Her lawyer will say you sprayed them.
How will you prove that you didn't?

The experiment which Sensei proposed was done some time ago; albeit with pigeons.

You use the phrase "negations of subdivision" a lot.
It would be better if you used one with a meaning.

My favorite was Melanie Chisholm ( sporty ), the others all seem 'flaky'.
She also seems intelligent enough to have attended school, and not relied on looks/sex to gain fame.Strictly speaking, my mum taught a class from which Mel C was skiving.
Lack of attendance does not seem to have hld her back much.0 -
Given your answer I conclude that, while you may (or may not) know much about medicine , you clearly don't know much about the difference between real life and the movies.
Which is more likely?There's an unexpected artery in someone who gets shot or
the show's producer said " It's OK, but it's not gory enough- can we get lots of blood spurting out?"?
Here is a hint. It's just a story. Somebody made it all up.And the interesting thing is that, even with very limited medical knowledge, I can point this out to you.
Incidentally most "Hollywood" stuff doesn't happen in Hollywood.
Now, just to let you know, her chances of survival are very poor.
You can see blood on her lip before she opens her collar and gets sprayed with blood.
That implies a lung injury to go with the arterial damage.Also, the blood sprays almost directly up into her face which, even given that she's leaning back, implies a very odd wound track.
Anatomically and physically, it's just not possible. You only get a clear spray from an artery if the artery itself is more or less exposed- otherwise viscous drag at the sides of the wound will prevent it.
So, she must have a pretty big hole in her torso to let the jet out.
And yet, she's still alive.
So, even a trivial understanding of science lets you know that the scene isn't realistic. Why were you looking for realism in it?

6 hours ago, Sensei said:"Temperatures above 3,500 °C (6,330 °F) can be obtained in a few seconds." (on the Earth!).
Everybody should be using such solar-furnaces on the Earth to limit coal burning..
I seldom want, and never need, to heat anything to 3,500 °C; why should I be using such a furnace?
(Also, my garden isn't big enough)

[Edited to add: First things first, if anyone is reading this thread and doesn't like blood, don't watch the video clip.]

9 hours ago, Alienrocketscientist said:If you guys entertain yourselves to be scientist, or chemists, you would know the difference between, conflagration, detonation and decomposition. H2O2 does not detonate. It can decompose and/or contribute to conflagration, but it is not a high order explosive, (which to say does detonate).
Guess again

Don't know much about the man ( other than he wants England out of the EU although being the son of an EU civil servant ), but the above quote makes him sound like your version of D Trump.

1 hour ago, iNow said:Came across another fascinating idea. Haven’t yet thought through all of the potential ramifications and undecided if I’m for or against, but the summary is:
Votes are weighted heavier when younger than older, but remain equal in weight when considered from one citizen to the next across all votes they cast across their lifetime.
https://medium.com/@william.macaskill/age-weighted-voting-8651b2a353cc
Curious what you think?
Looks interesting.
Would have saved a lot of hassle here in the UK.
But where do you draw the line?
Do you favour the votes of those who are better educated (and thus likely to live longer)?0 -
Diffusion through a palladium membrane is "traditional".
There are also things that will selectively react with oxygen.
For example, you can use coal or oil.
Which explains why it's probably not worth it.

19 hours ago, Lawrence Dawson said:As to being an autodidact, my daughter was completely home-schooled. She did not enter a classroom until she entered College. She had the Second highest score in the State on the SAT and was a national merit scholar. When she entered a private college she was given a list of great books which she was told an educated person must read. She had already read half the books on the list. She is currently a PhD establishing a nursing major at NNU
And my mum taught one of the Spice Girls, but that doesn't make me a pop star.
How did you come to the conclusion that someone else's education was relevant?

Delighted to hear it. I know Parisians can be a bit odd, but eating from the floor isn't common there.

The population of Paris is about 2 million
And, if they are typical French people, they smoke an average of about 1100 cigarettes per year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_cigarette_consumption_per_capitaSo that's roughly two billion cigarettes per year.
So that's a total of 1250 tonnes of tobacco.
And, according to this
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4518591/the yield of cyanide is about 500 micrograms per gram i.e. about 1 in 2000 of the mass.
So that gives very roughly 0.6 tonnes of cyanide released in Paris each year just from cigarettes- there are, of course, other sources too.
"we estimate that 654 tonnes of HCN were emitted in 2012 from LDV in Canada, including ~252 tonnes in Ontario."from
https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/82009669.pdfHow worried are people?
Well, not very worried, because the atmosphere is big.
On a related note, how much of the timber had been treated with copper chrome arsenate?What's the yield of benzo alpha pyrene from timber in fires?

That is not an answer to the question " why?" it's an answer to the question "how?".
And nobody asked that.
However, the important advice here is; see a doctor.0 -
On a tangentially related note. (and I accept, it's a serious "tangent"), if I was minded to repeat Cavendish's experiment on weighing the Earth, What would be the best material from which to make the suspension wire?

Lead is hardly the only possible contaminant which would have people wearing masks etc.
Have we ruled out asbestos, for example?

Could a combination of materials do for a piano frame what this does for the pendulum of a clock?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridiron_pendulumEven better, could it change the length of the frame in such a way as to compensate for changes in both the length and the tension of the strings?
That way, temperature wouldn't affect the tuning.
The old joke about "it was in tune when I bought it" might become a thing of the past.

OK, so people seem to be saying that because the lead fell down and polluted the floor, it went up and polluted the sky.
OK...
