It's a misunderstanding of osmosis. It's safe to drink distilled in small amounts, but if you are drinking it to hydrate you can quickly run into the issue where it pulls the salts out of your cells and really mess with muscle and organ function. It takes a fair bit to cause issues, a glass here and there is fine, but you can't drink lots of it the same reason we use saline for IV drips instead of distilled water.

What would that serve to accomplish but make the struggle for both the dealers and the addicts even worse? People need to target the root causes of the addiction. 95% of the time it's homelessness in my experience, but it's always suffering being blanketed by substances at the end of the day.

You don't fix suffering by adding more into the world.

Slingshots are a lot safer to improvise than a firearm. Usually cheaper too. You know, if you have a hard time with the AK search

Yeah, I can second the mites. They aren't always obvious, not every cat has an ear canal you can see them in. Getting some drops with aloe in them went over well for our cat, it helps the itching.

A good solution to this debacle would have been to not vote in the felonious conman who famously, and regularly, bankrupts businesses known to be the most consistent moneymakers man has come up with.

These people are not good at solutions.

Volume will make you more money than margins, Walmart proved that pretty handily. Cheaper groceries means more volume. They were pretty on point with that logic, grocery stores generally want cheaper stock so people buy more.
