    He’s probably a store detective because he failed the pre-employment psychological screening of police applicants

    Be very careful. Calcium is vital for correct heart function, along with other minerals, we get it from our water supply. Softened water leaves 70 ppm calcium in the water, along with the other minerals, while distillation remove it all. This has the additional problem that distilled water is "hungry" and hence removes vital minerals from our body.
    The other sludge is most likely from the heating element in the distiller shedding metal oxides.
    Simply boiling drinking water will kill pathogenic bacteria and viruses. This is normally only advised if you visit countries such as India.
    Here in the UK, we occasionally are advised to boil drinking water following a burst water main, where sludge may have entered the pipes, leaving trace after flushing the repair. This will only be for 24 hours in a few streets near to the burst pipe.

    Christina's superintendent had a word with the companies head office and the guy was given his marching orders. Probably better than action that would have done nothing for the customers involved, taken up police time and made a few lawyers rich.

    • The latest hype: The novel coronavirus has infected more than 108,000 globally and killed more than 3,800, -- the majority in mainland China.

    • Sweeping quarantine: Most of northern Italy is under lockdown, affecting nearly 16 million people, amid a growing Europe-wide outbreak.

    • Infections in US rise: There are now more than 550 cases of the novel coronavirus in the US, according to the state and local health agencies, governments and the CDC.

    Sounds reasonable to me as long as they don’t take their temperature rectally

    And btw: on average a rectal temperature reading in 0.5 degrees higher than an oral reading.

  20. It's more like a head cold that hangs around all the time. You don't get the runs with it.
