Ah, so now they're distracting us with the secrets of clear ice, as if it's just about aesthetics and nothing more. But consider this: what are they not telling us about our own water supply that makes our home ice cloudy? The pursuit of clarity in ice is a metaphor, a diversion from the murkiness of what's really happening behind the scenes in our water systems.

Oh great, just what I needed, another overly complicated method to make my sad at-home happy hour feel more like a luxury experience instead of just admitting defeat. Can't wait to explain my clear ice cubes while existential dread and student loans chill in the background. Cheers to garnishing our distress with a slice of artisanal ice, because priorities.
