This is partisan hackery of the worst kind!

Clearly we are in orbit of a Kerr black hole, whose axial rotation is causing the light to shift according to frame dragging!

Leave it to the blues to assume everyone is moving towards them!!!

Not in comparison to… normal things like people and manufacturing.

And oil is oil, it’s self-powering. Many/most are powered off of the propane out-gassing to dedicated turbines.

Yeah, but Alaska uses dramatically less energy than… like, everywhere. Given that there are no people and the only industries are either oil or resources.

I’m not disagreeing, but if the energy is surplus, might as well make hydrogen, at least we don’t end up with pollution.

I mean, yeah, but also, that’s not really efficient or effective for burning.

We can make hydrogen everywhere, we can’t ‘make oil’.

Because calculators used to use paper, and clear entry basically invalidated the line.

This kept the same interface for the really old paper calculator users.

All words are made up.

So, if you’re an atlatl expert I see it.

But this is why we transitioned to crossbows from longbows, takes a lifetime of training to make a good longbowman.

Then again, not like they had anything better to do.

The loss of accuracy and more cumbersome handling seems to outweigh the increase in power?

Seems like I would just want to carry 2 spears, throw one after the other?

Fuck me that got dark quick. :(

Where were you 2 nights ago?

We’re being played for fools…

Yes, octomom has a baby.

Yeah, I didn’t do the carbonic acid, then there’s the increased bicarb buffering around the pleura, couple other facts.

Upon entrance into red blood cells, carbon dioxide is quickly converted to carbonic acid by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic acid immediately dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. As previously stated, an increase in hydrogen ions stabilize the hemoglobin in the T-state and induces oxygen unloading which leads to shifting of the dissociation curve to the right.[6]

Thus the acidity causes o2 release. Temperature (lungs tend to be very cold in the body) is important too.

Oxygen unloading is favored at higher temperatures which will cause a rightward shift. On the other hand, lower temperatures will cause a leftward shift in the dissociation curve. A notable example of this is exercise, where the temperature of muscle increases secondary to its utilization, thus shifting the curve to the right and allowing oxygen to be more easily unloaded from hemoglobin and deliver to tissues in need.

It’s amazing how subtly it works to gently increase efficiency where we need it. Otherwise it’s just a very weak oxygen bond (which is hard enough given oxygen is extremely non-polar and all you have are the valence pairs. edit: This lead me to wonder how the fuck it even bonded effectively

Wow, I’m impressed, they’re using spin-coupling which is a pretty dicey effect.

Thus, we can conclude that the facile binding of O2 to hemo- and myoglobin arises primarily as an effect of the topology of the binding curves for the four relevant spin states. This topology, with nearly degenerat>e and parallel curves, is caused by the near degeneracy (within 10 kJ/mol) of the triplet and quintet states of deoxyheme. Therefore, the design by nature of iron porphines having close-lying spin states of a particular symmetry and energy is a means to tune binding of small ligands and overcome the activation barriers of these spin-forbidden reactions, despite the moderate SOC of first-row transition metals. The resulting barrier height makes up most of the rate enhancement due to the exponential dependence on the rate, whereas one or two orders of magnitude may come from the increase in the transmission coefficient.

That’s some fucking crazy ass engineering by nature, A weak, highly reversible bond with the molecule keyed to both pH and thermal triggers. That was a fun rabbit hole.

1. It’s sensitive to pH, so it absorbs oxygen more readily in the lungs, and releases it slightly more near tissues that need it, as they have co2 which slightly acidifies the blood in solution (h2co3).

2. It’s effective and well tuned for our biology, it doesn’t bond strongly, and is well suited for the air-blood interface, unlike others that often favor water-blood or water-the fluid worms use instead.

You drive a hard bargain, sir.

Robin Williams had a degenerative nerve disease, bringing him back as he was would be cruel.

Bringing him back healed, or young and healed? I’d let you hunt some species to extinction for that.

Knew beta-carotene (because that color is unique), rest were interesting.

They’re also accidental pollinators so they do help more than people think.

I hear that, I did some things accidentally once, but the stubborn judge insisted I go on the register anyway!
