Would you care to explain what you mean by that diagram?

I wonder where you get a function like y=tan(exp(ax^2+bx+c)).

One is one too many Because swimming pools and bikes are not actually designed to kill and because the guns are absolutely unnecessary Did you really not know that? re. "Ah the sirens song. All we need is a few minor adjustments to your rights and the government can bring you an endless stream of sunshine, lolly pops, and rainbows. Your rights only need to be rolled back a bit and before you know it the government will feed, burp and tuck you in bed at night. Think of how happy you will be when those pesky rights are all gone. How do we know you will be happy? Because we will tell you that you are. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope Please don't do that again; it's a breach of rule 4.

"Yes, I am clear. Your assertion has nothing to do with my experiment so your assertions are contrary to my 37% relative humidity, i.e. opposed in character. You have made no assertion about what would happen in my experiment. Perfectly clear, thank you. That observation is not contrary to what I said; it's in perfect agreement with what I said. What I said was that If the humidity is high enough then water will condense into the solution; the pretty obvious corollary is that if the humidity is low then the water will evaporate from the salt solution. It did. You might want to try again with a saturated solution of calcium chloride and see what happens.

Lets be clear about this. I only said what would happen if the humidity was 75% or above. You have done no experiment at 75% or above. Your observations have nothing to do with my assertion. They can't confirm or refute it. (I should have pointed out that the 75% figure is for a saturated solution; for dilute solutions you need an even higher humidity for condensation to take place)

Can you clarify your definition of "everyone".

So, let's be quite clear about this. " Those lost lives are the price we pay for keeping all of our rights thereby enabling the rest of our population to achieve their full potential as human beings. Freedom isn't free. Americans have always understood that. " You really think that dead children are not as important as your "right" to carry a gun? You might want to think carefully about that before you answer, because many people will see an affirmative reply as utterly perverse. Every now an then, a facebook meme actually nails it.

Every day I fail to exercise my right to jump of a tall building. I relinquish the right to own a gun for the same reason.

" How much cooperation should we have on abortion rights? How much cooperation should we on gay marriage rights? How much cooperation should we have on voting rights? " We could start with enough cooperation to stop killing people. You need to realise the killing isn't a right; it's a wrong. "How about this. In order to register to vote you have to supply your own weapon, ammunition, pass a safety test, and qualify on a shooting range. Your voter registration card would now be multi purpose. It would act as your gun registration, concealed carry permit, and guarantee that our militia is well regulated. Can't supply your own weapon, ammunition, pass your safety test, and range qualify, well then you can't vote. So how do you like compromise now? " That's not compromise though, is it. You are just being silly. "Those other countries have never been as dedicated to human rights as we have been. " Waterboarding. Texan 3 necked flasks Etc. Shucks it took you this long to legalise gay marriage.

"as good as it gets " in the very real sense that practically every civilised country in the world does better. A dead kid every day is "as good as it gets". This is "as good as it gets"

A statement like "You are already obsolete, have a nice day." suggests to me tha the author is trolling. After all, he must know that many or most of the people who post here are not involved in repetitive manual labour or whatever. So,until there's a robot that can do complicated creative work, he's plainly wrong; and he should know it.

If the relative humidity is higher than about 75% the one with salt water won't evaporate at all- it will pick up water from the air.

Why do people say that reversing an amendment is "extreme" ? It happened before.

A safety catch wouldn't have helped at Sandy Hook either- but it's still a good idea for some other circumstances. It's silly to condemn training because it doesn't help in every possible case. But this "People move from sane to insane quickly." is a good reason not to let anyone have guns.

Has that ever happened?

Or we can say there's still one Universe. We live in the local bit of it which we can call the observable Universe. Without needing to redefine any words. So, how did the observable universe come into being? Well we don't really know- but wee can go with the big bang as a reasonable guess- which seems to fit the data so far. How did the unobservable bits of the Universe come into being? We really don't know- perhaps we never will because we can't observe them. Did the unobservable bits of the universe give rise to the observable bit? We will presumably never know, but it's possible.

OK When it comes down to it, America still has a lot of guns because many people think that a dead disadvantaged poor kid every day is an acceptable price to pay for owning guns. All the rest of the debate is window dressing to that fact. It still seems odd to me.

We aren't.

What does the "uni" bit of "universe" mean?

Famously they are denied the right to peaceful enjoyment of their possessions- they are not allowed to buy three necked flasks. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/HS/htm/HS.481.htm I guess not many of them lose sleep over it,but it illustrates the point that the state is quite capable of removing rights for no good reason. Remember folks; if you outlaw three necked flasks then only outlaws will have them.

So Texans are not fully human then. I will let you explain that to them.

So, both the imposition and the removal of prohibition were absolutely right? Slavery was fundamentally right and so was its abolition. Or the constitution is a product of its time and can legitimately change. However the real doozy is this "Advocating that the Constitution be set aside because it could be amended is one of those irrational and threatening extremist stances that render the whole US situation a dysfunctional mess. It's a threat. Don't threaten people you need to gain trust from. " Nobody suggested setting aside the constitution did they? Because it can be amended is precisely the reason why there is no need to set it aside.

What are you replacing aluminium cookware etc with? Iron's toxic, chromium and nickel are carcinogenic so I hope you are not using stainless steel. Borates and silica are toxic so pyrex type glass is out (and most enamelled or ceramic materials too).
