Are restaurants not forced to put the amount of fluid they're serving on the menu where you live?

I have lost all trust in the tap water after finding out that apparently most of the country is on some Flint level lead pipes just waiting to become a disaster and also that the tap water can be lit on fire where fracking occurs. Say what you will but water shouldn't be flammable. e: also if you live anywhere near industry / coal / similar then that poo poo is probably seeping into the ground water

some places can have their tap sold as bottled water -- in the extreme, one of those raw water companies was just selling some municipalities tap water since it was just untreated spring water that was perfectly fine other places have water you're surprised is safe to drink the water i drank as a kid was pumped from the village well, which was re-located to across the street from me when i was in 7th grade or so the water i drink now sometimes comes from a nearby reservoir and it smells like i'm showering in old leaves sometimes

i don't seem to be able to find a picture of it, or if i even took one, but I know i saw a notice by a stream in the santa cruz mountains once that the water was contaminated with lead or something else and you should avoid drinking it and other stuff

The water smelled metallic and it had little black flaky flecks in it. If I drank more than a little bit at a time I'd barf and get a headache. Farm runoff had something to do with it, supposedly. Now I live in a place that has decent municipal water (it is one of those places where they sell water "from municipal sources" in gallon jugs at the grocery store), but I still filter my tap water probably because I've been conditioned to associate tap water with puking.

I drank a lot of sulfurous water laced with flecks of rusted metal as a kid due to my best friends living on a Canadian reservation, back before bottled water was a thing. I wouldn't recommend drinking it, I'm nowhere close to being a normal person.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti2PnI5xh28 Amazon plans to introduce new packaging machines at its warehouses that could eliminate 1,300 jobs nationwide, according to a new report from Reuters. Coincidentally or not, Amazon also announced this morning that it was launching a new program to encourage some existing Amazon warehouse employees to quit and start their own businesses delivering Amazon goods. Amazon has also announced that it would launch a new program to encourage existing warehouse employees to quit and start their own businesses delivering packages for Amazon. The initiative, an expansion of what it calls the Delivery Service Partner program, will offer existing employees the equivalent of three months of their gross salary and up to $10,000 for company costs to create what Amazon calls a “startup” that delivers packages.

Ya'll should try Phoenix, Arizona tap water. It's like drinking pool water, tastes awful and is sourced from the most bargain basement contractor pipes. And half of it goes to insane white people who want to have a lush green lawn in 120 degree heat.

It was some of the worst water I've had the misfortune to drink. (Which isn't saying much, Flint et. al.) Compare that to UV purified stream water in Kentucky. That was the best water I've ever had.

I lived in western Queensland where the town water came from artesian bores. It was slippery as hell and had a bit of a sulphuric scent to it but was perfectly drinkable. We did have rainwater tanks for drinking water though. The artesian water was for everything else. On the same topic, I started (but never finished) reading a book by a previous governor of Tokyo where in the first chapter he jerked himself senseless about how awesome and state-of-the-art the Japanese municipal water system is and how OMG you can drink it straight from the tap, a feat which is possible overseas in only <six places, one of which was Sydney>. I wanted to write and correct him but

The actual groundwater in pure, unfucked desert areas is fine, it's the urban decay, runoff from the Motorola plant and algae blooms in tepid reservoirs that make it godawful.
