Correction hijack (Sharia in the US)
I think Dim "got" the fact that you said you didn't understand plain English. And I think he teased you about it. but I'm sure he will speak for himself.

Correction hijack (Sharia in the US)
Do you mean plain English which is free from analogies which are not understood? Or do you mean plain English which nobody understands because it lacks analogies? Because what you have written means the second one, rather than the first Isn't it more likely to be a school subject like history or even cookery? Speaking of bias... Your unjustified assumption that Salik's schoolwork would be religion is a bias. Your bias. And I think that's the point which Dimrepr made.

It's important to focus on school, though you should make sure you have some variety. These questions have been discussed for hundreds of years; they will still be here when you get more time.

Glycemic Index of coconut flour??
I think so, but it's not really my field.

Glycemic Index of coconut flour??
As far as I can tell, yes, you are right about this "the Glycemic Index is a measure of the glycemic response only of the carbohydrate in the food being measured with the rest of the constituents of the food being ignored. " But not about this "This would mean that if the GI of coconut flour is 50, the glycemic response of 100g of coconut flour would be 50*0.272 which is 13.6" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index

Glycemic Index of coconut flour??
If I read the wiki page right, in testing the GI, they compare the effect of 50g of carbohydrate as bread or glucose with 50g of carbohydrate from the food under test. So they would compare the effect of 50g of glucose with 50/0.272 g of coconut flour.

Glossy metal-like paint
Did you consider googling "mirror paint"? Another option would be electroplating, possibly with a copper undercoat or something. I don't think the usual "electroless plating systems work well on steel but it's worth asking the people who make them. Another option is to polish the steel to a mirror finish and then varnish it.

Blow to US Democracy -Split from: U.S. presidential election modelling
Well, yes... but it didn't happen to anyone. Nobody was robbed of an election victory of any sort. And all the republicans who have not pointed that out are jointly responsible for the death of the woman shot at the Capitol.

Blow to US Democracy -Split from: U.S. presidential election modelling
Interesting tweet from Trump, a while ago " Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · Jul 27, 2020 Anarchists, Agitators or Protestors who vandalize or damage our Federal Courthouse in Portland, or any Federal Buildings in any of our Cities or States, will be prosecuted under our recently re-enacted Statues & Monuments Act. MINIMUM TEN YEARS IN PRISON. Don’t do it! @DHSgov" Let's hope he sticks to his word.

Is positive and negative electricity nomenclature arbitrary?
I'm not in a position of power, so I can not be making threats. So your post is childish nonsense. On the other hand, I still have a very simple and useful thing I can do. I can keep on pointing out that you are wrong, and why you are wrong. And, let's try counting them. One Two Three. So, it looks like, in addition to not knowing science, you can't count to three. Isn't it time you faced the fact that you are wrong?

Is the Fleming's left hand rule valid?
I can believe it. Well, the rest of us would recognise that it depends on the external magnetic field too. But you don't seem to understand science so, as I said, I'm not surprised that you had to ask. Why do you keep posting this stuff, even though it's clear that you are wrong?
-
Is positive and negative electricity nomenclature arbitrary?
I already explained why that gives the wrong answer. And that's why you can't demonstrate your claim. It isn't true. The decision about positive and negative was arbitrary. And a positively charged object will attract bits of fluff because, no matter what you say, both positive and negative charges attract things. If you keep posting stuff that's just plain wrong, the mods might do something about it.

Mystery Carbohydrates??
It clearly says they were analysed (among other things) for ash by AOAC 942.05 There's a copy of that method here. https://academic.oup.com/jaoac/article/95/5/1392/5655282 It's not saying that there is x% of ash in the flour. It is saying that if you burn the flour, you get x% ash.

Is positive and negative electricity nomenclature arbitrary?
It was an arbitrary choice. We know who made the decision. And we even make jokes about him getting it wrong. https://xkcd.com/567/ The biggest problem with your "evidence" is that it involves currents flowing through things like air or water where the situation is more complex because both charges are involved- the current is carried by both positive and negative ions. You have been told this before. Please do not keep posting the same mistakes.
-
Mystery Carbohydrates??
If you burn the stuff, you get ash. They weigh the ash from a known amount of flour.

Magnetron as a source of laser spectroscopy
Bad idea. No I suspect that no laser, or maser, is powered by a magnetron. Certainly most are not. You can not get nanoscale resolution with Raman spectroscopy. You can not do Raman spectroscopy with microwaves. You can not get nanoscale resolution with microwaves. And, because the skull is in the way, you can't do Raman spectroscopy on the brain. What do you think you are talking about? No, they did not. Nonsense.

The implication of what it says here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_barbasco_trade#End_of_the_barbasco_era is that they steroids are now derived from soy.

question about balancing a reaction
The reaction can not work. It's impossible to balance it. The electrons won't add up.

Why are QM effects only found at sub-atomic levels?
Well... most people can. But you do need to start by learning science. Have you tried that approach? I have seen no evidence that we need to try at all, never mind "very hard". What "LIES" have you seen? It's not possible for me to pollute the OP. I can't change it. Do you know what the abbreviation means? You didn't answer my point about cooperation; you went off at a tangent of moaning about me correcting your spelling. You did exactly the thing you accuse others of doing...

The issue really isn't nativity plays. You are posting on a science site. Many- perhaps most- of the people here are atheists. What does Islam say about us?
