LOL this is the hilarious response of
“Oh yeah?! Don’t have anything better than putting a biased source of credibility attached to every article for no reason other than for people to use to dismiss articles and not read them?!
Well too bad removing it isn’t an option! Find me a different one cause it makes me feel good!”
said the minority.

Hmm… Is that true? It’s not like smoking bans are actually all encompassing its still mostly local precident and business decisions.
I am not sure I have seen someone smoke weed where they couldn’t smoke a cigarette, or where banned a cigarette smoker might illegally light up anyways, other than vapes which are still also in high contention and not exactly banned.

I think you just have a stigma and an axe to grind that specifically singles them out because of a internal problem you have.

Anyways, good luck with that.

Wasn’t in 2015 when I hit on a girl for helping me navigate the subway system.

I dunno I thought nothing was gonna beat the Olympian that was hunted down and set on fire by her Ex just earlier this month but yeah this beat it.

OK. Cool.

That has nothing to do with Japan and sounds like you just wanted to bring it up.

Maybe excitement I get when I speak Japanese even just OK is a beautiful thing compared to France and Quebec trying to speak French.

But I will say South Korea is racist as fuck and being white and talking to a girl will get you and the girl attacked but worse of all mostly the girl.

And yeah clubs, dating, and housing in Japan are not great but it’s definitely as with always a nuanced gray that is hard to explain to people who like a simple answer.

Maybe you are smoking to much and your paranoia is showing?

At least most tobacco users have the decency to not ruin enclosed public spaces for the general populace.

Because we banned them doing that just recently? And could and probably should do the same if any actual action or progress could be had these days?

Same thing I was gonna add…
It made me happy for a second to think we all agree and then kinda depressed that we all agree that Israel keeps attacking the volunteers just trying to help victims of their war.

If I had to guess the mods are getting a payment for pass through clicks or have some weird sense of superiority from feeling like they only read centrist publications that they have decided to push on everyone else.

But I’m going with the first cause they have given no reason not to think that.

WOOOSHHH

Is the sound the pun made as it just whizzed by you.

Oh but have you thought about the political leaning of the author though?

Poorly hidden ones for sure

You seem hung up on electricity being a literal function of this here. Expecting them to be a literal battery.

They said they knew how. The nodules have a potential charge, when touching it increases the charge which means it can separate the oxygen. There is already companies that are performing hydrogen separation without electricity on water.

The voltage potential is grabbing at the polar ends with likely a light chemical interaction with the zinc and other volatile metals present.

An exact process might not be here but the function here makes sense as long as you stop looking for direct current.

Edit: also this is not some rapid process this is a slow trickle. Nothing fancy just the physics of the world inspiring entropy.

What are you taking a test on this?

They are lumps of conductive metals that when touching create a small charge that is able to respond to the charge that is held by water to be able to strip the oxygen atoms off.

It’s just a bunch of them in series together finally surpasses the threshold, they just all hold a very weak charge potential individually my comparison to magnets was meant to just imply that they naturally hold a very weak charge that isn’t a strong force like a more direct applied method would.

I mean the article is being hyperbolic I think to try and sway opinion away from thinking it’s a good idea to mine these nodules.

We have a bunch of billionaires who are suddenly excited to go full Dune on the ocean floor for scraps of metal that aren’t currently on owned land and will fuck up the ecology just because it will finally make them more wealthy.

If it seems like there is grand mysteries and a impact on us instead of just all the low lying marine life it might get people to say it’s a bad idea and public opinion will get them to stop.

It’s just a shame that Shame doesn’t work as well as it used to to control people.

Chemical reaction that basically through charge split water into basic elements slowly through direct interaction.

Like a magnet never runs out of magnetism juice but isn’t nearly as strong as an electromagnet. These are just a bunch of metals that clumped together.
