If you could, lets say you have been granted limited god status, and all you can do is bring back 4 extinct animals in large enough numbers to establish a breeding population, what would they be and why? Anomalocaris, because they are big and look delicious. Ichthyosaur, Because I'd like to see how they interact with dolphins. The smaller species. Liopleurodon, small species, because i'd like to see them interact with dolphins as well. Woolly Mammoth, because I hope they can genetically engineer one the size of a small pony so I can own one.

Can I ask here statistics question? If yes, under which forum?

If you have extra belongings that you need to put somewhere, would you ask a friend, ask your parents, use a Commercial storage company, or just throw them out? I have heard storage companies are now being used extensively by the average household and businesses. Do you think this is a good idea? How safe is using a storage provider?

So, I have written up something entitled "Technique in Discussion: Hypercubing." For what I recall, the user Genecks had relayed to a scienceforums.net user to not worry about his/her issue because Genecks was an authority on such; Genecks claimed to be an authority on such because Genecks beat hypercube in five seconds. I think that's the general idea of what happened in Genecks' post. I have not been able to use the search feature to find the relevant posts. Personally, based on my contracts "expertise," I do not think a valid contract occurred, be that Genecks were to need to remedy the user were something to go awry with the user's worries: Something like that. …

Hi Im ____________________, you may have seen me in many versions of "Ill help you" get your life on track media applications across the decades dipping into the early 18th century.....you thought II was dead! well, Im back from the great void and simmering ether with a deal better than birth itself!

I am just an aspiring athlete who wants to play Ice Hockey and Track and Field for Team Japan. I have always loved Japan as a whole with passion. I must say that I have talent in both Ice Hockey and Running Sprints. I also happen to be a transgender woman with strong aspirations to raise a family in Japan and live the Beautiful Japanese Dream. I came to this forum to learn genetics and the anatomy of existence. However I’m not a bright student as I have both ADHD and Stargardt Disease. My preferred way of learning is through self education and coming here to ask questions. I can’t get degree of GED as I just don’t connect wi…

Does anyone have any idea what these are? I have a pair of them, made of brass (no jokes please!), about 1.5cm, 5/8" diameter. Each one comprises an upper and a lower half, which screw together. They look as if they might function in rather the same way as a pair of cufflinks, but obviously they are not cufflinks (too heavy, too cumbersome to screw together on a shirt cuff.) I wondered if they were weights for holding down a tablecloth outside, but you'd need to make holes in the corners for the threaded part to pass through. So that seems unlikely. They came from my parents' house, so probably something used half a century or more ago.

On an oscillator the wave such as a HB displayed is tachyon condensate, under hydraulic compression, T.e (tachyon energy) also makes up part of the symbiotic, quark frequency harmonics. At the top and bottom of the screen should be another set of energy signatures, when in the middle, downward hydraulic Aetherverse pressure, we accept as gravity, all the iterations increments are single threads, to make twine, string, rope, cable, to finally resembles a pattern like sleeve, encasing the potential H-hydrogen iteration, H carries the water memory, starts as H then H2O the rain, an apple 🍏 tree, food, sustanance, includes codes validation of any further iterations of h…

I'm writing an article for my website and will include a link to this post. commercial link removed per rule 2.7

Have you ever thought about going to a recently discovered M-class planet? If you were to lead such a mission, what would be your concerns, considerations, objectives and reservations? What protocol would you put in place - - on approach - on establishing orbit - on landing - on first encounter with a local life-form ?

Something that came up in the cryptocurrency thread reminded me of this bit of trivia: In the days of the old west, people used the US dollar and the Spanish 8 Reale coin (they were "pieces of 8") interchangeably because they were basically the same size and made of silver, and that worked because the value was based on the amount of precious metal. They used to chop up the coins when lower denominations weren't readily available. In deference to the Spanish (presumably), it was into 8 bits (1 Reale each) so 25 cents was two bits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_dollar (This makes clear that the Spanish dollar was used by a lot of folks, much like t…

I recall back in the early 2010s society lost interest in space and sci fi. https://gizmodo.com/why-we-need-more-space-adventures-5837047 https://ricochet.com/226027/archives/the-death-of-the-space-opera/ I was just a young idealistic college student back then and most students seemed more interested in reality shows, materialism, and partying. I look back and find it appalling how vapid it was. Why did we lose interest in space? Why did society felt they had to choose between popularity and intelligence? Why did society stopped being encouraged to push themselves intellectually? Why not be …

