What is the simultaneous sip and why is it important?
They even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains. All you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's about to happen now. Go. Go. Well, I dare say the luckiest person watching this show is the one who just said they're folding their laundry. There are very few forms of entertainment that go with folding your laundry better than this. It's really the ultimate laundry folding show. Well, let's talk about all the things.
We'll talk about some science and we'll get into the politics. I know you're waiting for it. But apparently scientists, according to interesting engineering, some Penn State scientists People found out how to get the lithium out of the ground, or out of the rocks, I guess, in a super efficient way. I didn't realize how hard it was to get lithium. You got to do stuff like drain a lake and work through the brine and all that. But apparently they've developed an electrochemical process, which is so efficient, it could completely change the economics and the mining process. So you can imagine that the U.S., for example, if they found this efficient way that apparently doesn't have a downside to extracting the lithium from ore, maybe we can do more of it in the U.S. without the mining that kills people. Well, as you know, refrigeration hasn't changed much in many decades, but now there's a new breakthrough. Thermogalvanic something. Thermogalvanic
Now, I don't know what that is, but it sounds impressive. And apparently it's really efficient and it's practical. So you might see a big change in refrigeration. That's kind of a big deal. If you think about how much air conditioning and refrigerating add to our energy load, imagine needing a lot less of it. The equivalent of how much you'd save in energy, it's got to be big. I mean, if your refrigeration cost went down by 50% for at least new stuff, pretty big. Well, I tried to... Oh, here's another one. According to the brighter side, and Mario Nuffall is talking about this, so scientists now have a drug that repairs myelin. That's the protective sheath around nerves. Now, why is that important?
Because if you can repair myelin, you can repair MS, strokes, and brain injuries. So you can repair nerve damage and brains. There might be a way to fix your brain. Because apparently that myelin repair is a big deal. It can even restore lost vision. and maybe other brain functions. Wow. So that's a really big deal if it works. So I decided to do a semi deep dive into the California water situation because I was trying to figure out, is it really true that all it took was Trump to say, turn that spigot and then suddenly California would have all kinds of water and we could do all the farming we want and Is that true? Because it doesn't feel like that could be true. So I asked some people and some people sent me two different threads which were explaining the water situation. And here's what I've learned. It's way too complicated for any normal person to understand. So if I started explaining, if I understood it, if I started explaining where the water comes from, where it's going to,
What the downside of letting too much out for each of the different mechanisms, so there's a whole different risk reward for everyone. Some is owned by the government, the federal. Some is owned by the state. Some of it has some... endangered fish problems. Some doesn't. Some has some potential flooding problems. Some doesn't. Sometimes they want to keep the water. Sometimes they want to use the water, depending on what the water's for. Is it drinkable? Is it only for something else? Maybe only for irrigation. And then there's the people who own the water rights and the farmers. Here's my final word on that. Can't tell. There's literally no way to know. For me, as an honest observer, I have no idea if Trump made any difference.
