    Does anyone think that this will really work?

    I actually am pretty sure they've got the chemistry wrong - it's short chain/single carbon alkanes, not hydrogen gas. But I know such contraptions are real in theory - my mom's uncle had one that he used on his farm to power a tractor during WWII.

      "Gasification" sounds like a made up word.

      Just reading it makes me think of The Santa Clause when that one elf yells out "The de-Santafication process has begun!"

        The biggest thing wrong I see with it is the price. Seems way too much for a simple gasification vessel.

          It's always kind of depressing as the LinkedIn requests roll in after a big round of layoffs.

            I have been getting some random requests lately. Like the only connection we have is BYU undergrad and I have no clue who these people are.

                  I don't understand this story at all. The Dad continues to say she is in danger due to her having the mental capacity of a 5 year old. How many of would let your five year old go to city creek alone?

                        Some day I'd like to write a super spy thriller novel where the protagonist actually does believe in coincidences.

                              Mormons and Catholics of Arizona and Colorado: Y'all have two weeks...
