sucking all the moisture out of the environment will have no impact on the eco system, right?
Pretty much, since you pretty much put it right back in. That's why you need so much of it in the desert. And why there's so little eco system there to damage.
How much water gets used up when you flush a toilet? That's right. None. There's no water shortage, it's a question of purity and distribution, not quantity.
I guess the telling would be to see how may gallons of water it can produce while floating on a fresh water lake, and on teh salty sea.
That's why this article caught my eye. I do bit of said floating myself and fresh uncontaminated water is a major problem.
Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.
Give me a one foot cube that can suck 5 gallons a day out of 50% humidity air, without electricity, for a few cents a gallon and I'll be a happy floating camper.

Wasn't France our friend once? I wonder if that's why Americans are expating to Moscow this go round, rather than Paris. Fear of being "liberated" again.
. . . if a man speaks in the forest and his wife is not there to hear him, is he still wrong....
Yes, but that's not the real issue. The real issue is that if a woman speaks in the forest and her husband is not there to hear her he's still to blame for not doing what she told him.
Yes, it will become more and more necessary as you'll be spewing out THOUSANDS OF NEW PROJECTILES PER SECOND. You're creating your own nightmare scenario.

And venture capitalists are supposed to be the people filling the niche between the two; using surplus private money to gamble on long shots that'll pay off big if they hit.
Corporations did not invent venture capital. Corporations were invented by venture capitalists to defray the risks of the riskiest ventures.
Then they learned that markets in paper can be manipulated to make money without doing a damned thing at all but selling paper and got all conservative.
I brought up square dance callers, not square dancers.
I was, in essence, supporting your point. I did, however, note that street rhyming is a traditional pervue of youth. It's history is many centuries old:
I'm a little Dutch girl dressed in blue, Here are the things I like to do. Salute the Captain, Curtsy to the queen, Turn my back on a big submarine!
If ya wanna learn to rap, hang out on the street corner with eight year old girls, but be careful about the modern witch hunters. They see witches everywhere.
Yeah, little Bobby was in his early 20s when he sparked rap, however, it was mostly teenagers who took that and ran the streets with it.
Of course before Bobby we just called it "Talkin' Blues," which Bobby got from Woody. Nobody's really sure where Woody got it from. Some even credit him with its invention, but:
Before that it was square dance calling.
Before that it was called poetry. What the hell happened?
But the barn swallow typically migrates within within 100 feet of the ground.
Even more impressive is the behavior of the Wandering Albatross which can fly for days at a time within a wingspan of ocean waves (albeit their wingspan is about 10 feet). They can do this even during a full gale.
So how do they avoid crashing?
They soar. Wings generate lift just because they're there and under the right conditions a bird might well increase its altitude while napping.
As a wave moves through the air, or air moves over a hill, it compresses and rises. Thus a sleeping bird may find itself safely carried over variations in surface hight without having to do a thing. It's called "slope soaring."
I don't think anybody would seriously try to argue that alcohol directly is connected to earning power. I'd like to hear a coherent argument in favour though.
Rob Walker, scion of the Johnnie Walker family and Formual 1 empresario, used to list his profession on official documents (including his passport) as "Gentleman." He used the term in a technical sense; one who has sufficient money that he doesn't need to sully his hands with money, other people both providing and spending it for him on his behalf.
Of course he wasn't the one doing most of the drinking that led to his wealth. ..
