Not a photo buuut motivational

What do you do when you are at the drive thru window at the coffee shop full of hipsters/man buns and ironic clothes and Fire Woman by The Cult comes up on your truck playlist? I have no idea what you would do but I turned it up enough so we could all enjoy it.

Saw them live at Red Rocks 90ish.
 
You wouldn't know it to look at him, but the little old man in the center of this photo was one of the toughest Jarheads ever.
In 1942 when he was only 14, Jacklyn "Jack" Lucas enlisted in the Marine Corps after convincing the recruiter he was 17.
Posted to a depot unit at Pearl Harbor, Jack was bored and wanted action, so in January of 1945, he rolled up a combat uniform under his arm, sneaked out of camp, and stowed away aboard a Naval Transport that was taking 1st Battalion, 26th Marines, 5th Marine Division to Iwo Jima.
Not knowing what to do with him, the Marine battalion commander busted Jack one rank, then assigned him as rifleman to C Company. A few days later, Jack turned 17.*
The day after landing on Iwo Jima, Jack dove on top of one Japanese grenade then pulled another beneath him. The blast ripped through his body, but saved his comrades.
It took 21 surgeries to save him, and for the rest of his life carried in his body more than 200 large pieces of shrapnel.
On October 5th, 1945, Jack Lucas received the Medal of Honor from President Harry Truman in a ceremony on the White House lawn. He is the youngest Marine ever to receive the nation's highest honor.
He then returned to high school.... as a freshman.
After college, Jack entered the Army as a Captain in the 82nd Airborne, and survived a training jump in which neither his main chute nor his reserve chute opened.
Two years before he died in 2008, Jack was honored by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Michael W. Hagee, who presented him with a Medal of Honor ceremonial flag at the Marine Barracks in Washington, D.C.
It was during that ceremony that this photo was taken.
Semper Fidelis.

Great book by him. " Indestructible"
 
Neither of you know what electrolysis is....

Electrolysis is defined as a process of decomposing ionic compounds into their elements by passing a direct electric current through the compound in a fluid form. The cations are reduced at cathode and anions are oxidized at the anode. The main components that are required for conducting electrolysis are an electrolyte, electrodes, and some form of external power source is also needed. Additionally, a partition such as an ion-exchange membrane or a salt bridge is also used but this is optional. These are used mainly to keep the products from diffusing near the opposite electrode.
You're right, it's galvanic corrosion, not electrolysis. It's a common misnomer in the plumbing world However, it does occur between copper and ferrous metals, with brass being a good intermediate metal.
