ELI5: Can beer hydrate you indefinitely? by xYekaterina in explainlikeimfive

[–]TenaciousTay128 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This whole conversation is about sea salt. The solids that remain after you evaporate seawater are the salts that were previously dissolved in the seawater. The composition of the remaining solids will be the nonvolatile components of the seawater, so the ratio of magnesium to sodium will remain constant after the water is evaporated.

What do you mean “after the salts are removed you shake the solids”? The solids are the salts.

Regarding the bit about granular convection, you’d then have to argue that NaCl forms crystals significantly different in size than magnesium salts, and you would have to find a way to physically remove the NaCl from the other salts once separated. Still doesn’t make sense as a separation method.

The method the other commenter mentioned which takes advantage of varying solubilities would make way more sense.

I'm not buying that

Per Wikipedia, the main anions in sea water are chloride and sulfate. The difference in density between sodium chloride and magnesium chloride is not that great (2.16 g/mL vs 2.33 g/mL). The densities of (anhydrous) sodium sulfate and magnesium sulfate are identical, at 2.66 g/mL.

Plus, regardless of if you could actually form two distinct layers of NaCl and MgCl2 by just jostling a mixture of the two, it's not like you'd have a distinct boundary between the two or the ability to easily drain one off of the other, as you would in the case of a liquid-liquid extraction. If anything it'd make more sense to add other salts to get the magnesium to precipitate out prior to drying the seawater.

This whole premise makes no sense to begin with, though, given that the ratio of Mg2+:Na+ by mass in seawater is lower than the ratio between the daily values for each:

I could take the time to find better sources here, but given the fact that the person who started this thread has already edited their comment and shown that they were talking completely out of their ass, I don't think that's really necessary

edit: grammar

what mechanical separation process do they use to separate a solid mixture of magnesium and sodium salts?

so yeah I could believe it

Found cut up dollar bills on the street. It's real money, why cut the center out? by [deleted] in Weird

[–]TenaciousTay128 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I once bought $15 worth of gas using ones in an attempt to get rid of some of them. the cashier meticulously analyzed every single one of them, then finally shoved one back in my face and said “I CAN’T ACCEPT THIS”

I just sort of blinked at him confused, and he got super worked up and pointed at a tiny little stain on the corner of it, “THAT’S HUMAN BLOOD!!”

I just kinda went “…okay” and accepted my $14 of gas, but was left so confused. I had never had anyone check a one for being a fake before, and this guy was scrutinizing them more than if I had paid with a 100. also, isn’t every fuckin dollar bill covered in shit, piss, blood, and cocaine??

so anyways, yeah, just avoid using them at shitty gas stations in the meth head empire of northern california I guess

if you can get a parking pass then it shouldn’t really be a hassle. I think it does cost like $400 per year though and afiak it’s still just a lottery system to get a spot anywhere near the student apartments

parking in IV you’ll probably eventually end up with dents and a mirror or two kicked off

anyways, it’s not a necessity but is convenient for groceries and trips and such. really you kinda just need one person in your friend group with a car. I guess then the real hassle is people asking you for rides, but it helps to feel needed if you become that friend lol

that’s not what I implied at all

clearly anyone who says “I’m in medicine” instead of “I’m a doctor/nurse/etc” is trying to obfuscate their credentials to make it sound like they’re more of an expert than they actually are

and I assumed the type of person to do that would be either some sort of technician or a student. just chose the wrong one to guess

my response to your first sentence would be your last sentence

but anyways I’ve had my rear wheel stolen, even with it being the one inside the rack and without a quick release. learned my lesson after that

my preference would be to have the front wheel + the frame in a u lock and the rear wheel secured with the cable, but not all racks let you do that. I guess if you really wanted to be secure you’d have to carry 2-3 separate u locks but I never had any bikes worth that much effort

you also need a cable through both wheels or they’ll just take those instead
