From Filtered Water to Smart Air
overstated:
bought me a big ol' bag of chocolate-covered peanuts and gonna eat 'um all up, but something about doing it while drinking apple juice just doesn't feel right. usually i do it with coke but I've been trying to avoid coke lately.
Speroni M:
apple juice is such a wussy drink. it makes ya sound all kiddish and wiw
overstated:
it's like what toddlers drink through those special glasses with the lids and the funnel thingies - the transition from bottles to 'grown up' cups - big yellow plastic toddler lidded cups fulla apple JEE-OOSE
Speroni M:
be a man and get some ornj jewce, or be an ol' man and get some grapefruit juice.
overstated:
or just be an amurkane and get a coke
Speroni M:
or a buhd layht..OR you could be a hippy and drink water
overstated:
I could be a yuppy hippy and drink bottled water...OR an economically minded yuppy hippy (yippy?) and buy my own water purification system for house water..attach shit to my faucets
Speroni M:
we have something like that here only it's not on the sink
overstated:
yeah so did i when i lived with Cassandra. she even had one on the shower spout to filter the shower water.
Speroni M:
it's like a little container w/a filter and you pour the tap water into it and over-time it filters it up. but since I drink like 1/100th of a glass of water a year, I don't really have much use for it.
overstated:
yeah she had one of those too, so we had double filtered uber water: filtered out of the tap, and filtered in the big jug thing
Speroni M:
er, that much filtering, you'll end up distilling it into its essence. You'll drink straight hydrogen and oxygen gas. somehow filtering it will split the atoms, and I guess you'd have some minor pollution getting into the water when you transferred it from sink to filter jug. Little air particles and such. Plus it'd pick up some of the molecules from the plastic it touched.
overstated:
thinking about that..i sort of think the way they teach chemistry in school is really dumb. the way its taught you end up with the notion that things are actually separate. a tree is a tree and it's made up of 'tree atoms'. sure we know 'tree atoms' are mostly Carbon, but we still have the notion that "tree" is totally and unarguable separate from "shoe".
Speroni M:
well, a tree is made of a substance which is made of molecules which are made of atoms, all fused together to make the "tree"..I dunno what "wood" is. the molecular structure is probably different in types of wood, but I dunno. seems like it would be. differences don't just exist simply cos Jaysuz said "Oak trees is diffurnt from cedarz!"
overstated:
prolly, but still there is really no difference between tree and shoe..they are connected constantly. like through air..air is a substance..we 'swim' through air constantly, but we never think about it that way cos it's just 'always there'..but air is made of molecules just like trees and shoes are, and there is a certain amount of connectedness between tree molecules and air molecules..and likewise between shoe molecules and air molecules
Speroni M:
and things we find on other planets are made of the same molecules as the stuff we have on earth (allegedly). so that means all things originated from one source, I guess.
overstated:
my dad doesn't think so
Speroni M:
even tho they've allegedly found evidence to support that claim?
overstated:
the one and only time he has ever spoken something philosophical/theoretical/interesting to me in my whole life, he said he thought it was stupid that people assume that if there is life on other planets, that it must be made of the same stuff we are made of..he said that we have gas, liquid, solids...but maybe somewhere else there's something different.
