Does age make you give worse blowjobs?

Plants don't actually use up all that much CO2. An entire greenhouse worth of plants wouldn't even consume as much CO2 as your body produces. Most oxygen produced on earth and CO2 consumed is done by algae. Land plants like trees can sequester more CO2 because they grow larger and use it to build their bodies but they do so slowly over the course of years.

So I guess plants don't suffocate in greenhouses for the same reason that you wouldn't if you sat around in a greenhouse. There is enough air infiltration through cracks and gaps in the walls that sufficient air gets exchanged to keep it breathable.

To remain in a liquid state CO2 needs to be kept under several hundred PSI of pressure and kept fairly cool. Even at only 40F CO2 boils at about 550 PSIG. In above ground tanks you need to worry about elevated ambient temperatures and if that CO2 tank gets to be over about 88F then that CO2 just straight up can't be liquified. Above 88F you suddenly have a tank of supercritical CO2 which gets a bit more interesting to store for various reasons.

The deep ocean it actually a fairly ideal place to store liquid CO2 because it is cold and already under an immense amount of pressure.

You're over 30?

Did you skip the part about wearing a heart monitor for a week? That isn't something I did on my own, that was after I talked to my doc.

Just use an ad blocker.

Don't worry. A lot of places are also trying to privatize their public transportation.

Ah, yes. I too enjoy staging my road tripping vehicle like an interplanetary rocket.

It's really easy to tell if a tourist is american. Just get caught while trying to pickpocket them.

That still requires a turbine to turn the steam into electricity. If turbines are the shortage then nuclear doesn't solve the shortage.

If microbes are the concern then A UV system is going to be a whole lot cheaper in the long run. The UV bulbs in those are usually rated for 1 year of continuous use and if you only run it when there is a boil warning then it'll last much longer than that. It looks like one of those will run you right about $100 which pays for itself pretty quick when compared to the cost of the more expensive filters.

They just want to bring back porno mags because the old gezers keep getting viruses trying to find it on line.

 

TLDR - I got my hands on a cold oxygen plasma generator for preventing biofilm in ice machines; could it help food last longer in my fridge or will it mess up my food?

I'm a refrigeration mechanic and recently while decommisioning some old ice machines I found one with a functional Luminice II module in it which I snagged. Generally nobody in my area orders icemachines with this optional module. With our water quality limescale becomes an issue and necessitates cleaning far far more quickly than biofilm so they generally aren't worthwhile here. So I have no experience with these modules.

From what I understand they use a UVC bulb to generate cold oxygen plasma which is then pumped through the ice machine to kill bacteria. At least from what I've heard they work really well. I've been trying to think of places I could use it and it occured to me that I could pump cold oxygen plasma through my fridge to kill any microbes in there and therefore potentially make my food last longer in there. At the same time though, food is also often made of cells so I'm not sure what effect cold oxygen plasma would have on my food long term. Maybe I would just be turning my fridge into an instant produce spoiling machine.

This isn't really an issue that needs to be solved but I like tinkering and it would be cool to have a self sanitizing fridge. Is this a bad idea?
