I can’t, I’ve heard it in passing, so very well might’ve just been some doomer bullshit or sensationalizing the facts. It seems that it’d be unnecessary for them to use lead at all in the creation of a drinking implement, but I’m no material scientist. I guess I’ll have to look into it more.

It seems to be about the lead welding they use to bind the parts together. So as long as it’s a single piece of metal with no joints, I guess it’d be fine. I just want a water carrier, doesn’t need to keep things hot or cold. I’m becoming jaded with hearing about how all my very basic household items are actually killing me.
ruckblack@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which TV series intros do you not skip by choice?1·2 years agoBoooo. Getting to listen to the theme is a big part of the show for me lol. I sacrificed a lot of quality just to have the theme. Pretty sure the version on my Plex is only 480p.
Glass breaks, metal has the aforementioned lead problems. I shall create a water pouch from the bladder of a steer.
Gonna start only drinking from my hands
They’ve been BPA free since 2008… So… Plus I’ve heard they’re finding lead leaching into water from vacuum sealed metal bottles. Can’t win.
I still prefer nalgene bottles. They’re cheap, indestructible, dishwasher safe, and aren’t a pound of loud metal to carry around when empty.

ruckblack@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do posts frequently get removed on Lemmy when Reddit would not remove them?4·2 years agoLol yup. It’s real sketch over there.
Absolute garbage
This has been my daily driver for a while now. I have a Mighty, it rarely gets touched unless I have company.
I mean a long time ago, like 15 years ago, before I really found reddit, I went on there pretty often.
I mean, that’s great, I hate scripting in powershell too though lol.
I’ve always been particularly revolted by powershell syntax and utilities
It’s become really sleek looking too. When I first started using it the UI looked kinda clunky.
I like yakuake, I’m spoiled by the drop-down terminal at this point
ruckblack@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•working at a hospital: should I remain in the room watching a patient until he takes a certain medication?6·2 years agoIt is literally their job to ensure the patient has taken the medication prescribed to them as directed by the doctor. It’s a controlled environment. It’s a hospital.
I’d honestly love a glass bottle if it doesn’t break. The only downsides are weight and fragility. To be fair I’ve never tried. But I’ve smacked my water bottles against doorframes while in my backpack, dropped them on rocks while hiking, etc. It’s gonna get knocked around. I’d be concerned about getting soaked with water and shards of glass everywhere.
