city, state, or national leadership should be required to play city skylines. (mander.xyz)
 

NOT POLITICAL NOT TARGETED AT ANY GROUP JUST A FUNNY, THOUGHT

I had this shower thought the other day. As the advancement of modern games and the complexities they have, we should require anyone in charge of leadership of a city, state, national level to play a game like City Skylines.

This is due to the amount of complexity and foresight one must have to navigate, build, and develop their cities people, infrastructure, etc...

This can help show if someone can even get their population happy, and above 100k, or if they put their sewer system upstream and pollute all of their people. If they do great then awesome, but if they don't .....well.... then they probably aren't the best fit.

What other games would be a good test or a fun test to see how they do?

Again.... funny random thought... not politically targeted...

What would happen if Yellowstone's 'supervolcano' erupted today? in c/science@mander.xyz

besides the huge crater that would form in that area, the ash cloud would shut down the United states for sure!

Can I throw away H2S-laced bentonite? in c/chemistry@mander.xyz
[–] RocksArentMinerals@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

is there no way you could seal the leak yourself? its usually considered non-hazardous, but i dont know the rules in russia. If it were me, and knowing H2S being a very dangerous and noxious gas, I would throw it in the trash. especially if there is a worry of getting put into trenches. hopefully this gets fixed by your maintenance people

Water Treatment plants commonly use Aluminum solution in coagulation in c/science@mander.xyz

thank you, that was actually a very good read. It brought up a lot of good information, that I didn't know before.

This article also talks about a lot of "hypothetical" or "in some cases" . What I'm curious about is there an exact diagram or in-depth understanding about how ACH reacts in certain environment's and conditions? thank you for your response!

Water Treatment plants commonly use Aluminum solution in coagulation (mander.xyz)
 

I have a question regarding the Niche field of water treatment. It's such a specific type of chemistry and understanding. That it often is misrepresented or misunderstood.

In water treatment commonly the ones using Alum or ACH (aluminum Chlorohydrate) . To coagulate and cause floc to form, using Van Der Waals effect. This form of treatment process has been around for awhile, yet there isn't much research or information on how it really works. Everything I found is just the concept's and a lot is left up in the air as a "mystery".

Does anyone have a good understanding of these processes or know of any sources that paint a clear understanding, and is backed by "science" in a sense?

He Who Fights with Monsters. (LitRpg) Anyone else read/listened to this? in c/books@lemmy.world
[–] RocksArentMinerals@mander.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

thank you, I am new to Lemmy and have yet to figure out how to do the spoiler tab correctly. I'll try to remedy or edit my post!

I didn't think i would like it either due to the sudden shift, but this faster paced "catch-up" that book 4 seems to be doing has kept me engaged aswell. I also agree with you on the "serious" part

He Who Fights with Monsters. (LitRpg) Anyone else read/listened to this? (mander.xyz)
 

I've been on this LitRPG kick lately. I've listened to dungeon crawler carl, and now I'm on "He Who fights with Monsters" book 4. Where Jason, has been transported back to his original world earth.

Am I the only one who didn't really see that coming?! at the end of the third book, i realized that something would happen. Coming back to earth actually surprised me.

Also does or did, anyone feel like it shifted the tone or pace of the book?
