There's a reason the guy in the meme is dressed like a clown.

I think it's been styled to match the spectrographs in the background.

Still hard to read.

There are a few, but they're rare. I also have no idea if they're any good.

It might be more accurate to say the average person knows more about what we don't know about the ocean than what we don't know about the moon.

We have a decent idea about what can and may exist in and about Earth's oceans, but less about the moon; and most people assume it's just a dusty rock too.

I would love to see oil go the way of asbestos and just be a problem for the next 100 years, but unless a lot of people get really cool with nuclear power and plastic alternatives, we're going to be using a decent amount of oil products for a while. I would rather avoid a situation like Germany, where we build a dozen coal plants because a foreign nation decided to stop playing nice.

I fully agree that less oil in general is a good thing, and shifting from heavy oils to lighter oils is also a good thing. But if we're going to be extracting and using something anyway, I think processing it ourselves is an improvement as well, and it will somewhat help keep the money AB & SK spend on oil in Canada and reduce our dependence on long pipelines and foreign industry.

Reducing our dependence on oil in the first place would definitely be better, but if we only take the best steps we won't get anywhere.

Both of RBC's colours are up there, and neither of them are RBC!

Now might be the best time to build our own refineries.

I wish our high was our own supply; we sell crude to the US & China and buy petrol products back!

The timing might work out to really live up to the legacy of independence day.

We can do an administrative region, and pull a Puerto Rico on them.

And only 20% as wrong! I hope. :P

That would be a stupidly hight amount of charge.

For a very rough estimate, thunderstorms peak at about 6.7 nanocoulombs of charge per m³, or 4.2e10 fewer electrons per m³. Cumulonimbus clouds have roughly 2 grams of water per m³, or 6.7e22 atoms per m³. Thus, thunderstorms have 1 in 10e12 fewer electrons.

To fully ionize water, you would need something like a trillion times as much voltage as lightning, and the ability to insulate the sample from other sources of electrons like any nearby matter.

This might be feasible at very small scales, but the result would be just as dangerous. A bunch of protons that really want electrons nearby would pull lightning from anywhere they could, and would be unbelievably corrosive. Something like a pH of -23.7, although pH breaks down long before this point.

Such a substance completely devoid of electrons would also repel itself very strongly, so it would evaporate into gaseous protons basically instantly. "Normal" plasma is much more stable because the electrons are separated by temperature rather than by electric change. High electric charges are much more difficult to contain.

I'm not a physicist though, so I'm likely wrong on the details.

Modified boost too.

Also remember that carbon is lost as the metal is worked, so the strength can be increased simply by working the metal longer. This is how wrought iron is produced, although wrought iron ends up having a much lower carbon content in the process of removing slag.

That's a really salty fluid, or a strong acid/base. Plasma just has temperature driving the ionization, rather than chemistry.

Gender BEC would be a low energy gathering where all of a sudden everyone is on the same wavelength.

Gender Time Crystal would be someone who switches between two genders regularly.

By the same logic, we don't detect light, just the change in shape of certain proteins. The sky isn't blue, it's a subset of sunlight. We don't really touch things, we transmit forces with tiny magnets. Computers don't really do math, they just arrange states in certain ways.

This would also be nice for atomic distros, application space and system space could be separated in more cases.

That can change depending on your file manager, and many OSs do not present the file manager app anywhere but the app list by default, if they even have one.
