Does anyone here have experience transporting and storing dry ice? If you keep it stored in an ordinary freezer how long will ice cube sized pieces last? The closest supplier I can find is a 2.5 hour drive away. Will it even last 2.5 hours if stored in a cooler or thermos bottle? Would larger

The first person credited with detecting heat from moonlight was Macedonio Melloni in 1846. Below is a brief description of the experiment from "Infrared metaphysics: the elusive ontology of radiation. Part 1" by Hasok Chang , Sabina Leonelli. (Btw, I have read elsewhere that the experiment was

Lately I have been watching many youtube videos investigating the question of whether or not moonlight has a cooling effect. The experiment is very simple. On a clear night with moonlight measure the temperature of two similar bodies, with one in the moonlight and the other shaded from the

I don't think tracking is necessary to maintain tax revenues for each state. The purchase of miles could be limited in the same way fuel tanks are finite in size. Also buying miles would be a local transaction which would ensure the funds go to the state in which the vehicle is mostly driven.

Or you could have the option to drive more than the number of miles you purchased. In that situation you would begin to owe money. Harry On Sat, Jan 8, 2022 at 2:24 PM H LV wrote: > No more unsafe than running out charge or gasoline in the "middle of > nowhere". > These day

We only need to phase out the use of *gasoline* and other fuels derived from oil. The ICE itself is not obsolete technology. harry On Mon, Jan 3, 2022 at 10:41 AM Jed Rothwell wrote: > This guy makes some valid points, but there is a lot of misinformation and > mistakes about history in what
