Oh wow the water wars are starting a few years earlier than I anticipated.

Mankind better watch out. Next it'll be air.

Oh, it's already being sold.

Those things are awesome. They weigh next to nothing, the small ones have 60 inhales in them, and a single hit is night and day when running at high altitude. A buddy didn’t have time to acclimate before a race, so we got him one as a joke, and it unironically helped him a lot

As Bo said, “Twenty thousand years of this, seven more to go.”
