I wish they would ban swim diapers altogether. You never know what's in there, there probably is something, if the parents see the necessity. Just ban child and parent for a month if they can't hold it and spoil the pool for everyone.
So how exactly do you propose telling a 1 or 2 year old not to poop in a pool?

Children who do not have proper bowel control yet are out of place in the public pool. Why should people have to put up with someone else's faeces? It's not hygienic.

I have an even snarkier reply, but I'm going to drop it. You're barking up the wrong tree here, this is not really appropriate commenting behavior on Hacker News. I really recommend reading https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html - accusing a benign article about swimming pools of being racist and then disregarding my comments because of my race (and assuming my race) isn't really appropriate. If you disagre…
I responded to the contents of the comment and the post. You sir, gave a condescending response that u are letting it slide. The mere assumption that brown people reporting racisim is wrong and that u let it slide shows your ignorance. If you are really you are right, we can take this in front of jury. Interested? I am 100% sure you ll complain if any picture online suggests sexism. Isn't that double standard? I post…
In any case...

I never made the statement that you cannot report racism, only that in this case I thought you are in the wrong. You are free to report whatever you are like, just as I'm free to make a statement that I don't think it's correct. I was a little snarky in my initial comment, but my point still stands.

What kind of jury are we talking about?
> I am 100% sure you ll complain if any picture online suggests sexism. Isn't that double standard? I posted that comment there to register this issue. I know this country is too busy fighting for white women rights and not care about racism across the board.
If I saw a blatant example of racism or sexism in a post, I will call it out. No double standard. You're the one making assumptions here, that I only care about white woman's rights.

Is that a threat? Please elaborate.
I just came back from a swim. Accidentally swallowed a bit as well (it happens, never pleasant). I do use goggles to protect my eyes. Overall it's a good work out but the chlorine is definitely unpleasant. I've encountered a few pools in Denmark that use salt water rather than chlorine. Much more pleasant to swim in and seems to have the same effect of killing off bacteria. Seems like a nice alternative. Refreshing t…
Big municipal pools have continous chemistry monitoring so they can achieve the same effect with less electricity. They can also increase the flow rate when there are more people etc.

So basically, if chlorine isn't generating chloramine, then the chlorine is useless to begin with
Yes, which is why it's important to regularly "shock" the pool to oxidize the chloramines, typically by superchlorinating the pool, but much more effectively by adding ozone.
Your comment on ozone made me do some quick searching, and [0] suggests to me that I should also run my pool pump for longer at lower RPM. I'm interested too in how I can minimise the cost of running the pool, which that will help with.

I remember a brain freeze episode as well! I can't really recall the plot anymore, but that one definitely stuck with me for some reason.
Pete & Pete is an absolutely fantastic and deeply strange show. Many lazy summer days of my childhood were spent trying to re-create some of the things I saw on it. It's an eternal favorite. https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Pete-Season/dp/B01IMU1MQA (the 1st season) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWL6oTWQDfQ (arguably their best episode, Das Bus )

I support this but don't let the colour disappear. So that you know that you're getting into a pee pool or not.
That would be wildly expensive as it would require you to drain the entire pool afterwards.
So how much water do you need before it's socially acceptable? I pee in the lake. What about a large pond or a really huge pool in a water park?
I've always been told not to urinate or defecate within 100 feet of water sources in the backcountry because if everyone does it it builds up and then the water is unsafe to drink even when filtered. The 6 micron filters used to filter giardia from the water will not filter viruses, which are present in your feces. Please stop doing this.
I didn't say I was crapping in the lake. Is urine in a lake a serious risk?