Bandits, thieves and criminals run the world. Good people that actually do good are killed off or they're experimented on without their consent or knowledge and the establishment inject fear for noble cause corruption, so why bother with life at all? You are a slave to both money and god and the only people that have true freedom are people in the middle east who can have cake and eat it too and rich white men and women. Men are definitely expendable and the only reason why they are being nice to you because they want your genetic material or your brain. I don't like playing this game of life - i didn't ask to be part of this and I definitely didn't construct this s…

With US having lots of problems with student debt and such, do you think the free model of higher education like in Europe should be implemented/

I struggle to get a thought written into a sentence, before I divert myself with endless tangent's. Is this a recognised disorder? Is there a technique I can employ?

Any history/military enthusiasts out there except me?

Were the slaves from Africa centuries ago bought from their tribes, voluntary emigrated or abducted ? All the above, none, or how did it work ? Conquerors just disembarked as planned business and captured whoever found fit and force taken to Americas/elsewhere ? Were violent conflicts capturing them ?

The first that comes to mind is science generally, and large scientific endeavours specifically, despite political differences:eg: The ISS and of recent times the general distribution of covid 19 vaccines around the world. In recognising that, another aspect imo is sport in general. At present I am completely enthralled and stuck to the TV watching the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. While there has at times been certain "over the top" rivalry, one incident being the water polo stoush between the USA and USSR at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic games...The Southern hemisphere's first Olympic games, [I was 11 years old] I particularly remember it because of Australia's complete domina…

Just found a list.... 1 What is the universe made of? ... 2 How did life begin? ... 3 Are we alone in the universe? ... 4 What makes us human? ... 5 What is consciousness? ... 6 Why do we dream.. 7 Why is there stuff? ... 8 Are there other universes? My attempts to answer them. [1] The elements, [Baryonic matter] Dark matter, dark energy, space and time. [DM and DE are place mats for we don't know and make up around 95% of what is there] [2] There is really only one scientific answer to that....Abiogenesis, although we do lack the detail. [3]Most probably not, although as yet we do not have any validat…

Does anyone have any experience in the failure modes and comparisons with the offered lifetime and real world time to failure of the replacement bulbs ? Since the introduction of LED replacement bayonet and screw fitting bulbs I have seen several fail prematurely. I have also noticed they run hotter than I expected, though not as hot as incandescent. I think I might start to dissamble any more that fail to find out what why they failed. Coupled with the hotter running I have noticed three that have started to flicker before failing, suggesting that it is not the LED that fials, but the driving electronics. Comments and experiences of others…

Dad had a toy on his '59 car dashboard, it was engine-vacuum operated. The nearest found today is called push puppet buy it had some bladder in the base instead of a spring; suction by a tiny hose to engine intake collapsed it, likely made in Germany. Are those still being made that you know of ? Just nostalgic... Similar :

Hello. Has there been any ruling, trend, disposition to swap the order of given name and family name recently ? Like since 1-2 years ago ? Is that for spoken or written, official documents ?

Will we make it to mars by the year 2010, as president Bush has suggested?

You know how something you think, hear, read, notice, smell or taste can conjure up a picture in your mind? it happens all the time and it's nearly always a fleeting, trivial image that you forget right away. But once in a while, something triggers a really powerful response. You get a clear, bright, significant picture that's worth storing in long-term memory. That you either want to look at, again and again, like a photo album, or else that pops up, uninvited, in association with new input. Some of these graphic images are horrific, but you can't turn them off. Some, on the other hand, are pleasant, useful or amusing. Like Doctor Who's wibbly wobbly timey wimey th…

I thought so at the beginning, when so many businesses had to shut down; travel and tourism all but ceased; borders were closed and people stayed at home to work, study and be entertained. And yet, when I did go out once a week to buy necessities, everything looked the same: same goods, including imported ones, on the shelves; same advertising on TV, only with extra emphasis on home delivery. But it seems, something has changed. "Nobody wants to work anymore." Especially in service jobs. But maybe not so much in offices, either. What's going on? Why have people suddenly discovered the exploitation everybody's known about - and lampooned in movies, …
