Guinea 'pigs' with acid reflux, please ?
Come to think of it... https://www.simplymedsonline.co.uk/cardiovascular/glyceryl-trinitrate-500mcg-tablets-gtn.html Other suppliers of volatile liquids in pill form are also available.

It's quite commonly what causes the problem in the first place. How do you put a fairly volatile liquid in a pill?

Does the project shown in this video work? And if so, is it safe?
The ball is a capacitor- that's what it's for. And; fast as lightning, you worked out what the issue is.

What evidence do you have that the current is low? What would limit it?

As a rule those are not independent variables. Ohms law tells you how to calculate on from the other. Does anyone know why this myth persists? Why not? Twelve volts is twelve volts.

Liquids, gases and pressure
Eventually, you will end up with the big tank full of gas at the vapour pressure of the liquid in the small tank. So you can't transfer all of it, but you can get very close. On the other hand, getting very close would need you to use liquid nitrogen or something to cool the small tank. Not only is that uneconomical,but you risk embrittling the steel.

Is sunlight the primary cause of damaging anything?
What's obvious is that only one of us is a chemist. But, back at the topic; iron rusts perfectly well in the dark, but not in the absence of oxygen. The ultimate reason why things degrade is entropy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus Sunlight is pretty good at damaging organic materials, but doesn't usually harm metals (which reflect it- that helps) and inorganic materials.

What was the last scientific "law"?
Tobler formulated two laws, the second one (relevant to this topic) concerns geology and is sometimes referred to as "Tobler two" in the same way that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object such that f=ma . is sometimes referred to as "Newton two". You seem to be thinking about Tobler one. That's older than Tobler two, so it's not relevant to this thread. :-)

Liquids, gases and pressure
I know that. You know that. The next guy reading the thread may not know that. No You can essentially "distill" the CO2 into the smaller bottle if you cool it and/ or warm the big one. In principle you can shift almost all the CO2 that way.

Liquids, gases and pressure
Do not fill a gas cylinder with liquid. When it warms up, and the liquid expands, it will burst the tank (or the pressure relief if you are lucky). https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/sites/phmsa.dot.gov/files/docs/technical-resources/55771/calculation-and-verification-filling-ratios-liquified-gases.pdf

Is an AI really a Turing Machine ?
You seem to be conflating two different things; Turing's test and a Turing machine. As far as I know, no Turing machine would pass Turing's test.

Physical Revue says "Whiteboards are Racist"
You might argue that. But I don't think many would accept the validity of the argument.

Solid Oxide Electrolyzer (SOXE) could solve global warming
Under the right conditions you can get CO to decompose into CO2 and C. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudouard_reaction Re-electrolyse the CO2 and, eventually,you will convert it all to C and O2. The problem is (as ever) where to get the energy from.

Tokamak fusion
Yes, really. We really are not speaking French. And, from WIKI, "It is based at the Pavillon de Breteuil in Saint-Cloud, France, a 4.35 ha (10.7-acre) site (originally 2.52 ha or 6.2 acres)[5] granted to the Bureau by the French Government in 1876. Since 1969 the site has been considered international territory" So it's really not in France diplomatically speaking, It is surrounded by France And "The Bureau International des Poids et Measures is not French, though its official language is?" is particularly ironic. England left the EU. The EU's principle official language is still English. It's a bit like Eurovision song contest winners; The UK loses, but English usually wins. The Catholic church is world-wide, but its official language is Latin.

Tokamak fusion
I think we all agree on that. The authority isn't French, it's BIPM. The I stands for international. Diplomatically speaking, it's not even in France. Plus important encore, nous ne parlons pas français

Tokamak fusion
Interestingly, Wiki doesn't follow that reliably. e.g This increases the density and temperature of the core until it reaches approximately 100 million kelvin, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_flash Presumably because nobody would say it is 25 Celsiuses or 90 Fahrenheits outside

Tokamak fusion
"100 million kelvins" is a very big room full of scientists. "100 million kelvin" is a temperature.

Prime numbers in biology
I disagree. The whole paper seems to be an interesting exercise in confirmation bias.

Feynman's IQ was 125?
IQ is a measure of how well you do in IQ tests. It was originally designed to identify the children who were falling behind in school in order that they could be given better support. I'm sure we agree that's a worthy objective. Using it to compare people who are- by whatever criterion- average or above is, at best, misusing the tool. Getting into arguments about who has the bigger Dick, I mean the bigger IQ is unlikely to be productive.

You can't. The zinc will immediately start to dissolve.

More data that higher minimum wage creates jobs
If your original post, which said had said something like "Outside of the UK which is magic, If wages are raised...s inflation, an increase in the cost of living ..." You would have had a point. Instead you doubled down on it saying Well, your assertion is not true universally. It is not true for the UK in 1999. It only needs one counter-example to prove once, and for all time, that you were wrong. Nothing you can say or do now will stop that being true. Similarly, while there may be problems tracing drugs, for example, this weed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galium_aparine#Chemistry may complicate the analysis of caffeine use, it doesn't stop the technique being employed.

You are missing the fact that, at equilibrium, the concentration of zinc will not be zero. Some zinc will dissolve in the electrolyte.

Indeed. But Sensei still doesn't seem to believe in them.
