  1. Yet another AC agw/climate change denier spouting from behind a cloak of anonymity. grow some courage and stop being aonymous then people may be able to believe anything you write or link to.

  2. Sounds like an interesting material to use, would the wave actionand wind driven sea spray abrade it however?

    It only burns if there's no liquid at the point of contact, and what burns is the wick in this situation. As the pg/vg mix is a liquid it has very good thermoconductive qualities. Unless you're running a headbanging mod that raises temperatures to stupid levels the coil should not burn the pg/vg mixture. You would be immediately able to tell from the smell/flavour, just like commercial smoke machines.

    The ingredient is there because many people are using eCigs as a way to get off cigarettes.

    e-Cigs are safer than cigarettes, albeit not "safe" (to expand on that, because I don't want anyone left with the impression they're safe: Flavored eCigs are almost certainly carcinogenic.

    Cite some sources?

    They're not pure water, there's carbon based flavoring added, which when burnt creates carcinogenic compounds.

    Vaping doesn't burn anything

    Are they as bad as cigarettes? No! Obviously not! Cigarettes have more carbon-based material to burn, and nicotine weakens the body's natural defenses against cancer. But they're not "safe" either. What about unflavored eCigs? Well, if they contain nicotine then they're still weakening your body's defenses against cancer,

    Cite sources on this too? explain how nicotine on it's own is any worse than caffeine, for instance?

    so you're more likely to get cancer than if you didn't smoke or vape at all, just not from the eCig itself.)

    Given the choice between kicking the habit, which is hard, or taking something that's much, much, less likely to give you cancer than the regular way to smoke, it's rather obvious why there's a market for eCigs with nicotine in them.

  5. This. The only parallel I can think of from my personal experience is playing Eve online (I know, a keyboard warrior playing an internet spaceship game is not really comparable to actually risking lives in wartime etc) . Heading out on patrol where you may well be in combat with unneccesary valuables in cargo in any kind of vessel (warship OR cargo/supply ship) is quite frankly an insane practice. There's some cliche about never risking anything in battle that you can't afford to lose.

    There is an imminent threat (which appears to have been today reiterated that they are expecting this to start tomorrow) from more rain flooding the area of the caves they are in ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/wor... paragraph 8) he was delivering air tanks TO the area they are trapped in ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/wor... paragraph) , because the air in the cave complex section they are trapped in is running short of oxygen so this is something which they may have to increase the rate of ( same article, paragraph 6). In short, things are not looking exactly rosy. I stand by saying they're in imminent danger.

    Do you have an issue with saving lives? Have these people transgressed in your eyes enough to earn death? The fact that these are children means nothing to you? If someone has anything that can help, you're with the AC thinking that because it's Musk (for all his many-many faults) that screw him and if he happens to be able to assist they should say no 'because he's Elon Musk' then really? Think before spamming reaction one liners that you think earn you imaginary internet points maybe.

    Have you actually read the reports of incoming heavy rain, and monsoons? And the fact that we do not know if they can keep the floodwaters in the cave complex low enough to keep them alive? Do we know if their air supply is going to hold? A diver died returning from resupplying them a few hours ago. Resupplying them for months could well be at the cost of a loss of lives of the people trained well enough and with enough experience to get to/from them in these situations. How many lives of divers do you think it'll take to keep them resupplied? This isnt Scuba diving off the reefs, there's only a finite number of people available, if most of them lose their lives who is going to go in instead? This is not a done deal in terms of saving them by any stretch of the imagination, heavy rain is apparently coming tomorrow. How many hours before this happens does it become urgent?

    Rather than get on your high horse mister AC, try this on for size: If any product that Musk's companies have made can help to either save those children's lives, or get them out quicker and more safely then he should get them sent over. Playing your favourite game of Musk Hating (tm) is not for this situation. They're children. Their lives are in urgent danger. Take yourself outside and have a stern word with yourself

  19. one rather significant flaw on Science Journals Caught Publishing Fake Research For Cash (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Using the same dataset if it was published with the article would lead to manipulation of that dataset to meet the already decided upon conclusion. Taking the idea/theory and using an independent dataset is the only way to stop this.
    We've seen the results of this before from just about every lobby group with something they are trying to spin into something more positive , for ex Tobacco lobby, NRA, AGW, the list goes on. Marketting droids meet persons with personal agenda. Having no peer reviewed science publishers would be markedly worse. If you had said 'paid peer review publishers' then I would agree.
    It's interesting how you turned my question of over your independence into an 'allegation'. You see that little round punctuation mark at the end of my sentence I guess, that denotes a question.
