I know, depends on who is asked, lol

I missed that, evidently I need to relearn the periodic table, sorry

I'm not sure I understand, shouldn't sodium hydroxide should be in the result?

I've done the electrolysis of salt water, it was more or less full strength seawater, all I got was sodium hydroxide and chlorine, I'm not sure what I did wrong, it's been 45 years since I did that, my memories of the salt percentage might be off. I'll go with your assessment.

I have to ask... doesn't electrolysis in salt water result in sodium hydroxide and chlorine gas?

This is far too good to fact check!

Good to hear someone is doing something constructive about stream restoration! NANFA could be a source of info for you!

I would like to suggest that the oxygenation of Earth's atmosphere wasn't exactly a benign occurrence that life then learned to use. The emergence of free oxygen due to photosynthesis was a devastating mass extinction event! Life didn't just "learn" to use it, the vast majority of life died or was forced into special ecological niches where oxygen didn't or couldn't exist while new organisms evolved to tolerate and then actually use oxygen as a energy source. This mass extinction lead to all complex life on earth. Metabolism is key. Early life didn't need oxygen but eventually life found an ingenious way to utilize oxygen for metabolism through photosynthesis. I'm not trying to be pedantic but this is just not an accurate description of how oxygen was or is produced or even what oxygen was. Oxygen was a waste product, life didn't just not need oxygen, oxygen is a poison to anaerobic life! Oxygen caused a mass extinction event! Also, this is simply not what photosynthesis is, how it works, or how the use of it evolved "but eventually life found an ingenious way to utilize oxygen for metabolism through photosynthesis." this is just backwards and twisted and suggests oxygen was just a benign substance that appeared not to mention that metabolism doesn't always need or even use free oxygen! Also photosynthesis does not utilise oxygen it produces oxygen as a waste product, oxygen metabolism utilizes the oxygen photosynthesis produces.

Good to meet you, any chance you are member of NANFA?

I am behind the times, thanks for posting this!

I'm surprised clown fish haven't showed up or invasive corals, spreading animals beyond their native range is one thing humans have been doing since well before records were being kept. Once we domesticated animals and started bringing them with us while we conquered the globe... it's what we do!

Me too, lol

Have you considered that holding your breath is part of the mammalian diving response?

That is an interesting observation, I for one, hate getting in cold water! I have noticed it's better to just jump in than trying to slowly acclimate to the water.

Wright Patterson Air Force base was closed down for 4 hours due to drone activity!

It would appear that Trump is getting involved... it's gonna be alright now, only he can solve it and will solve it in a way never before seen!

I am sorry @TheVat, I missed your remark.

In this video he suggests that the drones might be part of "Red Cell" a group of our own military that tries to identify flaws in the US defense system. He cites specifics about drone incursions around other military bases that have happened over the last few years. He goes on the explain why the US isn't shooting them down even if they aren't ours and goes on the suggest how such drones could be dangerous to our military and how drones can be used to shut down airbases and destroy very expensive aircraft on the ground. He also describes some of the efforts of anti drone warfare.

If anyone is interested this guy seems to have the most informed slant one this problem. It would appear this has been going on for some time and it may very well be the US military challenging it's self!

It needs to be said... I know it's not 1938... but it is New Jersey!

From what I've seen I'd have to agree but the only fly in the ointment is that they have been seen all over the world, assuming that is not hype, it's an oddly coincidental thing that US bases in the UK are experiencing this as well. Drones, no matter what the source, have been seen over these bases, and US bases as well has been admitted by government officials. To me this smacks of a classic false flag scenario or a group like Anonymous screwing with the air force. Sadly the only sources of information we have is the very news sources that are contributing to the hype! The situation is blowing up, its all over the news, the gov is silent, reporting they don't know what is going on but they are sure its not a problem... weird response IMHO. I have to agree i've seen nothing that says its more than drones and misidentified aircraft but that gov needs to say something other than we don't know what is going on but we are sure it's not a danger to anyone. That is nonsensical IMHO. I was kinda hoping some of our members are located in the area and can add something to this that isn't coming through on the news. I say its a concentrated effort by some group to cause chaos for nefarious purposes. The news hype around this is just adding to the confusion... the real question is why.
