- Comment on Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner 2 days ago:
I still think it’s a pipedream. The energy needed vs what you get in return doesn’t add up for me.
I would imagin they are similar to molecular sieves. They are very porous and that’s how they trap the water. If it was easy to get out then it wouldnt trap water very well. To pull that water back out you have to really heat it up to force it to find its way out like a maze. If you where to say used black plastic, I have doubts you could get anywhere near boiling so it might be free an easy you wouldn’t be putting enough energy in to get enough water out. So you would need an external power source. No matter where (magic solar panels).
If your going to use an external power source might as well use it to put a pump on a pipe and I would guess move an infinite more amount of water for the power used.
While trucking water would be expensive. I would imagen these would be even more so. You have to buy them move them set them up and im sure do some sort of maintains. And if you want a long term solution look no further than Las Vegas. Where a big pipe is cheap and easy, well compared to what I would imaging what this would cost at the same scale.
Also to my understanding many places do have some form of water but its not safe to drink. I would rather spend the money on a filter/ purification system of water than try to pull it out of the air that would still probably need to be filtered, dust is crazy.

Now from this it sounds like a fancy dew collector with extra steps.
Why most certainly there is some niche uses for it and every situation is different. I highly doubt it has a real would massive scale use and when people promise the world( like pulling drinking water out of air) I think they are nothing more than a pipedream.
I stand by a post I made here elsewhere. It would be cheeper to load up a truck with water and move it to where you need it, or better yet build a pipeline. MOF while, like I have their uses, we already have very efficient ways yo clean and move water and no supper SciFi techno babal will replace what we already use. It the same thing as data centers in space.

MOF’s sound like normal dehumidifier with extra steps. The way I see it and from what I understand from reading this.
Put MOF outside so it absorbs water from air.
Heat MOF up to boiling( 100C) to get the water out. ( as something lime squeezing it would probably destroy it, though would be cool)
Cool the water vapor back down using normal dehumidifier means.
Why spend the energy to heat the MOF up. Just cool the air down using normal dehumidifier means. It take a ton of energy to heat water up.

It would be cheeper and easier and less energy intensive to load a truck up with water and drive it to where you need it.

I would say they have us focusing on the wrong 1%. We should unite and go after the real problem. Image
- Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses 4 days ago:
I don’t know how true this is, or if it’s just a funny story. Years ago even before gay marriage even became a topic in mainstream media. I heard that a trans fem went to go get her ID changed from M to F. They refused to change it all the typical response. She got mad and well if they see me as M then I’ll dress like one. She took her top off and would walk around town topless. Cops would arrest her or try to write her tickets but she would go into Court and go my ID says M and men can walk around without a shirt, so what’s the problem. I think they eventually let her change her ID to F.
Again I don’t know if this is true just a funny story I heard a long time ago. Though it would be funny if it would happen today.

Awe my bad thought you where talking about the drops of water left by people who fake wash their hands. But it doesn’t keep me up at night, well to much.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 1 month ago:
While yes for the most part. It doesn’t keep me up at night. The point of washing your hands is to well wash your hands. Would you let a surgeon operate on you saying na its cool I rinsed them off? Would you wipe your ass then just rinse them off then lick them? ( wait I take that back some people are into that) Washing your hands is one of the most simplistic and easiest things we can do to help prevent people from getting sick. Its not hard just wash your hands, Jerry you already did the hard part by walking to the sink getting your hands wet now add soap and scrub then dry your hands the towl is right there.
Also some peoples immune system is not the best thing in the world. I don’t like being sick. I feel like we learned nothing from covid.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 1 month ago:
I have convinced a few people in my life to close the lid by telling them. Stand completely naked by an open toilet then flush it and just feel all that water splash for that time. Repeat again with closed lid if need be. Most the water you don’t see but can feel it land on you. Now just think about all the stuff it lands on and you touch in your bathroom like your toothbrush.
The one thing that really bothers me is when I see people walk up to a urinal and flush it and just stand there letting all the stuff get all over themselves from the last guy. Also on the same note people who fake washing their hands then particularly don’t dry them. Like WTF all you are doing is making little pools of bacteria to have a spa day. Then you leave those little pools on every thing you touch. I rather you not fucking wash your hands at all. And yes people notice you acting like a 5 year old who doesn’t want to wash his hands because mommy told him to. Your a 35 year old grown ass man Jerry. Wash your hands for real. WTF.
BTW I’m a guy if you haven’t guessed and I thank you for reading about my thoughts as I fall asleep.

- Comment on YSK that Elena Kostyuchenko is an extraordinarily brave woman. 2 months ago:
So someone who makes a stylised choice in formating a post to inform people of a cool person and may not know about said possible issue of the accacability, issues such as yours, is a fascist?
Do not attribute to malice, that which could easily be attributed to ignorance.
Don’t assume. It makes an ass u me.
All I’m saying is you should politely inform someone of a better way of doing something as opposed to telling someone to do something. I think I know a group of people who are known for telling other what to do. I wonder what it could be.
But go a head keep calling anyone who doesn’t do what you say or points this out to you a fascist.

You must have a great time over at lemmy.world/c/lemmyshitpost /s
But if I might make a suggestion. Why don’t you ask someone to do something? And if you feel inclined to tell them why. It might go over better than telling a random stranger on the Internet what to do.
But you do you boo.

- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 2 months ago:
In the US there is still a thing ad broadcast TV. Stick a TV antenna up in the air, free TV. Get a tuner card for PC and TV for your PC before streaming was ever a thing. Used it on my laptop when I traveled more. But with setting it up in jellyfin it works but is janky and needs polishing, and setting it up to download the TV guide is kinda a nightmare. With Plex life pass ( this is the feature that made me get it and dropping Comcast cable TV) it just works auto scans for channels and auto downloads TV guide, easy to flip throughout channels even my mom does it.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 2 months ago:
I’ll have to look into that. Last I remember they removed that and local simple pin. Because it could be used to bypass security even from outside network. You are running current version right?
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 2 months ago:
I do that sometimes but I like the morning news and I feel it should be current so not a great solution for me. Jellyfin just needs a bit more polish. Its great I like it but also at the same rate the appear to fix some things like their security bugs I’m not going to hold my breath. I do hope they push through though like Immich.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 2 months ago:
3 Things stope from using jellyfin 100% of the time.
1)TV tuner is janky and loading a guide for local channels is garbage. I like watching the morning local news and jellyfin just does not cut it.
2)I want sub accounts. They used to have something similar but took it out for security reasons. I want to log all my TVs into one account but then have each user select their profile. So I can easily have a restricted profile for say kids then another for my parents then one for me then one for SO under the same roof. It will track each persons watched profile so when someone watches ahead it doesn’t mess with someone else’s.
- On the same note, controller/ HTPC remote configs feel janky. I know its there but its not a smooth and easy as Plex. This goes along with above for anyone who says just make another account. You try entering half decent passwords with small HTPC remotes or controllers.
If they could fix these things I would ditch Plex all the way. But as it stands I use Plex for my TV and jellyfin for my phones, tablets, PC.

You know when you make a sandwich or some buttered toast and you set the knife carefully on the edge of the sink. Well because you might decided to make another sandwich latter or your SO goes that looks good can I get one too. And bam your the hero because you now have one less knife to clean in the dishwasher.
That is why I have so many tabs open. I know I probably won’t need most of them and it’s safe to close them. But oh dang do I feel like a hero when I get that itch for a video I want to watch and I don’t have to look through my history for next 20 minutes because, bam, its right their in that tab.
