They say the best time to plant a tree is 100 years ago and the second best time is now. I think the same logic applies to removing them. Having said that, I guess cutting them while they are dormant will trouble them less than when they are in full swing. You can find data on when is a good time to prune trees; and then do your best not to follow it. https://silveroaktreesurgery.com/article/a-guide-to-which-uk-trees-to-prune-in-late-spring-and-summer

They seem to have found a less bad way of doing the wrong thing. And, among other issues, helium is not a renewable resource.

" most of us on the outside of science looking in are getting a little tired of this big bang B.S. It's time to move on" Yes. Move on from being "outside of science" by learning a bit and coming inside.

If the objects are air molecules, the answer is clearly "no". As MigL has pointed out, the question needs work.

They were when I got my IQ tested at school...

The penetration depth of "cooking" microwaves into food is variable but typically about 3 cm. That for the IR from a grill is less than a millimetre. So, for an item less than a few cm thick, it is heated "in the middle" by the microwaves. The outside is heated more than the inside, but, unlike a conventional oven, heat is generated inside the item, rather than being conducted from the outside.

The results are in. Apparently 17000 dead as a consequence of HCQ. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S075333222301853X

The big difference in colour is caused by soot in the first flame. Because there's not much oxygen, some acetylene decomposes to carbon which is heated to incandescence. The blue colour of the other flames is due to emissions from hot C2 molecules (if I recall correctly). A Bunsen flame would be a lot hotter if you could run it with acetylene. It's a fuel with a higher energy density.

The biggest difference is between the first flame and the subsequent ones. That's largely because when gas burns in air it has to heat up the nitrogen that comes along with the oxygen. Feeding the flame with pure oxygen avoids that.

The magnesium in your diet is likely to be largely present as /converted to free magnesium ions as soon as it hits the acid in your stomach. So this magical counter-ion is irrelevant. But I'm amused that threonate's wiki page led me to this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickkopf It may be childish of me, but I think that name is funny.

Ethyl cellulose is not natural.

Does German have an equivalent of the 11 (or more) ways in which English pronounces "ough"?

Some clearly do. Camphor and menthol have strong odours. Diffusion in solids it slow, but it does happen.

If it's really important then you need thermostatic heating /cooling and a constant current driver.

Threshold current. Lifetime sees mainly temperature dependent so a reduced power presumably increases lifetime https://www.newport.com/medias/sys_master/images/images/hbc/h43/8797050241054/AN33-Estimating-Laser-Diode-Lifetimes-and-Activation-Energy.pdf

Can you let us know your explanation? Still waiting.

So what? Had anyone said they couldn't? Do you realise that humans did not evolve from chimps? Nobody really thinks they did. So, what you are doing is presenting a straw man argument. So, once again... since this is a science site, I expect you to provide the extraordinary evidence for your extraordinary claim.

For teh sake of discussion, it's unlikely that Alex was ever told about a toy doll. But if you showed him a green doll and asked what colour it was then (so I'm told) he would tell you it was green, He could tell you that a coke can was red without needing to be told. What Green meant to Alex was the same as it means to you or me.

And, since this is a science site, I expect you to provide the extraordinary evidence for your extraordinary claim.

It can be dangerous to make absolute claims on science discussion boards. "By the late 1980s, Alex had learned the names of more than 50 different objects, five shapes, and seven colors." Alex was a parrot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_cognition Being able to name the colour of an object means you understand the idea of colour. The crucial test is naming the colour of an object which you had not previously seen. I understand that Alex passed that test.

Science can't prove God because of this. https://ericthegodeatingpenguin.com/

Which is what I have been saying all along. You seem to have missed this. Can you let us know your explanation?

I'm still saying that, if the effect was big enough to matter, we would have found out about it. To be blunt, we would have found out the same way we learned that there was a problem with thalidomide. We would have noticed the victims. Let's flip this on it's head. If, as you suggest, the stuff is causing significant harm, how come things like the yellow card scheme (not to mention a stack of ambulance chasing lawyers) have not noticed it?

That's interesting. Surely the outdoors is outdoors and I shouldn't care what the temperature there is. On the other hand, if I'm worried about preventing condensation, those numbers make more sense. If it's 15% RH indoors, you will get problems of dry eyes etc.

That's debatable at best. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/the-science-says-there-s-no-difference-between-a-dry-or-a-wet-cold-sorry-1.6268564
