That doesn't sound right Van Der Waals forces are 1/100th or less strength of a carbon bond also you need dipole moment to generate them. Chemistry isn't my big thing, and quantum chemistry especially not but it doesn't seem likely you are going to get much in the way of dipole moment from carbon-carbon bonds.
While the authors note that this work could find a home in "sports equipment, ballistic armour, aeronautics, astronautics and even space elevators," we're still a long way from any of that. Ideally, rather than synthesizing the nanotubes in centimeter-long chunks, we'd like to have some sort of continual production process. Still, the work is important in that it hints that there is a world beyond micrometer-scale nanotube fragments.
Nice to have my instinct confirmed that there would of been much more noise over this if Ultralong meant kilometers or or at least 10s of meters.
I guess you never learned about significant digits in science. You see, you cut off the digits that are beyond the precision of your measurement rather than pretending to have more precision than you actually have.
I guess you never learned about sarcasm.
I;m not upset since my rebuttal is doing just fine. All it needed was for Seattle to be doing at least as well as Portland. It is your argument that hinged on Portland doing better.
It did ? This is the first I heard of it.
I do find you to be a braying ass since you tossed in gratuitous insults even while your argument was broken ( thus my conclusion that you've chosen to go with butthurt ). This isn't poker, bluffing isn't a useful strategy here.
Like a broken clock you've managed to get something right bluffing serves no point here. So I'll call yours.
Employment numbers are reported at a 90% confidence so what doe that say about the difference between 96.9% employment and 97.0%
Oh don't tell me, You didn't know they were reported on a confidence interval did you ?
Thus, it is presently possible to actually earn a smaller official minimum in Seattle than in Portland, provided you work for a small company with tips and/or good benefits.
Without looking I feel it's pretty safe to say people get tips in both cities, and there's a fair amount of unreported income with any cash businesses. For it to matter There should at least be some evidence that there is a tipping differential between the two cities. (not saying there isn't just there's no evidence of it)
Don't know where you are going with this but as far as I can see you have two cities both with very high unemployment, one higher than the other. Both raise their minimum wage, the one with higher unemployment does so at a slower rate and manages to make more of a recovery.
As to the regulatory environment unless there was something significant in the way of changes in the time period, it's speculation on related but different questions.
I f the difference isn't significant, why was it reported?
Yes why would anyone report their measurements numbers when other people are making other measurements of other things. If only people could look at data and see things like oh a 0.1% difference in employment rates was well within the realm of error.
Either way, your argument is dead meat and you still made an ass of yourself.
Tip here, when you say things like
And yet Seattle is still doing better than Portland.
and then follow up with it doesn't matter, it's your argument that's been killed and by you no less.
but I see you have selected the butthurt option instead.
I get the impression your upset ? Next time you post you might try contributing to the discussion.
A rational approach might be to reconsider your position
Was pretty sure the last round of changes primarily hit Dairy, Wine and Automobiles, with steel and aluminum being carrot and stick. I don't know what line of work you are in but the increased access to Canada for financial companies could be either big or small.
Sure wish that you guys would do something about your corrupt system, didn't see the party that brought free trade to you getting wiped out
The Democrats ? NAFTA came in 1994 Clinton was president and he had a Democratic controlled congress. Now they are reduced to having people scream at congress while covering themselves in menstrual blood and other crazy people to try and achieve their goals. https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/05...
No actually for all intents and purposes they are the same.
I haven't done much healing this week, but that's just because my only 'injury' was a small bruise on my elbow. There simply wasn't much healing for me to do.
I am sorry. I started posting on this site when almost all the people here were what could be comfortably described as well educated and highly intelligent. Thus it really takes me back when someone doesn't understand the concepts of measurement error and statistical equivalence.
I don't have the time or desire to help you much but you could try reading a book on the treatment of economic statistics or social statistics in general
You are trying to pretend that having more demand for labor means people will be less able to get the best wage they can be paid for the work they do ? What's more you are trying to say that when everyone has a job and the economy is running at beyond full employment, lowering the minimum wage means people just won't find other jobs ?
And you are accusing me of saying meaningless things to trick people ?
And yet Seattle is still doing better than Portland.
Ehhh ? 3.0% vs 3.1% Were you dropped on your head as a child ?
Portland only had a larger recovery because it was worse off.Your logic suggests that if you stub your toe, you should break your femur with a hammer so you can have a bigger recovery./
I see the answer to my question is yes. But lets play your game.
By your logic it's like saying someone attacked by a shark should heal as fast and well as someone bit by a mosquito.
Ahhh sorry I got it wrong, I didn't mischaracterize your argument Portland is in a dead heat, and it didn't get 40,000 jobs from Amazon moving in.
The continuous natural carbon sequestration is far too slow to have any meaningful effect, when trees die almost all of the CO2 is released into the atmosphere again.
I know this elsewhere in the thread but wouldn't it be nice if we had some use for managed forest products. If only there were something that we could do with trees. Someway to turn them into products that would be durable and beneficial.
Farmland would have to be used to plant trees, because there's nowhere else to plant them.
If only there were tracts of land that had trees but didn't anymore because they were harvested and clear cut, wouldnt that be something ? And wouldn't it be amazing if you could somehow combine tree farming with regular farming. We could call it agroforestry or something similar. After that wouldn't it be great if we had vast unpopulated regions where there were nothing but scrub grass at the moment ?
September 2009 (Seattle's peak) Seattle unemployment 8.7% Portland unemployment 10.4%
May 2018 Seattle unemployment 3.0% Portland unemployment 3.1%
Portland Minimum wage 11.25 Seattle Minimum wage 15.45 Looks like Portland with a lower minimum wage had a larger and faster recovery especially since portland had a peak unemployment rate of 11.4% in Jun of 09
Odds are if Seattle hadn't raised its minimum wage it would have hit full employment faster, and would have reached the point where lack of labor supply was driving up wages anyway especially with all the Amazon development
100 metric tons of CO2 can accumulate in one acre of forest over time. Each person generates approximately 2.3 tons of CO2 per year. The carbon footprints of 18 average Americans can be neutralized by one acre of hardwood trees.
So when a tree is mature you are saying you have to chop it down before it dies and decomposes. Then you should make use of the tree in some fashion that lasts a long time while you plant another tree in its place ?

