I'm not sure there is actual science behind the recall. But a manufacturer can choose to recall their product at any time for any reason.

RIP Skellar. The place that replaced it just isn't the same.

Yeah that struck me as odd as well.

i pay <800 for a well-kept 1BR with central air and hardwood floors in a desirable neighborhood in the city itself. if you rent from locally owned and operated people, you too can have this. dont use corporate companies or landlords that dont live nearby.

I go to whole foods and use their water station. Fill it up with the high ph water and then at check out pay for reverse osmosis water. 50 cents a gal.

As someone who has moved a lot of pallets through the city, and often strapped on it ridiculous ways… this is too much. That’s seriously too heavy

Massive cynical companies buy empty houses and sit on them for years. $5,000 is more than $2,000. A poorer family could move into a house and turn it into a good home but money talks. Many of these companies are not Pittsburgh based, so they don't give a shit about the day to day lives of the people living here. Profits go up, and more is more.
It goes to highest bidder, and most of the time they do get sold. Because that's just 'the way it is'. It's very sad.
There should be laws against this stuff. Because at the end of the day, it's just hoarding. When people do it, we send interventions and specialists. When companies do it, we send awards and more money.
Lunatic stuff.

Who knows how credible this is. And again not the basis for my decision to switch to bulk. Just has been hard to find gallons of distilled in stores and I think some spring water just tastes better IMO.

Up in Maine, since Covid happened, it is common for places to get 100+ applications for places. People will also offer to pay more for rent to get places. Pittsburgh is bad, but thankfully it’s not close to this level yet.

haha I was gonna say the exact same thing but thought I'd come across as a dick. reminds me of the memes from a few years ago "I just came out of a coma, I can't wait to go to the zoo and see my favorite gorilla Harambe!"
...son we've got bad news

Steve and Danny at Sinners and Saints do killer work. They're super friendly and decently priced, too!

I'm not opposed to some good ole fashioned hose water every now and again. And I have a water purifier in the fridge. I just prefer the taste of spring water and buying in bulk is cheapest.

Thanks to AI programs that set prices, inflation, and straight-up greed … “rent is too damn high!”
Better get a roommate to split it with you or bite the bullet

We have a big pur water filter that we keep in the fridge, only because one of our old apartments had bad pipes, otherwise we would drink straight from the tap

you're committing theft
alkaline water is a fad with zero evidence that it does anything different than regular tap water. So even at 50 cents a gallon you're wasting money.
