BC, Canada - our tap water is perfectly safe and delicious!
My experience in North America has been generally safe to drink tap water, but there are areas where it is not safe. I find it similar to reviews - if nothing is wrong, people are less likely to leave a positive review.
I made a Pandora battery back in high school to mod friends PSPs. I still have no idea how the heck removing a pin from the battery causes it to do what it does but heck, I felt like a wizard.
But of course with unlimited access to games it meant I tried everything and completed nothing.
