  1. You missed the bit where it took until this week to come up with any sort of controls/ checks at the border. About as US centric as the US. But, by thunder, you have to work at it.
  2. "I am not sure what I am asking"
  3. Multiplication is often related to the concept of area. But, in general, it's quite abstract.
  4. I'm sure we all hope that Mr Trump is taking enough of his medication to have a good outcome.
  5. By what? Also, many or most rooms are only about 10- 15 feet across. Again, that's a matter of wealth, not physics. Yep. You will see people wearing it in clinical situations.
  6. You don't need to go to roswell, just a hardware store. Buy a hammer. Lift it up then drop it on a rock. Calculate the power input to the hammer, and the power output delivered to the rock. If you draw a picture it will be more clear what you are wrong about.
  7. If people sneeze at 100 miles per hour then, to make sure that the particles go up not across, you need an upward velocity near 100 MPH You need that all across the room- because you can't be sure where someone will be standing. Such rooms exist...
  8. A commercial manufacturer will grind the mirror until it is "good enough". An amateur will grind it until it is "as good as possible". That's an advantage.
  9. If you buy commercial hydrochloric acid- unless you specify a different concentration- you will get concentrated hydrochloric acid. Other solutions are made by dilution of the acid. The name is not a description of the manufacturing process.
  10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repunit
  11. The boy stood on the burning deck whence all but he had fled Twit. Spike Milligan.
  12. I wonder if this discussion has lost focus on the fact that , for much of the world, "air conditioning" means opening the door.
  13. But, it seems, she wanted power more than she wanted to do what was best for the country. So, she went along with Brexit. It's not as if she was a great lover of either justice or the european legal system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Othman_(Abu_Qatada)_v_United_Kingdom
  14. War as a side track from battle... A comparison between Mrs May's xenophobia which caused problems when she was in office and her denouncement of it now. That principle caused major problems when she was in office.
  15. In exactly which battles is nationalism an ally? (note, it's "the enemy"'s nationalism that starts the unnecessary battle in the first place.)
  16. Yes and no. As soon as anyone walks on it the surface will get scuffed and look bad,
  17. Outstanding hypocrisy from Mrs May to say "Nationalism is no ally in this battle without borders" having been the architect of stirring up racism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Office_hostile_environment_policy
  18. As far as I can tell, it's from some person on Quora https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-examples-of-natural-substances described as "Mohammad Hasnain, studied at Colleges and Universities" I don't see that as particularly authoritative. To be blunt, if one of the resident experts here says something categorical like "It isn't natural", you should probably check damned hard before trying to rebut it.
  19. It isn't natural. It isn't organic.
  20. That's not a good start, but... whatever. If you ant to look like a smurf, that's your problem. You have been warned. The kit you have is nice enough, you might also need stuff like a soldering iron. And a word of warning HP made good kit, but it's rumoured that they dropped the HP name because everyone said it stood for "Higher Prices". Probably less of an issue buying second hand. We live in a weird world. It's possible that getting a newer computer will let you use new er equipment which is paradoxically cheaper- think abouyt teh stuff made for arduino etc.
  21. Am I the only one who thought of this?
  22. And yet there are solutions, every bit as valid, that do have black dots. I may be wrong, but I doubt it's from a real IQ test. They are usually careful to ensure that there aren't too many "right" answers.
  23. Did you see all the other reasoning that disagrees with you?
  24. I would put a lot more effort than I should into making the mat slightly bigger each time...
