Haha! Yes.
God bless FR. Pelle! 🙏🏼
One of the interesting things about water running through 'undisturbed' lead pipe is that mineral deposits build up on the inside of the pipe, which means not as much lead will leach through into the water. Hot water will allow more lead leaching and acidic water certainly creates problems with the lead too.
The problem with lead in Flint Michigan had more to do with the water source. As I understand it, the city changed where their water supply came from and didn't fully test it first.
We bought the house in ‘89 but I don’t know when the electrical was redone. We didn’t do it so it was prior to ‘89.
I read that most of the lead water pipes only leached lead when hot water ran through them, but I could be misinformed. I got under the house when we bought it and replaced leaky drainpipes, but they are plastic. The water lines looked galvanized to me, but I have no idea how they were connected.
IMO, it pays to be really careful when you live in a 1950’s house.
RE: Drinking water systems and Lead
Section 1417 of the Safe Drinking Water Act
The Act prohibits the “use of any pipe, any pipe or plumbing fitting or fixture, any solder, or any flux, after June 1986, in the installation or repair of (i) any public water system; or (ii) any plumbing in a residential or non-residential facility providing water for human consumption, that is not lead free.”

Of note: “plumbum” is Latin for “Lead” (hence Pb on the periodical Table) and is the root of the word “Plumbing” in english
I just mentioned that to Meyer about hot water and lead in pipes. Most of the problem in ghetto housing was paint chips. Lead poisoning really works on the brain.
Flint was sending lead contaminated water out to everybody.
We have one of the best wells ever! It’s 300 feet deep and goes through rock. The person that tested it said that it was the best water she had ever tested. Still, it has to go from the well to the house. It’s the house end I worry about.
We have had it worked on a few times (pump replacement, tank replacement, etc) and the well person never said anything about the pipes being old or dangerous. He did always put a quart of bleach in the well when he was finished though for microbes.
The PUR filter filters lead and other heavy metals.
A charm from a bracelet that had been mostly made of lead was accidently swallowed by a child and the child died before the Drs. figured out why the child got progressively sicker. The only part of that charm that wasn't lead was the paint coating. By the way, it was made in China.
Lead was banned in France as far back as 1840. Australia banned it's use in around 1880. The US. didn't ban it's use until 1978 because the Paint manufacturer's had a good lobby effort. Many old paint contractor's had serious health problems.
I knew about the lead in gasoline but not the rest until it was in paint and water.
I do know that they either did, or they tried, to remove lead fishing sinkers and lead bullets and shotgun pellets. I don’t know how that turned out.
China will always do the cheapest. They don’t care about safe. China junk scares me but it seems like we don’t make anything anymore. My dog bowls are all stainless.
I appreciate your point, Kalam.
But several of your examples are of people doing weird things like chewing on electrical wires. Even pure water can kill you if you drink too much of it.
Lead saved my reproductive organs during cobalt radiation. Lead is still widely used for car batteries, pigments, ammunition, cable sheathing, weights for lifting, weight belts for diving, lead crystal glass, radiation protection and in some solders. It is often used to store corrosive liquids. It can be used for good or bad, like anything.
The point of the meme was that the Derps have tried to outlaw things that protect us from their harmful plans. I hope that helps.
 Disney delayed the release of Sound of Freedom for 5 years, 'cause they're all about children, don'cha know...
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled DOJ Suddenly Removes Language from Website on Child Sex Trafficking, Red Badger wrote: From Wiki:
Distribution
The film was completed in 2018 and a distribution deal was made with 20th Century Fox. However, that studio was purchased by the Walt Disney Company, which shelved the film. The filmmakers reportedly spent years trying to get the distribution rights back from Disney and take it to theaters.[14]Â
Not sure this particular film of Biden has surfaced.
No wonder he went straight to his quarters upon arrival on Tuesday in Britain, and skipped the opening evening dinner. Blinken was sent instead.
This video with the king as caretaker, follows on Wednesday.
Kash Patel says he worked with Sound of Freedom’s Tim Ballard at the Trump White House and reduced human and sex trafficking border crossings by up to 50%

Mel Gibson’s 2006 film “Apocalypto” is about a class of ruling elite who kidnap and traffic human beings for ritual sacrifice until Christians put a stop to it.
I wonder if Mel was trying to tell us something…
