Yeah I rule

It's called electroencephalogram neurofeedback, and the technology is at least 10 years old. http://www.sti.nasa.gov/tto/spinoff2003/hm_2.html http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/purpl/level2/latimes_story.html http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/news/Jan1999/EvenPeopleWhoAreCompletelyParalysedCanTeachTheirBrains.html

Holding some is one thing - immersing your hand in what is essentially a giant heat sink is another matter.

Humans are better insulated than flowers. Plus we generate heat, which helps to evaporate that pesky nitrogen.

Yes, that's just Alpha wave induction which is quite easy to train and simple to use. Been around for ages.

I stop myself being tazered by not going near people with tazers and calling them names.

That's just evaporation/condensation, which you ruled out in the first post. It will work very well, but it's not the most energy-efficient method.

No, you're just reading it in the wrong direction. See - back on/t again.

That depends if you mean females or a female (and tbh I know plenty of males who would qualify).

That carries a risk of creating a King Pseudoscientist, like Adam et al, but I'm happy with that

Sticking with the classics I see

Try to get this through your thick skull: There is no evidence of a civilisation on Mars, past or present.

Iirc you are meant to vent as much air from your lungs as possible if sudden decompression is likely. Or maybe I dreamed that.

I know exactly what you mean, and I wouldn't go as far as to label you as being a 'tree hugger' just on that evidence (I assume you mean "one who has unreasonably idealistic demands that can be easily dismissed", rather than "one who hugs trees"). I'm just saying that 'parasitism' is the wrong word. Because it is. Biology as a discipline does not recognise the Gaya hypothesis, and what we've done to earth is not relevant if earth is not an organism. If it were there'd be no differentiation between our use of resources and the resource consumption of other species, and everything would be a parasite. Then we'd need a new word for describing the action of what we currently call parasites.

Well, someone's going to. He might have meant making C4 and taping it to someone's head is more fun than shooting them

You're countering with a copy 'n' paste from dictionary.com? That's just insulting. A dictionary definition (even one giving a quick version of its so-called "biology definition") is no substitute for the actual biological definition, believe me. Even if I were to subscribe to your definition, which I don't (since it doesn't actually mention many of the defining characteristics of parasites), you'd still have to show conclusively that Earth is an organism.

We've already been over that in this thread. It remains their primary function, and always will. The fact that a good number of gun owners enjoy a reasonable and regulated sport does not change the nature of the tools they employ, much less for those who do not own their guns for sports reasons.

No. That's not parasitism. It's not some vague term you can bandy about at anything you think is badness; it has a specific biological meaning.

Is that a bribe?

Humans aren't parasites. You lose

Errr... I think you missed your chance on that one

I used to live up the road from that horse. Odd but true.

This calls for me getting drunk!
