Where did I say anything about ignoring such individuals? (That was your iinvention in your 22nd september post) No. Straw man #1: Falsely asserting I wished to ban religious books (21/9) Straw man #2: Falsely asserting I wished to exclude religious people from society (25/9) Straw man #3: Falsely asserting I wished to ignore religious (stupid, gullible etc.) folk (22/9) Contrary to your further false assertion, Roget does not believe these concepts to be synonymous. It is clear however that you are arguing in bad faith. So please desist from trolling me with your negative nonsense.

Hello, I want to know what is meant by unsustainable in the following context from a book called Microbiology: a very short introduction. Soils exposed by deforestation lack the physical structure, chemical composition, and indigenous populations of microbes needed to cultivate consecutive harvests of cereals and other food crops. Intensive grazing of cattle on deforested land is similarly unsustainable. Even in areas where soils are exceedingly rich, crop productivity falls without soil amendment with organic matter and inorganic fertilizers. is it related to the continuity Intensive grazing?

Some renegade Ukrainian with an underwater drone wanting to remove any chance of Germany pressing Kiev to negotiate a settlement to end the war with unfavourable terms just so Germany gets it's gas back? It's all I got... Okay one more... A Canadian entrepreneur with an underwater drone wanting more methane released to help save their North Baffin Island resort investment...

They certainly seem to be doing so where I live. Indeed, the number of new cases is well down from the spike in July and the expected fall surge hasn't shown up - yet. Only a few people, customers or staff, at the stores where I shop are wearing masks anymore, though the plexiglass barriers are still up to protect cashiers. I don't expect those ever to thrown away, until the store itself is demolished of remodelled. Everyone stopped wearing rubber gloves quite early on, which was a relief. They were rather appalling: one person I know discarded three pairs at each outing. I don't see a lot of those flimsy blue surgical masks in the gutter anymore, either. I've kept a few with viable elastic for mixing peat moss into my potting soil or sanding wood; in public, I have been wearing N95 with fabric over the front - my current favourite is a parrot beak; small children are amused by it. They're durable and washable. Nevertheless, a lot of people have continued to work from home, which tends to reduce waste overall - with inflation, crazy gas prices and rent hikes, they simply can't afford so much takeout. But they do order things from amazon rather than buy them in person, which tends to increase waste. We've bought a number of items that way and I faithfully kept the cardboard boxes, packing paper, plastic bags and bubble envelopes. It's only the last I haven't been able to repurpose. I used one to hold dead batteries for the recycle bin. At this rate, I need to live another 25 years to use them all.

In terms of Origins of Elements I found this posted on Twitter I think the other day which may be helpful Lighter elements were formed in stars, heavier elements seemed to have been formed when stars explode, or undergo changes during their life time / end of life.

Curious who might have sabotaged the Nordstream pipelines, if in fact that was the cause: https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/germany-pressure-drops-russia-gas-pipeline-90561092 Sure. Leave me in there all by myself...

I don't think the Bible is so much concerned with swingers, as Abraham, Sarah and Hagar were the first "documented" swingers in history, if I remember correctly. On the other hand, I don't think the Bible took public nudity so lightly, to be honest. It was as much lenient with genocide as it was with swinging... You see where I'm going. I guess what I'm saying is: Do what you want to do as long as it doesn't harm or humiliate, or greatly embarrass, or create unnecessary problems, etc. to others. Same here. If we're talking about sex. If, we're talking about having a nice day at the beach, I agree with moon-tan-man. Not that I get many chances to tan my moon.

Not if the Hadley cell has dropped dry air on the ocean. As I mentioned earlier in this thread. You can buy a humidifier for a building. They don't have to use heat. There are many different types. Two of them are spray humidifiers, and impellers. The impeller type has a rotating disk which flings the water against a diffuser, breaking it up into tiny droplets. So your above statement is wrong. Nobody said pumping was free. How much is astronomical? That's just stating the obvious. If there was no significant onshore wind, you wouldn't embark on a project in the first place. My suggestion was for siting an installation where there WAS a reliable onshore wind. If there was an onshore wind for a significant period, then an installation would be turned off whenever there was no wind. That's obvious. You would only be using energy when the wind was significant and onshore.

When I was in high school, English ( literature ) was mandatory. Memorable books that come to mind Merchant of Venice Macbeth Animal Farm 1984 Lord of the Flies The Great Gatsby Of Mice and Men Catcher in the Rye Outside of school, I read mostly Science Fiction.

While gold is rare, there is a lot of it down below if only we could reach it. (which we never will). One geologist geologist, Bernard Wood of Macquarie University in Australia reckons there's enough gold in Earth's core to coat its surface in 1.5 feet of the stuff. And six times as much of platinum. But even if we could reach it, it would probably cost more in energy costs to winch it up to the surface, than it would be worth in cash. Another surprising fact about gold is that China is the biggest producer, followed by Russia, and then Australia. Not what I would have guessed. https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/earths-inner-fort-knox
