  1. They might have more children per capita but that's a policy decision, or other social reason, not because of reproductive viability. If you persist with your argument, you need to tell us the physiological mechanism by which religion affects fertility.
  2. Just because two things occur together does not necessarily mean that one is the cause of the other. It could be but it shouldn't be assumed.
  3. What's fertility got to do with religion? Absurd. Fertility is a biological process unaffected by ones religious belief. How can what one thinks affect it?
  4. Quantum elecrodynamics may not be fully understood but it is very well understood.
  5. Amongst others but they are not really driven by religious ideology, although the end result is the same: social division
  6. It isn''t in terms of it's actual population but the right-wing want it to be, it would appear
  7. Yes, it should be noted that Jewish political society should not seen as one single entity. I have read there is resistance/alarm from some within that quarter who see the way it may be heading.
  8. It's rather unfortunate connection, don't you think. Having said that they did/do use skunk's naughty bits and whale vomit in the perfume industry
  9. i thought the outlet was called a stench pipe. In perfumery, it is pronounced 'see-yarzh' (Fr) it seems and not 'sillidge' which is probably what''s used in the water treatment industry.
  10. Todays 'BBC News: Netanyahu does rebuff it in the report. Does Erdogan, as bad as he is as well, know a duck when he sees one?
  11. The coconut smell chemical you are looking for is gamma-nonalactone (IUPAC Name: 5-pentyloxolan-2-one), which you could buy and add to your preparation or isolate it from your oil and concentrate it. http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1000532.html
  12. Increasing the intensity of the smell is basically a function of the concentration of the coconut-signature volatile compounds, so you would probably need to isolate and concentrate those compounds by some sort of distillation process, probably. There might possibly be additive compounds that can synergistically enhance those elements of the scent but it's way outside of my knowledge and is probably very specialist. Edit: Just had a thought from remembering my fishing days. Get some dessicated coconut and spread it out on some suitable metalplate for toasting under a toaster. Toast the coconut gently until it is lightly brown but DON'T scorch it. you might have to practice but you can get a pretty strong coconut smell from that and you could powder it and use that as your coconut base and add that to the dipropylene glycol and let it sit for some time.
  13. What does "enormous sillage" mean? The longevity of a perfume depends on what the fragrance is carried in, which determines the rate it is dispersed. Ambergris has traditionally been used in high-end perfumes but is extremely expensive. You could look into dipropylene glycol as a start which seems to be in quite widespread use in the scent industries and will handle water-based, alcohol-based and oil-based base fragrances. To start you off, read these: https://www.perfumersworld.com/product/dipropylene-glycol-dpg-0ZW00165 https://www.leaf.tv/articles/why-is-dipropylene-glycol-used-in-perfumes/
  14. <sings> There'll always be an England! Compared to some other countries, we are making better headway in becoming cosmopolitan and in legal principle we are. Where the law points, the people follow, kicking and screaming, until they think "Hey, this isn''t so bad after all". It's the young ones that follow the new path without much resistance and the old ones die off. That's why it takes a couple of generations to see marked social change. Edit. Just read this, hot off Reuters:
  15. When nations wish to preserve who they are, instead of working towards evolving into a new co-operative state, there will always be conflict.
  16. Thinking about this: 'reality' can only ever be how things interact with other things. As a macro-analogy: how you interact with me will be different to how you interact with somebody else. Which interaction of the two reveals your true nature?
  17. Yes, it seems it's not a simple job. Use of chemical disinfectants in mushroom production. pdf
  18. Your non-porous surfaces are the easiest to clean, which bleach should be perfectly adequate. I'm not sure if English is your first language but 'non-porous' means smooth and won't absorb anything, including spores. Even on porous surfaces, bleach should be fine as long as you dry them out properly. Plain, diluted bleach will just evaporate.
  19. This mushroom seed spawn/culture supplier uses 10% bleach solution (sodium hypochlorite) to clean surfaces and scrub the air. They use calcium hydroxide to sterilize substrates. Obviously, make sure you've got the correct PPE (personal protection equipment) for sterilizing (misting) the air. http://www.funguys.co.za/mushroom-cultivation-tips/growing-mushrooms/cold-water-sterilize-with-calcium-hydroxide/
  20. Whoever's doing the most steroids.
  21. That doesn't change what he might have meant though. We are from all over the world and stuff can mean different things to different people but I am aware of the subtle difference between those two statements, which may have passed over Ten oz''s head. I'm not being deprecating btw.
  22. What's important is MigL''s intention, not what you think he means. I'm sure he will clarify.
  23. "Not being concerned" usually means that one thinks there isn't a problem, whereas when "one doesn't care" that usually means there is a problem but one is indifferent. "My daughter has measles but I'm not concerned (for a bad prognosis)" "My mother is ill but I don't care (if she dies)"
  24. I think the thing is to look at the situation and its history and not take sides; they are both as bad as each other. i just look at who is holding up progress and imo it's Israel. As a similar aside, I think it's Iran that's being shit on currently, even though I don't support their way life at all. I'm all behind China as well in the same way; they are playing the capitalist game and winning but Trump doesn't like it. I'm judging the current behaviours of the players and not the ideologies.
