  1. There is no difference. Recent tale or old tale. Are both tales. If a member posts his invented verse that is not on the Bible; be aware any other verse in the same subject that is already in the Bible is also an invention from someone else looong ago. Does not need to be on the Bible for centuries to become truth. Or, being for centuries on the Bible does not make it truth.
  2. Hi. How many trucks supplying food for Palestinians in Gaza have been supplied by Hamas ?
  3. Greetings. Would this contraption have some use; or is it somehow already done ? A plain single wall metal (black, aluminium?) chimney exposed to a sunny location and preferably shielded from wind direction; heats up the air inside. The air heated by the metal chimney rises and vents at the top end, pulling air trough the room at the bottom end of the pipe creating a flow as a fan does. Humble yes, not exactly air conditioning, but hey, it is a fan with its corresponding effect on skin. Does such thing exist ? The sunnier and hotter it is, the faster the ventilation flow. No increase in humidity as evaporative coolers do. No energy consumption, moving parts or motors, noise nor maintenance. The pipe could pass trough a helly hot attic space (like mine) too to extract/soak more heat before venting. Bigger pipe diameter = better results ? Just block in winter or manage to reverse flow ? Do you believe would work ? What would you polish/improve to this idea ? Does it have merit ? Thanks.
  4. Thanks. Yes, confused them โ˜น๏ธ. One of these days will experiment finely ground alka seltzer + powder sugar... ๐Ÿ˜ Until I find a sweet acid + NaHCO3. What about using baking powder + sugar powder to make their bellies explode ?
  5. Greetings. Several mixes not to repel, but to kill are published as effective; being two most mentioned: borax + powder sugar, and baking soda + powder sugar + water. Proportions seem empirical; is there a best proven ratio of compounds ? Borax labeled as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate. Baking soda labeled as sodium bicarbonate. Do you know a better one ? It bothers me the baking soda-in-water preparation prevents? a later in-ants-belly reaction to produce gas as it would had already reacted while being prepared. In my ignorance, how wrong am I ? Is outgassing to be induced in the ant digestive tract and not before ingesting ?
  6. Thanks. Yes, is real; but what about those keys in english in the french keyboard in post #1 ? Your AZERTY link is different, in proper french.
  7. Hi all. Saw this; with 'caps lock' and 'shiftยด and 'backspace', and 'enter' and... is it a joke ? ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ
  8. The missing monkey finally showed up... The sum of the other three... Talk to no one, hear no one, see no one.
  9. Thank you, studiot. If rephrasing is convenient for the health and simple straightness of the thread; Who are "us" above ? God and who else ? Who are "our" above ? God and who else ? And God is humanoid like the man made ? Any witnesses of that ? And who heard God saying that if no one with ears existed yet at that moment ? The word "then" above means some activity took place before ? The word "let" implies asking someone permission for something ? Please do not deviate from the simplicity of the thread that may trigger becoming locked.
  10. I was not in the joking intention; the image of the device is ~30years old, not in any recent web trend of any kind, and the image posted has no backgrounds of cookies nor collecting any data here. I do not do that.
  11. Hi. if a dough has excess butter or too little; what changes ? Aiming for fine 'crumbly' result. My understanding of the word crumbly is like compacted flour dust, not compacted sand texture, breaking and collapsing when biten. Clues from the baking fans, please ?
  12. Mister Cuomo can hire in his own businesses all the people with criminal records he wants. If that is also replacing/firing the ones with no criminal records, is his decision too. Just do not tell me who I should hire in my business.
  13. Hello. Cannot remember the name of something that greatly affects rivers life from runoffs, if it was some insecticide or a fertilizer applied to soil in farms and its bad effects do not fade or decay with time. Was subject of many discussions ~10 years ago. If anyone can tell some names I may remember its. Something like permitine perhaps ? Thanks.
  14. Greetings. Animals do it too. From insects or skin conditions of whatever be the cause. Is there a benefit to the microorganisms on skin that cause the itching, as rising blood flow from scratching ? If it is a reaction to a chemical there is no microorganism to favor. Either from some skin condition cause or from an insect or contacting a plant; scratching produces a highly pleasant rewarding sensation. Can end damaging the skin from fingernails abrasiveness. Mosquitos, fleas... are bothersome if the 'bite' is felt but the later scratching is pleasant, no doubt.
  15. Found something: On topics there is one result of 40 pages; ; in posts another with 29 pages, limited in how many years past โ˜น๏ธ ================================================================================================= ==================================================================================================== ===================================================================================================
  16. It is in red text in post 1. Cannot access all the posts โ˜น๏ธ
  17. -> -> -> That is not "everything" Cannot access my posts before 2011. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Goofed again.
  18. Thank you, Eise !!! Found that clicking on each avatar has different behavior. below, top right avatar does not show the same options as lower left. ๐Ÿคจ
  19. Once I found the way to look for my own old posts; now cannot find other than "my attachments" and got : Please guide me to the correct way for finding my old posts, not attachments. And if you know where to buy a new brain, also. Getting too old โ˜น๏ธ
  20. Or know what this gadget is for; or how does it work ? Am sorry, cannot make it a larger image โ˜น๏ธ
  21. Externet posted a topic in Engineering
    Hello all. chalk, gypsum, hydrated lime, magnesium carbonate, sodium carbonate, calcium sulfate, clay Seems there is a fine line differences in these minerals and their uses. Can anyone shine some simple light on their uses, properties ?
  22. Good day. A lot of information available on the net; but seems the surfaces where it can be applied is missing details. What have you experienced or can comment/supply guidance ? Read the surfaces to apply can range from bare concrete block walls; bare brick; old deteriorated paint of several types as latex, colors that may bleed out, oil based, limewash... After nail holes are filled, preparing white Portland cement plus water and nothing else to the consistency of 'toothpaste' and applying with paint roller, brush, scraper?, to a smooth finish that will even and cover irregular lines. My specific case is 80 year old plaster walls with the corresponding scars and portions where painted layers have detached or turned dusty. (After wallpaper removed ๐Ÿ™„) What white Portland cement paste paint would not stick to ? (obviously clean) Recommended tools other than wide 'putty knives' for smooth finish application ? Or, mixing it with paint for better color blocking ? I understand 'primer' paint does not fill hairline cracks, white cement paste would be much different ? Can it be painted over after set ? Educate me, please.
  23. Thanks, gentlemen. These use a single support post and the lower edge to soil : These show 2 extra sloped support elements as rafters under each 'column' of panels, as to not attach to the panel frame. The intention is to use the panel frames as rafters for single rows of panels, not as four+ high as in the left image. At the right side image, the optimal location of the single post by the person left knee is dependent of the length of the panel to be supported. Simple kits are : Where I see the sloped element being redundant to the panel frame, and the horizontal one, not needed. No underpurlin; instead the location of the post in function of a given panel length. This image below has front post, rear post and rafter under the underpurlins Trying to get rid of too many elements.
  24. Hi. A 2 metre long solar panel has its frame supported with a post(s) into soil. The lower end is held anchored to flat soil. What is an optimal position "?" to get less convex bending or concave sagging ? Its ~20Kg weight distribution is very uniform, there is nothing more massive at any place.
  25. Great! Thanks. I have some diluted sulfuric acid for batteries; hoping will tell some clue, like presence of zinc in the alloy likely being brass.
