Today i learned that brown water is usually not a cause for panic after a main waterline that breaks is fixed.

There was an alert this morning about a mainwater leak that required the water to be shut off for several hours (again, 2nd time in 2 months), which happened after I showered but just before I was about to brush my teeth (which i ended up doing at work using a cup of water as a sink lol). When I got back home i checked to see if the water was cut back on and it was. I checked all the faucets and there was sputtering (which he told me was normal, from water pressure building back up) but for the most part normalcy. Except my kitchen sink, which sputtered far more than the others and also had brown water come out. This hasnt happened before and i was a little disgusted since brown water just looks gross and unsnitary coming from a sink and I asked him if I should just let the sinks run or call maintinence.

I texted my stepdad who has decades of construction experience to ask about brown water coming from my faucet. Rest assured, he told me it was likely just dirt and other sediment from pipes, and apartment complex manitence is a bit notorious for something about flushing them out, or something lol. He also said it could be a filter thing and to just let the water run for at least 3 minutes until it clears.

Just to make even more sure, I checked online to learn more about what exactly is the discoloration made from and even how water systems work. Turns out brown water contamination is common in the U$ and the color comes mainly from iron oxide, or rust, and dirt that collects at the bottom of pipes (if water color is more black though, thats usually magnesium, which is toxic to be exposed to overtime). Its also common to see brown water after regular maintience on water infrastructure or after main leaks and breaks after fixed. Flushing pipes for several minutes is recommended to clear out the sediment until the water quality returns to normal.

His advice and the online sources I looked at (which I'll link below) assured me that brown water is not a cause for panic after maintinence on pipes and even the material that discolors the water isnt particularly toxic like I assumed.

As one of the articles said, brown water is more of a nuissance when its temporary, and clear water is something we take for granted. I'm glad i was informed about this.

One of my favorite genres of post is one man being like "the female orgasm doesn't exist. I would know, I've had sex with a number of women and they are BIOLOGICALLY INCAPABLE of achieving orgasm" and then a bunch of other guys show up to roast him

August 22/23, 2024 - Protesters ripped down police barricades and the gates of Parliament in Jakarta, forcing the Indonesian government to postpone the ratification of an election law that would strengthen the political influence of President Joko Widodo and his family. Demonstrations against the president's nepotism have been met by heavy police repression and violence, but continued into the night as militant protesters sang "Buruh Tani" - a working class anthem of solidarity and resistance against oppression.

@ USAmericans that are following me, if you (like me) get anxious you'll somehow have issues with a mail-in or drop-off ballot: I forgot that in a lot of places (here's a site to check!) early in-person voting is an option, so I figured maybe you did too!

Lines are MUCH shorter than election day,

which means it's quick and you have more time to look things up at the voting booth if necessary,

and you have a LOT more ability to find a time that works for you than if you just vote on Nov. 5th (which I would be have been almost completely unable to go out and vote on).

Early voting y'all it kicks ass. A quick google of "early voting (my city/county" immediately brought up the exact address, days and hours of where it was available. Will definitely patronize the fine folks at my local polling center again in four years assuming that. Things go well. And we still have a democracy in four years. OTL

something about "the picket line against multi-billion dollar corporations refusing to pay all the people who make them money is ending early today because once again the earth is too hot for us to safely be outside (thanks in part to the private jets those same corporations use to go on their million dollar vacations)" makes me want to personally chew david zaslav's face off, actually
