When I was at school (tr:US high school) we had a 2 litre coke bottle three quarters full of the stuff. Just sitting there in our study room...
We had bought the iodine at one chemists shop, then gone to another to get the ammonia (buying both in the same shop seemed like a bad idea to us) and then made it by the litre. I dread to think what it would have done if it had dried out.
You also have to mix the methane with the right amount of oxygen (so you'll end up with much more than 1cu.ft gas to make an explosive mixture). The other consideration is delta-t: how quickly does the stick of dynamite's reaction complete, compared to the equivalent energy of methane/oxygen mix?
Probably athlete's foot. There's cream for that.
I suspect processed foods are not harmful. A raw food diet is a lot likely to be less optimal (basically, cooking - which is processing food - is what made us human: processing our food allowed us to break it down a bit meaning a simpler, more efficient digestive process, allowing us to have larger brains).
If you cook from fresh ingredients, guess what you're still eating processed food. Just because the food processing happened in your home, doesn't mean it's not processed food. It doesn't matter where the processing occurred - in your home, in a factory, or wherever, so long as the food doesn't contain excessive quantities of crap. I think the real answer is avoid crap foods. Foods with large quantities of refined sugar for example. I think the main things of home cooking (processed foods processed in your home) is that you know what went into the process so it's easier to avoid the crap simply by not adding it to the recipe.
I'm 43 and people who meet me think I'm in my 20s (well, apart from the receeding hairline but I've had that since a teenager). I drink, I eat processed foods all the time, I have plenty of milk, not too much sugar, and love gluten. I exercise a bit (mostly ride my bike). I drink tea (hot with milk, no sugar) by the gallon. I eat ice cream and chocolate probably too much. I'm 5'11" and weigh 152lbs.
Unless you've got a specific condition which gluten aggravates (celiacs etc.), gluten free diets are a fad diet that just take some of the joy out of food. It's no more healthier than a tasty gluten laden diet.
No, the users aren't the customers, the advertisers are the customers (and the few who buy reddit gold I suppose).
Except that Usenet is/was superior. It's distributed so no one single company has a hold over it, and you're not forced to use some crappy web interface - you can use whatever user interface (news reader) that you like.
Ingress does have moderation controls. Every single submitted portal has to be approved by Niantic. It often takes 9-12 months before new portals are approved/denied. Basically, Niantic staff approved these portals.
If you do the leading edges and windscreen with furniture polish (people swear by Lemon Pledge, I use Mr Sheen because Pledge doesn't seem to be sold locally) the bug guts wipe off very easily (and I suspect many just don't stick but I've not done a scientific test of this).
Take an awful lot of Pledge to do an airliner leading edge, though.
I use Mr. Sheen on our aircraft. Lemon Pledge isn't available here. Mr. Sheen seems to do the job just fine.
The biggest clue is that the large European manufacturer of airliners actually calls it an Airbus.
But if you don't need the allowance, Ryanair is still the best price by a country mile.
I keep thinking of converting a ski jacket so I can pack 2 weeks clothing in the lining (they never check the size of coats!) and go on a fortnight's vacation hand luggage only...
The TV is across the other side of the room, though. It doesn't matter that the TV screen has a lower dot pitch than the phone, I don't use the TV 18 inches from my face. All that matters is can I see jaggies or individual pixels on the TV from across the room? The answer is no. Anything more than 1080p on a TV screen is rapidly going into diminishing returns.
Now a computer monitor on the other hand is a different story altogether. So is VR due to the apparent size of the screen in a VR headset.
Some reasons:
More passive safety features
Easier to handle fuel
No weapons proliferation issues.
