When I was a kid I used to make scratch cakes. I wasn't aware you need to add baking powder and/or baking soda. The things came out like bricks.

@Mcflewster Of course, a variety of teaching methods works. There's a pyramid somewhere (I'll google it later) that points out that hands-on experiential education is the best (and rarest)...Rote memory the most common (and least effective).
I was "set off" by the earlier comment; "tests and assessments are not useful if they rely mostly on the recall of facts." which I respectfully, IMO, disagree.

They are around three-quarters of an inch in length and are usually yellow and brown in color. They often construct their webs in wooden human structures, hence their common name. Wikipedia

2. Hydrogen won't ever be cheap to make. Profiteers applaud.
3. Hydrogen uses the same basic storage and delivery system as gasoline; that's another reason why the Fossil fuel obsessed love it.
4. Hydrogen "burning" is exothermic. It's heat producing. It still requires "internal combustion" oomplete with valves, spark plugs, cylinders, cooling systems.
It's exhaust may be the only good thing about using it.

Robecology replies on Feb 15, 2019:
That's a naive thought. The "gundametalists" are fundamentally bullies. They won't go after folks with guns; they like to gun down folks having fun (like LasVegas, Orlando) or going to school. The number of gun accidents and accidental deaths is absurd and getting worse.
There's some evolutionary work happening (the ignorant self-eliminating themselves) but in reality they're taking the wise, the studious, and the defenseless with them. This is the real national emergency.

That's a naive thought. The "gundametalists" are fundamentally bullies. They won't go after folks with guns; they like to gun down folks having fun (like LasVegas, Orlando) or going to school. The number of gun accidents and accidental deaths is absurd and getting worse.
There's some evolutionary work happening (the ignorant self-eliminating themselves) but in reality they're taking the wise, the studious, and the defenseless with them. This is the real national emergency.

@mcgeo52 Bingo. I often copy that comment by Goldwater. If you go down a few more paragraphs, he makes this prophetic comment;
In a May 1973 interview with Time magazine's Hays Gorey, Goldwater said, "If it can be proved that he lied, resignation would have to be considered. It would be quick. Everything would be over, ended. It wouldn't drag out like impeachment."
It wasn't until 17 months later that Nixon resigned; and then Ford "pardoned" him so he could have his Library and his pension. I'm betting Pence will do the same thing.

And my strategy as a relatively conservative scientist is to avoid the scare tactics.
GW is real. Climate shift is real. There is a very good chance of runaway global warming that won't be fixed until major die-offs. That's real. But we like to state this subtlety so as not to get the Trumpsters "knickers in a twist".

@Cutiebeauty Considering when it was produced (1950's) and the social acceptance of any woman in any movie being scantily dressed or moving in any way perceived as "sexual"...it really was "avant guard"

@MoonTiger Nice that you recognize the Dolphin/Cetacean's advanced lifestyle. I think they're so advanced that they bypassed technology. No schools. No money. No buildings. The kids play all day. The parents "make love" all day (no...not the same as f-ing)....good observation!

Life is a journey, not a destination. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Diogenes comments on Feb 10, 2019:
'Existing' is a journey- we have no idea what Nature has provided for us after death- if anything! "Living" is obviously a temporary stage.
Robecology replies on Feb 10, 2019:
Actually we have a good idea. It's called returning to the basics. Recycling. Dust to dust. Avoid the imaginative ramblings of the #Religulous....for your own sanity.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 9, 2019:
Cannabis became a demon when Nixon declared his war on drugs. Back in the 30's there was a song called "Watch Out for The Refer Man." The nonsense took a while to go full circle but it always amazed me that it could become illegal to use a product that grew wild in a field somewhere.

What natural right of authority does anyone have to tell someone else what to do, own, use... etc.?
Robecology comments on Feb 6, 2019:
Face the truth.
Dozens are being injured from guns every day in America. 20+ die, at least half of those 20 from gun suicides. It's THE major smear on the goodness of America...
...and Trump never even mentioned it in the SOTU.
If we don't create an "authority" to regulate guns ...
Robecology replies on Feb 8, 2019:
@dare2dream Agree; what does that even mean a "well regulated militia"..does that imply that anyone who wants to justify owning guns must be active in a "well regulated militia"? The whole 2nd amendment needs to be re-written.

The birth rate world wide is declining. See: youtube - *Why the world population won't exceed 11 billion.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LyzBoHo5EI
Robecology replies on Feb 8, 2019:
The Rate of Growth is declining; but the population is still growing; just not as fast as it used to be;
Today 384,701 people will be born and 156,936 people will die, resulting in a net gain of 227,765 humans (give or take a few thousand). This year 140 million babies will be born and 57 million people will die.
That also means 158 more births than deaths, per minute.
The rate of growth is still dangerously fast; but it was worse a few years ago.

freeofgod comments on Feb 8, 2019:
