How long does five litres generally last?  I think I’d be calling them every day!  For emergency earthquake supplies, we're recommended to stock one gallon per person, per day of purified drinking water. Our machines of that type usually take 5 gallon bottles.

 

Apologies! The water bottles contain 18 litres! Brain fart! Have edited.

How long they last varies. Right now it's in the 30s ℃ and will be for months, so I go through more than in the cooler months .

I understand, but very few places do have potable water supplies. Many places don't have water! As you know I've lived in a few countries, in most of which you don't want to be drinking tap water.

Otherwise, we generally have the same municipal services here.

Yes. I do know that potable water is a scarce resource in many parts of the world. For some reason I did not think that urban China was one of them. 
Even here many indigenous peoples are still waiting for potable tap water. An inexcusable situation.

It’s that Chinese whiskey.

Don't ask. Eat it.

It looks like a freestanding water bottle filling station.   All the offices around here have been doing away with one use cups and encouraging "bring your own" personal water bottle.   The spigot is taller due to water bottle height.

 

EDIT:  also have seen them at hotels recently.

 

We have a water bottle filling station at work.  It even counts the number of water bottles filled.  Yesterday when I went to fill my little water bottle I saw a patron filling up a gallon container to take home with his books.  I figured his tax dollars paid for the machine.  He may as well get some water out of it.

Hi all, 

This a contemporary spoon I saw online and I wonder if anyone knows the name of this pattern? Or where I can get it? 

 

Thank you :)

It's an Art Deco design that is pictured in at least two books on Art Deco design in the flatware, hollowware sections.  Considered a "classic."

Nice looking partial set of Lady Frances silverplate  listed on eBay   

It is a very pretty pattern.

And in the original silver chest, with the original brochure!💕

 

If anyone's in the market for this lovely set, I recommend you click on the link and put it on your watchlist! I did yesterday, and after a few hours I got a 20% discount offer from the seller. In other words, the seller is motivated.

 

(And yes, I want that set and no, I have no room or use for it. I already have lovely silverware. Two sets. My family would not thank me for acquiring a third!)

Ok so after clicking through 26 pages of Oneida flatware on the Replacements LTD site (I hazarded a guess that it was Oneida - it was not), I tried their ‘Search With Photo’ tool, the camera icon beside the search bar on replacements.com and that’s how I came up with my result. Pretty nifty, hope this helps others.

After cropping and enhancing your image (see below) it looks like it might be “Threshold” which appears to be an older line from Target, the only one I can easily find is here.

What size are you looking for?  Is the dark exterior important for your needs?  Is that a non-stick interior surface?
