re: #215 calochortus

On an unrelated topic, the anchors on CNN were just reporting on repairs (or replacement perhaps) of a refrigeration unit on the space station and proceeded on to a bit of random chat about not understanding how you can cool something using propane. So cooling with electricity makes perfect sense but getting your energy for cooling from gas doesn’t?

Facepalm.

Could we require just a little tiny bit of science education? Please?

But but propane burns and that is hot…. How could that work?

We have science “debates” in this nation because the average American would fail a legitimate 10th grade science test (and that is American 10th grade for the average American kid). I don’t even like to think about how the Average American would fail 5th grade in any of the Western European countries, Russia, China or Israel.
