There are losses in any closed system - friction will cause losses dissipated as heat, for example.

Right, but not all wolf populations would show it, would they? I'm not saying this with any degree of confidence but it seems to make sense to me.

To OP: If we take a population of dogs and analyse their DNA and then do the same with wolves, I think you would find DNA evidence of wolves in all dogs but not the other way around; not all wolves carried the mutation which led to dogs, so we can surmise, with a high degree of confidence, that dogs came after wolves.

Science doesn't do proof, it can only say something is likely with some degree of probability, which can be expressed mathematically.

It's probably not how it's cooked but how long it's cooked, which may break down the cells more completely, which may increase the available nutrients and raise the GI. Instant mash granules will likely have all or more of the cells broken than whole potatos, which allows faster uptake of the nutrients and, hence, a higher GI.

Right. However you do it, if you are diabetic, let your resultant blood sugar levels be your guide on how much to have. I think someone with Type 1, like iNow, has a pretty good idea of the do's and don'ts.

From what I've been reading there doesn't seem to be a massive difference. From this article, it seems you can eat it but have to make adjustments in the total carbs for the day. Is that right, so it's all about working to a constant carbohydrate budget?

Right. Cheers.

I am reminded of an expression someone wrote: the pursuit of perfection is the enemy of excellent.

Is the lack of information just due to the fact that the red-shifted wavelength is too long for us to currently detect and, consequently, as technology improves our Hubble horizon will increase in size?

They can make them down to 10T TNT. Here's a video of a W54, with a 10-1000KT yield, going off at 18T:

His has turned into 1 now but yours is a cucumber.

Cheers. Upon giving you a rep it is green and zero. Never seen one of those before.

Would you say the purest research one might do is during an MSc/PhD? But the only trouble is you don't get paid.

Bitcoin is made from the same material that the king's new clothes are made from.

Also, i would say if you have views that are way off-centre in terms of the general membership you can expect more. it doesn't make those people necessarily right, it's just their opinion. If you are firm and honest about your opinions take the flak. I kind of know what's going to rattle people but I still post because non-scientific discussions are often necessarily adversarial and emotive. I counter what are, I think, unjustified negatives as well. Don't attach too much weight to positive rep as they are often given for the most frivolous of reasons and I do too.

You could pm a mod to see if their is a vendetta going on by a single poster.

Talk about Pot calling Kettle. Women; just can't keep their hands to themselves.

The actual delivery vehicle dimensions will remain the same, as will the physics package inside which is the bomb itself. By 'smaller', they mean in terms of explosive yield... the area of destruction will be less. They can dial in different yields with the same physics package within limits. I think the current lower limit is about 3000 Tonnes of TNT equivalent, up to 400 000 Tonnes TNT.

A similar situation here. Greys are aliens from the US and they displace the reds.

I was kidding. Grey squirrels are a menace and quite destructive.

That's quite possible that i mixed up. Yes, I would think it started later.

I'm on about using milk products in Europe and Cheddar man is British. I've lost the article for that figure but this one puts it at a bit less: 7200 - 6800 years. The souring of milk was important to convert the lactose to lactic acid which allowed people in Europe to consume vitamin D and not rely so much on sunshine.

It's mental a first world nation not having it. But that's America.
