I littered your topic? You have done nothing but talk trash from the OP, your entire topic is trash, it makes no sense to anthropomorphize animal behavior yet you continually do so. You kill animals simply by breathing, ever hear of fairy flies? BTW, feel free to comment in any topic I make, I may not always be right but I at least have the integrity to admit when I'm wrong.

Which makes YOU the predator. Heck of a logical corner you’ve just painted yourself into. Absurdity ensues...

I think it is chickenslaughter Yes, it is about property because ethically a human life is much more important than a freaking chicken.

Water vapor and liquid water have some strong absorption features of increasing strength as you move into the NIR and IR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption_by_water

That's like Ronald McDonald calling you a fat bastard...

Or possibly this is not the case, if we consider the folly of imposing human morality standards on non-human species. Why?

Have you ever taken antibiotics?

Scattering. Visible light tends to be scattered by tiny droplets in the air, whereas radio waves are not because their wavelength is far longer than the dimensions of the droplets. But I can't immediately see why simple humidity, i.e. without any condensed droplets, would weaken a LIDAR signal.

Humans have an intuitive idea of what nothingness means, so it makes sense it would show up in philosophies and explanations. And I think you're equating a lot of different kinds of "nothings." "Nothing" in the atomic sense is much different than "nothing" in a Buddhist sense. It feels like you're trying to cram a lot of differently shaped pegs into one single hole.

It seems the English and Americans value money unless the Brits were just there to complain. 🙂

'Existence' is a word with 9 letters. And if you want to know about the concept behind the word, I think I showed that it depends on the context: existence of what? If you want a general definition you would get something like 'something exists if it can play a role in somebody's life'. And here you see something else: 'existence' is the substantivation of the verb 'to exist'. So the existence of what are you interested in? To give again another example: space and time. One could call them the 'stage' on which causal processes occur (Pity that Markus is away now, he surely had to say something about it from the viewpoint of general relativity...). But they themselves do not exist in the same way as physical objects or processes exist in space and time. Space does not punch a ball, neither does time. Asking for THE general, meaning of EXISTENCE, leads to nothing other than all kind of philosophical apories, getting people confused. And if you insist on one meaning, it will lead to some bad metaphysics.

Whose idea was this? Who are all these people? What in the world?

LOL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests It went so well the last time they did that.

Perhaps the Earth needs an Atmosphere warming event cycle. Prior to Man Made Global Warming perhaps the Earths Natural Processes achieved the Cooling and Warming Cycles on its own. Perhaps a reduction in Volcanic Activity presently. Has created a Man Made need to help the Earth in its next warming and cooling cycle. These are all questions every young scientist must ask themselves. Throw out all previous explanations and truly work out these possiblities.

Ok, I'll be honest with you. You come across as someone who is pissed at the world and uninterested in having a serious conversation. Perhaps you need to start a blog.

I'm part of a Bantu sect that requires ritual consumption of the brains of dead relatives. The good old days. COVID-19 got nothing on Mad cow disease.

“Sixty is the worst age to be,” said the 60-year-old man. “You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time you stand there and nothing comes out.” “Ah, that’s nothing,” said the 70-year-old. “When you’re seventy, you don’t have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the toilet all day and nothing’ comes out!” “Actually,” said the 80-year -old, “Eighty is the worst age of all.” “Do you have trouble peeing, too?” asked the 60-year old. “No, I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all.” “So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?” “No, I have one every morning at 6:30.” Exasperated, the 60-year-old said, “You pee every morning at 6:00 and crap every morning at 6:30. So what’s so bad about being 80?” “I don’t wake up until 7:00.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City,… Where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch… You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor,.. But you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband… On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 – These men all have jobs, and will love their wife. She then goes to the second floor,… The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 – These men all have jobs, will love their wife, and love kids. She thinks for a while, and then goes to the third floor,… The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 – These men all have jobs, will love their wife, love kids, and are extremely good looking. “Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 – These men all have jobs, will love their wife, love kids, are drop-dead good-looking and help with the housework. “Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!” Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 – These men all have jobs, will love their wife, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and are excellent in bed. She is so tempted to stay,… But she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads: Floor 6 – You are visitor no. 43,630,912 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

I can't unsee it. Eh?

