Yes, when considered along with the corrective responses, it adds to the discussion. This is why it shouldn't be flagged and removed. On the other hand, it's factually wrong and would be misleading if people were to trust the cl

Appropriate natural caverns do exist, but are not common. One of the main differentiating factor between this approach and others is that they drill a man-made borehole rather than depending on finding a pre-existing cavern.

Interesting. There's a good video describing the operation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOWjwwKSR78 After watching it, I now understand that they aren't flooding the entire borehole, but rather are buil

It's there, but it's missing the word "Gerson" in the description so it's easy to miss. If you search for 3230 you'll find it: https://www.armbrustusa.com/blogs/mask-review/n95-gerson

Click on any individual mask, and it takes you to a separate page. On most of those pages, there will be a 5-7 minute video showing that particular mask being tested while Lloyd talks about the features of the mask.

Wow, this is fabulous! They spent almost $5000 to buy and test every mask available on Amazon. If you click on a mask it will take you to a page with the test details. More incredibly, most of the masks also have 5-7 minute video review!

If I'm understanding you right, I think I had equal confidence in the opposite direction. In my mind, responses always flow downstream. It's obviously not just you, but at this point I think the right conclusion is the concept

I think your criticism is mostly correct. The "defense" is mostly to say that the blame should be spread between the Bradford Pear, the birds that are spreading it, and the other species that are cross-pollinating it. It's

I'm not familiar with the design, but where are you getting the "millions of km" from? I didn't see that in the article, and my quick skim of the paper[1] suggested that that Ls (the length of the coil) would need to 200

I think your numbers are off somewhere. Maybe you are thinking of some particular form of pollution rather than fuel efficiency? Short trips before the engine warms up are less fuel efficient, but nowhere near only 1/4 as efficient.

Police officers were murdered. Could you defend this part of your claim with some links? You used the term "officers", which is clearly plural, and use the verb "murder", which has a specific legal meaning. I think

A good example, but unfortunately harder to follow than it should be because you accidentally wrote "3 * a + c" when you meant "3 * a + b". Unless you are making some very subtle point about uninitialized values? To make
