Got up at 05:30 this morning, and went to make ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
No water.
Burst water mains at 03:52 apparently. Quote: "We anticipate that water supplies should begin returning to normal by later this morning."
"later this morning"? 
No coffee.
Seriously. NO COFFEE
Expect a cranky OG today - I've just been to the supermarket for bottled water, but it's not going to be the same ... NO COFFEE ... help. Feeling sleepy ...
(I may be overreacting a touch, but ... NO COFFEE).

Have you considered to boil some of the water from the bottle for your coffee?

Bottled water. Always keep a stash of bottled water. I learnt it the hard way (3 days with no water).

I do - but it's ten years old (or so) and I didn't think it would be good to drink (not that water goes off, but after that time in a warm kitchen gawd knows what's been breeding in there / leaching out of the plastic. It'll do for flushing, but ...)

I keep them in a dark cool place and regularly cycle them out, excactly for the reason you wrote (drinking from a bottle left in a truck for umpteen years has not been my most pleasant experience).

Just check, the storage method as I know from working in the water industry can cause the water to 'go off'...

I know, I worked on Food&Beverage for a lot of time, and I'm also properly paranoid.

No ice-cubes in the freezer? Throw them in the microwave, and make some coffee.
In the worst case you'd have to boil milk to make some filtered coffee.

A customer of mine was considering a third party product for some functionality they want.
It's kind of a niche market and there is basically only this one vendor in the Netherlands for the product.
There's another vendor, apparently, but they're not very big (and they have bad experiences with them), and there is one company who wrote their own.
So anyway, I just went to this one vendor's website and the login/registration page, where I enter a username and password, company name, business identifier number, email and some other info, and IT'S NOT HTTPS!? 
It literally says "Not secure" right there in the browser and somehow everyone is okay with this!?
And it's not like I went to the HTTP site while I should've gone to the HTTPS site (but seriously, HSTS?) there really is no HTTPS available...
If this is what they're offering I don't have much hope for their services, which is SOAP so my expectations weren't too high to begin with 
The sad truth is that most of their clients don't care about IT and/or security, it's just a necessary evil and a huge cost...

Until something goes wrong and a lot of money is lost.
Then they'll ask you why you didn't warn them

So anyway, I am currently drinking Dutch Windmill as it is selling for AUD$30.00 a carton and beer prices haven't been that cheap in Australia since like the turn of the century.
Am I drinking the Netherlands equivalent of Fosters? Have you heard of it? On the side it says it is made in the Netherlands so not some Australian company taking the piss.
