Of course, ships sunk for different reasons -- meaning in war -- don't get that kind of pretreatment. Is there data on how those wartime wrecks affected the environment?
Since I plan to be buried at sea, I have been interested in benthic/abyssal geophysics and biota. I now live on the Atlantic Coast, which means that it is likely that I will end up being buried in the Atlantic Ocean. I have, therefore, been comparing the Atlantic with the Indo-Pacific. The...
So many shapes: oval, kidney shaped, rectangular, even hexagonal and quinqangular. This raises the question, is there an optimal shape toward which masks ought to converge, or is the diversity of shapes an indication that it doesn't really matter?
Patent protection shouldn't be too difficult if you properly document it. Not here. With the Patent Office. Of course, proper documentation includes a section in your patent application called "current art," in which you document what similar inventions already exist and how yours is unique...
That doesn't seem to be a PC thing to say anymore.
I was surprised that there were no comments on this. Think about other types of insurance. Car insurance, for instance. Your car insurance will not pay for oil changes, tire rotation, tune ups, or things of that nature; that basic maintenance...
One caveat: many observers on iNaturalist make a point of disputing every species-level ID if the possibility exists that it could be a "look-alike" species. Every Bermuda chub, for instance, will quickly get bumped bck to "Genus Kyphosa."
Was this perchance on eBay?
I wouldn't trust eBay sellers anymore. Recently, I was in Target looking at a specific item of furniture. Then I did a price comparison online. Sellers on eBay were listing the same type of furniture, used, for as much or more as the brand new one at Target. Now...
This reply got me trying to figure out what jellyfish these are. Unless this is a local colloquialism, I can't find any references to a jellyfish called that, although in the Med there is Pelagia noctiluca. You wouldn't want those all around you, though, because they sting.
Most swimming lessons focus on the competitive strokes -- the strokes that speed swimmers use. Those are not necessarily the best strokes for our purposes, just the fastest. I can't do the crawl the way a swim coach would teach it either, or the breast stroke. My preferred stroke is the side...
Some inventors get so excited over their (perceived) innovativeness that they lose sight of practicality. "New and Improved" are not necessarily always together, but the inventor thinks they are. I was once asked to put together a patent application for someone. That took a lot of...
Freedive wetsuits are different from scuba wetsuits. I asked a question about that on the forum somewhere, and the reply was, basically, freedive wetsuits work better near the surface and the wearer moving a lot, whereas scuba wetsuits work better at depth and the wearer not moving much.
I find...
