Naked girls dancing around the fire made me think of Woodstock for some reason.

Like clockwork... Pint of centipedes and plate of inchworms coming right up!

Never? The microwave wavelengths are chosen for good penetration into the food. Although the food nearest the surface does tend to absorb more than food further, the food further can actually get hotter as the thermal energy has further to go to escape and may also, depending on the microwave design, and the geometry and any lack of homogeneity of the food, actually absorb more than a similar volume near the surface. So the temperature can build up more toward the middle depending on quite a number of factors.. So sometimes the food does actually cook from the inside out, even if this wasn't the explanation given to you as a non scientist, by an advertiser non scientist.

TFG or That Florida Guy? Either way, can the GOP win in 2024?

Gotta get that sugar fix...even though you know it's bad for you both short and long term? Though I would say the price of the Oreos seems potentially much greater. -

A lot of motivation for both Haley and Desantis camps to come second, I would expect. No idea with regard to the Tump followers...I can't really understand them at this point as the cheap and easy backlash rhetoric against the extreme left rhetoric that tends to go unchallenged by the more moderate left seems well represented by Desantis. Maybe Desantis just doesn't seem dictator enough for them? -
First of all good questions for the most part. +1 I'll answer the easy one I bolded. No one would have any practical ideas on how this could be done. The theory is based on much more local experimentation and results. I think there have been experiments done that limit the number of photons, and I think it is somewhat done statistically but others here should give a more accurate answer. `

Control no, but at times the Hippie Dippy Marine Weatherman would have had some influence....

LOL, I said the exact opposite but I think it's just about how one would define it. It's either nowhere and does not exist or it's everywhere with no favoured position. ..and of course no centre of the Universe. Not that I'm 100% on the Big Bang theory but it's currently the best we have and nothing else is remotely close. In any case Paulsrocket has significant errors in even the most basic understanding of the theory. It really isn't necessary to believe it to understand it better than displayed in his posts unless he has some mental block or is intentionally misrepresenting it. If he could grasp the basics, he would see that it fits the data, rather than claim it can't be true because we would see this huge void.

Would the 1960s hippies be considered Pagans?

Only if you assume your model (your understanding) is correct. If as I claimed ground zero is everywhere, you need to struggle with logic or math not to realize that under that assumption there is 100% chance the Earth (like everywhere else) is at ground zero. But it isn't. Kind of throws your model (your understanding) out the window, does it not?

Trump's thought process: "Sure but...what does that have to do with me?" -

If there is any argument that condemns the current Republican Party more than this does it is certainly not obvious, at least to me. -
Why did blue eyes proliferate?

Thanks Okay. I thought you might have been replying to my post since you quoted it, and in the context of my post it was pretty ambiguous to say the least. -
Why did blue eyes proliferate?
J.C.MacSwell replied to TheVat's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
I was only assuming a single common ancestor based on the claim in the link, I was going to later ask how that was known. Is it determined that that specific haplotype can only have come from a single mutation event and not been duplicated by some other identical mutation rather than only from being passed on? -

J.C.MacSwell replied to TheVat's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
Hadn't realized they had all survived. They should interview that single common ancestor... Or did you mean they all successfully reproduced....which is not quite as unlikely.... Or did you mean any that didn't...failed for some other reason...which is slightly plausible but impossible for you to know... If you simply meant te relevant gene or genes survived, what in any of my posts might suggest it didn't? There is certainly no evidence that the gene/s proliferated fully or equally everywhere. Simply put, no evidence of any disadvantage is not evidence there is none.
