  1. I won't argue with that as HFCS is refined.
  2. I think the question illustrates the consequences on reasoning of being generally brought up in a science-free environment. No snarkiness intended.
  3. Fructose in oranges is no different to fructose in high-fructose corn syrup.
  4. If Charon was in error, Arete would pick him up on it and vice versa. Along with Hyper, who's strong in biochem, you've got three people more than adequately knowledgeable together to answer your question.
  5. Yes, his idea is just adding to the potential infectious load in the long term. Also, his bred bacteria need to have some clear existential or reproductive advantage in the designated environmental niche that favours their presence over the pathogens, if they are to be useful in that regimen.
  6. We can't all have the same funny bones.
  7. Has it occurred to you that you might be pursuing a train of thought which only makes sense to you but in reality can't fly and that's what charon and hyper are trying to relay to you. I would associate 'benign' with colonizing and infection with pathogens.
  8. Why does a person infected with the benign strain need it clearing? The beauty of ignorance is that everything is so clear. You are not normally this persistent.
  9. The bar ufo sightings have to jump is scientific peer review.
  10. Some sort of disequilibrium favouring movement of carbon dioxide in that direction.
  11. So, an object being constant is a function of the object not feeling any acceleration at any time ( it moves with a constant rate of motion) and being invariant is a function of an observer not measuring any difference in the speed of an object moving at a constant rate, regardless of their own speed? It's a matter of the FoR which determines which word is used?
  12. It's the way scientific discussion is done, otherwise it's just hand waving.
  13. I think the modern methods are a reflection of the true, short-lived nature of our activities as we go through life. The concept of material permanence of personal data seems to have gone out of fashion because, really, most things we consume cognitively we do so only once. There is no point having something that will not be used by oneself again. It's better for future-resource availability as well. Physical daily newspapers are a prime example of extravagant wastage for an ephemeral purpose when we can now consume the news without downing trees.
  14. Does it make sense that perhaps the universe, as we venture back in time, operated under a different physics that we can't know because those conditions no longer exist. To us, in our present time, beyond a certain point in the past it just looks like a dead end.
  15. I read something about the connection with SIDS and inner ear damage in babies. Perhaps the key point not noted is cardiac regulation is only controlled this way in the infant stage until the main regulatory mechanism/sensors matures and kicks in; I cannot remember where those sensors are. In the animal studies, this transfer to the other regulatory mechanism may occur at a different time or may even not be controlled by the inner ear at any time in animal's early development; different physiology. Hence, perhaps, the apparent anomaly.
  16. How many times have you read MTW?
  17. Yeah, sod's law is heavily stacked against the remote driver.
  18. This OP is just a hypothetical discussion initiated by Charon for SFN members and not an active policy. Although I agree with the essence of your thoughts regarding the US establishement and Israel, it is an unnecessary distraction in this discussion.
  19. The warm seeas, above 13c, have thermoclines, which is an intermediate temperature layer that prevents the nutrient-laden deeper water mixing with the upper layer where the photosynthetic marine life is. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/thermocline.html
  20. I think that how long ago an event appears to be is based on the degree of diversity or originality of experiences since that event. If you 9-to-5-it everyday day with little change, then you have less events in between to create a sense of much time passing. You ignore the experiences that are repeated when creating this sense of time-distance. When you are younger, the proportion of original experiences to routine experiences is much greater and therefore time seems slower.
  21. Who said anything about thinking with them. You need to stop listening to JC and think for yourself.
  22. Is that all you can pull up... his private life?
  23. At least he's got some bollocks.
  24. I would ask myself , if I was an Ordinary Joe, whether I had issues with paranoia.
  25. You could get a burner on a long lance. You just need to cook the weeds enough to destroy the enzyme processes in them, not burn them to a cinder
