>Go out to where? It's gong to have to overcome the pressure of the physical bottle, which is going to be way over 1. The gas will go into the bottle. The squeezed bottle will just be filled with CO2 to the point of deforming until it either reaches the equilibrium pressure. Of course if you remove almost all the air the CO2 will escape the soda but the pressure in the bottle will not go over one atmosphere so you have perfectly flat soda.

>Let's use the example of a metal bottle, how does a drink go flat in a metal bottle without any air in it? You don't even need a metal bottle, just use a normal unopened bottle, how does a normal bottle of coke go flat? It doesn't since there is only a tiny amount of air for the CO2 to go into.

The CO2 doesn't go "into the air" it goes "out of the soda" which may seem a small difference but it is the gas pressure in the bottle that keeps the CO2 dissolved and this the soda carbonated. If you placed that in an open vacuum with no air at all it would go flat even faster because of the pressure differentiall. (There is less pressure holding the gas in solution) the CO2 will continue to leave the soda until the gas itself builds up enough pressure to hold what's left in solution. If there is a lot of air in the bottle it will take less CO2 to build up that pressure. If you remove the air it will take more CO2 to build up that pressure. Squeezing a bottle didn't reduce its volume, only the volume of air inside that must be filled by CO2 if it is ever going to reach equilibrium pressure. If you squeeze a bottle from the store before opening it you will know how much pressure it takes to keep CO2 in solution for "full carbonation" there is no way for a bottle with the air evacuated will resist anything close to that much pressure so as the CO2 is released the bottle will start expanding to accept the CO2 but there is not enough CO2 to replace all the air quizzes out do the dogs hours flat long before at reaches equilibrium pressure.

Was coming here to say this, when I moved into my apartment, I took pictures of every square inch of the place. Then, I emailed the pictures to the apartment complex. That way, you have a time dated proof if anything was damaged upon moving in so they don't try and blame you for any pre-existing damage. Even take pictures of the AC closet. They tried to get me for water damage that happened because of a leaking AC unit. I then directed them to the email I sent when I moved in, where I had picture's and even raised concerns about it. I was able to get my full deposit back because of that email.

Take pictures of everything when you move in. Then take pictures of everything when you move out. This will help if there is a security deposit issue. Have copy of all of your important documents (birth cert. Vaccination records, social security card) and keep them in a safe place that you can grab easily if you have to run or evacuate. Take time to enjoy doing nothing. It's OK to spend a whole day in bed once in a while.

Absolutely! Don’t call your parents the minute you have a problem. Seek advice from “seasoned” adults and/or professionals who have, most likely, encountered that problem before. Narrow down some good options and then tell your parents the problem you’re dealing with, and the options you’re considering. For example, if you realize you lost your credit card and you call mom in a frantic state, you’re basically dropping that problem on her. Or, you call and tell her you lost your credit card so you called the bank, and found out there were 2 fraudulent charges so they reversed them, cancelled that card and are reissuing you another. Now you’ve told her about the problem but showed you’re capable of handling it, effectively, yourself. * Also, by “seasoned” adult, I mean, not a twenty something. Ask an older person or someone in the business. Don’t ask someone with years and experience </= your own.

Nope. Leaving is actually always easy. You also NEVER know what comes next. Even staying and working with a flawed partner, who may not even realise how controlling their behaviour is, is a tougher choice, and not an always wrong choice. You seem strongly invested in narratives of irredeemable extreme narcissistic personality disorders, which are very rare, and even as a disorder there are people on the milder ends of the spectrum who can be helped not to be so controlling and steered away from manipulative behaviours. Sacrificing absolutely everyone's perfectly navigable relationships just because there are some people some people out there that are psychopaths is too severe a point of view to count as an LPT.

I think I agree with pretty much everything you said, but it seems like that supports the idea of removing any air or space for the CO2 to escape to.

By squeezing out the air you are effectively removing the volume of 1 atmosphere pressure for the CO2 to escape to. With the extreme case you are effectively increasing the atmospheric pressure to many magnitudes/infinite.

>The gas still inside the soda is going to continue coming out of solution until it reaches equilibrium with the pressure in the bottle but a lot more gas will have to come out before that happens because there is less air inside the bottle to begin with.

Go out to where? It's gong to have to overcome the pressure of the physical bottle, which is going to be way over 1.

Let's use the example of a metal bottle, how does a drink go flat in a metal bottle without any air in it? You don't even need a metal bottle, just use a normal unopened bottle, how does a normal bottle of coke go flat? It doesn't since there is only a tiny amount of air for the CO2 to go into.

What's your explanation for how an unopened bottle of coke doesn't go flat?

Make your bed every morning. Do your dishes every night. Change your sheets once a week. Divide the housework into wet and dry.

Dry is dusting top to bottom then vac or sweep. Get the ceiling and floor corners.

Wet is kitchen and bath. Once a week. Use DIY products to save$ and your health. Peroxide and baking soda for tiles. Dilute vinegar for everything else.

Newspaper as a “rag” and vinegar water to clean windows once a month.

This is essential self-care and self respect. Keep your home in order and your life will be better.
