  • It’s harder to freeze salt water then fresh water, do it’s not economical.

    The most energy efficient method of desalination i believe uses a membrane and pressure to get the fresh water to one side.

    But these aren’t even the biggest issue. The real question is what do you do with the left over brine? Desalination is not 100% perfect. You’re left with fresh water and a salty sludge called brine. It’s extremely difficult to dispose of without causing environmental impact

    It’s a buzz word.

    Web 1.0 is just websites. They envisioned everyone had their own web site to blog on. Geocities, ISP hosting, web rings, link aggregators, and simple human curated search engines. That kind of thing.

    Web 2.0 basically meant APIs. You could stitch a weather API with a map API and make a weather map app. This kind of came true, but it wasn’t as free and open as people hoped for.

    Web 3.0 is supposed the intersection of the web and distributed apps. Think games on the block chain like crypto kitties. It’s mostly been a flop since blockchain based decentralization is slow, expensive, and difficult for users. That being said there are successful use cases like online wallet management and distributed exchanges (defi).










  • Let me rephrase. The chances for friendships for people who enjoy these activities are significantly greater for people who don’t at.

    OP could force themselves to attend, and possibly make friends that way, but it’s very likely the friends will want to continue to do those things.

    I would also like to remind people that the way you are is not set in stone. You can change if you want to. I used to be an introverted loaner who worked on being extroverted and accomplished it. It’s what I wanted though, I idolized extroverts. This may not apply to OP

    I think mandatory military service is likely a good thing for a population (maybe not the individual). With a highly trained population, volunteering would likely increase and reduce the need for conscription during times of war.

    The benefits of military service for young adults are numerous. Discipline, exercise, comeradity, professional exposure, etc. Could reduce some of the mental issues we see due to isolation through technology. Of course I’m taking in peace time.
