  1. I don't know anything about it but found this Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decellularization
  2. I think acid vs sugar balance and even acid type (citric, malic etc) between the fruits will make your taste judgement for sugar content unreliable.
  3. The pattern that arises results from the hard-wired behaviour of the universe's individual components. That part is not random, only the incidence of collision between those components is, which would allow them to react. edited.
  4. I don't think this is the intended direction of the OP. It''s not about recreational uses and actually about using it therapeutically in a professional setting.
  5. Yeah.
  6. Brain salad surgery.
  7. There might be logistical/legal problems with it.
  8. Clearly not. All I can think of is to do with the probability of cross-fertilisation by insect/animal/wind vectors, in that the longest flowering plants may have evolved that way due to a lower probability of getting fertilised.
  9. Possibly 2 because they have more sunshine, for longer periods and warmth to make the sugars. If you notice, the largest temperate fruits are smaller too than the largest tropical ones.
  10. Yes, my memory is of it is also not lucid. I wasn't suggesting there was a fixed preset length but I assume that is probably an average when it flits between the phases. I also imagine there will be lots of bodily factors that will influence when these phases occur in any individual.
  11. I think certain mushrooms, with those chemicals in, are being explored for use in treatments for long-term depressive illnesses. They think they might 'reset' the brain, in a way analogous to electro-convulsive therapy.
  12. Head hair has three growth phases and in one of those the hair narrows and breaks off under much less tension than in the other phases. I think the maximum general length is 3ft of growth then it narrows.
  13. "Imbuto con bobina" is funnel with coil.
  14. It seems its not important because our breathing is part of the global carbon cycle, so there is a negligible net change. The real problem is unlocking sequestered carbon gases in the form of fossil fuels which adds to the global concentration.
  15. That reminds me of Lister in ''Red Dwarf" snogging a slimey alien when he thinks he's with some fantasy woman. Having said that, it just goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and a good job too, or else their would be more spinsters and bachelors than there is just because they don't conform to some fixed standard.
  16. Yep, and, if it's used, the 'tiny' only refers to our visible universe and yet the whole universe could be infinite. I love how crystal clear and obvious science is... it leaves me very puzzled why newcomers have difficulty understanding.
  17. When envisaging this situation, people often put themselves 'outside' the universe and it leads them to that wrong conclusion.
  18. Shame on you, there are some things you should never share. How does one unthink what one has seen?
  19. Frida Kahlo came to my mind. Gotta say, after that, Freddy was gorgeous. I'm speechless otherwise.
  20. I think it depends if the whole compound is the active ingredient. If not, they usually state the amount of the active ingredient as well. For example, if you were taking zinc tablets in the form of zinc citrate, it might say "50mg zinc citrate tablets, of which 15mg is zinc". You are interested in the amount of active ingredient which is the zinc and base your dosage on that..
  21. 'I' means that you can see yourself as a second person i.e detached. You can see yourself, in your mind, in place and time.
  22. I think this is reprehensible: It's nice to see that at least two Republicans. in Sessions and Mueller, are committed to the principle of law and aren't letting go. Trump's got to go asap.
  23. It's a 21st century way of asking if a god or higher being exists or not.
