Compounds are 2 or more elements chemically combined, and these also come under the heading of molecules. Molecules are chemical combinations which may involve 2 of the SAME and/ or compounds. So all compounds are all molecules, but not all molecules are compounds. So the oxygen in breathable air is a molecule O2, that is 2 oxygen atoms combined, but it's not a compound Is this right? I'm age 28 but my science level is about that of a 12yo so please keep answers appropriate to a kid! Best GIAN❤️XXX

I think that there’s going to be a lot of noise and not much action for a while. It’s not so easy to fire federal employees. I think the first attempts will result in some lawsuits and probably an injunction and blaming of the “deep state” because baby didn’t get his binky. Eventually various organizations will be able to re-do their org charts to reduce billets, but I’ve seen efforts to do this take more than a year before implementation. And other than the political appointees, few are going to be willing to reduce headcount unless there’s also a reduction in expected results, but that’s not an improvement in efficiency. Budget cuts will also affect this, but that, too will take time to bubble through. And representatives won’t like losing money coming into their districts. People don’t always realize that a lot of federal employees work outside of DC. Another tactic might be to shift even more work to contractors, even though that doesn’t really make anything cheaper or more efficient. They’ve been doing this for years. (the number of federal employees hasn’t changed all that much for the last ~50 years, even though the population has almost doubled) But it does give money to businesses. My bet is he’s going to try and fire any Biden administration holdovers before any of his own people.

No, actually, I don’t. If you didn’t mean cabinet, you shouldn’t have said cabinet. Your imprecise wording not anybody else’s fault. Stop trying to blame others for not understanding.

I mean that of both Trump and Harris. The Primary decides in 3 days. Nicky Halley was a UN ambassador and most qualified. I don’t care if you voted for Harris. I don’t care if you voted for Trump. I have tried to only discuss the issues without insults. It is politics no one is right. Of course everyone thinks they are right it’s their own thoughts. At the gym there is almost fist fights when someone brings up the President race. At church each person thinks the other candidate means the apocalypse. Friends of mine might not have voted because of the candidates. Remember I never said who I voted for or if I voted. I never said I was white or middle class. Those demographics only matter to the evening news. People or different races and different gender gave the thumbs up when ask if they were voting for Harris then voted for Trump. I will start to be less political on the message boards. I sill would like to discuss the bitcoin and U.S. currency though. I am more concerned with the simple yet interesting post. Read my last status update where I approximate the unknown SemiPrime factors. So far Bitcoin’s main use is crime. And hiding money transfers. If there was a way to defeat the digital signatures it would be transparent.

I understand you're frustrated with religious people, but creating a belief system out of anger might not be the best approach. Consider this: - Established religions have centuries of wisdom and community behind them - Your reaction seems more about opposing others than finding truth - True spirituality is usually about seeking understanding, not creating divisions Instead of reacting, maybe: - Learn more about why people believe what they do - Have open conversations without judgment - Explore what you're really seeking spiritually - Focus on personal growth rather than opposition Being angry at religious people is understandable - many have negative experiences. But creating something just to "slap" at others won't bring you peace or answers. What specific experiences made you feel this way about religion? I'm genuinely curious to understand your perspective.

Oh come on, pedantry apart, you know exactly what I mean...

I have no doubt, but can we please just go with the spirit of the question; bc I was just wondering... I guess I deserved that neg, for some reason...
