Reply to Is prepaying your rent a smart idea? by MailsDavis
do you get a discount or something? otherwise, it makes no sense at all to even consider this, unless you're going to be tied up somehow and won't be able to actually pay it... going on a six-month trek in the amazon?

Reply to ELI5: why can't we use electricity to kill microorganisms in small amount of water ? by FreshT3ch
depends on the water. 'pure' water is actually an insulator, so that wouldn't work
if it has ions dissolved, e.g. SALT (not sugar!) or SOAP (don't drop the radio in the tub!) then it becomes a conductor and then, depending on what is IN the water, might kill it
but then you're left with ionised (salty, soapy, other) water full of muck
just boil it dude.

well then the files would be smaller... only 18 bits per pixel? well that's not that much actually (only 262,144 possible color values), but is probably sufficient for the data acquired. idk, i'm not an astronomer :(
so 6 channels, but only 3 bits per channel?

of course there is. PNGs are great! JPGs ate my bane (i'm a graphic artist)
but now i wonder if the data-per-pixel will be ONLY 3 channel (RGB), 1 byte, or if it will have more than 3 channels, and will it have more range per pixel (2 bytes gives 16,384 levels of grey per channel instead of only 256... much more nuance and detail.
i should probably look it up instead of speculating lol

yeah, humans are to blame for that
