A chlorine/heavy metal filter is a good idea, too.

water purification... I did it myself with iodine in the Himalayas once upon a time...  I remember many others that tasted foul... chlorine based...   are there "nice" tasting ones about now?

I got one for my shower, since i moved out of London the water here smells literally like a swimming pool.

I found out Severn Trent use Chloramine.

I pour my drinking water from the showerhead now, no smell, good activated charcoal filter and only £6 to filter 10K gallons or 1 year, whichever comes first.

The U.S government issued a rare public warning about hacking campaigns targeting energy and industrial firms, the latest evidence that cyber attacks present an increasing threat to the power industry and other public infrastructure.

The hacking described in the government report is unlikely to result in dramatic attacks in the near term

Yep, got us here in NC.

"the flare was the brightest and biggest type of its kind--big enough actually to cause a brief radio blackout on Earth. Coastal communities along the Atlantic Ocean were among those affected."

Yeah, but I'm reassured by the guy in the comments who says not to panic. I mean, after all, he has 58 high-quality* Pokemon videos on his channel. He must be right.

*Full disclosure: I did not watch any and wouldn't know a high-quality from a low-quality Pokemon video.
