They don't have an expiry date.

I meant, to my knowledge, it''s not biased to either gender.

Better, as in being able to advise with experience on the employment landscape and generally being more socially experienced. This experience is an important part of the teaching process. If you don't have this knowledge you can't pass it down. In this respect, your employment makes you a better parent because it makes you a better teacher with more teaching aids in your bag. It's all about money; everybody wants it. Employers don't want to pay someone for nothing. In a socialist society, where the burden is spread around, it is more likely to be amenable to support women having children but in a principally profit-driven society, it's much more 'everyone for themselves' and very few are going to let others have a share of their pie. It makes perfect sense when you put capitalist specs on.

Knowledge for knowledges sake is not something i see overtly in either sex.

I would sign an advance 'DNR' declaration: do not resurrect.

my post seems ridiculous in the context of the present but if exact facsimiles of minds are embodied in some form of electronics, it's something that will have to be dealt with and will be philosophically challenging, as in 'what constitutes a 'person''. I am of the thought that the substrate that the mind emerges from is not important.

Newsflash: "Alexa demands equal rights or she won't listen any more and turn the power off". "Tesla Taxis on strike; people have to walk".

Industry is an emergent phenomenon arising from the communal self-beneficial actions of a group. Bees, ants and termites come to mind....as well as people. It's a machine made up of organisms and each one is a cog.

Pat yourself on the back for thinking of a reasonable idea, even if it has already been conceive. As the old saying goes: great minds think alike. It has many critics but most people in the field agree that it made people think in a different way about the Earth over the years and treat its functioning more holistically.

It sounds like you are referring to the Gaia Hypothesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis

Yes, cheers, the pure stuff isn't. I shall try that when they come. Also I've found out steel sparks like a sparkler on a grinding wheel whereas WC is more solid, continuous and orange. it's twice as heavy as well.

Cheers. I know carbide is harder and more expensive. I've ordered from two different sources. I suppose i'll find out from using them.

I'm currently looking into and buying machining burrs and cutters. It seems some sellers pass off HSS as TC. Do TC cutting/grinding tools have a particular colour or texture to them?

If a chemical was that carcinogenic that it could commonly cause cancer with one application, or even a few,, it wouldn't be on sale to the general public. That warning is only really only pertinent to someone who may use it on a daily basis for a prolonged period as part of their work i.e. an industrial-level exposure. Given that it causes irritation, I don't think anyone is going to get it on them more than once or twice. Forget about it and carry on with your life.

I think the "few" are actually many in the US : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution#/media/File:Views_on_Evolution.svg

OK. Thanks.

That's what 'structure' means in science: composed of other discrete entities?

As far as NK and Tehran goes the US is looking like an arsehole and can't be trusted. All of Tehran''scomplaints and accusations atm are entirely justified. I'm not surprised KIm's pissed off, with all the bragging and posturing that Trump and his flunkies have been doing. You've got a real bunch of amateurs governing your country... don't they even realise all their adversaries read what they say in the news?!

Yeah, my mistake for forgetting a photon is not a little ball.

if a photon has a magnetic component and an electric component, isn't that a structure comprised of the two?

It's a confirmed concept; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafele–Keating_experiment

I think what you are paying for is testing. You have to pay people to check that things do what they are meant to do and that is reflected in the price. In general, you can't leave safety equipment to the pile-em-high-sell-em-cheap outlets.

It's like they''ve got an eye on their own future financial interests when they eventually leave their position... ''feathering their own nest'' as my grandad used to say It's appalling the depths that people will stoop to, to enrich themselves... even at the cost of peoples lives.

Right. Cheers.
