had a dream where a friend of mine (usually not a dream character for me) showed up right at the end of the dream, then I woke up and found out he had just sent me an email.

    ERGO I AM TOTALLY PSYCHIC AND CAN SEE AT LEAST ONE MINUTE INTO THE FUTURE.

    When I was a kid, lots of times I would think to call my mother at work and pick up the phone, but there wouldn't be a dial tone, and I'd say "Hello?" and she would already be on the line because she had just called me and I picked up right before it rang.

    that happened to Katy and me once over summer break in between junior/senior years of college. I'd been home for months and hadn't spoken to her a single time, then randomly one night I decided to call her, but I dialed and her line was busy, so I hung up and INSTANTLY the phone rang and I picked it up and said ".........hello??" and she said "..........hello?????" because from her end it hadn't even sounded like the phone had rung, and it turned out we'd called each other at the same precise moment after months of not communicating. HOWWWWWWWWWW??????

    we also used to REGULARLY accidentally wear the same outfit

    also one time my brother and I were alone in the house for hours, doing our own things, not talking, and then suddenly we both started loudly singing "jingle bells" at the exact same moment and then we screamed and screamed

    ESP IS REAL
