    "The CO2 is not being dissolved into the water to form carbonic acid, it is being added to hydroxide ions produced by electrolysis to form soluble alkaline bicarbonates."

    And it will bind itself to the acid water and create CO2 and we'll get a bubbly ocean.

  2. "I wonder if this is a cheap shot at Trump."

    I disagree. I'd call it an expensive shot.

  5. "the system was tested by tracking its own officers"

    There's your mistake right there.
    The cops didn't like that the system saw that they spend half their day in the doughnut-shop. Small wonder.

  6. ...lots of Tupperware parties.

  7. "I'm not sure about a wife with artificial intelligence."

    Une femme stupide est donc votre marotte ? - Tant, que j'aimerais mieux une laide bien sotte, Qu'une femme fort belle avec beaucoup d'esprit

    "sex offenders, suspended students, fired employees, suspected gang members, or anyone else placed on a school's "blacklist" enters the premises."

    Why not just have a list of people _allowed_ to be there, then the rest of the 7 billion people will raise an alert if they try to sneak in.
