are trans lipids/oils definitely not usable in human body or is human body not able to break down trans lipids/oils?
In one case the two hydrogens (marked in red) are on the same side, in the other case they are on opposite sides.

Tech Giants Shutting Down Violent Social Media Cesspools
He never really needed followers any more than you or I do, except that he's psychotic. Not being POTUS will not cure his desire for praise. Got any evidence? As has been pointed out and argued about, the likes of FB are not owned by the Left, but they are the ones making the decisions to block the terrorists. Are you saying it was the Lefties who refused to allow a gay wedding cake? That's a very interesting question. And the Devil's advocate answer is "Would you prefer Pravda?" It's one of those things where a combination would probably work better. And are irrelevant. The point is that these are not state owned institutions. If the state was denying them freedom of speech, that would be another issue. Incidentally, when a man who has a press office tells you that he is being censored, you know that he's lying.

Immigration
The important point about "the immigrants took the jobs" is that it's a lie. It's one of the lies that the political Right use when they have to explain why so many people are struggling to get by in such a rich country. The actual reason is "some white guy in a suit outsourced your job to China (or wherever) because that increases shareholder profit. It's nonsense, of course, just like "trickle down" economics.

Do you understand the difference between cis and trans? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism Oleic acid is the cis isomer and elaidic acid is the trans isomer

If you are talking about saturated fats then you are not talking about trans fatty acids. No saturated lipid is trans, you can only get cis and trans isomers of unsaturated fats.

Thought experiment about entropy
Yes, because the term is ambiguous; as wiki says. A closed system is a physical system that does not allow transfer of matter in or out of the system, though, in different contexts, such as physics, chemistry or engineering, the transfer of energy is or is not allowed. Moving a magnet near a magnetic material involves a transfer of energy If I put a beaker of water on a magnetic stirrer, the water will get warm because work is done by the stir bar against the viscosity of the liquid.

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.

Correction hijack (Sharia in the US)
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.
