@lupyuen No guarantees yet I have found over the years that the support you do get tends to be superior to most paid services.

@Albright Skip to 4:11 if you want to see the part where they discuss how urine causes the pool smell, proper PhD making the claim too who is pretty much an expert on the topic.

@Albright Not off hand, it is a well known fact I've heard repeated from many reliable sources. I've also been around chlorine enough to recognize it is a different smell.

With that said a quick google search produces several good sources confirming what I said.

Here is a good video on it by mark rover where he does the experiment to show that pee causes the smell (keep in mind you can find plenty of other sources if you want something more scholarly):

@swiley Not sure what Trump has to do with anything. But while I wouldnt be singing Trump's praises on foreign policy or anything else for that matter. But he did seem marginally better than democrats, at least he was willing to engage in peace talks at all with some people.

Biden really goes all in at proving himself wrong, almost like it is intentional.

@icedquinn pure chlorine also can kill ya easily enough :) Usually bad smells are an indication of danger

@icedquinn pure chlorine is pretty bad too.. i actually like pool smell though.

Fun fact of the day: The smell at the pool is not the smell of chlorine. It is the smell of the chemicals produced when chlorine reacts with urine. It is the smell of chloromines, which is the result of chlorine interacting with ammonia, which is in large quantities in urine.

My mom: "I love you with all my heart and soul"

Me: No you dont.

Mom: What?

Me: No you dont. I saw you loving my cousin just a few days ago. You only have one heart and one soul mom. So clearly you are dividing it between more than just me.

Mom: ...

Me: in fact you love so many people that soul of yours is spread out pretty thin.

Mom: I hate you

Me: See! I knew it!

@denza252 You think they are trying to be discriminate. Its their job to recruit as many people as possible. As long as you appear to be eligible they will try.

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org Except that isnt the definition being used in "conspiracy theory"

This is the definition for theory being used: "an unproved assumption", that much is clear. Yes there is a version of the word theory that has a different definition, but that is not how it has been used in this phrase.

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org Yes, but the name theory here directly implies a lack of evidence and being speculative. If there was evidence it would be an actual conspiracy.

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org To be clear Conspiracy Theory means believing absurd things with no evidence and going out of your way to manipulate facts to make them seem like evidense but even a small amount of understanding disproves the assertions.

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org True, but COVID conspiracy theories seem to be popular right now
