Comment Longevity and specificity? (Score 1) 9

The fact that this approach is catalytic rather than requiring a binding agent seems positive in terms of longevity and not being directly depleted by repeat exposure; but I'd be curious how durable the material is under real-world conditions(clothing that gets hard wear tends to get hard washes) and also how specific it is. 'Organophosphate' means something moderately specific in the context of chemical warfare; but a lot of fairly prosaic compounds are, technically, 'organophosphates'(like DNA and RNA when held together by phosphodiester bonds); and this would be considerably less helpful in practice if it is busy chewing up the genomes of random soil bacteria; and markedly less helpful in practice if there's a "do not perturb the nanites in your clothing if you want them to not migrate into your cells and start mitigating the harmful effects of your DNA" user notice on the treated article.

He had a right to donate money anywhere he wanted and people had a right to feel any way they wanted about it and act accordingly. No one interfered with his rights. They come with responsibilities. One of those is responsibility for your actions.

Mozilla and Firefox were a joke long before he left so that's clearly not the reason.

You support "palestine"

Wrong. I oppose genocide and there's no need for quotation marks there since it clearly is one.

you're all in on Iran

I'm all in on the problems with Iran being literally caused by our doing a coup there, and creating more martyrs there not being the way to solve them.

And Israel is your #1 enemy

No, the orange child rapist is my #1 enemy. He wanted bibi to hurry his genocide up, so he's a big part of the problem there too.

You hate Christians

I hate all religion, which is all for controlling people, which Christians love to do — but they hate to walk their talk.

To be fair it's gotten a lot harder to find this stuff, during the discussion I had a study which showed that 3-5% of carbon in the roots of some plants came from soil and not from the air but now I can't find the fucker. The same searches in my history don't turn it up any more so I presume Google churned it away.

And of course the AI doesn't know shit, AIs lie. Just today Gemini told me it was reproducing information verbatim from its training data! Of course it admitted it cannot do that when pressed. Then it told me it was going to give me a direct link to something and couldn't do that either.

how about you actually tell me, the person with a BA in horticulture

The same person who refused to look up whether mature trees and forests sequester more or less carbon than young ones? That person?

leftists think murder is great.

I only ever see a "dead pedophiles don't reoffend" sticker on the same vehicle that has an "elect pedophiles" sticker. (There are two different vehicles like this that I know of in my county, one of which I regularly see on my commute. And that's just what I've seen with my own eyes.) Reich wingers think both murder and child rape are great.
