  1. The voiding approach sounds reasonable. I generally brings about great relief.

  2. These words might have a common origin since both English and Persian languages have a common ancestor, Proto-Indo-European language, aka PIE. However, I think that a connection is much more convoluted than the sounds being similar or "squishy and mushy". Look at the etymology of the English word: (worm | Etymology, origin and meaning of worm by etymonline)

  3. That’s surely part of it, but as I said Trumpism will remain even if Trump disappears. The grievance politics are as old as time. Fearing the woke mob taking away freedoms or guns, believing others want them to apologize for being white, refusing to accept transgenderism, election results, or feeling that the system is rigged and they haven’t been given a fair shake. “It’s YOUR fault that MY life’s not better!!” Trump may have amplified a previously quiet set of militias and KKK membership, but those folks have always been there and don’t ever seem to go away. They just used to be quieter. Now, they’ve have been given a permission structure to say whatever they really think openly, out loud in public, and without shame. None of that ends when Trump is gone, and in fact it’ll probably be worse moving forward with all of the bubbled and closed off information ecosystems and disinformation lattices.

  4. Nope, I said you FTL statement was silly, I never mentioned any diagram. I didn't come to a conclusion, I asked a question which you did not answer. I asked, if dark photons are ultralight are they lighter than massless photons? I did listen and it appears you were just making up stuff. I did, hopefully now that I have asked the same question twice you will answer it. Of course there are great ideas, we are discussing scientific principals developed by some incredible minds through history. It sure seems like a forum to me, what do you think it is?

  5. Oh dear. You really have no idea what you are doing in the kitchen, have you? Potatoes take 25-30 mins to cook. If you don't have time for that, cook rice or pasta instead. I usually steam large potatoes, to avoid the risk of them disintegrating. Small ones are safe to boil. But one point I agree with you: they are best cooked in their skins. The skins add flavour, and nutrition, supposedly. I always leave the skins in when I make mashed potatoes.

  6. See my reply to Mig. I mean, why assume the converse? If someone checks the box for reparations to African-Americans, why assume they would exclude other ethnic groups from a similar tort law approach? Does anyone out there really say, black reparations yes, but to hell with the indigenous tribes, displaced Latinos, and Japanese internment families! Many I'm sure are like @iNow, seeing all such compensations as worthwhile but knowing that politics is the Art of the Possible, rationally choose to focus on the numerically largest and longest-oppressed group.

  7. Yes, here: Event 1: the light hits a point on the Moon. Event 2: the bullet hits the same point on the Moon.

  8. Yes, that article mentions that an overpotential is needed, which increases the degree of ionisation from its equilibrium value, thus speeding up the electrolysis.

  9. Sorry I didn't make myself very clear. Firstly let me repeat You cannot get acid ar basic consitions in pure water, you can only get neutral ones. You can get acid or basic conditions only by adding something. If you add something that is ether acid (eg sulphuric or hydrochloric acid) or basic (potassium or sodium hydroxide) you will get and acidic or basic mixture that now contains other ions than OH- or H+ If, as you suggest, you add a neutral salt then you will also change the pH according, more or less, to the solubility and the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation Either way you will have additional ions in what is now a solution. How would you use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.120 M in HClO and 0.185 M in KClO? | Socratic To then get to the effect on the cell potentials you then need to apply the Nernst Equation What is the equation that connects pH and its effect on electric potential of an electrochemical cell? | Socratic

  10. I see you have studied on this somewhat. So I will give you a pointer to help you answer your own question, beforelaunching into any detail. Pure water has a very low conductivity on account of the very low concentration of ions, both hydroxyl and hydrogen (or hydroxonium). Pure water is neutral, and there are no other ions present. In order to acidify or alkify the water (ie change the pH) you have to add other ions. These afect the half cell reactions.

  11. Who is this Rorschach guy and why does he paint so many pictures of my mother in the nude?
