I’m currently trying to find an under sink RO system. The two leading options right now for me are

1. iSpring

2. water drop

The appeal to me for the iSpring is the cost, and the mineralization phase. I have the space for the tank, but it does seem nice to have a tankless system. The water drop gives me that for not a ton more money. But that one does not have a mineralization phase from what I can tell. Waterdrop also has the NSF 372 rating which it doesn’t look like the iSpring has. Any input or experience on these systems is greatly appreciated.

If it’s relevant, I’ll also likely be using this 2 in 1 faucet, which I think these are compatible with but if someone knows otherwise please LMK. faucet

Iv always just used them straight out of the box with no problems I know of, but I’m seeing some mixed answers online. What is the general consensus ?

I currently have cheap plastic cutting boards, and my main goal is to get away from that to avoid microplastics, VOC’s, etc. I have found that end grain maple/walnut boards are the best choice, but they are also not cheap. I’m cooking a few times a week, and really just want something I can feel confident won’t be leaking toxins into my food, and won’t fall apart after a few uses. Is there a middle ground between my cheap plastic ones and an expensive end grain board that will still do a decent job and not break the bank ?

Just finished remake, jumped into chapter 1 of rebirth today. I feel like there’s all these subtle nods that things aren’t happening how they are meant to, and when the big reveal happened at the end of remake, it didn’t really hit for me until I looked it up after because I have no context of the original game. I don’t really have interest in playing OG, but is it worth knowing the story to get the most impact out of rebirth and eventually revelations? Iv also been saving reunion for after revelations, not sure if that’s the right way to go.

I’m looking for something that has really fun 1v1 mono e mono type boss fights (doesn’t need to be a boss rush game). Games that do this well Iv played are things like Sifu, the DMC games, all the soulsborne games, etc. Ideally something single player, I played Street fighter for the longest time but competitive pvp games just aren’t my thing right now.
