Suppose you time-zap a modern physics curriculum on a solarpowered computer tablet to any shortly-pre-Galilean era and observe their reaction to the course notes. In that era, plenty of fields required mathematics, engineering and architect

I never claimed desalination (which is energetically expensive) is necessary, I claim both throttling of Panama Canal traffic and fresh water loss are unnecessary. Is saving shipping fuel or saving freshwater during a drought that is expec

If the courts consider these cease and desist orders authoritatively valid, does that mean all notary services are under threat?

I never claimed they were? thats what you would have to do to recover the lost fresh water. In order to compare apples to apples, I compared the costs of allowing the fresh water to be lost to the ocean, and then desalinating an equivalen

Imagine a driver on the highway observing a prominent vehicle (perhaps a big truck, or a fancy sports car) systematically veering too much to the left say, at least according to the observing driver. Now imagine the phenomenon where the obs

But that is also basically what most intellectual jobs are, workers telling their boss what to do while pretending they are receiving and executing commands.

Thats false, the rainwater never fell to the ground and teleported to the ocean. Just consider the nearest rivers near you, now imagine someone diverting the river upstream to form an artificial lake (let's ignore the other environment

Artificial lake water from rainfall is fresh water! now check for "rainfall" I don't understand why people actively go out of their way to downvote and criticize people who merely point out its entirely unnecessary to waste

As long as there is no shortage of freshwater locally, it would be fine. They are throttling Panama Canal traffic to conserve water during El Nino drought, as posted by @evil-olive: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/economy&#x2

Its not that difficult to do it while in use, you just construct a parallel lock next to the existing ones that can remain in use. It's even possible to upgrade a lock while in use, you just add new inlets and outlets for the new archi

If you have studied physics, its easy to see water locks can be operated with near zero energy consumption. What site? I was commenting on a youtube video. If you misattribute my comment as replying to something else, thats your superficial

This is why I think we should treat or reframe laws as formal systems, akin to Lean / Metamath / etc... : treat it like a database of axioms / principles and theorems with proof. As long as we don't we have to choose bet
