Age limit for political positions- Split from: An observation on gun control
Convenient for Nikki that she set an age limit that doesn't impact her. Plenty of people under 75 will not pass mental competency tests. If you are going to test one, test all.

Past Unknown Meteor/Asteroid Strike
South America is not a country. What app is on your phone?

Past Unknown Meteor/Asteroid Strike
You'll have to be a bit more specific. "North and South of South America" covers a pretty large area.

I'm gonna make this clear. Someone is using a definition of "trolling" that I'm not familiar with.
Don't be obtuse. @swansont explained it to you weeks ago. It's your overall behavior lumped under the heading of "trolling". But go ahead and break out the red herring again and argue with me about whether or not a straw can actually break a camel's back.

Funding Dinosaur Research
I often wonder things like that myself. But then the buzz wears off and I go looking for some snacks...

What's the R stand for?
You need some serious smelling salts and a heater to dig up something this old.

You also didn't try to avoid doing so.

Funding Dinosaur Research
No, those are not the only options. To name a few, money comes from leasing areas for oil or mineral exploration. When the economy grows taxes grow without raising them. In addition, funding for some items is limited by time so when the time is up the funding can be used for other purposes.

Thanks. I think I'll call it trolling.

Occam's Razor in regard to Bigfoot/Sasquatch
Please elaborate on how you've arrived at that percentage. This is a science site after all.

An observation on gun control
I on the other hand become more and more convinced that we will never do anything about it. It's a bit depressing.

Wow. Really good video. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, my mistake.

Season to kill a tree ? [botany]
Trees regrow because they lay down dormant buds along the branches and trunks as they are growing, and some of those dormant buds then sprout after you cut them down. Doesn't matter when you cut down the tree as the buds will sprout if you are in the growing season. That being said, there are a fixed number of dormant buds and the closer to the ground you cut, the fewer buds available for regrowth. If you cut them down to the ground, some buds will sprout, others will not. Run over the new growth with a lawnmower a few times and the tree will use up all its dormant buds and die.

Ironically enough the company that started Snapple was Unadulterated Food Products, yet they managed to make a tea drink that contained aspartame and no antioxidants.

I just reread the thread up to the point of your post and I didn't notice any posts that pushed back based on "tradition". Maybe I just missed it.

Has anyone tried this at home?
I read somewhere that when making tea the problem Americans had was confusing "boiling water" with "water that had once been boiled".

Has anyone tried this at home?
I considered posting this anonymously lest I bring down the wrath of the British Empire, but I guess I'll proudly show my American roots; I like my tea iced, with a bit of lemon juice. I only drink hot tea when I am cold or under the weather.

Seems that for a Brit there is never a bad time to wear a bowler and carry an umbrella. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digby_Tatham-Warter

Bad Science
After you leave here you should visit an architectural forum and shout to everyone that the axiom "form follows function" never did make sense and should be discarded before it is too late.

By now it should be pretty clear to you that the type of behavior you exhibit is not appreciated here and will result in pushback. Either change your behavior or accept the response you get. If we have to put up with what you post then you have to put up with how we respond. Whining about it in a separate thread is waste of time.

Guided evolution (split from Evolution not limited to life on earth?)
If evolution of flowers can in part be attributed to the behavior of certain organisms (such as bees) it would seem that the change of flowers (or other living things) by humans (via CRISPR) could also be called Evolution. Certainly humans are every bit as natural as bees are.

The Beginning of the Universe
🤣 No, you are not. The only thing you cut and pasted was a definition of "explode".
