    Visiting Irvine, CA

    Yeah the restaurants may be nice, but Irvine as a whole is just a manufactured, soulless town. Everything looks exactly the same, and the shopping centers and housing communities all have the same freaking names (Woodbridge, Woodbury, Woodpark, Park West, Westpark, Westridge, etc.)

    talk to me about alkaline water

    Your roommate is lucky she only got taken for $400. I have a relative who, even after I warned him repeatedly not to, bought something called Leveluk water. Cost: ~ $3,500. It looks like a toy, the output tastes like tap water, and he is not any healthier than before he began using it. OP, this...

    Water softener and purifier for my parent's house.

    A softener works by replacing calcium/magnesium/iron (the 'hard' minerals in natural water) with sodium ions. Without a softener, you would get mineral buildup on fixtures, seen as white or gray residue. Blue or green staining is likely due to issues other than hard water (maybe corrosion?) As...

    New DT Song: Sounds Amazing.. like a different band

    Well it's heavy. Sounds like it could have been a track left off of Train of Thought. It's OK I guess, I could really do without Jordan's out-of-place carnival/vaudeville passages though. Also, it sounds similar to On the Backs of Angels in some places (keyboard part after first chorus, start...

    Plumber repaired burst water main; appears he... [updated 6/13: Fixing...]

    yeah, 50 psi should be fine. Are you getting low flow at all taps throughout the house, or just at one or two? Whenever your water main is closed and then reopened, like the plumber had to do for his repair, sediment from the pipes can get blown out and clog your faucet aerators.

    Is it difficult to install a water softener?

    It's really not too hard to sweat (i.e. weld) copper fittings, look up some youtube videos. You'll have to purchase a torch, sandpaper, flux, solder, and whatever fittings you decide to use.

    Is it difficult to install a water softener?

    I can tell you from personal experience with softeners like the one you bought (single-vessel, brands like Watts, GE, Kenmore) -- they are mostly junk. The price you paid - it's that inexpensive for a reason. Problems I've seen with those: poor electronics, not customizable, no battery backup...

    commercials that make u hit mute/change channel

    For some reason, I cannot stand those Carmax ads where some douchebag is wondering how to go about selling his car, then that white 'start' line appears and he follows it to Carmax. That annoying piano music doesn't help matters.
