@thor Ah yes the male becomes a handbag for the female.

@AmpBenzScientist it's a bit like how you somehow can't make a movie unless you buy a fancy camera first. you can't just point a phone at people and tell them to act. 🤷♂️
@thor That's because Smartphones are wasted potential in nearly every way possible. Do I have access to a smartphone that can capture a 45acp round in flight from 10m with approximately 12 frames of it? Yes I do but I'm getting off topic.
It's like a DSP or FPGA, you have to pay monies to get results because they have a monopoly and their precious IP might be useful without their consent.
@thor @pfpoitras Yeah the gel membrane would be able to capture the desired molecule and release it into clean water. I'm familiar with it from electrochemistry but that mostly involves unstable intermediates. I had an interesting conversation with someone who managed to defeat the advanced binders for pseudoephedrine with a similar method. It was beautiful.
@thor @pfpoitras Reverse Osmosis or fractional distillation under reduced pressure.

@AmpBenzScientist @pfpoitras would you have any idea of how to filter very fine particles out of water? i use paper to get rid of most of the filler but there's a fine mist of it that clouds the water. passes straight through all paper filters i've tried, and the particles are light enough that they don't fall to the bottom of the container.

@AmpBenzScientist that's the one i had in mind i think. sounds like it depends on evaporation.
@thor Analytical Chemistry is its own field. Stuff happens and it's kinda important to be able to explain it.
@thor @pfpoitras In Chemistry: Alkaline chemicals have a biter taste also don't taste the chemicals.

@AmpBenzScientist @pfpoitras it's alkaline so that's to be expected. i mix with fruit syrup and i have to add a lot more than with just pure water to get something palatable. the citric acid in the fruit and the alkaline caffeine counteract each other, i think.
@thor It also served to show the Soviets that we could advance Science at a rate they couldn't match nor sustain.
I believe the result of Man on the Moon was the decree that space is not properly of one nation but we go together as one.

the Apollo program is often justified with the inventions it lead to. but, you know, we probably could've done all of that stuff without the rockets. if we had just wanted to. but we don't bother with inventing cool stuff unless it's for war. a whole lot of clever stuff was also invented because somebody wanted to get laid. such noble motives...
@lupyuen I would believe that but it seems to be a reoccurring theme in aircraft that poor decisions are praised. There's no real reason for windows except for the cockpit and the other windows are structural weaknesses because of the difference in physical properties.

@thor They could always use a series of smaller circular Accelerators and potentially a modified circle twisted at a calculated rate to achieve the same result.
