Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room with Pierre and Suzette.

Thanks. Fixed it.

Please stop putting in comments about bouncy balls. OP made clear by typing it twice he she wants to know about boucy boucey balls.

There are dozens of us.

You can make them affordable by screening for high income.

What if you think affordable housing should be government subsidized? Or as is the case in many places, below market priced units that the builder is required to include, with limits on how they are used (income qualifications and owner occupation).

Neither of those requires you not to rent to other people. It would be like saying I’m for mental health services being paid for by the government but running a psychiatric business.

Returning to this thread long after everyone has moved on.

How do you get enough net energy out of mixing brine from desalination with fresh water to use to separate saltwater into brine and fresh water? Especially when the energy producing method is already known to have poor efficiency?

This seems like this is just terrible at converting treated wastewater into drinking water. Must have something to do with government subsidies instead.

I’m not sure about that, but follow the link below if you’re interested in buying crypto or need ED medication.

That’s like 400 times around the track!

I find for cross-country and track you really just end up back where you started. If you want to get somewhere, you have to run a 5k. If you really want to go far, marathons are where it’s at.

This whole post is just a political “capitalism bad” statement. It might as well be about bank robbers.

He murdered your wife.

The sign could be about missiles - rocks on the road kicked up by the truck’s tires - rather than the truck spilling its load.

This seems like a terrible use, since these plants work by mixing fresh water with seawater (or in this case the brine leftover from desalination). I guess the catch is they can use treated wastewater instead of potable water.

This method gains very little net energy compared to other renewables.

“While energy is released when the salt water is mixed with fresh water, a lot of energy is lost in pumping the two streams into the power plant and from the frictional loss across the membranes. This means that the net energy that can be gained is small,” said Kentish.

No, it’s fine. We’ll just pick representatives to enforce the code and all will be good.

Anarchist code of conduct. Lol.

This is a 2D image of a cup of hazelnuts. The number is just the ones you can see. The ones you can’t see aren’t part of the image.

We don’t have to take any shit from you here.

I would take more time to sit with the diagnosis before doing anything rash. See what your actual progression is like.

Assume you mean from simple building blocks instead of evolving from the reproduction of other bacteria, we could know if there were ever enough of this new bacterium for us to find and isolate it.

For one thing, if it didn’t come from other living things it would not share the genetic code. Almost all organisms on earth use exactly the same translation of RNA codons to amino acids. The few exceptions are changes of just a couple of codons which had fallen to very low frequencies in the hosts’ genomes.

That universal code is one of the reasons we know all life discovered to date evolved from a common ancestor.

A new bacterium, if it evolved convergently to use DNA and RNA and a 3 letter code (a big if), would not use the same translation as modern life. Even if there is some bias towards specific codons, the chance of the same core code happening twice is astronomically low.
