Oh, and you can't use tap or bottled water. Um... do you go to the nearest stream? Collect rainwater? What? She really is bad at explanations.

I believe she means "Don't just run the tap till the water is hot." Which I've totally done when I was just going to ice it.

Maybe well-water, if you have it?

Anyways, yes. I believe this quote is applicable:

Quote:
"Bloody vegetarians. I hate cooking for those people. 'Oh, please, I'll just have a dish of rainwater at precisely air temperature with an ounce of mother's milk on the side, and if it's not too much trouble, could you float a couple of violets on it?' "

Most well water is a bit nasty-tasting, in my experience, because of the pipes, which are usually old. The exceptions are lead pipes (tasty, but with drawbacks) and sometimes clay pipes (depends how the surrounding dirt tastes).

If she's actually worried about the DO (which is weird), I'm pretty sure you can fix that by shaking your water with air, so I really don't know why bottled or tap would be better or wise than anything else: either way you need to spend an extra step shaking it.

Doesn't the solubility of oxygen with water decrease as temperature increases anyway?

Or is it the fact that the waste products of anaerobic bacteria taste and smell terrible?

No, she specifically says to take some water that doesn't come from the tap, isn't bottled, and hasn't already been boiled, and then boil it in an electric kettle or using a hob. Which also means you empty the kettle each time, which wastes water.

So what source of water should we use? The tears of children? Morning dew? Your own piss? I like the Himalayan snow, but possibly Icelandic glaciers.

Wait, that makes sense! The reason the ice caps are shrinking and glaciers are disappearing is people using the water for tea!



EDIT: I live in the middle of a city. There are no wells.

In many parts of Australia, you have two taps in the kitchen. One is the usual pipeline to reservoirs, and is called tap water. The other, while still a tap, is connected to your own filtered rainwater tank, and is called rain water.

I figured they mean to use rain water.

I've dumped like 40 waking hours into following an LP of this game, and I still haven't caught up yet.

EDIT: oh, by the way, this is a Dangan Ronpa version of the following comic: http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=213

Take Phoenix Wright, make into a gruesome horror game, add awkward-looking metaphorical action sequences, and then never officially translate it because it makes Japan look even more messed-up than usual.

I assumed that she's talking about filtered water. i.e. tap water going through a RO or RODI water filter first. Which does noting to increase DO. I suspect that she's either got crappy tap water and improves the taste by removing dissolved solids, or is merely clueless.

Given that Oxygen doesn't taste very nice, I'm surprised that people try to keep in in before making tea at all. A chemist I used to work with only made coffee with boiled water for this reason. I may have to experiment.

It makes a beatbox (the caption on the listen button even changes to reflect that). To make it work:

  • Go to the Google Translate page
  • Paste this into the first box "pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv…"
  • Select German for the language on the second box.
  • Click the listen icon (which should now read "beatbox" instead of "listen").

I am german . . and it does not sound like beatboxing to me . . at all . .
Well, the problem is probably that last step, because my listen icon is still listen instead of beatbox . .

You have to translate "from" English "to" German. If you translate from (for example) Czech to German, nothing happens.
