So wait, did you mix the liquid from B back into A?

If so the ratio of soda to water in A should be approx. equal to the ratio of water to soda in B, no?

This is one of the only things that annoys me about the leftist parties here. I agree with almost totally when it comes to the Green Party, but for some damned reason they hate nuclear so much that it's beyond ridiculous.
In the same sense that the business republicans have to placate its religious base so they have votes, the Green Party does the same for its hippie base. I used to be opposed to nuclear power because I was told it was harmful, but I'm not entirely sure that's actually the case, at least not with the technological advancements of modern power plants (essentially I couldn't find any research that nuclear power had any serious drawbacks).

Ideally (but this is far in the future) we'd harness energy from solar panels in orbit around the sound and that way we wouldn't have to worry about where to put nuclear waste. Or maybe it would be better to convert heat energy into higher dense forms so we're at least recycling the energy, but I don't even know the basics of thermodynamics so I'm just going to stop that line of thought right there.
This is probably how we'll get energy to earth and surrounding stations, etc. in the coming centuries, should we last that long. Although this would have to wait until we have at least a pretty decent foothold in space.

Even then when operations move deeper into space nuclear will become more efficient.
Well if you put the nuclear reactors in space then there's no longer an issue of where to put the nuclear waste (aim it at the Sun). But there's a proximity to the Sun where it becomes more energy efficient to use solar instead of nuclear.

Yeah I was basically saying the reverse. When you get a certain distance out there solar kind of loses the efficiency it had before, especially w/ a large operation that needs a lot of energy.
Aren't the heaviest elements closest to the Sun though? I don't see the point in deep space mining.
Well yeah for the most part. Mercury would be rich in them for example, good luck trying to mine that place though.

The gas giants though would be a great source of hydrogen and it's isotopes(for fusion and other uses), their moons, the asteroid belt and such bodies also contain lots of untapped resources, iron, carbon, even water.

Even out at the distance of the belt you'd have to consider the size of the operation you wanna run which plays into how much energy it would need. The extent of the solar array you'd need would play a major role in deciding whether or not you use solar power.

This is off the top of my head though, I may sit down tomorrow and do some calculations if I get the chance.

Pi isn't a finite volume. You're maths wrong.
Pi = ~3
3 =/= infinite number
rounding up don't count, butch.
Nigger, pi < 4.

4 is a finite value, therefor pi is a finite value. The number of digits doesn't make it not a finite value, just irrational.
The only thing irrational here right now is yourself.
Put that mirror down.

If someone eats meat they've got no right to complain about hunting. It's far more humane than grocery store meat.
Especially severing the head.

You'd be hard pressed to find a more humane way to treat an animal.
well, considering it was already dead when they started cutting it up,  that's already something not usually afforded when you are taken by most other predators.

And considering it was able to live ,for the most part, a natural life instead of the cramped quarters and shit conditions of factory farms. . .
That was what we call a joke.

Pi isn't a finite volume. You're maths wrong.

Are you trying to claim that pi isn't constant? Because it certainly is. Just because it's irrational doesn't mean it isn't a finite volume.
Then what's the final decimal of Pi?

Are you seriously trying to make the argument that non terminating numbers are infinite in value?
This thread makes me want to do a series of threads where I *try to help clear up some mathematical misconceptions the non-math plebs have.

Although I'm not sure how many views it'd get.

I'm down for it. You and Turkey Math-ifying the Serious forums would be spectacular
Tbh turkey'd probably be more suitable for it, not only is he better at math than me, I'm also not much of a thread maker, but I'm willing to give a shot.

I'm not huge on making threads, either. When I made this thread I was thinking something similar; if people responded well, I'd post more stuff later. Not sure what to cover next though.
I'm kind of hoping you might get into some higher math. Although like you said I'm not sure how many views that'd get, it's ultimately up to you.

I was considering doing one over misconceptions about irrationals, what w/ Assassin's comment and all.

I've been thinking of doing something like that for law stuff, but not much time or motivation.
