Are thorium molten salt reactors part of this thread or are they a different animal?

The bible lets you sell your daughter into slavery, the bible lets you buy slaves of other cultures and keep them as chattel, even to the point of leaving them to your children. The list of things the bible allows that modern society does not is long and often horrific. If you followed biblical laws to the letter you would be imprisoned in any first world society. Tithes to support the poor? Yes those poor evangelicals that need multiple multi-million dollar houses, private jets, scores of expensive cars and luxuries their own congregations can only dream of not to mention vast mega churches that are so pricey that just one of them takes enough money to build could take care the homeless in our country. Those crazy christians that want to impose their religious views in schools to all children no to mention teach their favorite fairy tale along science as equal to science. These people are responsible to the gutting of public schools either directly or indirectly to support private schools where their religion can be taught as fact instead of what it really is.. iron age mythology...

I've made several over the years, mostly 30 to 40 years ago, biggest one was 3000 gal. I all I have are power hand tools.The one I want to build will be 96" long, 48" wide. and 24" tall, it will hold about 600 gallons. I'll probably have to build it and set it up on my carport, I'm thinking marine fish, sharks, rays, skates, a trio of queen angels Maybe mackerel, cobia, pigmy barracuda, moray eels, and maybe see if my old knack of propagating live corel is still with me. For my fish farm I plane to breed them not catch them but I can still catch and sell marine fish and I happen to know where the best ones are. It will give an excuse to start snorkeling, great way to get into shape... I am hesitate to say it but I plane to breed pygmy sturgeon and if I can't a few of them I'll go with shovelnose sturgeon...

Does anyone ever stop and think about how well most of us get along here and wonder why the real world is so different?

I am planning to build a plywood aquarium like this over the course of the summer.

I gave you a plus for that, very thought out and definitely true. But I have to point out that kissing Hank's ass via Hank's representative on Earth does apply to all religions that promise life after death. Such a promise is a powerful carrot and sick. The religions you talk about all promise something after death with no evidence but you are correct in that it represents abrahamic religions Torque him? Which wrench does that take?

This troll behavior is spreading to everything, much like politics and religion, it's just a means to wealth by bullshitting others...

I'm not sure we are communicating exactly, very nearly all religions promise some sort of afterlife for worshiping the correct way. This promise of an afterlife cannot be confirmed so it tantamount to kissing hank's ass... or Hank's representatives on Earth. Carrot and a stick, classic way to control people...

My point would be that all religions cannot possibly be real. To realistically talk about anything being of part of reality you first have to demonstrate what you're calling god. Natives on a remote island might worship s strangely shaped rock, to them it's real, they can show it to you. They can regale you stories of people who were cured by touching the stone. Of course not everyone is healed, only those who truly believe are healed at a rate comparable to people who do not worship the rock., So the real problem becomes how do we decide what god is. Let's say 7 billion people suddenly decide to worship the rock. Some say we should wash the bird excrement of every day, some say we should offer the best crops to this god, others think the rock likes the smell of burning meat so piles dead animals are burned around god . and yet the rock remains a rock and no studies, no tests, no amount of prayer, no amount of crying and wailing has any effect what so ever on the rock... This is religion in it's purest form...

I would simply ask which god... Many here keep saying the word God... which god? There are over a thousand or so worshiped by humans, some are objectively real others are only real in the mind of the people who believe in them. I think that before anyone calls the name of god as evidence for something they should define and show evidence of the god they define. Otherwise we are all just spitting into the wind...

Isn't smallpox thought to have jumped from cows to humans?

Why would killing an animal for food be any different than an animal killing a human for food? Or really just for fun or maybe out of fear...?

Dateline 11/05/2019 Our glorious leader "The Donald" after presiding over a much needed overhaul of our nations antiquated Constitution has been elected Supreme Leader for Life in a fair and impartial election garnering 150%of the vote!

Human beings can't survive without something dying, life it's self feeds on or depends on death. There is no way to escape this, no end run. All we can do is make sure animals aren't being killed for fun and dispatching them is as human as possible...

I Am Allergic to sodium laurel sulphate, it's in nearly everything soapy, I use Ivory soap (99/100%) pure! I used to wash my hair with it but I found a rinse that untangle this fuzz ball on my head and suppresses the itching as long as I don't wash my hair more than once a week or so... I worked with TiO2 for 25 years, I am doomed i guess...

Here is their web site" http://asteronx.com/

Again I ask what is your point? Do you not know how to use google? https://www.psi.edu/epo/faq/venus.html https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/04/on-venus-tectonics-without-the-plates/ Again where are you going with this?

The abilities of an Octopus is really only appreciated when you factor in that fact they live rather short lives. Even the very large ones only live less than 5 years and the ones that are tested for intelligence only live less than a year yet they seem to be extremely good and learning new things and even learning from watching other octopus. They display obvious emotions and have a wicked sense of humor. I used to keep octopus, they does some wild things and love odd objects, giving then a small stone makes them go nuts trying to figure out where in the "fortress" they want to put it. Titanium bolts are treated like we would treat gold and ping pong balls piss them off big time. I have one in an aquarium at the foot of my bed and one night while making love to my wife he opened the top of the aquarium are shoe me in the butt with a strong jet of water and they went into an amazing color display,I thing he was laughing. One octopus would leave his aquarium aquarium and crawl through three freshwater tanks to get to the crayfish tank I was storing his food in. I finally stopped keeping them because I could not deal with then dying so soon...

Actually it goes beyond just neurons they actually have a brain in each arm as well as their body. One thing I've often wondered about is that their esophagus actually runs through their brain and if this "bottle neck" has any influence on their brain.

Wait let me check my couch for change...

Yes but unsolved doesn't mean supernatural...

Yes they do have blood, their blood is based on copper instead of oron like ours and so octopus is a very pale blue... Google is your friend... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus Only a matter of time now..

I have to ask, what is your point here?
