Diagnosing my lawn mower...
Corded appliances are the pits where they have to be moved and manipulated. I get 2 or 3 years out of Makita or Bosch Green batteries, which are the tool systems I've bought into. Don't know about unleaded rules over the pond, but we have gone on to E10 petrol/gas, which is not great for engines. The petrol will absorb more water in storage. I use a petrol preservative to mitigate it.

Testing Creation
From what I undestand, not much, experiments, like LIGO, detect gravitational waves, which may allow scientists to infer things they can't measure directly.

Testing Creation
The pre-Planck Universe was not a space to be filled. Until you put objects in it spatial distance didn't exist probably nor did time.

I've just started doing that and just needed to flip the buttons to preserve symmetry.

Can you please delete my account and my posts?
@swansont Some sites change the username to 'guest'. I remember a US site changed mine to 'Liberal Something'. Made me laugh.

How best to stop excluding trans kids from sports?
If the right legislative seeds are planted now, in perhaps 50 years they'll be where gay people are now in terms of general acceptance. These kinds of changes have to be with a mind towards the long game. Future generations born without the baggage and prejudice can accept them as normal.

Can you please delete my account and my posts?
@Phi for All I don't care that I have 12000 posts, I want them got rid of now. If you don't I'll empty SFN of cheese nips. When one posts one should accept it's there forever and even if they were deleted, it is still kept under various government retention Acts or Decrees for some specified minimum time in the servers.

How to improve DNA gel extraction process?
Is this any help. I put 'increase dna from agarose with promega'. This promega tutorial link came up. https://www.promega.co.uk/resources/guides/nucleic-acid-analysis/dna-purification/

I never see it. It's a cookie or cache thing, which needs clearing on exit in your browser.

Carbon Capture Suggestion
Even so, we are not suggesting it is the only solution. Even if it is the one under discussion, it is plainly obvious that a multi-pronged approach is required. You using numbers as if that is the only solution to be used.

Carbon Capture Suggestion
Circulation is obviously important because the more biotic cold oceans probably supply the warm oceans to some degree.
-
Carbon Capture Suggestion
Your criticisms are misplaced because there isn't a single solution we are gunning for, so you are just puttintg up irrelevant numbers. The co2 burden has to be distributed between several/many solutions and behavioural changes on our part. Your dismissive certainty is annoying and not conducive to developing this conversation. Ultimately, I think it's about understanding entropy direction in natural processes and see where we can nudge it locally to have a broader, beneficial systemic effect.

Carbon Capture Suggestion
Right. Filling that gap in the cycle is the issue. Don't forget those plankton bloooms produced oxygen and rainmaking sulphur componds. Green water is what we are after, not abiotic blue... as pretty as it may be.

Carbon Capture Suggestion
The CO2 drawdown is not a problem if you have sufficient photosynthetic organisms and adequate upwelled nutrients to use the carbon dioxide as it is adsorbed. The proposed idea needs the drawdown to work... it's an integral part of the process. The problem is the lack of nutrients in the photosynthetic layer of the ocean to deal with the carbon dioxide. When the oceans get too warm, the thermoclines appear.

A question about gunpowder
One way being trialled is locking the weapons to their owners biometrically, so that only they can use them.. Seems like a practical way forward. Your idea makes sense except for the means to practical realization.
-
Carbon Capture Suggestion
It probably doesn't get sufficient homogenization from top to bottom because of thermoclines, which are endemic in warmer waters. I think this is one of the issues: deep water is stratifying as the upper layers get warmer, restricting upwelling.

Humanity, Post Humanity, A.I & Aliens
There is a bunch of scientists that have got together to state that we need to understand consciousness in paralell for the reasons you describe. Can't remember where I read it; yesterday.

Carbon Capture Suggestion
Yes, we are really just interested in raising the solute concentration gradient towards to the more biotic upper layer
-
Carbon Capture Suggestion
Why does it need to be uplifted at the energy-intensive density of fresh concrete? The obvious first thing to would be to find an area of upwelling where a desirable natural system exists for reference and emulation. See what the data is for the upwelling deposition and then model systems that replicates the features required. You've made starting assumptions that may not reflect the constraints. e2a Natural systems of upwelling are intermittent. Engineered system can be more continuous, or even reactive, so the load rate requirements of the system can be less than natural systems produce.

Spooky experiences
I've had a murder dream. The way I look at it, it is my brain harmlessly acting out RL scenarios. Obviously we get the emotional feedback and learn from them.

What is the nominal sodium chloride concentration of the human body and how does it compare to seawater?

Brave browser is much more controllable to ones wishes. It's Chrome without the spying and general sneaky stuff.. SFN works fine.

Nature needs chaos -Rewiggling Swindale Beck
Yes, somehow, we need to instil a sense of continuity and responsibility to foster a more nurturing approach when each successive generation takes the reins of government.
