I actually did in effect say 'it's just practice and familiarity to get stuff how you want it.' We just disagree on whether it takes a few decades or a few centuries to perfect the skills. Perhaps I should get a combi oven and never use the microwave part... Correction to my previous post... "One day there may be restaurants advertising their food is cooked in a traditional microwave oven rather than a fancy modern combi, but I doubt I'll be alive to see that."

An issue with microwave ovens is they have haven't been around very long. Most other forms of cooking have had hundreds or thousands of years to get it right. Only a few specialised types of cooking are better in a microwave so far e.g. I remember seeing a recipe for frozen florida which required microwave cooking. One day there may be restaurants advertising their food is cooked in a traditional microwave oven, but I doubt I'll be alive to see that.

A possible out for coffesippin is the tale that on his way to the cross a bystander annoyed Jesus and was told "Tarry thou until I return." I read his entertaining but rather long biography "My first two thousand years:The Autobiography of the Wandering Jew" published around 1928. I thought it was fiction but who knows for sure?

Homo Sap., like e.g. rats and cockroaches are very good at surviving in impoverished environments. Relying on Malthusian reduction to reduce pollution will result in a terrible environment. Melting ice sheets and less snow cover will reduce albedo and increase warming.

Why should we have faith in your ability to locate information? The forum you're posting in requires evidence, or at least valid references for non mainstream science.

What is the proper question?

Why not do a little research? e.g. where is your evidence that in warm periods the temperature everywhere on earth is above say -5C so that the 'top ice' everywhere melts? No. Lots of independent checks before any ice core is considered to be valid evidence of anything.

Humans have effectively been made extinct in a few vulnerable environments by means of legal sanctions. Unfortunately other invasive species have to be made locally extinct the hard way. Feral cats on small islands is one example where this can be done.

Good research. In the bad old days hardly anyone had food that could destroy teeth.

'australia lead in pipes' provided some references. e.g. This is from 2016 and may have been more publicised recently ‘Widespread’ lead contamination of domestic tap water found in NSW Lead contamination doesn't seem to be a major problem in NSW.

Shame the article's behind a paywall.... The proposed detectors are complementary to LIGO etc. From https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.01859 GW astronomy is getting very interesting... /edit this may be the preprint - too much information for me... https://export.arxiv.org/pdf/1811.05885

In hard water areas a protective film forms inside the pipes, reducing leaching of lead from the pipes. With soft water, especially if it is acidic, leaching is significantly greater. IIRC, reckless changes in water sources in Flint caused a major increase in contamination from pipes as well as from the sources. The contamination you're exposed to depends on these factors as well as your pipes. Perhaps a chemist on this site will supply more reliable information.

A reference would help; I couldn't find anything about publishing in nature. 'the generally held misconception that ‘nothing can travel faster than the speed of light’ is wrong.”' is certainly not held by (m)any physicists. This sounds similar to quantum tunnelling; e.g. a particle with uncertain position has its .0001% 'leading edge' tunnel through a barrier and the particle gets detected; this can seem superluminal simply because the position of calculated maximum probability has changed FTL.

Actually, helium doesn't change the resonant wavelength of the vocal cavities, but since sound travels faster in helium, the frequency has to be higher to maintain the same wavelength. Similarly, harmonics are also shifted higher in frequency. The frequency remains higher if the sound is conducted to normal air.

If you assume a Universe which is filled only with CMWBR than you will get a Black Hole of Radius 1967 Gyr see: http://internet-berater.bplaced.net/About_the_cosmological_Problem.html More consistency questions to complement Studiot's points. Why ignore the CNBR which at ~1.95K has significant effect along with the CMBR at ~2.72K? And of course the negative gravitational energy of stars etc.

Er... no it doesn't make sense. With no relative movement of the media, a sound wave (entering) water has the same frequency as it does in air. (As sound travels faster in water its wavelength in water at any given frequency is longer than in air.)

LMGTFY. For some reason the link embedded.

Quotes 'referencing' 'youtube talk' without a youtube reference. Complete waste of time.

Like almost everyone, I didn't see the talk. A quote, with reference, indicating why you think Steve Bannon is objective and logical might make a response possible. Youtube video not acceptable....

https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.213903 The article seems to be behind a paywall. Anyone read it?

There seems to be an implicit assumption that a "Children's Dictionary" is a good thing. Are there really children who want to have a dictionary where they can only look up things like 'cut and paste' which they already know, and are happy that 'almond cake' or 'didgeridoo' refer to things they're not old enough to understand. I suspect any child who is capable and willing to look up a child's dictionary would much prefer one where almost any word can be found, even if it requires several seconds to find it. You could always have explicitly censored dictionaries to suit parents'/private schools' views. Children's Dictionary omitting e.g. 'swearwords or scatalogical words or derogatory words or similar' so your child uses these words in ignorance rather than malice. 'evolution and anything supposedly before 4004 B.C. omitted but intelligent design and climate conspiracy included.' 'intelligent design and all criticism of global warming theories omitted' etc. Of course it's simpler to continue to have a Children's Dictionary designed to offend no one.....

One tip to go with all iNow's questions: Choose something which can be built in less than six months.

Are you using a different definition from the usual e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle Is there a scientific explanation for this miracle? (i.e. pi=3)
