About a hundred times as common as this. http://scholarsmine.mst.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2240&context=chem_facwork

Why? I can't think of any good reason for this. And vinegar doesn't "cause severe burns like acid" so...

invar fused quartz I guess there are others too. In general, it's easier to thermostat the room.

No. THF is a very weak base and resorcinol is a fairly weak acid. The resorcinol would dissolve, but there will be no reaction.

No, the point raised consistently throughout that thread is that, while barking mad Republicans are ten a a penny, it seems relatively difficult to find their Democrat counterpart. You might remember this exchange of posts in that thread "Are you saying that this guy is not the best the republicans can come up with for this election?" "Well, the Dems have Biden, don't they?" "Ok, what has Biden said that was completely batshit crazy?" "Nothing as far as I know. I" I asked, repeatedly, in that thread for any evidence of any mainstream Lefty saying anything as profoundly dumb as the bloke who believes in dragons. That was in 2012. I am still waiting. So, I have a hypothesis. Only the political Right vote for people who are obviously clueless.

I'm fifty-something man and , if I turn up in A&E with chest pains I expect to jump the queue in a way that my hypothetical twin sister wouldn't. I'm not saying that's good or right; I'm saying it's what happens.

Oh, and while I remember, this... Not sure where that picture's from. Here's the link to the video which opened the thread.

Did anyone actually read the judgement- or even the newspaper highlights of it? ""It is a core component of her belief that she will refer to a person by the sex she considered appropriate even if it violates their dignity and/or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment," he continued." Now that's not a decent way to behave. And Rowling was factually wrong to describe is as she did. Forstater was effectively sacked for bullying and harassment.

Meanwhile, back at the topic...

A typo, but you need to fix it.

At 400 bar, methane is still acting more or less like a gas. at roughly 40,000 bar, it won't be. There simply isn't enough space for the molecules.

It hardly matters. There isn't enough room in the tank for the methane- that's why the pressure gets so high. If you put solvent in the tank there is less room for the methane.

I doubt anyone ever tried. And, since viruses come in a variety of sizes, it's clear that you are talking nonsense. In fairness, the OP's question is interesting 186282 miles, 698 yards, 2 feet, and 5+ 21/127 inches per second is a weird number.

I congratulate you on your longevity. Have you seen many definitions of political Left vs Right in all those years?

So, if I have two computers running at the same time and they both use this method, they will always generate the same "random" number. That seems the very antithesis of randomness.

Define "Right" and "Left" and also "Liberal" and "Conservative". In this context the original use of Liberal meant those who wanted liberal government spending. That may or may not have any correlation with a view on personal liberty on matters such as marriage, suffrage etc.

Setting gun control aside for a minute... One important distinction seldom seems to get an airing. If you are not personally able to afford all your own healthcare, education, transport and other needs then it makes sense to vote for a government that will help with those things. Most people are in that position- they make use of state schools rather than fee-paying ones and so on. So most people should vote for a government that provides this sort of assistance. The only practical mechanism to do that is by taxing people and, there's no point in taxing people with little or no money- so a progressive tax system of some sort is needed. So, most people should vote for a government that taxes the wealthier members of society in order to help those who are less well off. And so most people should vote for a more or less Left wing government. And, in a democracy, the majority view- a Left leaning government should always be elected. The Right wing parties know this. And yet they seek power. And, I conclude from this that one trait of Right wing politicians (though not necessarily of Right wing voters) is dishonesty. They know they can only get in to power by misleading people into voting against their own personal best interests. OK, so far, that's just conjecture. Here is some evidence https://metro.co.uk/2019/12/10/investigation-finds-88-tory-ads-misleading-compared-0-labour-11651802/ It's not exactly a new observation.

Perhaps he should stick to that role.

It's usually a small effect, but some of the problem is caused by neutron activation .

No

We don't know. The data we have only goes to 10 KBar, Extrapolating from that it looks like you need more than 20 KBar, but we don't know how much more.

STP seems an odd thing to presume when the conditions are stated to start at 700 bar and go up. Not if it is properly designed, the bursting disk will fail and vent the tank safely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupture_disc However if for some reason that doesn't work (or is not fitted) then yes, the tank will burst- probably violently. The release of the methane will lead to it mixing with air. Sooner or later it will be diluted down to a flammable mixture. It is then a matter of luck if you get a second explosion.

Water is cheap, non toxic, and non flammable. Good luck convincing people to change,

If it was 20 years since he flip flopped, you would have a point. But it isn't,so... Tautologically true- since he lost. But unhelpful. Why didn't they have any trust in Corbyn? He is the most successful leader of the opposition in history. (Having just successfully opposed more government votes than any other). He was re-elected in his own constituency- where they presumably know what he's like. Do you think it might be anything to do with this sort of thing? https://www.itv.com/news/2019-12-06/88-of-conservative-ads-on-facebook-misleading/ Yes, and somebody sold them the lie that Boris was going to stop the uncertainty. In fact he was the one guaranteed to continue it. Brexit will not be over at the end of January- that's just the lie he and his cronies told. At the 2016 referendum roughly two thirds of Labour party voters voted to remain. The Leave side cheated in that referendum. They should have re-run it. If it had been legally binding, there would have been a rerun. But, because the outcome was "advisory" they didn't have teh authority to force a repeat- and police it better to stop Leave cheating this time. OK, that depends on the weasel words "some people". It's hard to see how we will avoid the destruction of the NHS for a start. That's presumably worse than most people expected You do know which one it was that literally hid in the fridge to avoid reporters, don't you? And which one didn't show up at his own hustings...? And which one didn't actually appear on the party leaders' debate on climate ? And which one refused to be interviewed?

Are you sure? Sorry, couldn't resist it. (It's pantomime season) More seriously, it's an interesting topic, and it feeds into other areas (which I accept are probably off-topic) Is the belief that the Earth is flat essentially comparable with the idea that some bunch of billionaires have your best interests at heart and you should vote for them? One difference is that it doesn't matter to me if you think the Earth's flat (unless you are my pilot) but your vote makes a difference to my life. It would, for a number of reasons be very useful to understand this issue. I suspect that the Conservative party did- and that's how the lying guy who hid in the fridge from reporters is now PM.
