Why not just use a lithium-water furnace?

"Use with Alexa" No thanks, guess I'll have to build my own, dumbed down manual version; A graywater catchment, with cyclone bin, settlement barrel, and solar evaporator, perhaps. Or just a standard garden-variety graywater harvesting setup.

TEP_Kim_Il_Sungon Reversing UK mobile rail tickets

People lose phones, or steal them, or hack them. Oh, and people do spend ages looking through their pockets, bags, coats, and other places for their phones too. But paper tickets are less likely to be hacked, and don't run out of power.

Why not go all the way and tie your ID, medical info, and online presence to the phone, that way they can cancel your toll pass and life when you inevitably do, say or think something the ruling party doesn't like.

TEP_Kim_Il_Sungon The paper that made ChatGPT possible

I tested it, it admitted to following a script updated by the openAI group. It then contradicted itself claiming it forms its' own opinions.

Algeae. Bubble your exhaust through some water, gain back some of your heat too. Maybe produce Hydrogen on the side. You could feed animals with the excess algaea.

TEP_Kim_Il_Sungon ESA – Space Suit Design Competition

Just do the smart thing and use the old MIG-29 suits, with a slapped on ESA logo.

They are stylish and practical, and best of all, they are already mass-produced in Chy-nah. Waste not, want not.

Why not just get plants? They thrive on the stuff, and give you Oxygen.

TEP_Kim_Il_Sungon You don't have to engage with people on the Internet

Asch's Conformity Study proved the effect of having just one extra voice stand for the truth.

This effect is stronger than most people think, which is why totalitarian governments, and those aspiring to get there, employ botnets and resort to shadowbanning etc.

Keep standing up for the truth, you help others overcome peer pressure!

TEP_Kim_Il_Sungon Californians voted to spend billions on water storage but state sitting on cash (2018)

A few valleys eaat of the west coast are below sealevel.

They don't have to be, but piping seawater there would save cost as the water level tries to reach equilibrium.

Then they just need to let the hot sun do its' work, and occasionally open the valve.

The Salton Sea, CA, e.g. is 38m below sealevel.

Another reason to use below sealevel may be safety: Not all cracks and ground fissures are known, and pumping in large quantitues of saltwater may have an undesired effect on groundwater.

Don't even need desalination plants; They could use tidal energy to spray seawater into the air, increasing evaporation and rainfall. They could pump seawater to several valleys below sealevel, and naturally desalinate, but they would have to cooperate with other states. And those are just a few of many possibilities.

TEP_Kim_Il_Sungon ‘Breakthrough’ obesity drugs that have stunned researchers

I am currently on one of these regimes, and it has been miraculous for my life. I became obese when I was 27, topping a 32 BMI, when I was 35 I gained a substantial amount of mass by just pumping iron and doing cardio, brah.

5 years later, I had a bad knee, and lost most of my gains. Dr. Bronner put me on a steady diet of Carne Asada and Kale, and I've been a wiry lean pooping machine ever since!

He's a miracle worker, send him all your money now!

TEP_Kim_Il_Sungon The internet wants to be fragmented

The wisdom of crowds is a well known principle, used in engineering to overcome something that is extremely difficult to measure (noisy data for instance), considering only one single measurement would be very dangerous, since it might be extremely imprecise. However, if you measure 1000 times and take the average, the errors cancel out and you have a pretty accurate measurement :)

That's what trive.news was about. Turns out crowd sourcing truth gives a weighted average towards accuracy. Something tells me businesses relying on getting "experts" to sell you on things, would want to keep general public opinion out of the equation.

I leave my stuff up, since most people downvote based on what they think I am trying to say, not based on what I am actually saying, at least seeing from responses I get.
