It's supposed to be part of the catalyst. Unless they are misusing the term the amounts used should be quite small. A small amount of platinum matters, cobalt not so much.
You're probably thinking that coal is just old forests that got buried. If we wait a few million years some of our current forests should turn into coal.
Unfortunately, it's not going to happen. The current forests will decay into carbon dioxide too quickly. Why didn't that happen millions of years ago? The decay agents of the time weren't as efficient as today's.
I watched a few minutes this week to see if he would do some apology for the shooting of the Congressman.
There was something about that in the full episode. It was only available on Youtube in the first few hours, though. It was in the unofficial uploads that HBO had removed.
While I don't see that consent has anything to do with it, I see there are vegans who worry about consent. Still, what's so special about humans? Can a bonobo consent? Why or why not?
The FDA even states "vegetarian and vegan diets are suitable for all stages of child development"
Vegetarian I can see, but vegan is just nuts. If a baby cannot handle milk you do the best you can, but trying to raise a baby without milk otherwise, while possible, is just stupid.
Assume you refer to vowels by "a,e,i,o,u and sometimes w and y (at be if of up cwm by)", here it's "a,o,u,Ã¥,e,i,y,Ã and Ã" but never w. w and v are the same here.
Of course, it only applies to English.
I was taught the "sometimes w and y" part in grammar school. I was surprised to discover decades later that w was no longer being taught, at least according to a couple of students I asked. The list is just to demonstrate that all of them can be the only vowels in words, but w is used in many diphthongs as well. (cwm is a very rare word)
They want to replace the need for home charging, which is half way there already in the USA, with going to filling stations every week or two. I suspect that this will cost more, both for the infrastructure and to the user. It might be better for the occasional long trip but it sounds much worse for day to day travel.
I don't want to go to a filling station. I want to do my everyday charging at home.
If it really were global warming, wouldn't we see a much more even growth in sea level everywhere, or at least one not quite so well delineated by the 49th parallel?
No. Even ignoring isostasy, if the Greenland ice sheet were to melt then sea level would go down near the cost of Greenland. This is from the gravitational attraction of the ice sheet on the ocean. The same is true near Antarctica.
If both melt there would be limited change in sea level near the poles but large increases near the equator.
The Guardian article you linked to says "6 meters" but it doesn't say when. It will probably take several centuries. 2050 is only mentioned as when there will be "an emerging flooding crisis", which, like today, would be mostly from storms. That's compatible with the 10 cm to 20 cm discussed here.
Luxury. Our computer knew Fortran but it would take an extra step to use it. We were required to use assembly. Actually, I think that was a Good Thing.
Or how about swarms of small farming robots scurrying around a cornfield picking pests off plants and digging up Gypsumweed.
I'd never heard of gypsumweed, but after a moment's thought it occurred to me that it might be a mishearing of jimsom weed. A quick web search revealed that it was, and that jimson weed itself was originally Jamestown weed. This is why botanists always use scientific names.

The costs of rare earths? How do they figure into this?
Zinc air batteries don't use rare earths but neither do lithium ion batteries. NiMH do but they are not being discussed.

So, astronomy is not science? I think you are wrong. A control makes things easier, but it is not essential.
The eccentricity changes do change the overall insolation, but it a very minor effect.
Should be there. :-) (Grammar nazi regards.)
He didn't apologize, he acknowledged the event. (If I remember right.)

Yes, but most of those posts were by Anonymous Cowards. I think that logged in users should probably be allowed to use it.

Should be phosphorus sodium chloride.
I think the idea is to just replace the electrolyte. The electrolyte gets charged while you're not there.

Us started it?
Yes, but according to preview that doesn't work! (as you can see)
I prefer putting two dots over the second o, but Slashdot won't display it. (The two dots symbol over the o is known as a dieresis.)

You use a light sail. It's slow but extremely efficient.
The "seed" that will grow into what we want could weigh less than a microgram.
Oh come on now, it's Sessions. If the government is doing anything illegal he'll be supporting it.
I agree we shouldn't neglect comedies, which is why my favorite science fiction movie was Galaxy Quest. Honorable mention goes to Real Genius.