When my mother was near the end of her life she emotionally suffered whenever any of her kids or grandkids experienced any setbacks. We instituted a policy, at my urging, that we lie like crazy to my mom. David got into graduate school. Mary's debt was forgiven. I got that promotion. I've never been happier about a decision to lie in my life. For the most part I believe that people should be told the truth, but I'm sure there are dozens of exceptions depending on the circumstances.

No, killing predators is good

For me there is only one ethical problem: the problem of the existence of a predator. The predator must be destroyed in its animal or human manifestation: a wolf, a parasite, a swindler. The source of evil on earth is the predator. Eating meat is immoral. The destruction of someone else's life is immoral. The problem with modern society is that these are cowards who do not try to stop the villain. There is no balance between good and evil. For example, the destruction of wolves will not lead to overpopulation of herbivores, because the food resource is limited, and fertility will decline. This is just myth designed for survive of evil The position of the pacifist is vicious as well as the ideology of Jains, Buddhists and Christians, passivity is serve to villain Good moral is moral of aryans: just kill villian Even if there is some kind of balance philosophically, then in reality it will not exist anyway. Once in Old Europe, cannibals and slave owners lived, they caught people and broke their legs so that they would not run away, they ate them and forced them to work for wear, there they find traces of trepanned skulls on living people, оnce upon a time people were brutally killed to extract adrenochrome. and so on. And what is this "philosophy" worth if you saw how your child is savagely killed?

Lying never generates good, except in cases of self-defense. Lies are a tool of predators, villains and cheaters in order to use the deceived victim for their dirty needs. In ancient times, people ascended to the heights of military skill and shed tons of blood to defeat a liar but evil still won

Are you trying to find solace in the word "completely"? Let not completely LOL They know better how to do it most effectively.

China puting almost all profit in US Government, Is It easier? What the question? Why they still feed the Chinese with rice?

Killing a predator simply because it is killer of innocents

All this is nonsense, practically the same yuan coverage system works there asit was in the Bretton Woods system, only without golden promises and more flexible. To fill its budget, China is forced to export goods to the US and Europe, otherwise it will not print the yuan and collect taxes for the budget. Their can not print own money, only exchange on western actives This was standard system of British Empire, currency board yes, they hold another debts too, but it change nothing principially

Must be killed too

China pays the United States, so the United States has leverage, there are many of their puppets, otherwise they would not pay What did you want to ask? Do I understand the mechanism for paying tribute through currency board? So if the United States can force 2 billion Chinese to work through its protégés for a beggarly salary, then why can't it force an end to the genocide of the Uyghurs?

Then they will be holders themself, and not able get import for free No. It works as I said Printing money for circulation within the country will only lead to inflation

what exactly? The fact that baboons kill lions but don't eat them? Even children know this, you should be ashamed

Economically it is a circus measure. It is clear from the economy that China is completely subordinate to the United States; it is the main sponsor of the American government. If China was not a US colony, it would have invested in his own economy

I will not need your(personnally)explanations even if I will be ready to become a Nobel laureate in physics Is there the button "ignor" here? Yes, I quickly found it. There is a wonderful interface, very user-friendly

This is not convincing. Not the fact that straight-line movement cannot reach the same speed I did

In karate and taekwondo, this may be imperceptible due to the fact that they do not deal with blows but with effects and a set of points, but any boxer or thai boxer will confirm this.

Just don't ask about the color of my underwear. This is not an excuse, you can die from the cold, and there is no need to seek out extremes. Most people eat meat not even out of hunger, but for pleasure.
