Your explanations on time over the years has always been internally consistent, in my opinion.

iNow is a forcing in the evolution of letters. Alluding to another contentious conversation elsewhere: forcings are inherently the designers of what happens to mutations.

Ask yourself: What is so special about time that we must agonize over it when every other measurement parameter never gets a second look?

I condensed my thoughts as a series of questions I would like to ask the court:

Atop the SC building: I think the original framers meant everybody. Why have it chiselled on the highest court in the land otherwise? That motto was meant to inspire confidence that everybody would be treated the same. If the president is not explicitly excluded, one can reasonably conclude that 'everybody' meant every person in the land. It was put up in 1912, but derives from an 1891 case: "The words "equal justice under law" paraphrase an earlier expression coined in 1891 by the Supreme Court.[7][8] In the case of Caldwell v. Texas, Chief Justice Melville Fuller wrote on behalf of a unanimous Court as follows, regarding the Fourteenth Amendment: "the powers of the States in dealing with crime within their borders are not limited, but no State can deprive particular persons or classes of persons of equal and impartial justice under the law."[9] The last seven words are summarized by the inscription on the U.S. Supreme Court building.[7]" - wiki Just in: WASHINGTON (AP) — With Donald Trump listening intently in the courtroom, federal appeals court judges in Washington expressed deep skepticism Tuesday that the former president was immune from prosecution on charges that he plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The panel of three judges, two of whom were appointed by President Joe Biden, also questioned whether they had jurisdiction to consider the appeal at this point in the case, raising the prospect that Trump’s appeal could be dispensed with on more procedural grounds. During lengthy arguments, the judges repeatedly pressed Trump’s lawyer to defend claims that Trump was shielded from criminal charges for acts that he says fell within his official duties as president. That argument was rejected last month by the lower-court judge overseeing the case against Trump, and the appeals judges suggested through their questions that they, too, were dubious that the Founding Fathers envisioned absolute immunity for presidents after they leave office. “I think it’s paradoxical to say that his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed allows him to violate criminal law,” said Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, an appointee of former President George H.W. Bush. https://apnews.com/article/trump-jan-6-special-counsel-immunity-appeal-64eec975e6a602949eb4b90315239318

In the context of religion, a demand for faith is a demand for ideological tunnel vision.

Makes a change from citing Galileo, I suppose.

Science cannot argue against faith. Faith, after all, is about commitment to a particular cause, regardless of evidence that may contradict its existence.

Looking at human development is like looking at rainbows; you can only see the 'separations' from a distance. In this case temporal.

It seems the EU is trying to force all the various arms of Apple Corp. into one taxable entity.... as it should be. A current example: Apple disputes EU rules labelling its 5 App Stores as one service Just think, when quantum computing becomes the norm it'll see accounting anomalies' faster than we can blink. I'd be straightening out my accounts and processes to a more transparent position if I was in the FAANG group. QC seems the right tool for handling global financial data when it's running as intended.

In Evolution, when something happens is purely stochastic/random... the molecules are milling about subject to thermodynamic and other forces in a random manner. When an oxygen meets a hydrogen, under the right conditions, randomness disappears and the outcome is determined because the molecules interactive behaviour is predictable i.e determined. One should be able see that evolutionary outcomes are both deterministic and stochastic.

The EU and UK is trying unpack the byzantine tax strategies they use to currently hide 'excess' taxable wealth. It needs comprehensive global co-operation though, otherwise they'll just keep moving it.

Truth in science is what agrees with observations of the day and seems to reflect how nature behaves. I add the word 'seems' because what a theory says today may change in the light of new information tomorrow. There's no such thing as 'sitting on your laurels' in science. Truth is for religion and other non-scientific interests.

To be a subject of Pegasus software, for what it costs to implement, one would need to be a very high value target. I'm under no worries about Pegasus.

Their 'naughty step' can be denial of cell phone privileges for some specified period. They will be fitted with an ankle-worn phone jammer,, so that nobody's phone can work them within 10m of them. They'll be a social pariah jamming peoples phones. No phone is a state of death for a millennial and younger.

Ha!, cheers. Smells tell me stories. I think this will progress naturally to looking at hormone signalling that's triggered by the chemical signals in the water.

I concur with exchemist, there isn't any meaningful difference between the statements; just different words encompassing the same idea.

It's about getting the message out in the right way and somehow attaching some "tut-tut.. shame" to it socially. It seems to be stronger in places like Japan. I am quite affine to some of the Japanese ways.

Trump's eligibility case is up for SC review on February 8th.

It's all about the concentration in the air. Butyric acid hints at familiar foods when it's just a whiff; bakery, butter, humbug sweets etc. A bit more and you are into hot sunny day armpit territory It adds depth, which makes it a 'bottom note' in mixes and rounds things out. Caproic acid (C6) is much the same... a bit more sweaty smelling, cheesy. These things are in your food as natural components of some foods aromas.

Mar-mar; To add to swansont's post, in case you aren't aware: Falsifiable - This means that scientific theories and hypotheses must be testable and potentially disprovable through observation and experimentation. Falsifiability helps to ensure that scientific claims are based on empirical evidence and can be subject to scrutiny and revision based on new data. - from another forum. God is not falsifiable, therefore they can have no place in science discussion.

Yes. Affluence is no indicator of environmental concern. Affluent areas will naturally have more 'string pullers' who can get others to do it for them. Rubbish is as likely to fly out of a high-end Mercedes as a shed on wheels.

Will look into PEG10000. Thanks. Is there a particular reason for PEG10000? It seems to be solid at ambient temps and I'd like it to stay liquid in the single digits temperature-wise. Would a lower weight version be better for my use?

@exchemistI just added some 8-carbon octanoic acid, which doesn't want to mingle with PG. Is there a surfactant that will make them miscible? I think I'm looking to making a stable suspension, rather than solution.
