I was curious too. The article mentions that Dubai’s old reverse osmosis systems rely on flash distillation which adds a lot of heat to the system and thus the brine being returned to the gulf waters.

“Unlike reverse osmosis, which removes salt and other contaminants by pushing water through a semipermeable membrane, multistage flash distillation relies on heat. Decades ago, when the U.A.E. began exploring desalination, the technology could better handle the Gulf’s high salinity, though reverse osmosis can now do the same. And although both technologies create brine, the byproduct of multistage flash distillation is far hotter, further disrupting the ecosystem.“

Lol. I did not get the reference at all. No wonder it didn’t made sense.

Do you have any context? We all do things for other people all the time almost every day. At least that’s how I see it.

Missing the real amazingness that is dim sum!

Well, you were right!

Does anyone have a good alternative to the G2 pens? They’re great pens, but the ink is so thick and wet that it smears too easily and frequently for me. I’ve been on the hunt for something nearly as good.

Is the most common language really Spanish? I thought it might be Mandarin.

Do you have any examples or recommendations of said third party tools you prefer?
