Would be much easier if there was any kind of organised opposition within iran, but this is not the case and irgc know what they're doing

it's quiet because there's internet shutdown (19 days today) and iranians allowed to go on twitter only gaslight and emit the most disgusting propaganda you've likely seen in a while

if you want to avoid that, you have to either catch iraqi gsm signal from across the border, or use smuggled starlink and hope that neither EW specialist or drone notices you

i don't think that a washed out royal surrounded by iranian version of cubans from miami would be very consequential, however if you compare scale of political persecution between pahlavi and islamic republic eras, this makes savak look downright humanitarian, and i don't think he would be able to make situation worse either. if my calculator and judgement of sources is correct, then 43k dead protesters mean that islamic republic in two days outdid past 100 years of political repression, twice.

also, islamic republic heavily exaggerated pahlavi's brutality in their propaganda, especially early on. for example in constitution there's mention of "60000 martyrs" but even their own revised estimates for 1979 casualties are over 20x lower

if there was a way of faking presence of lower display, then you have free tv and extra screen

there's nothing wrong with 3rd party batteries, if it's worn down so badly that it no longer does the thing that it is supposed to then replace it, idk why it's a question. I replace mine when they're at 60% of original capacity

Your best bet is to just not engage with them when topics like that come up

real soon it will include any topic

you can't turn a gas into liquid by compression alone if temperature is above critical point, you also need to cool it down. separation is done by fractional distillation, but the reason it's done is mostly about oxygen (medical and steelmaking among some other uses). for nitrogen it's somewhere about -150C. first air is stripped of water and carbon dioxide, then it's turned into a liquid, then it's separated into oxygen, nitrogen and argon, and some large specialized plants also separate xenon, krypton and neon

if you don't actually care for it being a liquid, there's another method called pressure swing adsorption that separates gases based on how tightly do they bind to porous surfaces under pressure. this is how medical oxygen concentrators work

making liquid nitrogen is pretty efficient these days, as in not much more energy is used than is actually needed
