Two obvious issues with this statement "Only problem is the amount of energy required to pump the water around, because you need to pump several million cubes of water just to get 1 ounce of gold."
-
I skimmed the technical article. You would have a finite amount of polymer for your "net/filter" and it would need the gold extracted periodically to reset it's filtering capability. This is assuming an infinite amount of time too.
-
The affect this pumping and filtering would have on the rest of the ocean. Will the filter capture only gold? Other minerals/metals? What about plankton and larger wildlife?
Going on the assumption that this could be successfully done in a reasonable amount of time without negatively impacting the oceans, gold would still be worth quite a bit at the beginning of this process. I am not sure why this would astound you.
With free energy, I am not working on extracting gold from the oceans. Plenty of other projects to work on like transportation, HVAC, food, water, etc.
Nice vid!
LLM summary for anyone interested:
The provided text is a transcript of a YouTube video from the channel Veritasium, discussing the security vulnerabilities in the SS7 signaling protocol used in mobile phone networks. Here's a summary of the main points:
- The SS7 protocol has been vulnerable to attacks since its inception in the 1980s.
- Hackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to intercept calls and texts, as well as track users' locations.
- The problem is not limited to individual devices but affects the entire mobile network infrastructure.
- Many auto manufacturers are using 2G and 3G SIM cards with SS7 protocol for emergency call buttons in vehicles, making them vulnerable to attacks.
- Despite the availability of more secure protocols like 5G signaling, many networks still use SS7 due to inertia and the need for compatibility with older systems.
- It may take another 10-20 years for SS7 networks to be switched off completely.
To protect themselves, individuals can:
- Use alternatives to SMS-based two-factor authentication
- Utilize encrypted internet-based calling services like Signal or WhatsApp
- Be aware of the potential risks and limitations of their mobile phone security
I went to the site. Written by a kook. She is a s mentally ill as the trans folks she thinks she is supporting. Here are a couple of the comments below her article:
Henry Two Door 6 months ago Ms Cieslik,
I hereby by assign you the following books for your summer reading list:
- The Bible
- The Catechism of the Catholic Church
- Any 9th grade biology book
We'd appreciate book reports on all of the above after Labor Day.

Oliver Kelley 5 months ago edited I am 37 and detransitioning. I am also an Episcopal and in RCIA to become Catholic. "Gender affirming care" did nothing but deepen my hurt and pain. It is a lie because ones gender cannot be changed. It was healing from Jesus and Father Mike explaining Theology of the Body that really started to get me in a better direction. I am working on learning to love the good gift of a body God gave me. I wish someone, anyone would have talked to me sooner - instead of the hundreds who encouraged my destruction.

Yes, Congress plays a crucial role in creating executive branch agencies. According to the Constitution, Congress has the authority to establish federal offices and agencies through legislation (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18, Necessary and Proper Clause). This power is exercised through separate statutes passed by Congress, which define the goals, powers, and functions of each agency.
The Supreme Court has consistently recognized Congress’s authority to create executive branch agencies, citing the Necessary and Proper Clause (e.g., Freytag v. Comm’r, 501 U.S. 868, 883 (1991); Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 138 (1976)). Congress can establish agencies, determine their functions and jurisdiction, prescribe qualifications and rules for appointees, and fix their terms and compensation (Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52, 129 (1926)).
While the President has some discretion in appointing agency heads and officials, Congress’s authority to create agencies is a fundamental aspect of the legislative process. The President’s role is to enforce the laws, including those created by Congress for executive branch agencies.
In summary, Congress creates executive branch agencies through legislation, exercising its constitutional authority under the Necessary and Proper Clause.
Down votes - no offence but maybe it's the attitude. Notice how I said "Not sure" above like "Hey, maybe I need to look at this more before making a snap judgement. Perhaps someone sees something I don't."
Your response to that - lump me in with "You people make us look bad".
No one wants to be told "reread your original comment." either, however look at your tone. No wonder there are down votes. No one said "you're wrong" to you on this thread.
I use the rechargeable Panasonic eneloops for AA/AAA, and the ternergy LSD (low self discharge) for D cells. These sit well on the shelf for months without losing much charge.
Don't leave alkaline batteries in your devices! They leak over time and ruin flashlights, radios, etc. Duracell and Energizer have sent me checks to replace maglites until I learned.

Buy once, cry once. I have been happy with these for years.
My Canadian friends come to the US for any serious medical issues.
