What an extraordinary example of lazy false equivalence. The principle of proportionality is well-established in both domestic and international law and was quite clearly adhered to in the case illustrated in your picture.

Today i learned about genetic mutations, specifically that the reason Siamese cats are so darn cute with their darker patches of fur is because the gene effects an enzyme that functions in cooler temperatures. Their fur color is dependent on temperature which I think is so cool!

Whilst not a Greenhouse Gas and displacing fossil fuel use with renewable Hydrogen will reduce global warming raising atmospheric Hydrogen concentrations slows the decay of methane, which undoes some of the gains. One thing to breed or genetically modify termites (or - seems more likely to me - their accompanying micro biota) to produce more Hydrogen, another thing to harvest and use the H2 cost effectively. Low cost enough that it's use will displace fossil fuel use is a major step that other ways of making Hydrogen have not done successfully; much of that due to the storage and transport difficulties. Adding in the requirements for the termite farms to be inside airtight facilities, for a means of extracting H2 from the air, for a supply of biomass to feed them - all the while maintaining an ideal (termite healthy) air mix and temperatures - makes it extraordinarily challenging. How do the costs compare to dedicated solar, wind, storage powered electrolysis? Meanwhile battery EV's are beating Hydrogen EV's by thousands to one, in part because there are electricity grids EV's are able to take advantage of. With Hydrogen the infrastructure for widespread use does not exist and has to be built from zero. I am cynical enough to think most of the leaders of industries that insist that Hydrogen will be best don't actually believe that themselves. Their Hydrogen efforts so far seem to work better as evidence that low emissions is too hard and expensive than as viable decarbonising.

Yes I did. I also took the trouble to research my post and provide some factual sources and date checking, which is a lot more than you did. Do you really believe that the US government was not entitled to carry out a surgical strike to kill Osama Bin Laden in the wake of the largest terrorist assault in history - one which killed more Americans than Pearl Harbour did ? - And if not why not ? Where is your argument ? Why did you try to pass off a photo from 2011 as if were relevant to an issue in 2025 ? I don’t like deceit and innuendo. Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Hello and welcome. We have another member with similar interests so look at their thread.

Tired of shelling out money for nutty roadside attractions. And Marzipan ain't no place to take a kid. Though I am not without almond joy.

He made electric cars sexy and showed that Gerry Anderson had the right idea about rockets. Both fantastic achievements. But then he went mad after his son changed gender and disowned him, started to live in a far-right bubble, raving about the "woke mind virus" and has morphed into a megalomanic Nazi.

Yes welcome, here is some starter information that may be useful. Originally Chemistry was divided into two categories Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry. The word organic meant that the 'chemicals' ( correct word substances ) derived from living things. Everything else was not organic or inorganic. We now know that this distinction is not accurate but these two categories still remain although organic chemistry has been revised to the chemistry of carbon and its compounds. So basically Chemistry is about all the varous types of substances and the interactions between both themselves and non material things such as light and magnetic fields. Since those early days important sub classifications have been made such as Analytical Chemistry the Science of determining exactly which substances there are in a smaple and how much of each. Physical Chemistry The Science of the physical properties of substances such as density, colour, melting point, boiling point, refractive index, solubility etc Structural Chemistry The study of the internal structure of each and every substance Reachion Chemistry the study of rates and mechanisms if chemical reactions. All of these apply to both Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. Yet more subcategories apply to more specific areas such as biochemistry, mineralogy, crystal chemistry, rheology, molecular chemistry etc.

This thread is about complying with national and international law. The technological superiority of the US causes the leaders to give a damn about obeying any laws. Sky is the limit. Other countries can at most shout about the fact that the U.S. has committed some crime. No consequences are drawn, both for people personally and institutions that participated in breaking the law. That's why there are terrorist attacks, because no one expects a military confrontation from any other country whose rights have been violated as a result of the US government's actions. Dictators, authoritarian leaders, see this and draw conclusions. Under the current POTUS basically everyone in the world already hates Americans. And it's only been two months. A lie. It's a tool of surveillance.. And besides, there is nothing to google here. You can see with the naked eye what crimes were committed. It was recorded on film. Photos taken.

..did you think through your statement deeply before posting.. ?

Nobody in the history of the world ever "caused fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people." For thousands of years, people have sent rockets away from earth to the heavens to fall on the enemy far away, but they never brought fire down to earth from heaven. I'm not a big fan of the bible, but I thought these verses sounded interesting and should be known by the GOP. Revelation 13:11-17 "Then I saw a second beast [False Prophet (FP)], coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It [FP] exercised all the authority of the first beast [Antichrist (AC)] on its behalf and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast [Twitter disinformation], whose fatal wound had been healed [Trump survived assassination attempt and his ear wound healed]. And it performed great signs [SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink, etc], even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs it was given power to perform [DOGE] on behalf of the first beast [AC], it deceived the inhabitants of the earth [Twitter disinformation]. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived [wounded by the assault rifle and yet lived]. The second beast [FP] was given power [DOGE] to give breath to the image of the first beast [AC], so that the image could speak [Twitter disinformation] and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed [????] It [FP] also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads [MAGA red caps], so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark [T], which is the name of the beast [Trump] or the number of its name [45-47]."
