Ask me about Proposition 305


Do you like muskets?

A bit of reading suggests that if they used the proper chemicals, that might be correct. If the pH was too far out of whack or if they used certain solutions, things could be worse. But I'm still confused about why they'd add hydrogen peroxide in the first place. It doesn't work on its own. You mix it with the water (in HIGH concentration) then zap it with UV to sterilize. But if there's already chlorine in the water, then it makes even less sense.

They're blaming an outside contractor for just dumping 80 liters of hydrogen peroxide into each the pools.

Just dump ammonia in the pool, it'll work with the chlorine already in the pool and kill anything in and near the pool, guaranteed.

A friend of mine said he's waiting for the week after the olympics when they drain the pools and some prisoners are forced to clean them with ammonia

Irish IOC member arrested for trying to pass tickets to scalpers

Ryan Lochte ordered to stay in Brazil (after he's already left) because a judge didn't like his story of being robbed at gunpoint

There might be some inconsistencies about the dude's story but from what we've seen there's exactly zero reason to no believe he got robbed at gunpoint in the robbed-at-gunpoint capital of the world. And getting a gun put to your head probably makes you a little bit scarce on details other than "there's a gun to my head"

I've been to Brazil, and I've been to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and I always felt safer in the latter. Sorry judge, your country's a loving shithole.

So according to the AP, Lochte's robbery story was made up after losing a fight.

He made it up, apparently they got into a fight with the store owner because the Olympian broke the door, and the store owner wanted them to pay for it.
