Yes. Do nothing about it. The outcome will be the same as anything you might try, but doing nothing is very cheap. Incidentally, you are taller than I am.

"why people are not protesting over cancer and Heart disease?" They did. We no longer allow smoking in public places.

I didn't know they were making printed masks in 2017.

Nobody said it was. But the thing is that tanking works. So this is, at best, rather dubious. It may "tend" to do so, but if it actually did so, tanking wouldn't work.

LOL I pointed out that you were wrong. That's what happens in science. And I rather think that you calling me names was the only "base attack" here. There's nothing you can say here that's going to make you look good.

Like this, perhaps? Perhaps, instead of saying things that are wrong, you should say things that are right or say nothing. Kind regards JC resident smartarse.

We can't spend less money any more than we can drop the death toll. Expenditure goes up. And since any disaster lies in our future rather than or past we always head towards it. It's like saying "the nearer we get to the year 3000, the more people who will have died from tripping over a frog".

You said and I pointed out that it isn't the case. I backed this up by the observation that many cellars are tanked from (and on) the inside. Nobody said the OP's room was a cellar Nobody was talking about "new build". The answer to your question is, I'd build a waterproof wall.

Tanking of cellars is commonplace. It does not usually involve digging round and under the house to tank the outside (where the water is).

Then they are unlikely to be in that sentence.

Depending on circumstances, the limiting factor might be something like a capacitor in the power supply. Good temperature control is also a big factor so dropping the power is almost certain to help.

Overpainting bitumen may not work out as planned, you may end up with a sticky mess that never dries properly. Fatty acids don't eat anything. Microbes might, but they would only grow in the presence of plenty of water. I really think the best plan is a fan and patience.

White spirit has a fairly strong smell and it will take a while to get rid of it. If you can arrange the fan to blow air out of the window (and take the smell with it) that will avoid having the fumes in the rest of the house. Leave the door to the room slightly open so the fan can draw air through from the rest of the house. The smell will go quicker if you have warm air drawn through the room, or warm it as it enters the room with a non flame radiator near the door. Soda and vinegar are not going to help here.

One would work if it was tall enough.

I don't think it is very volatile. It decomposes on heating and gives HF which is ... bad for you.

There are several options. Replace all the blanks with "one". Replace all the blanks with ">=1" Replace all the blanks with "unimportant". Replace all the blanks with "less than 99"

Doh. It's me failing to account for BC / AD.

Same way that they did it 1200 years earlier I guess... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes#Earth's_circumference

Debating with a flat earther is probably a waste of time. However, if you are going to persist, ask them to email someone in each to the Earth's two hemispheres and take a picture of the moon and send it to them. One of the pictures will be the "wrong" way up. That can't happen unless they have different ideas of which way is "up" and that requires a non-flat Earth That's very simple, it doesn't need complicated kit and he gets to choose who the Southerner and Northerner are, so he can claim that someone is lying. Another is to ask them to explain the flight times between distant cities. For example, Greenland, India, South Africa and Egypt. That takes a bit more maths.

It's remarkable. We quite often get memes about Republicans doing really stupid things. When an elderly man who is a Democrat does something eminently sensible- wearing gloves in cold weather- the internet explodes.

Then 4 days ago the thread gainsaid this assertion:

Are children the only people who can't be relied on to give informed consent?

... and the UK https://covid19.nhs.uk/pdf/introducing-the-app.pdf ... where it works badly

Why not the children? Can't they decide for themselves? As you said
