Same energy.

Yeah that’s what the gov agency said about it around the time of the Flint water crisis. “Allegedly” is the key word here. Thats when I read a whole bunch of research on it. Could have been complete bullshit, who knows.

You think about that and the actions of the USSR gov, depicted in the HBO series Chernobyl, and you have to wonder if the US response would be much different. Three Mile Island would probably like a word.

With the pitcher filters, be sure to change the filter often and scrub the pitcher/tank often. Algae can grow in them, causing all sorts of issues.

This is why Obama didn’t really address the flint Michigan water situation. Once they started testing there, other cities would start. Boom, national crisis. ALLEGEDLY the coating that forms on the inside protects against lead poisoning but, who knows. And if chemistry changes drastically, like Flint’s case, it can remove that naturally occurring coating.

Oh there would be plenty of strokes, I’ll grant you that.

Obligatory linkage

It sounds like there is some other sort of resentment at play here. Is there some other underlying attribute the coworkers who annoy you share? Example: Are they friends outside of work and you are not? Is it a racial or ethnic difference? Look for the reasons why they specifically “set you off” and address those biases. Try to better understand them as people first.

You say they are lazy - is it your job to police them at work? If not, then do your work and get promoted. Then you can actually do something about it. Until then, back off unless they prevent you from doing your job. Maybe when they see you are doing better than they are, maybe they’ll follow your lead.

If you want to be a leader, lead. Be the change you want to see. Take pride in yourself and your work, inspire others.

Anyway, ask yourself those questions and be honest. If you are troubled by the answers, start there.

Hope this helps

Ha I was about to post a similar thing - there are colloquial differences for sure. I’ve heard bell peppers called sweet bell peppers in the Deep South. And in op’s defense, some people say bell peppers are spicy in their opinion. AND there are varieties of jalapeño that can have little to no heat in flavor so, that may not be a measure to go by. But a jalapeño does have a different flavor from a bell pepper, heat notwithstanding.

But like you said, it doesn’t matter. Just eat them because they taste good!

Those are sweet peppers, different from bell peppers.

This is what bell peppers look like.

I’ve grown many a bell pepper, never have I had one that looked like a jalapeño. I think you are mistaken.

I’m truly not trying to be a dick here but, I don’t understand how you can take a song by an extremely talented and highly respected singer and replace him with basically Cookie Monster speaking the lines, and call it legendary.

And I’ll certainly be the first to admit that Lou Gramm/Foreigner are not necessarily my cup of tea. But the dude could sing his ass off.

Please help me here - I want to understand.

Assistant manager at a Burger King. One day, he WILL make manager. You’ll see.

That’s a bit like emptying the sewer into the street

Same. Luckily you can add his name to the block list.

Your friend needs to realize that no matter how much they want employees to work extra hard, they will not do it because they do not have incentive. No matter how hard they work, they will not benefit in the long term like he will.

Bust my ass six days a week to make HIM wealthy? No. And fuck you.

That is the difference.

Man, that’s some shit.

In general, people may lie to their partners but, they are lying to themselves first and foremost.
