I shave DE and this is an amazing idea. I currently use a sharps container, but this is so much more fun.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

Even with fission, nuclear is a panacea of energy with almost no waste for modern reactors. I can see there being an initial rise in energy costs to get those projects built out though. If they are phasing out nuclear, that would be dumb.

Additionally, researchers at MIT recently found that you can evaporate water without heat, so that should hopefully be a thing in the near future.

I was about to write back that we are not far off the advances to make these affordable and then did a google search and found that you can get a distilled unit on Amazon for $180 that is capable of making a gallon in 5 hours for about $.45 worth of electricity. That is far less than what it costs to buy distilled water at the store, which is around $1 a gallon. If you look at this from a break-even analysis, you technically start to reap the rewards of ownership after about 800 uses since the first 400 uses basically cost you $1.45 per gallon, then the next 400 costs you $.45 per gallon, but you are recouping that extra cost over the $1 retail price, so by the 800th use, you are getting water at less than half the price of the store.

Not necessarily. It just requires excitation at a molecular level. You can get creative with your source. They have been playing around with low energy methods like LED or even just using the sun, geothermal, etc.

Distill water, then add minerals back into it, and bottle in glass, profit.

What if that tent was firing rockets though.

Shouldn’t we get their side of the story?

 

/imagine An alien growing the cannabis flower with very big buds on a plant in late bloom. Grow tent. Golden Goat. Sativa. Bright. Amber trichomes. Sea of green. Fractal futuristic surreal background.

 

/imagine A futomaki containing ikura and saba on the outside with the inside consisting of otoro, uni, avocado, and Sofutosherukurabu no tempura. Drizzled with yuzu, dynamite sauce, tempura flakes, and thin chopped Thai chilis.

 

/imagine Rosie the Riveter, but attractive Ukrainian women instead. Flag, ammo
