Have you worked with hydrogen? Being less prone to leaving than He is an extremely low bar and very far away from the claim that it doesn’t ever diffuse through

Have you worked with hydrogen? Being less prone to leaving than He is an extremely low bar and very far away from the claim that it doesn’t ever diffuse through anything.
- IntrepidWorm 5y agoDiffusion works both ways, too. Oxygen outside of the membrane will also slowly diffuse into the hydrogen and helium mix, further complicating any attmpts to remain non-combustible.
- bernulli 5y agoSure. And none of this prevents hydrogen from escaping.
- beervirus 5y agoThat’s true, but it isn’t a claim I made.
- bernulli 5y agoNo, but the post I replied to, and apparently you felt the urge to reply to my comment. But I now understand that you did not intend to contribute to the discussion, thanks for the clarification!
- beervirus 5y agoThe comment you replied to was mine though…
- bernulli 5y agoI didn’t realize you were daniel-cussen - but it looks like you’re merely overwhelmed by how a forum works. That’s fine, but maybe dial down the smugness.
- beervirus 5y agoClick on your comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29096388 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29096388 Then click parent. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Smugness indeed.
- bernulli 5y agoOne day you'll understand how a thread works! Don't give up hope!
- beervirus 5y agoI’m guessing you didn’t click like I suggested.
- bernulli 5y agoThat's true, I hope you're not waiting anymore. If you want to understand this thread, I suggest you start at the start. Hint 1: I gave you the name of the person I answered to. Hint 2: No matter how often you repeat it, it wasn't you. Hint 3: Maybe it helps if you draw a flow chart of the different statements in the conversation! But, see, don't worry. Because you jumped into a conversation between the post I replied to and myself, I assumed you had to add something to that conversation. I realize that I was mistaken and you just swooped in to offload some unrelated fun fact. My bad, won't happen again!
- beervirus 5y agoThe comment you replied to was mine. It was this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29094670 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29094670 Yes, there was a higher level comment from someone else. But it wasn’t the one you replied to.
- bernulli 5y agoWhat can I say. Maybe drawing that flow chart really would be helpful for you. It's a valuable skill, being able to follow a thread or a conversation, and trying to understand the back and forth between statements and arguments may come in handy some other time.
