Soggy Bottom was probably a bog/marsh area. In the US there's Froggy Bottom and that was named for its land type. I find it interesting that street names denote what the area was and maybe the only clue. Being 61, I've seen places disappear under street/ road signs and commerce and that's all that's left.

Does it matter if it responds as you would expect? How do I know that you personally don't have an AI source running inside you?

Things that are easily disassembled could be sent to be dipped and stripped by a commercial service, then you'll just have the immovable bits to do. That way you are reducing exposure.

Prighozin has been a useful indicator regarding overall Russian infantry morale. Do people think China and Russia place too much confidence in being the biggest countries geographically, and having a much larger armed conscription ability? I don't think nuclear capability comes into it either because everyone is too close... these are not scalpels. All combatants desire to control the areas likely to be nuked. I quote the immortal Spock: "It's not logical, Captain..."

Parole is strategically rationed as well.

I think they promised a clean charge sheet and other benefits. Prison life is very hard there, apparently.

The convicts have been used for sacrificial, attritional WW1-style seige tactics. Five or six at a time, used as canaries, to pinpoint Ukrainian positions when they return fire. My main source for the details is the US ISoW. It's obviously pro-NATO, but it seems reasonably consistent. Moscow Times as well to try and get some insight from the pro-Democracy Russian side.

I think they use the emission spectra from a type 1A Supernova as a standard candle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_Ia_supernova

The problem is when one thinks of 'the universe' as an object, it means that you intuitively have to put it in something... a metaphorical container.

Corded appliances are the pits where they have to be moved and manipulated. I get 2 or 3 years out of Makita or Bosch Green batteries, which are the tool systems I've bought into. Don't know about unleaded rules over the pond, but we have gone on to E10 petrol/gas, which is not great for engines. The petrol will absorb more water in storage. I use a petrol preservative to mitigate it.

Send a text greeting, especially with teens. because their eyes never leave the fucking screen.

From what I undestand, not much, experiments, like LIGO, detect gravitational waves, which may allow scientists to infer things they can't measure directly.

The pre-Planck Universe was not a space to be filled. Until you put objects in it spatial distance didn't exist probably nor did time.

I've just started doing that and just needed to flip the buttons to preserve symmetry.

@swansont Some sites change the username to 'guest'. I remember a US site changed mine to 'Liberal Something'. Made me laugh.

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.

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.
