mircea_popescu: there;s a reason all bodies rot and no bodies catch fire.
mircea_popescu: thereby a lowball estimate of "heat to dispose of one" is probably in excess of 30MJ per capita, as opposed to the 1MJ originally estimated above.
mircea_popescu: this disregards any losses due to the aerogel part, which insulates, and also any further losses from "boiling is not enough", as well as passive loss of heat into your apparatus etc.
mircea_popescu: the cost of ~mere vaporization~ of the ~mere water~ in the "water soaked aerogel" composing a shithead is ~280kJ PER KILOGRAM.
mircea_popescu: from 5km to 10km, loses 13% of volume, gains 2x force.
mircea_popescu: davout it's a log. you are looking at the wrong side of this.
mircea_popescu: yes, but do teh math! doesn't get compressed ~enough~.
mircea_popescu: the reason deep things seem to raise "slowly" is because friction, which increases faster than the buoyancy force does.
mircea_popescu: the deeper a mol of gas is, the greater the buoyant force experienced by the flexible container holding it.
mircea_popescu: conceivable, yes. but much more distant. gotta load and then unload, move on land, meh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did you omit adding the heat to WARM water to vaporization ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile! container ship burns ~200 tons per day doing 25 knots. this means it covers 200 knots (go and return) out of 150 tons or so.
mircea_popescu: because why, thermodynamics is your friend and suddenly corpse isn't ~= water soaked aerogel ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand, the per-kg energetic cost of incineration is > 1MJ. this means 100 tons cost you over 100 GJ, or in fuel terms about a ton of gasoline. you can't be spending 1% by mass ffs.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "cheap mains current". it's expensive universally.
mircea_popescu: the correct move is to take the dreamers from the section of earth inhabited (land) to the section of land uninhabited (sea) with a minimum of dirt and contamination produced.
mircea_popescu: back in ro i used ash fertilizer, it was de-boned prior to packing.
mircea_popescu: biodisel would be winner if we were intelligent celenterates or gasteropodes. for mammals not so hot.
mircea_popescu: the problem with a dead idiot is that it converts upon dying from a large piece of excrement into a large piece of actual excrement.
mircea_popescu: something the "planning experts" germans never throught of.
mircea_popescu: the majority of the expense goes to making the corpse "Safe", sterilizing it.
mircea_popescu: the killing itself is a minor part of the problem. coupla cents budgeted at most.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's an ecological consideration. cheaper than burning etc.
mircea_popescu: yes, depth pressure will keep the plastic from popping ; but not from floating.
mircea_popescu: anyway. let it be plainly stated that current idiot's expectation they'll be shot is about as ridiculous as 1940s jews'. who the fuck can be bothered.
mircea_popescu: "my great-grandfather was clipper on a redditard disposition ship, beotch!!11"
mircea_popescu: "i wouldn't live on a place where reddit bags aren't visible from shore"
mircea_popescu: might well work yeah. stick in knee automatically at time of packaging.
mircea_popescu: this might well be a problem. will require some research.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not these. see, they only pop in 6 to 36 months when they're well outgassed.
mircea_popescu: will replenish the cod off cape cod something fantastic, too!
mircea_popescu: well what, you're not taking them on a fucking cruise. coupla hundred knots offshore.
mircea_popescu: can even have hello kitty or kek flag or whatever the fuck warhol can paint the dreamers require.
mircea_popescu: this method allows perfectly dehumanizing death, safe transportation, slow release, it's the proper continuation of lime pit.
mircea_popescu: redditard already buried more than his ass is worth in resources.
mircea_popescu: and a coupla kgs of plastic WAY cheaper than 10kg chain + 50kg brick
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't want to feed the fishes too much at a time.
mircea_popescu: there's more tolerance built into the pack you know, than into the skin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform plastic dun pop. hence your coca cola bottle.
mircea_popescu: sea dumping in plastic wrapping ensures they dissolve over time, sort-of like a slow release pill for the ocean.
mircea_popescu: build vacupack units, keep them fed with biomaterial (plastic, schmucks), dump the results at sea. a 100tdw ship should be able to carry 1mn of the shitheads at a time.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: which i expect is by now pretty butthurt out of sheer hunger.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ahahaha what the fuck, anyone even supports the "inclusive" pantsuit aggenda ?
mircea_popescu: (entirely possible the ro commies read the book and never heard of nansen, but anyway)
mircea_popescu: (nansen was a grandiosely misfortunate norwegian that eminently didn't get to the north pole TWICE, nearly died each time)
mircea_popescu: coolant is over boiling point as it is. pressurized systems.
mircea_popescu: has fan. also, with the modern items... oil temp sits put at optimal throughout. well overcooled.
mircea_popescu: you're just trying to answer basic q "sunspot y/n mega storm y/n"
mircea_popescu: ok, still measurable. have a km of cable coiled in between plastic foils, buried superficially, there's your mega array.
