How are you Owlvis?

I'll be back in a bit - trying the aluminum foil experiment.

I agree, let's hash this out. Cover your bottle with tinfoil and use your phone, I bet the pops disappear.

I'm not a tin foil hat type - at all.

The pops and crackling correlates to two things - handling OR nearby cell phone use (and it only seems to be my cell phone, which of course is no surprise)

Restaurants close all the time, it is a risky business. This has zero to do with increasing the minimum wage towards a living wage.

I'm not in the mood to debate this issue but what I just said is a fact.

Actually, "chasmania", it is due to laser snipers positioned at various places outside your home shooting at the bottles with micro-precision green lasers. These shots last only a fraction of a second, therefore they are very difficult to see, but if you stare at the bottle constantly and minimize your blinking intervals, you are "more" likely to actually witness the shot. Also, setting up the observation in a dark room will increase your odds a little.

My advice is to do some observations over the next few nights and try to establish a pattern of the shots. From that pattern, you may be able to determine a genera; direction from where they are coming from. Then you can set of screens to block those shots.

I'm not some nut. Lasers - no.

The water changes temp too as it acclimates to room temp...especially if out of the fridge...this causes the air in the bottle to be diff temp that air in room...these differences cause slight changes in pressure that the

cannot overcome.

This makes sense and that is good information. But, why does it occur whenever I am nearby on my cell phone?

Not much, he was mean to me.

ETA: Sort of mean but he was also honorable so that counts as good.

Have you gone to the help board to give your support for unbanning rehteah yet?

---

No. You would think there would be tons of support. Nothing racist. Nothing mean. No name calling.

Air pressure changes when the temperature changes.

One way to think of this is if you increase the speed of the molecules –by increasing their temperature- the force of the molecules hitting their container increases and this increases the pressure. This relationship is called Gay-Lussac's Law and makes up part of the ideal gas law.

---

I appreciate the science but there are no temperature changes inside my house.

The bottle has 1/3 or so full and pops and crackles, fifteen minutes after I've touched it and there are no temperature changes.

I hope you can further explain, I'd like to think it is not something heinous.

One of the dopest things ever is putting bottled water in the freezer and it doesn't freeze solid but when you crack the top it freezes into slush from top to bottom

---

How long do you leave it in? Otherwise, it would freeze solid.

Sure about that?

I'm positive.

It makes noise when you squeeze it because the plastic is thin, but it does NOT make noise when it is sitting there on the table or desk unhandled unless something else is going on.
