My lady pays for Netflix. Gets ads. Why , when you can get all the ads you want on free to air tv, without a monthly subscription.
FWIW: That has long been my take on theme parks, too. Why pay money to stand in long lines? One can go to one's local Motor Vehicle Administration* and stand in a long line at no additional charge!

I’m no Chemical Engineer, but that’s an Oxygen line and I’m guessing that under pressure it could pass a fair amount of O2 to inject into a water stream to use as a purifying agent.

Though I know that water aerators kill microbes by exposing the beasties to oxygen in the air, I’d intuit that injecting pure oxygen into a water stream would be more effective than mere air, albeit probably more expensive.

Add additional lines and water streams and this probably scales effectively.

Any ASR Chem Es who know water purification who might want to chime in?
My base knowledge makes me wonder: if you inject pure oxygen into water... what if you do too much? Water's capacity to bind it must be limited, wouldn't the excess gas out again, and potentially make your tapwater explosive? :eek: :D

Nah, just a little fizzy. Oxygen's not terribly soluble in water, although, of course, it's more soluble in cold water than tepid. Thus trout streams vs. muddy ponds full of carp. ;)

Water is fun amazing stuff. Due to the network of hydrogen bonds formed, water is not very compressible. It is perfectly explosive on its own. :)

No Mentos required. :cool:

Although, yeah, a little air, which is compressible, helps! ( and before the physical chemists get all up in my face about hydrostatics and whatnot...)

Ah yes, the extinct east Germanic cultures that nevertheless left their mark on Europe, from the Northeast way down Southwest into modern Spain.

Flies off into romantic ethnocultural nostalgialand <3

Fun fact: Today's Saxony, the easternmost German state, is pretty much the center of modern Goth culture, with the biggest fairs and festivals and all. Nothing to do with the historic Goths, but the coincidence is interesting.
 
I will speak as an elder of the tribe, may Astrape forgive me.

In 1996 I had a little business as a recording engineer. I was able to edit in the digital domain thanks to a high-end Apple Mac series tower with 2 gig (!!!!) of hard drive space and a Digidesign Sound Designer II card and software. The possibility of making bit perfect copies of my subedits on CDs seemed rational, but at the time one had to shut down every single extension when one used the CD burner of 1996. I think I got one good CD out of twenty attempts. So, not practical in the dim dawn of digits.

Just a few years later, after I stopped recording, burning CDs became too easy. There's something like 400 burned CDs in the closet and I really don't know what to do with them.
