Mixed Political Discussion (split from Political Humor)
I'm unsure why that makes us "funny".

petroleum is not only for fuel
If you are going to base your oil concerns on what junior high school teachers said over 40 years ago, the least you could do is cite a junior high science teacher.

Understanding how life is shared
What do you mean by "share"? Being alive is something we have in common, thus it is shared. But there is not much to "understand" there; it is simply the definition of having the same trait.

Inconsistency between Velocity vs Redshift and Scale Factor vs Time plots
Welcome! What would you like to talk about?

Come on England!!!
I agree. When my home town baseball team won the World Series, ticket sales, merchandise sales, and television viewership went way up the next year.

So don't use it. Sorry I responded.

I sit here and ponder the chaos around me.
So your inability to add more detail to posts is similar to someone who has an inability to walk?

The survival/bushcraft thread
It's not really 'survival'. It's is just taking things a step deeper into nature. Some walk in the park with their dog. Others use a camper and stay in a National Park. The more adventurous will go tent camping. Next level is probably backpacking. Bushcrafting is the next step down. Rather than passing through the wilderness like you do when backpacking, bushcrafting is living in the wilderness for a limited time. It's no more risky than backpacking but it's another step removed from our lives insulated from nature. The lowest level I suppose is living off the land.

As I said, this may not be the right forum for you.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE AN ENERGY PROBLEM HERE ON PLANET EARTH.
Then perhaps you are on the wrong forum. Here we generally expect people to think, do a little research, present coherent ideas. You don't need to be an expert, but you at least need to try.

The survival/bushcraft thread
I like bushcrafting, although typically I'll mix regular backpacking with it. It's a bit rough on the environment so I don't think it is appropriate on well used public lands, and in many areas you are not allowed to cut and gather as you might when bushcrafting. I really liked MCQBushcraft when I was learning the tricks of the trade. I'm getting older so I don't do it so much anymore.

So can Biden have Trump officially assassinated now or officially refuse to transfer power?
As the crime of murder is typically a state crime I don't believe the President could pardon the executioner.

Biofuels: sustainable energy for jet airplanes.
Who in the f*** do you think you are that you get to decide that people are allowed to enjoy nostalgia trains but not car racing?!?! Now you are just trolling. I'm done here.

Biofuels: sustainable energy for jet airplanes.
How are you going to charge batteries in tanks, Formula 1 racing cars, military aviation, rocket launches, oil tankers, cruise ships, etc.?
-
Biofuels: sustainable energy for jet airplanes.
That's a weird combination. Why should biofuels be restricted to commercial aviation and nostalgic railroads (whatever that is).

If they go it will be through science and reason, not gumdrops and cotton candy and rainbows.

Your Pollyanna disposition does not actually make for a good argument.

How many countries can make 10 nm chips now? and how about 100 nm chips?
I'm curious as to where you are going with this.

Shouldn't we give up on fusion?
If the media blitz is just a long shot, then you may as well leave the money in fusion R&D. After all, your reason for pulling R&D funding was the low likelihood of success in the near future.

English question - on the last month?
I don't think so. I read a lot and I've not seen such phrases frequently. Certainly no one in my circle uses those phrases frequently when speaking .

Shouldn't we give up on fusion?
What kind of media blitz would persuade Australia to do things your way instead of the way they have determined is appropriate? Do you think they simply haven't thought deeply about this subject and you are clearing things up for them? Or perhaps you can convince them to spend money they do not have?
