acquiescent

I love the word acquiesce. It just looks classy and elegant (even though the word doesn't mean anything like it)

Yes please!

Yeah I forgot about oil particles (?) being ever present in kitchens

I thought putting milk in a kettle was weird enough. Putting unwashed dicks too??

Very good to know! Just trying to avoid potential stomach upsets while overseas. I'll be gone in a week or so, so not concerned about the other stuff :P

The kettle doesn't have whitish looking residue though. It's spotty specks of grey that leaves chalky white powder on my finger when I wipe them, is that still limestone?

I don't wanna know what that is but part of me is aching to know

Hava nice day??

I'm from Singapore, and fortunately the tap water is clean enough that I basically drink straight from the tap.

Damn that's an experiment I'll be trying for my stay here! Pretty cool to learn about these stuff

I wiped them off with my finger the first time, it looks like chalky white powder.

The next batch of water we boiled looked fine. The batch afterward had this residue again

I wouldn't rule that out, no idea how many tenants came before us. They could have boiled orange juice in them for all I know

Looks like a glass jar to contain water. Previous tenants could have used them to store literally anything so yeah, residual fats doesn't sound that surprising now that I think about it.

Maybe I should be paying more attention to the stuff around me instead of only while I'm overseas 🙃
