Can you post a link to the article?

Not likely based on population sizes and growth.

In a similar vein, I've read that singing rather than speaking your words can help.

Plate needs to push against something solid.

Just recently scientists have developed a way to get around needing plant sugars to grow single cell organisms for protein. https://www.fastcompany.com/40446692/these-scientists-have-discovered-how-to-use-electricity-to-make-protein-from-co2 We'll get there

What kind of speed did your friends get? I'm hoping to find something I can use to get to or from some of the more distant islands around the state with. At least half of the trip the wind is likely to be cooperating well enough. Looked at kytoons, might be an idea. TIL, Ben Franklin flew kites without his clothes.

I'm thinking it'd be too difficult to coordinate the two simultaneously. I do like the look of the kite sails though. Smaller but with height and cooperating winds, can reach impressive speeds. I did price out the floating sail idea and didn't look too crazy price wise, especially assuming a longer trip to make the helium purchases worth it.

I've mostly been thinking about trying this for my kayak. Lots of time to think while paddling and very little else to think about than ways to not have to paddle. Main benefit would be the zero effective weight of the mast/sail and to avoid some of the issues that a fixed mast imposes. There are small existing kayak sails and people have even rigged up kite sails, but trying to think of something that hadn't been done before. Hadn't considered the balloons moving relative to the boat as well though. That might be a problem or reduce the speed advantage too much.

Da, the artificial production of Oxygen from CO2 is one milestone that has been achieved in my own lifetime. Previously we were looking at intensive ice mining operation or being dependent on plants/algae.

Any thoughts on the feasibility of using a sail kept aloft by balloons rather than a traditional mast?

Going to take some getting used to but glad to see this.

Though a falling banana didn't set Henry Cavendish on the path of weighing the planet, his family would later lend their name to one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Cavendish#Biography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Cavendish,_6th_Duke_of_Devonshire#Other_interests

What are people's opinions on passive humidifier setups? I gotta say the static shock gets me every time visting relatives up North :|

Could pump the air out. Would add to the cost though.

There are cheeses and then there is Horace. Now Horace doesn't have the flavour of the Lancre Blue* or the pungent aroma of a Sto Plains Running Goat. No, Horace is an entirely different sort of cheese altogether. Few Cheeses have ever become a member of the the Nac Mac Feegles. Even fewer have taken part in history as Horace has. When a petty Überwald dictator sought to bring back the Evil Empire, there was Horace ready to lend a hand** to the resistance. During a cave in at the famed crystal caves, Horace was the first ones to volunteer to help the goblin miners. That's Horace for you. He's one heck of a man***. *Not that anyone would dream of eating Horace. **Not that Horace has hands. Nor any other appendages. ***Horace is in fact a cheese and nobody is really sure how he does any of this.

Just a few cells managing to migrate a bit. Not sure what reproductive cells would do, probably conditions wouldn't be correct for them to still work fully though.

Ah oops. Misread part.

A full refrigeration system like what Fiveworlds is describing will cost, but something with only chilled water/icepacks can provide cooling as well at a fraction of the cost. Summers have been increasingly brutal lately. I was actually looking at buying one myself the same day you posted. Yeah, it might be able to work. There's some top of the line ones out there. Now I'm curious where you were at that you needed one. Mainly for folks who can't be rotated out easily.

Ah, okay.

Cooling vests are 1-200 hundred. They might need something more costly though to keep bulk down.

Sometimes makes sense factoring in the cost of a soldier. Training, benefits, recruiting cost. The pay is low, but everything else adds up. $75 dollar trays? I've seen disposables used for water conservation. Not sure of cost though. We could skimp on some of the training exercises or pay however much to bring water out there though. I do agree, our government employing PMCs to be foolhardy. Think we would have learned from Pinkerton :/

We now know where Goat Simulator gets their ideas.