I would of done that two, but I don't have CDO.

Clearly, you are pointedly ineducable. Bye Bye!

Thank you for an interesting reply
Or you fire the people on minimum wage, then you do what you can to squeeze more hours out of everyone else, to make up for the shortfall.
I f the difference isn't significant, why was it reported?

Let me get this straight:
You are trying to pretend that having more demand for labor means people will be less able to get the best wage they can be paid for the work they do ? What's more you are trying to say that when everyone has a job and the economy is running at beyond full employment, lowering the minimum wage means people just won't find other jobs ?
And you are accusing me of saying meaningless things to trick people ?
OKaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Troll on dude
Well if you don't have a job you aren't being paid anything. What's more you are probably consuming tax funded social services.
You could lower the minimum wage to $1 and get 100% employment on that basis
Well seeing as the real minimum wage is always $0 aka unemployment that doesn't actually seem to work the way you think it does.
Out of curiosity just how much of the workforce do you think works for minimum ?
And yet Seattle is still doing better than Portland.
Ehhh ? 3.0% vs 3.1%
Were you dropped on your head as a child ?

That's continuous and your articles are based on the idea we would have to use farmland to plant trees.
Seems you have alternate facts or maybe you just picked ones that supported your position
http://www.arborenvironmentala...
100 metric tons of CO2 can accumulate in one acre of forest over time.
Each person generates approximately 2.3 tons of CO2 per year.
The carbon footprints of 18 average Americans can be neutralized by one acre of hardwood trees.
https://www3.epa.gov/climatech...
Method for
Calculating Carbon Sequestration by Trees in
Urban and Suburban Settings
You know depending on time of year North America goes net carbon negative. It's a result of reforestation
So maybe if you want to make your case, facts might just help ?
Too slow ? I suppose if you are going to rely on just one Johnny Appleseed.
Are you trying to outdo the real George the Third ?
He is only said to have writen "Nothing Important Happened Today -July 4 1776"
The other 50% were probably angling for a better price
So when a tree is mature you are saying you have to chop it down before it dies and decomposes.
Then you should make use of the tree in some fashion that lasts a long time while you plant another tree in its place ?
Hmmmm If only there were ways to do that.
There's no research grants to be had for it. People can plant them on their own and there's no central point to control the supply from.
Sorry this whole plant a seed and let it suck CO2 out of the air idea just doesn't grease any palms (well unless it's a coconut plam)
