Environmentally Conscious Man Gives Up Drinking Water to Counteract His Rampant AI Usage

We NYers are famously snobbish about how good our tap #water is (among other things). Turns out, we're right!
Not mentioned, that water system was created by the VERY corrupt #TammanyHall political machine over a century ago.

#Humans in #Andes Appear to Have Evolved Strange #Genetic Ability
For thousands of years, humans living high in the Argentinian Andes have relied on #drinkingwater that would make most people deathly ill, naturally occurring #arsenic in volcanic bedrock leaches into the groundwater, contaminating water with levels of toxic metalloid that would pose serious health risks.
But for one group in north #Argentina #naturalselection may have provided an unusual genetic advantage.

How Trump Admin Ended Independent #Science at #EPA
Agency’s prestigious research office spent decades doing scientific work insulated from politics. It studied #fertility, #asthma, #wildfires, #drinkingwater, #climatechange and other #health threats.
In just one year, it has been almost completely dismantled. Over 1,500 biologists, chemists and experts at EPAs Office of Research and Development have been laid off, reassigned or pressured to retire.

#Fluoride in #US #drinkingwater does not reduce #IQ, a new study finds
The results counter claims used to stop adding the mineral to public #water systems. The new analysis of cognitive outcomes tracked over decades finds no evidence that water fluoridation is associated with lower adolescent IQ or diminished mental abilities later in life.

The claim came as #Iran fired on targets across the region, setting Kuwait’s Mina al-Ahmadi #oil refinery one fire. The state-run #Kuwait Petroleum Corp said firefighters were working to control several blazes there.
Kuwait also said that an Iranian attack caused “material damage” to a #desalination plant. Such plants are responsible for most of the #DrinkingWater for Gulf states, & they have become a major target in the #war.

If you have not yet: Build up a #rollingStockpile of non-perishable foods for at least 3-6 weeks. Have #drinkingWater stored for short-term needs and gravitational #waterFilter for prolonged #waterShortage.
Don't forget necessary meds and other consumables you need.

While attacks on #electricity could hurt #Iran, they could be catastrophic for its Gulf neighbors, which consume around 5 times as much #power per capita.
Electricity makes their gleaming desert cities habitable, in part by powering the #desalination plants that produce 100% of the #water consumed in #Bahrain & #Qatar. Such plants use seawater to meet more than 80% of #DrinkingWater needs in the #UAE, & 50% of the water supply in #SaudiArabia.

>2,000 people have been #killed in the #war the #US & #Israel launched on Feb 28, which has upended #markets, driven up #fuel costs, accelerated global #inflation fears & convulsed the Western defense #alliance.
However, the threat of strikes on Gulf #electricity grids raised fears of mass disruption to #desalination for #DrinkingWater, & further rattled #oil #markets.
