Pollutants don't get in because water pipes are pressurized


Absolutely not true. Pollutants don’t get into the lines because there are decades of mineral deposits built up inside these pipes.


isn't this only true if they are always pressurized?


They are always pressurised during normal use. When they are depressurised because of a water main break or for maintenance (and they try to do this as little as possible), orders are given to flush the lines before drinking any of the water.


I don't understand how you can have such casual ignorance about climate change in 2025?


They are a bad faith poster.


Avoid using agents that can just blow through money (cline, roocode, claudecode with API key, etc).

Instead you can get comfortable prompting and managing context with aider.

Or you can use claude code with a pro subscription for a fair amount of usage.

I agree that seeing the tools just waste several dollars to just make a mess you need to discard is frustrating.
