Without a market, there is no fair evaluation of value.

"* Air change. I found out that commercial spaces (concert halls or airplanes etc) change the entire air several times an hour. "

With good reason - spaces that don't are terribly uncomfortable within ten minutes.

10% of the radiation of something with a half life measured in hours in a lot od radiation.

10 tons of radioactive Na leak.

1 ton is left after 2 days.

Thats a lot!

I understand half life. My point moisture currents can spread water soluble things very far very quickly.

Think of it this way, what happens if there's a catastrophic sodium leak? The winds carry it far and the Na gets into everything because it will be diluted into the wind's moisture. Won't you breath the radioactive Na from the air's moisture?

Run away where? To the next river basin? Na will dissolve into any moisture and be carried away by any moisture.

His understanding appears worse than that. Heat capacity is important, but as a second order. Absolute temperatures is the real deal since it sets the Carnot efficiency.

Another way to look at it, if I were doing a back of the envelop calculation (the most important calculations), I wouldn't look up the Cp of Na. Id only look up its boiling T

High Cp, low Cp... that can be remedied to some extent by running the pump faster or slower.

and I hope that corporation's ability to lobby Congress to change laws against the public interest banned, and their lawyer's ability to practice law removed for ever.

For a beginner, its hard to improve on the "pilot penenship"

Its only flaw, in my opinion, is its lack of a clip

Call me a prude.

Call me old fashioned.

Call me small minded.

But watching a woman getting chocked while DPed in her anus while a half dozen men ejaculate on her is not the type of extra-curricular activity [1] I want my soon to be teenaged daughters' boyfriends interested in.

Im just... overprotective I guess.

[1] If anyone calls me out for knowing what's on the front page of all of these smut sites, guess what? We all know what's on those sites!

Radio in YYZ:

Sam Roberts, Celine Dione, Nickleback, Avril Levine. Sounds disturbed.

When I went to visit my parents for Easter I was shocked to hear Sam Roberts' Milky Way song. That was shocking.

That's why I'm not changing my very leaky and drafty windows - I don't want to live in a hermetically sealed Tupperware container.

Once I install an HRV system then I'll do the windows!

Its creative license.

He's illustrating how a description of the Antichrist from over 100 years ago so neatly describes modern man's deity.

You clearly understood the parallel, for you felt manipulated. His manipulation is not only intentional, it is admitted by the author!

Thats not true. Take Afghanistan, it's hardly lawless. If anything poor peoples are the societies most intolerant towards crime.
