  1. This is true. If they had been from anywhere else then my position would stand. She was allegedly trying to shift US stuff from within US. I suppose that kills my part of the question on the Korean. You mean Trump?
  2. Take the current situation with Iran. The US is trying to subvert our desire to continue with our agreement. They are trying to force us to comply with their change of mind. This is what I meant by "extending compliance".
  3. Like what? The US wants to sit at the top of the hill, so, naturally, it gets the attention. The US should respect others autonomy. Let's not forget: the US has unilaterally reneged on our collective honour in an international agreement.
  4. He's on about the effect of two panes on light coming in.
  5. Yes and telling them what they can and cannot do, as though they rule everywhere.
  6. Yes, this is the long-term solution necessary to solve this problem of US dominance. It's not been a problem until this administration took over and is abusing that position. With great power comes great responsibility and it's currently in the hands of idiots. It looks like the trust given to the US as the de facto centre is going to wane.
  7. The ongoing case with Huawei''s chief financial officer allegedly subverting sanctions to Iran is what prompted this question. This also spins off to the EU finding ways to keep Iran supplying oil outside the US financial system and contravening its sanctions.My own opinion on the matter is that I hope the present US administration utterly fails with this policy towards Iran. What's your thoughts on the wider question in my title?
  8. Yes. Dual panes will absorb more heat-producing UVB, UVC, Thermal IR and Far IR; Near IR and UVA passes through, which lie adjacent either side of the visible spectrum. Two panes basically filter out more rays that would otherwise warm the room.
  9. Yeah, bread is tricky. It wants partially covering in a box, then when it's done, leaving for a couple minutes to let the outside evaporate some moisture, otherwise it feels soggy.
  10. Thank you.
  11. I would dessicate it and keep it in a hermetically-sealed glass container in the dark to keep uv off it.
  12. I use one (combi) all the time and it's just practice and familiarity to get stuff how you want it. The thing is to treat it like a microwave and not a conventional cooker; it's a different technique. It's a 'Luddite' problem with those that have issues. The things to know is that it penetrates about an inch when cooking and may need to sit a couple of minutes to allow the temperature to even out in the food.
  13. Cancer cells are normal cells with messed up DNA. Their surface signatures are likely the same as normal cells, so killer cells can't tell the difference.
  14. You are slipperier than an eel. You said it was "creepy" that he was 60 and she 29 and I responded to that..
  15. At 29 years old, one should have ones head screwed on and no what one wants, whether it be an older person or not. If she was sub-20 you could call it exploitation of the naive but you wouldn't expect so in this case.
  16. Boil water (or heat to a safe temperature if it needs to be lower than 100C) and then stand the tank in it, with no ignition sources around...blow or vacuum vapours. Or maybe water-cooled disc cutting. Another idea might be to stick a vacuum cleaner hose inside with the machine on whilst cutting.
  17. There needs to to be a concerted vaccination programme for it in Africa.
  18. Hunting practice.
  19. You don't know what you don't know. The stuff that is mainstream has been rigorously and repeatedly tested... and even then, scientists keep half an eye open that it might still not be a full description of nature. To the idea that scientists are entrenched as a matter of faith couldn't be further from the truth. The truth is that the people who complain that the science community is closed-minded don't have a real clue about what they are talking about.
  20. Why are you asking such pointless questions?
  21. Probably best to warm the tank on the outside first to let the gas/petrol escape into the interior from the wall then blow it out with an airline for a minute or two. Petrol is not miscible with water and the trapped petrol in the wall pores will stay trapped.
