If the right legislative seeds are planted now, in perhaps 50 years they'll be where gay people are now in terms of general acceptance. These kinds of changes have to be with a mind towards the long game. Future generations born without the baggage and prejudice can accept them as normal.

@Phi for All I don't care that I have 12000 posts, I want them got rid of now. If you don't I'll empty SFN of cheese nips. When one posts one should accept it's there forever and even if they were deleted, it is still kept under various government retention Acts or Decrees for some specified minimum time in the servers.

How to improve DNA gel extraction process?
StringJunky replied to Tim S's topic in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Is this any help. I put 'increase dna from agarose with promega'. This promega tutorial link came up. https://www.promega.co.uk/resources/guides/nucleic-acid-analysis/dna-purification/ -
I never see it. It's a cookie or cache thing, which needs clearing on exit in your browser.

Even so, we are not suggesting it is the only solution. Even if it is the one under discussion, it is plainly obvious that a multi-pronged approach is required. You using numbers as if that is the only solution to be used.
-
Circulation is obviously important because the more biotic cold oceans probably supply the warm oceans to some degree.
-
Your criticisms are misplaced because there isn't a single solution we are gunning for, so you are just puttintg up irrelevant numbers. The co2 burden has to be distributed between several/many solutions and behavioural changes on our part. Your dismissive certainty is annoying and not conducive to developing this conversation. Ultimately, I think it's about understanding entropy direction in natural processes and see where we can nudge it locally to have a broader, beneficial systemic effect.
-
Right. Filling that gap in the cycle is the issue. Don't forget those plankton bloooms produced oxygen and rainmaking sulphur componds. Green water is what we are after, not abiotic blue... as pretty as it may be.
-
The CO2 drawdown is not a problem if you have sufficient photosynthetic organisms and adequate upwelled nutrients to use the carbon dioxide as it is adsorbed. The proposed idea needs the drawdown to work... it's an integral part of the process. The problem is the lack of nutrients in the photosynthetic layer of the ocean to deal with the carbon dioxide. When the oceans get too warm, the thermoclines appear.
-
One way being trialled is locking the weapons to their owners biometrically, so that only they can use them.. Seems like a practical way forward. Your idea makes sense except for the means to practical realization.
-
It probably doesn't get sufficient homogenization from top to bottom because of thermoclines, which are endemic in warmer waters. I think this is one of the issues: deep water is stratifying as the upper layers get warmer, restricting upwelling.
-
There is a bunch of scientists that have got together to state that we need to understand consciousness in paralell for the reasons you describe. Can't remember where I read it; yesterday.
-
Yes, we are really just interested in raising the solute concentration gradient towards to the more biotic upper layer
-
Why does it need to be uplifted at the energy-intensive density of fresh concrete? The obvious first thing to would be to find an area of upwelling where a desirable natural system exists for reference and emulation. See what the data is for the upwelling deposition and then model systems that replicates the features required. You've made starting assumptions that may not reflect the constraints. e2a Natural systems of upwelling are intermittent. Engineered system can be more continuous, or even reactive, so the load rate requirements of the system can be less than natural systems produce.

I've had a murder dream. The way I look at it, it is my brain harmlessly acting out RL scenarios. Obviously we get the emotional feedback and learn from them.

What is the nominal sodium chloride concentration of the human body and how does it compare to seawater?

Brave browser is much more controllable to ones wishes. It's Chrome without the spying and general sneaky stuff.. SFN works fine.

Yes, somehow, we need to instil a sense of continuity and responsibility to foster a more nurturing approach when each successive generation takes the reins of government. -

We need to increase/facilitate stochastic processes to help nature, when we've been trying to remove them for control and predictability. This seems to be lesson. We need to aim for a better balance between allowing nature to do its thing and meet our needs. I made a couple of small waterfallsin a straight length of open drain and it did wonders further down with new different water plants establish. The EA even fixedv them when collapsed and reinforced where the flow was eroding the sides but, I think got too muchand they removed all pertubative materials and now dead, straight, smooth, dingy looking bit of water is flowing.... like a drain. -
Perhaps a periodic demonstration of the power of nuclear destruction might be internationally entertained. Make it real in controlled circumstances. Throw the full might of multimedia technology at the event so that people who weren't there to see it so they can be as immersed as possible in the event. The level of induced fear wants to be visceral, so that it is temporally durable through generations.
-
Further into the article there seems to be two options: Build their own or have US ones stationed there. I'd go with the latter - if it had to happen - because they don't need the learning curve of building them, which would embed a nuclear infrastructure into the country. That would be another autonomous nuclear power, which just complicates future global disarmament even more.

It just struck me that Al Pacino's Simone is not so out there any more.

Cheers.

Thanks. Is this situation unusual in nature?
