The colitis wagon train. They marked their route all the way from St Louis.

Mine tripled. It went from 700kb/s to 2.3 mb/s. Still complete garbage.

I just found out that dysentery is, by definition, diarrhea with blood in it. Thanks Google, guess I just have the regular shits

I found most medical problems in that game could be solved by stopping and resting until that person was healed. Increasing rations also helped. Of course the tradeoff is wasted time and resources.

Whenever I hear of something shitty, I think of my brother.
My brother recently got dysentery and kicked the bucket.
That’s why we use a toilet now.

It took dude 4 seconds to type his comment. If he made a 4 page diatribe you’d have a point.

Depends on where the water came from. Many things like heavy metals and harmful chemicals remain.
It would be a good idea to look up the information for yourself since you shouldn't take advice on Reddit. But mostly to know more about the different situations with the water you may come across.

Sometimes, it depends what is contaminating the water. Boiling kills many common bacteria like salmonella and e-coli so water centers will send out boil advisories if they detect those types of contaminations and you will be fine in that case. Sometimes it isn't bacteria themselves that make you sick, but the waste products and those will remain after boiling (especially common if the water was stagnant). Sometimes water is unsafe because of chemical contamination and that is also unaffected by boiling.
Some bacteria and viruses can survive boiling, so it is more of a reduction of risk rather than truly making it safe.

To be fair he is just offering his opinion. Nothing wrong with that. Although it is kinda silly.

Wasn't a lot of that from the bad water in the White House?

Serious question can't you pretty much make water safe to drink by boiling it?
