  • ill tell you this, the amount of data would require for anyone accept a statement or idea as fact is related to their emotional assessment of the idea. See it all the time with trump supporters that think that trump is actually fighting to cut tax on overtime pay simple because he said it on the trail and there no evidence (and they have no evidence) that is happening, on the other hand it would take an infinite amount of evidence that trump took bribes even as he openly appointed Elon after spending millions of dollars.

    so its weird that you have to propagandize the facts just to get people anywhere near a reasonable level of skeptism.

    but for me I just say anything is valid unless I know how its wrong, which is limbo of acceptance then afterwards it can become a scoreboard where for and against. maybe a source doesn’t 100% line up with a statement, hell even video/audio evidence can be incongruent with a statement (as in its similar to what’s said but doesn’t back up a statement). I think the claim that Floyd overdosed but the video doesn’t show a overdose from opioids, so you’d have to rule out overdose simple because video doesn’t match the description of an overdose.

    it wouldn’t take much, generally new information has to be consistent with what I know. the hard part is understanding the new information. no one is randomly disprove gravity or that things have mass, but someone can prove to me how a myth is meant to be interpreted for the intended audience











  • true, i guess i was thinking salt water distillation, so maybe contamination would okay. but I asked ai and since it would only be water vapor and that pressure would be temperature dependent then at room temp the would be 0.03 atm so there’s nothing in the vapor part. (at 100 C it would be 1 atm is okay)

    there is benefit to putting a still in a vacuum because it will absorb thermal energy and lowering boiling point save energy


  • You could lower the bucket to boil the seal container.

    I do have trouble imagining two containers with two different pressures but I get you can have a pressure valve like in a refrigeration system.

    The pressure on the seal container would seem to be the same pressure as the phase changes. The container in the video was crushed by the atmosphere so that implies the pressure is lower than atmosphere post phase change.

    But there seems be an issue once the water has became vapor like would the boiling point move enough so that the water would condensate and would condensation reduce the pressure thus lowering the pressure and boiling point.

    There would be water in both the containers and tube. Seems strange that water in the tube at the vapor/liquid barrier would evaporator then condense in what’s essential a similar environment. Its possible when I think about it just the seal container water can evaporate and go back into the tube

    I can’t really do calculations because I don’t know the process yet, but I think boiling water would be more energy than lifting water 34 feet since water heat capacity is so high.

    Right now I do think the flaw would be it being a slow process or even inefficient







  • Yeah I can definitely say Lemmy can get toxic. I thought with Redding your karma was a status symbol and indicated to other redditors on how to treat you or even if they wanted to engage with you. Along with you account age

    It’s like you had to post animal pics for a week before you got any recognition.

    Here people look at your post or comment likes and decide how to engage with you. There’s definitely approval addicts
