You're conflating things. GC is different (albeit necessary) from naturalization. I clearly said my citizenship took 6 months. My GC took 6 or 8 years and I got it through my wife. For those 6 to 8 years I had a student visa then an H

Furthermore, I pay for services I don't avail myself of (my kids go to parochial schools). And since I don't live in the city, but a rich suburb, it means that Im subsidizing my neighbor's BMW. I dont even mind school taxes,

If foreigners are in of the hated groups, my personally lived experience serves a counter point. During my naturalization I was caught by surprise by how quickly my application had been handled. The agent giving me the exam winked and said:

Yeah. Its basically my corner store. It was frustratingly annoying to buy iodized salt for my pregnant wife there.

Scientists who work in government (DOE, EPA, etc) keep telling me that but I don't believe them. I worked alongside them and I wasn't impressed by most of them. Result? I dodged a mini-Flint that occurred in my tiny corner of the

First of all just because a water source is natural doesn't make it safe. Sea water, sulfonate rich springs, etc are bad for drinking. That there are places around the world that have high with F doesn't make it safe. There are pl

There are such things as chronic toxins. Lead, for example.

Fluoride is a chronic toxin so the dose is the accumulated exposure.

I can buy non-iodized salt (in fact its hard not to at WF), and non-fortified milk or bread very easily. At an insignificant price difference. It is impossible to buy non-fluorinated drinking water that is not orders of magnitude more expen

If you are a foreigner, you're asking the OP to commit a federal crime. If you're an American national, you're likely asking the OP to commit s federal crime. ITAR's a mother.

Most of the water is returned to the lake, not sent to plumbing.

by thsksbd 3y ago
this system is probably locally cooling the water since the 4C water picks up relatively little heat from the city and is returned to the warmer surface layer. Although L. Ontario's surface can hardly be described as "warm"

Its not that exciting, really. They're just running the pumps fast. The system has the ability to absorb: H2o_heat_capacity*mass flow rate * delta(T) = cooling_power. The first term is know and very large. The last term is determined b

It doesnt affect L. Ontario for at least two reasons: 1. L. Ontario is absolutely massive. 2. L. Ontario would be heated far more by the heat dumped into it by the otherwise displaced electrical generation. Furthermore, the water return, as

Im not worried about a spiky slab. Im worried when the spikes are sheared off and join nature. You can argue that the amounts would be minuscule since the spikes are only on a surface, but no one has.

Asbestos is a forever chemical. One made naturally. Asbestos is an amazing. Im really annoyed I cant buy it - as a professional - to play with. But it's amazing because it is forever chemical.

Structured, disciplined, habits make you far more productive than working long hours. At an old job (natl. lab) there was a guy who does his research job for, maybe, two or three hours a day. The rest of the day he is reading unrelated book
