Okay in an open system you can pressurize water enough to cut things but in a closed tank how many times can it make a power fist smash people these are the questions that keep me up at night

But if you compress steam into a tank at a few thousand kpa doesn't it just become water? And isn't it generally impossible to compress water denser than it's liquid form? So how do we ...

Are there cases of admins noting people for having a middle name would be my question. Name policy seems to say humans should have a Firstname Lastname format but doesn't explicitly ban middle names.
