I'm betting hard that microplastics are actually good for us

Isn't she the one who wrote homophobic stuff on her blog and then tried to pretend she didn't like we're all stupid?

This is someone finding novel ways to scold vague unnamed people to impress their followers, I think. What is that, threads?

That's dumb. They're birds.

This is an acceptable thing to believe if you're a teenager or younger. Past that it's just embarrassing.

You probably could, but you'd have the taste of citric acid (which is not awful) and baking soda in the water. The Spärkel has the water that activates the reaction in a separate chamber so they don't wind up in your drink. You need to change that water every four or five times you use it.

I use a "Spärkel" carbonator. Instead of CO2 canisters, it uses packets of citric acid and baking soda to generate CO2 and uses a compressor to infuse the liquid.

Pros:

  • You can either use their pre-measured packets if that's convenient for you, or do what I do and just buy a bulk amount of both the citric acid and baking soda.
  • You can carbonate pretty much any liquid. Water, wine, flat soda, mixed drinks, you name it. The sodastream will explode and cause a huge mess if you try to carbonate anything besides water.
  • They don't appear to be Israeli.

Cons:

  • Because it uses a compressor, it needs to be plugged in to operate. It's pretty loud too!
  • It takes longer than a sodastream. While a sodastream is almost instant, this will take 1-3 minutes depending on the level of carbonation you desire.

I don't think we disagree about that at all. It's just a weird point to be making. I haven't seen anybody try to say that what he was doing in his capacity as CEO was illegal.
