Madblood@lemmy.worldtoHome Improvement@lemmy.world•Do you use an additional filter for your tap water? Which one?
1·2 years agoReverse osmosis system under the sink. I’ve got a whoe house water softener, too, but it’s almost 30 years old and needs replaced. I’m on well water, and while it’s safe to drink, it has high manganese and calcium content. The calcium will gunk up my electric kettle pretty quickly, but as long as I fill it from the filter faucet it stays pristine.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it okay to continue to work for a (non-defense) federal government agency under an administration hostile to my own moral and ethical beliefs?
12·2 years agoThe answers to both of your questions are probably yes it’s okay, and yes you should probably be looking for another job.
Are you morally/ethically okay with your agency’s mission? With your role in it? If you are, then the new administration’s policies may not be reason enough to leave. You pretty much have to work somewhere. If the answer is no, you probably would have already been looking for another job.
Should you be looking for another job? Probably, depending on what your agency is and it’s mission. If TFG and Project2025 have their way, many federal government agencies will be defunded and/or privatized, and pretty much toothless when it comes to enforcement. We already saw what happened to the EPA under the first Trump administration. If yours is in danger of that you should be preparing a backup plan. I wouldn’t want to give up a government job, but I would want to be ready if I got RIF’d, or if I got fed up with the bullshit.
