This is not true. Given that temperature and co2 rise sync with each other(still debated) and OA are fairly synchronous, the steep decline and subsequent rise in temperature from appx. 8400ya - 8000ya(Vinther, B., et al., 2009) exceeds what

Great point! I should have phrased that differently.

The base chemicals that my friend had to mix/boil/alter may get regulatory approval, but once he is done with the lab work the test batch was shipped and in short order the full amount. I specifically asked him if there was any te

I cannot find my source, but even BPA free means they just coat it with BPS which is structurally and functionally similar. I suspect the toxicity studies just have not been done yet. I have a friend who used to work in the coatings lab for

I did not realize there is tracking of uptime for individual agreements. I think the status.cloud.google.com from the commenter I was responding to is a general uptime status for all users, correct? I checked out the GCP SLA and see that it

I do mean negetive liberty. I have never heard of the different types of liberty. Thank you for pointing that out! I need to point out that I do know the constitution was not written in 1776 even though I stated that previously.

Excellent points.

If the service is down for a limited amount of individuals I consider it still up. This does beg the question of how many constitutes "down". I think the nature of the problem and quantity of users affected is important.

Given the possibility of software failure, would it be wise to use multiple password managers? I have the feeling this is a .45 vs 9mm question that doesn't have a real answer. More software exposes risk of data being exposed vs redund

I suspect this is a native ad. In the jewelry world, people move massive amounts of jewels in and out of tuscon arizona during the largest show every year. They come from around the world. Tiffanys on the other hand, moved it 50 feet. Major

My favorite is Isaac Asimov: "Published in 9 of the 10 Dewey Decimal System categories" His scientific writings for lay people are amazing(World of Carbon comes to mind). He could string everything together so well.

I was trying to logically explain the reality of the situation. I would have a hard time trying to find sources that are going to admit to discriminating publicly. I cannot imagine that survey exists. I'm done.

I see no difference either.

If you think this is impressive, consider the Tuscon Gem Shows that happen every year bringing in almost unimaginable quantities of precious and semi-precious gems from around the world. Big retailers make deals worth millions there.

I should have phrased that differently. While it is still my opinion, in this context I should have phrased it: "The worst thing to happen to minority employment..." While your comment does not add much to the conversation, I appr

I have no idea how you got the idea that I support violent revolutionaries. I simply stated that the 13th amendment(Emancipation Proclamation implied connection) resulted in liberty. That liberty was justified by the constitution created in

No. What happened in 1776 was a Constitutional Republic whose amendment process led to the 13th amendment. Liberty is a good thing.

Just because a law makes it illegal to discriminate does not eliminate discrimination. In the United States small businesses account for the most employees. Small business owners do not hire minorities because they risk being sued when they

Hate to break it to you but the vast majority of people living in poverty in the united states are and have been white. The majority of government assistance goes to poor whites. Poverty doesn't discriminate. The bad jobs were not push

This looks to me like WeWork on a smaller scale. There is nothing innovative about borrowing money in a central bank facilitated bubble.

When referring to a species no longer existing in a region, it is usually referred to as being extirpated. The title taken literally, claims Malaysia has announced the species extinct, when in fact, it is not. It has been extirpated.
