This is the kind of arrogant ~rationalizing / 'reasoning' that is my daily tell-tale as the ship approaches the leeward shore.

Not unreasonable, but I would point out two options (not the only): 1) "Water batteries" - highly efficient (far more than the 'chemical' you are apparently referring to) & responsive 2) Methods for using 'renew

Now that is the kind of "modern problems require modern solutions" thinking I like to see! Kudos - excellent examination of implications / change of perspective / viewing from another angle. The kind of thinking tha

I believe the solution was given by the great philosopher Pratchett*: "Wen considered the nature of time and understood that the universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. Therefore, he understood, there is in truth no past, only

I'd be more impressed if it were that case that 0% of the WORDS remain. Nevertheless, the consonance of this 'weaker result' is still satisfying. Bravo!

Funny - I was just thinking* about some of what you've described. In my book, a great deal of what a certain group of predators and naive individuals consider "capitalism" is hollowed of its core. Hollowed of aspects th

Haha - I love this! Excellent, witty, accurate. Kudos. Sorry for low content response, but, too good a joke to simply upvote, IMO

Hey now, how can you guarantee p(Picasso) or p(Hendrix) is 0 for all readers of your comment?* In any case, I think your response and multiple similar responses make the essential point(s). One of the useful 'results' from decades

Excellent point - you are 100% correct, parent comment etc. were specifically about water-moderated types. I was too grabbed by some of the later description and just connected it somewhat haphazardly to not very organized or accurate info

It used to happen much more in the past. Many decades ago, AFAIK, at least in the journals / fields / areas I'm familiar with. I'm not sure where that might happen or be tolerated, today. If you go back and look at resea

Thank you so much for sharing that! Beautiful / elegant and simple! It's been decades since I looked at any of the details involved in any of the various types of reactors that have been designed. When I did, in the past, I hadn&#

This was my first thought. It's a complicated topic, biochemically / physiologically, however. Guidelines and recommendations have changed many times in the past couple of decades. With the scale of epidemiological data collection

You'd undoubtedly have to design, at least at some point, for such a system to be explicitly attacked. I'm not assuming you haven't considered that, just pointing out that this might factor into how one might approach build

Unfortunately, this is a problem throughout our various economies, at this point. Professionalization of management with its easy over-reliance on the simplification of the quantitative - of "metrics" - along with the scales (size

Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. The US (in particular) has seen a significant decline in trust (think community, as in union, as in Federalist #10 etc.) in all manner of fundamentals of democracy and 'modernity' (tech,

Yes, it sure would be a shame if, I dunno, some execs at Experian were to experience some of the same issues that so many others have - due to the existence and ... 'management' of their own business ... Why, going through such

You make it sound dark-side / light-side. Might I interest you in a pleasing shade of gray? Hemodialysis. Join the 'penumbra-side'. More seriously, sorry you have that issue. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything u

The universe most certainly has a mysterious affinity with mathematics. Is that really true? Could it be more fair to say that mathematics has a (not so) mysterious affinity with the universe? Specifically, where do our 'axioms&#x2

Regarding the downvotes (none from me, I'll respond generally if it seems at all useful)... First, this is, I'd say, rather off-topic ... and may seem impolite. It's along the lines of "hey, did you hear so-and-so died?

Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, actually caring about other people in such a general sense suggests a sort of strong / true character in a person. OTOH, commenting about your 'pity' in sardonic language, dripping wi

You said it man!* I find the 'ethics' of everything complicated, lately. But, simple non-flashy action to just try to relieve some suffering is about as ... therapeutic as it gets - for everyone, I think. It reminds me of that g

As to the fridge point, fridge vs. room temp probably wouldn't make much difference in what I glean of the scenario from a quick glance. It'd help a bit - would cool things a bit faster,* but, eh ... I wouldn't expect that
