@syllopsium@peoplemaking.games @Almandine@tech.lgbt I have to confess every time people talk about of water shortages in the UK I think of Nye Bevan - "This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time."

@generalising@mastodon.flooey.org @syllopsium@peoplemaking.games Many years ago, my father (RAF) was stationed in Malta. The drinking water was produced from seawater by reverse osmosis. It tasted vile, although the tech used will have improved no end since then! Rather charmingly, the island's press had misheard the name of the process when it went live - and told them the water was made drinkable by Rivers of Moses.
