Reply to comment by Diligent_Nature in 30 minutes of car preheating in sub-zero conditions produces as much particulate emissions as driving 97km in a gasoline car, or 20km in a diesel car “These findings do not suggest to stop preheating cars; instead, we could reduce the emissions by using similar methods that are in place for engine” by giuliomagnifico

I was refering to the concept of "subzero", which is used a lot in metric countries, but I can't imagine it being that useful in you operate in F.

Wasn't refering to the relevance of 0°C to vehicles.

Yes but the title is most likely refering to metric because they used km. Also 0°F is not a very important specific temperature, while 0°C is a very important temperature.

Reply to comment by Darkelement in A recently released set of topography maps provides new evidence for an ancient northern ocean on Mars. The maps offer the strongest case yet that the planet once experienced sea-level rise consistent with an extended warm and wet climate, not the harsh, frozen landscape that exists today. by Wagamaga

In Earth's case I believe one hypothesis is that the impact of two planets created Earth and its moon. The incredible heat of our core may simply be left over from this collision.

Reply to comment by Foomaster512 in Geomagnetic fields reveal that the army of Hazael, King of Aram-Damascus, was responsible for the destruction of several cities and that sites in Southern Judah were destroyed by the Edomites, who took advantage of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Judah by the Babylonians. by MyLifeisAsaJoker

I think at this point, this idea of dating things by magnetic field recordings in burnt things may still be in need of more believers. Using it to confirm biblical events doesn't help the technology to gain following and support IMO. Don't get me wrong, it could be perfectly reasonable and accurate, but it's the perfect storm of weirdness when you're first hearing of a new technique in this context.

Hell yeah

Maybe goldfish have the cure for dementia hidden away, deep in their shallow little brains.

You worried about your tax dollars?

Exploring how smart fish can be, or whether or not they experience pain & suffering, might just be a fantastic use of tax dollars - it could end up reducing demand for seafood, which is in decline and threatened by global warming.
