It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

Or Nestle asked your water utility to disconnect your service because you're drinking free water instead of purchasing theirs. Not a direct correlation but closer.

Free water? Where do you live? Here I have to pay for that. 🤣

I mean, municipal water most places isn't free, but for drinking water it's effectively free.

Well water is a thing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've had those things before. But there is maintenance and power to factor in; so not entirely free.

Power yea maintenance not really been running the same pump for my house for almost 2 decades now

I was just being sarcastic. I am WELL aware that wells exist. Also my city water isn’t really all that expensive. Certainly much cheaper than buying bottled water on the daily.
