Barring the fact that most pollutants aren’t that easy to deal with, I don’t think so. I think you’d suffer from a kind of Jevon’s Paradox of toxicity, where people would just dump more in, until whatever “ok” threshold previously existed would be breached, and you’d be left in the same situation, just systematically worse.
Fair enough, sorry. It’s just that your question (and some of your answers) don’t seem to be accounting for dealing with the volume change of steam, and how that would be managed.
Also the fact that if you’re evaporating the water off anyway, why not just let it escape and concentrate the chemicals, and then deal with them that way? I’d guess most of them would not be in the vapour anyway? (unless they’re volatile, in which case they’d probably boil off even earlier)
Re: Lava contact. I don’t think the resulting water vapour is much more than 100°C? The phase change takes a lot of energy to phase change, and is still at about 100°C after that, and then the steam would escape very quickly, and be displaced by more water, so it would not have much chance to heat up more. The lava-water interface would always be at about 100°C, give or take a few tens of degrees for the Leidenfrost effect, maybe? I might be wrong here, but I can’t see how it would get MUCH hotter than 100°C (assuming normal surface pressure).
sorry, thought I was replying to OP
Right… Have you considered that a basic order-of-magnitude estimate of scale of water, energy, and pressure requirements make the idea wildly infeasible in practice?
You COULD name names… Perhaps via Tor to a journalist
You could always regulate and ban toxics at the point of production or sale, before they get into the waste stream
You realise water boils at 100°C, right?
Edit: yes, I know it boils a different temperatures, but we’re talking about 500°C for a practical use case at scale here…
Man, fuck wet wipes. They are such horrible pollution.
Take some toilet paper and some sanitiser instead.
Go in with low expectations, and you’ll probably have a good time. Here’s some to start with:
You’ll be sore from walking. Sleeping might be uncomfortable or cold, or wet. Food will probably be crap, or hard to cook. Animals will freak you out in the middle of the night, or try to eat your food. You’ll smell like smoke (unless it’s a fire ban, then you’ll be cold). Taking a dump in the bush is not comfortable, even after you get used to it.
It’s type 2 fun though, so it’ll be good in hindsight. Also you’ll probably see a bunch of beautiful shit and maybe get to swim somewhere nice. Just gotta give it a go, and see if it’s for you. Personally I love it.
Is “nothing of value” the same as “no longer having any influence” though?
Sounds like you need a union
I don’t thing you can make others do that. Just be yourself as much as you can (I know that’s not easy for some people), and don’t be a dick, and it’ll happen eventually.
I think maybe coming at it obliquely is best. Don’t make it your main aim, because desperation is off-putting, but keep it in your awareness so that you catch it when it presents itself.
Personally I found doing stuff with others based around a common interest the easiest way to meet people who had a similar world-view. And from there it’s easier to stumble upon people who might find you attractive. Getting mutually excited with someone about a shared interest can be pretty attractive.
Well, even one is too many, and the number is much higher than one, so it still seems like a valid concern when running a service
Sooo… Narcissists are a type of vampire?
I reckon “polish american” means something like “culturally polish, but living permanently in america”
Beyond that, does it really matter? Labels are just shortcuts to give other a broad overview. Tell people what ever you want. You can always add more details later if you get to know them better.
There is no way to find text about anything without various biases and values embedded in it. You just need to approach reading with a critical lens. Obviously more critical in some domains than others.

Yes. Perhaps fairly chaotic for a decade or two, but then much better 😅
