Yes. I drink it and I actually lose water.

By gods. It doesn’t matter what technique you use, it’s still just a dehumidifier! The immediate limitation is the humidity of the air, and deserts aren’t known for being very humid!

Well… There would also have to be water to actually collect from the air. Thunderfoot made a really good video about these dehumidifiers when yet another one popped up on Kickstarter claiming to end water shortages.

It’s a dehumidifier. There’s nothing to patent that hasn’t already been patented.

It really is. I’ve seen at least a handful of these on Kickstarter before, and before Kickstarter was a thing I’m pretty sure I saw something about “revolutionary new technology” like this in a TV documentary.

So… Another dehumidifier… We’ve been over this before.

Many times.

Many many times.

It’s like asking “How much does a visit to the ER cost?”

Easy answer: it’s free. :D

I guess that depends on how your laws and courts function. Other countries don’t have juries like America does.

Because there exists evidence that makes these statistics unreliable.

Not to sound like a broken record, but the statistics themselves cannot be trusted. So bringing up statistics doesn’t support your argument.

… for some reason

“For some reason”

I question whether that fear is based on something real or just the idea that it would happen. That same idea that makes the law harsher against men committing crimes than women.

America needs better unions. Or just… unions.

We don’t know the actual statistics of what percentage of violent crimes and sexual assaults are committed by women. A lot of woman on man crime (domestic abuse, sexual assault) largely goes unreported when it happens, and hardly ever gets taken seriously when it does.

So long as that is still an issue, that there exists some idea that only men do these things, or mostly do these things, or even get falsely accused of doing these things while being a victim, the statistics cannot be trusted.

Feel free to downvote if it makes you feel righteous, or on “the winning side”.

Kids emulating bad behaviours from outside influences is called “bad parenting”. The best teachers are parents and a kid can learn to recognise the morals or lack of morals before them if their parents take the time to actually talk to their kids.

The only way a toxic outside influence will effect a kid to the point where they grow up emulating it, is because the parents failed at being good role models.

Well, I’m not sure what “banned” means outside of the Danish context, but my friend’s wife would not get arrested or fined for reading those books. If I remember correctly, her book club was actually covering those books, and similar, that month.

What “banned” means is that no book store franchise will sell them and no library will hold them. Small private book stores probably still sell banned books, and if you get them somewhere from the internet it should be fine.

When it comes to books like Mein Kampf, I think they should be available to the public.

Those individuals who would end up radicalised by a book like Mein Kampf would end up radicalised anyway. Those who would not get a look into the mind of an idealogical extremist and will hopefully get educated.

What would get people to not take nazi, fascist, and extremist talking points seriously is not being educated in what they are. So instead people get their idea of what they are from movies, memes, and whatever they remember from lessons briefly covering World War 2 in history class.

Well, there is one duo of books that are banned here in Denmark. My friend’s wife is reading them and I had the same reaction as you when I heard it was banned.

I thought, pch, pearl clutchers.

Then she started reading the forward to me, which contained a list of all the fetishes present in the book. It sounded pretty tame with all the BDSM kinks, then it came to blood play, consensual and none-consensual physical abuse, torture porn, and erotic gore.

Then I understood.

Yeah… Funny… That’s what Putler has been doing each time he was invited for peace talks.

Tyranny has the same playbook.

Empires don’t fall by themselves. People burn them down.

If everyone in America is waiting for “somebody” to fix everything for them then there’s a good chance America is going to exceed that 250 year mark.
