Veep, In the Loop and The Thick of It come immediately to mind. I don't have any non Ianucci examples.

He has a hydroponic set up. The way that typically works is to start with distilled water and add nutes to that. If the pH is off you can have all the nutrients in there you want but the plant can't take them in. By adjusting pH and measuring dissolved particles the grower can target certain nutrients for uptake at specific parts of the growing process and measure their uptake. Of course he could do all of this with tap water but it's way easier to start with a blank slate and that is how most of the guides are written.

If you mean a filter pitcher then no. If you mean a bleach jug with that you dumped out and got pretty empty then yes. I haven't seen a passive filter for microorganisms at a regular store. They usually require some force like a hand pump for the portable ceramic filters or your lungs for the straw kind. Passive filters that I have seen and shopped for will get out some minerals/metals, chorine, plastic bits but not bacteria.

Wash your hands after handling that dirty water and more importantly try not to inhale it. No smoking if you're spritzing the plants. Inhaling appliance condensate is a fast track to legionnaire's disease.

More likely to make fishing weights I would think. That concern is why I don't have any old cast iron.

"some say this house is haunted. I've lived here 450 years and have never seen a ghost."

I guess after a few hundred years it's time to move on from cast iron

The 5 ply stuff is really good. The ones I have are just as heavy as the cast iron but they can go in the dishwasher so that makes them my favorite. They cost way more than cast iron though

Yeah, Mitch Hedberg was great. Steven Wright as well for those short, odd, clever jokes.

Thanks!

I like the kind that is either non stop puns or long weird/funny stories that have lots of setup for relatively fewer, but larger, payoffs.

Like at the wrong part of the joke? Too loud? Too long? Ho
