If i may suggest something.

Elderly people need to make peace with their ageing process (both physical and mental) and a study of philosophy is the only way. This gives you the big picture in the "grand scheme" of things and you realize that everything is just natural and as they should be. Thus one learns to adapt themselves to the situation instead of being miserable over it. Obviously, this is easier said then done and hence the need for life lessons from a teacher via philosophical study. I have found the following books helpful in this regard;

• On Life and Death by Cicero - Contains the essay "On Old Age".
  
  
• Dialogues and Essays by Seneca - Contains the essays "On the Shortness of Life", "On the Happy Life" and "On the Tranquility of the Mind".
  
  
• Meditations by Marcus Aurelius translated by Gregory Hays

I'm pretty sure I remember owning the Thomas and Friends version as a kid. Or at least a similar Thomas and Friends toy.

Edit: It was this.

Well.

2. Just because the smallest virus is 17 nm technically, and the more conventional "smallest" is 50nm, doesn't mean it's realistic to be scared of, especially if you don't live in an area where that virus is found.

3. Even if a filter allows the virus through, it still reduces it. Just because something is smaller then pore size, doesn't mean all of the virus get's through. I bring this up because while it is true the virus may still be present(Say for example you are using a 0.03 micron, and virus is 0.025 micron) doesn't mean you'll get sick. You need to have a specific viral load to be infected. Same thing applies to bacteria. Basically a single virus isn't enough to infect you. Why? Because it usually "dies"(Viruses aren't alive, get's destroyed/inactive etc etc) before it can get anywhere to infect, or before it has a chance to multiply. Which is why you can have sex with someone who has HIV, and not get HIV as long as they are on the newest drugs and are undetectable.

Technically the virus is still there, technically you're still getting some of it in you, but there isn't enough to actually infect you.

Yes it's good to be cautious, but jeez man a filter is cheaper then you thought it was, and way more convenient then even purifying tablets, because 1 takes prep and time to do, containers or bags to clean etc.

Also purifying tablets get rid of bacteria/viruses. Great. How does it handle heavy metals and other shit a filter will handle?

Just saying.

Can confirm. Did a science project in school with different filter mediums and muddy water, and every single one of them made the water perfectly clear. Even a basic aquarium sponge which is visually very porous, still made clear water. I might have even tried a paper towel for one of the filters.

I'm not commenting on this filter's capabilities, advantage of getting rid of dirt quickly and not clogging, etc. It could be a great filter for bacteria and all for all I know. Just saying that a muddy water demonstration can be misleadingly impressive. Like cleaning product demonstrations that clean away years of dirt, but they really just freshly soiled the surface.

Boiling isn't always necessary and a good filter can make any water safe to drink. Lifestraw is a solid example:

Whether you are filling up at a hotel tap, or drinking out of the Amazon River, your LifeStraw will protect you from bacteria, parasites, and microplastics.

Because these zip ties aren't designed to hold humans - zip tie cuffs are.

It's kind of like breaking boards with your hand. It's pretty easy to do with a board designed to be broken. Not so much with a real board. There are tons of videos from people on how to get out of regular zip ties.

Here's a realistic view on real restraints (they're pretty good).

Here you go boss hog: Sketchy Stories: The Sketchbook Art of Kerby Rosanes https://www.amazon.com/dp/1631061755/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xeANDb8R7KGJ3

Not the same sketchbook, but another one by the same artist

:EDIT:: I have that one and a couple of his coloring books. They are all amazing and an incredible value.

Grayl purifiers are the best: $60 and filters out bacteria, Protozoa, and viruses. Went backpacking last week with it and it’s perfect for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C6HAVVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cEzyDbGTB9HBT

Way cool! It's worth mentioning that this isn't flint and is instead ferrocerium. While flint will spark when struck with iron or steel, these brilliant sparks are made from striking ferrocerium which is more commonly used nowadays.

If this looks cool to you, you can purchase these fairly cheap.

For those like me, who came here looking for the warming pan cheese melter thingy
It looks like a raclette warmer:

Super easy to grow at home. Also amazingly cheap on amazon

I typically like to, but in this case:

Or, same exact thing:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MT1NGG2/ref=psdc_3734831_t2_B00R9GUYMW

The price difference is remarkable for the exact same thing.

This version is $46... but I agree with you and won't get it even at that price. Kids like toys for maybe 5 minutes and then remember them two weeks later for another 10 minutes.

I have the panel carry handle that Amazon suggests as an alternative to this Gorilla Gripper. The carry handle works really well and it's only a few bucks.

They are like $27
