Matty Yglesias posted a recollection on something called “The Voyage of The Mimi“. Apparently it was a circa ’80’s educational programming starring young Ben Affleck.
I had no idea what it was about until one commenter wrote:
“I’m fairly certain that to this day I understand the basic principles underlying the construction of a solar still to collect condensation and provide drinking water in case you’re ever stranded in the wilderness.”
At which point it all came flooding back. The ship, the parkas, the wreck, the possible hypothermia solved by stripping down and cuddling, everything I had seen in whatever grade and class it was we watched it in its full glory.
I wonder if the condensation thing actually works appreciably?
