Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

that's not how thermodynamics work. do you think a cryogenic liquid stays at cryogenic temps by itself? even in a storage dewar there's heat transfer.
Strawman. Yes, liquid nitrogen requires energy to create. Cryonics facilities do not usually generate it but instead buy it, it's very inexpensive and the heat transfer is tiny because dewars are closer to a vacuum and liquid nitrogen is cheap. A human bicycle could power most Cryonics facilities indefinitely (yes they do have these on site). They have perpetual funds which the first failed Cryonics attempts did not. They do not cool refrigerant via electricity on site. I abbreviated this explanation because I thought it was obvious but apparently not. My point is the entire structure of modern Cryonics is not anything like what the article depicts, it's a strawman talking about 50 years ago. Nobody in this thread has the slightest idea how they operate and is just a big misinformation circle jerk unfortunately with dozens of upvotes.
No, I'm not trying to convince anyone "it works!", literally combatting egregious misinformation including your strawman.
I do not believe that entropy acts in reverse, but I am also highly qualified to understand that statement, I'm going to say top 1% or higher. I wouldn't usually say it but you questioned my comprehension and I answered it with a (mostly) straight face too.
aaaah but you are an expert it seems? where did your expertise come from? genuine query.
would love to see evidence of this.
Do you think you're reading a serious comment?
