If you want something done, do it yourself!

and to think, prior to this the only way of getting water in your house was to ask a pizza place to deliver it

i know thats how "waistcoat" was pronounced back in the day but i didnt know anyone spelled it like that, is that a regional thing?

partly, but it's also almost-correct internationally rather than using the Euro Waistcoat or the US Vest.

its cool to see amazon providing a service that could be useful during an emergency. i mean what would you do if a hurricane knocked out your towns water infrastructure, flooding contaminated the water supply, or if your tap water just kind of tastes funny

yep in such an event the local amazon warehouse is definitely going to have power and a large enough stock of water bottles for everyone, and the cellular data network will absolutely still be online so they can direct all of the private couriers who will surely be lining up to deliver the water to each residence individually along the wholly passable roads. this is a good use of labor and resources during an emergency

amazon. bespoke emergency relief. the natural disaster is personal again.

yeah you're right, the idea that service could be useful for any important purpose is absurd isn't it. seems like the only emergency it'd be useful for is if your tap water tastes kinda funny.

i think you mean if your tap water tastes kinda funny *and* your out of beer

running out of beer in my house is an emergency roughly equivalent to a category four hurricane

posit: amazon prime booze delivery would save more lives by preventing drunk beer runs than it would lose by enabling alcohol abuse and would therefore be a net positive for society

I got to see a presentation from the SF water authority last week where they were talking about how they monitor the delivery system. the reservoir is so clean that they don't need to filter it. and now they have monitoring at all the major junctions and pumping stations for things like ph and chlorine content and they make that data available to all other municipal water systems they bulk supply to so a city's water department can decide to shut off their feed and know exactly when to do it if things are going out of spec and let that water pass along to whatever stupid factor or farm wants to use it

i think it was san francisco or san diego or some other california fuckers that got all mad when they started taking water from a different place in the reservoir in order to preserve the habitat of some kind of fish. anyways enough people complained so they went back to taking the water that the fish liked, rip fish i guess.
