I thought "they" made bottles just for that purpose.

Actual ones I have seen ... glass cabinets with wooden frames.

Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

I actually tried to find the large glass bottles for a ship.  No luck.

Multi gallon water jugs from water coolers?

The ones I have seen are all plastic.  A true glass water cooler jug would be good.

There are points where I think, "You know, maybe pr is right... maybe attacking the source's legitimacy is wrong, and I should only focus on the content."

Then I see people post Tucker Carlson and I say, "Nah, fuck that. Quoting the TC is an instant L."

The source matters.  A source dedicated to one view is not to be trusted.

A true skeptic attacks everything, except himself.  Don't stop now!

If you rely on any authority, other than your own, you might as well live at the Vatican.

I don't, though I do think science is build incrementally and that IS a sort of authority.  Like F=MA...

Yes.  Useful pragmatic formulas, that don't ever claim to be ultimate truth (except by scientist wannabes).  It is advisable to not ignore physical reality, particularly when jumping off the roofs of barns in a doomed attempt to fly.
