In this case, I think people want to ban large-scale deployments of untested, unvalidated technologies with no definitive positive effect and a non-negligible probability of disastrous consequences. I myself am an atmospheric chemist and no

Albedo is included in every single atmospheric model.

Well they haven't tested any of their assumptions in the field and their atmospheric chemistry cycle diagram has some bullshit reaction mechanisms so it is pretty much shit. Also the following statement surprisingly lacks any mention o

There is no such thing as zero-order kinetics in atmospheric chemistry.

It's because that statement is incredibly wrong. Methane concentrations in atmosphere are 8 orders of magnitude higher than OH. More methane in the atmosphere has exactly 0 effect on OH. And you can't inject OH into atmosphere eit

That is just wrong. The list of happiest countries in the world is dominated by the rich countries.

The lamps aren't LED and you can't get to UV-C wavelengths in LEDs. Also 222nm is deep into the DNA damage spectrum so they aren't safe for living organisms anyway.

Having roommates in a 1 bedroom apartment is quite terrible. You then need to convert (if there even is one) the living room to a second bedroom and as a result no one in the apartment has any privacy left. I have lived like that, and it&#x

>two people being able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment within a 1 hour drive without traffic. My immediate reaction to this statement was.. it's insane? In my opinion it should read 'a single person able to afford a 1 bedroom a

Definitely not. Tons of non-english languages say month first.

But they already have a solution for this. They have a domain with the local country TLD for people who want that language. Why do they keep fucking with people accessing the english domain?

Having come across them in Japan many times, they can get as big as 10 cm across. Slightly less than a hand, but still extremely distressing when you run face-first into one.

I think the author is mixing up College (i.e. a trade school) and University (i.e. an institution of higher education). For some reason both of them are synonimous (as well as school ?) in US english.

I concur with the experiences of GP. It is torture. I got mine because of being stupid around power tools more than 10 years ago, for the first 5 years it was merely an annoyance that would often drown out in the background. Lately it has p

That's also the only time (closing time and weekends) for anyone with a job to buy stuff, no? Assuming normal closing hours of 18:00-20:00 o'clock of course.

Has it been treated in any way? I've been working with bees for over 20 years now, and I haven't seen honey keep the viscosity for more than a couple of weeks past harvesting, at room temperature. The duration varies based on the

How come? If I'm a proponent of cause A, and I participate in a group with a member who is anti-A, it's actually against my fundamental beliefs to be associated with that person. In this case, I can propose a solution to this: eit

In the case of honey, it's actually very simple: if it's viscous outside of summer, it's not honey. Natural honey crystalizes into (near-)solid form quite quickly.

In Japan you need to sort all of your trash and then put it in bins before the truck comes. In my apartment complex it was forbidden to put out trash before 22 the night before, and the truck would show up at 8:15~ everyday for different st

For the most part, the CO2 absorption bands are already saturated -- increasing CO2 concentration has much less effect on transmission spectrum than that for methane.

We don't want to because publishing in open access costs us $2000.
