adding the first new thread here in ages, technically millenniums IBdaMann claims that Gold is a molecule, and that the last ice age never happened because I was not there to see it. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is that IBdaMann is clearly not using enough LSD. According to CDC/Government info, people who were vaccinated are now DYING at a higher rate than non-vaccinated people, which exposes the covid vaccines as the poison that they are, this is now fully confirmed by the terrorist CDC This place is quieter than the FBI commenting on the chink bank account information on Hunter Xiden's laptop I LOVE TRUMP BECAUSE HE PISSES OFF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I CAN'T STAND. ULTRA MAGA "Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat." MOTHER THERESA OF CALCUTTA So why is helping to hide the murder of an American president patriotic?  Sonia makes me so proud to be a dumb white boy  Now be honest, was I correct or was I correct?

You see, the individual gold atoms are actually attached to each other. A bar of pure gold is just one gigantic molecule. Gold is a molecule for the same reason that snowflakes are molecules. The individual water molecules in the ice crystal are attached to each other. The snowflake is just one very large molecule. Same reason that GLACIERS are molecules. Massive molecules. The inner core of the earth is solid iron (plus some nickel), and the individual metal atoms are attached to each other. The bonding between the individual metal atoms in the earth's inner core is chemically identical to the bonding between individual metal atoms in a bar of gold. The Earth's inner core is a GIGANTIC MOLECULE. Most chemists do not understand these things. IBdaMann is exceptional in his comprehension of science. "IBdaMann claims that gold is a molecule." And "only a scientifically illiterate moron" would doubt his infallible omniscience. Edited by branner on 27-12-2024 23:10 |

A glaring ERROR that I literally did not SEE, until I noticed for the first time AFTER the paper was already published. How could I have gotten them confused? Well, they often are the same thing. When organic nitrogen is mineralized it is also mobilized. Organic nitrogen can be transformed to multiple mineral (i.e. inorganic) forms - ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, nitrogen gas, NOx, and more. But organic nitrogen is NOT mineral nitrogen, and my paper was about how immobile forms of organic nitrogen get released into solution as MOBILE forms of organic nitrogen. And while ecologists are primarily concerned about "mineralization" because it MOBILIZES nutrients into dissolved form from immobile, solid forms, thus making them available in solution... I messed up bad using the word that meant they had become dissolved INORGANIC nitrogen, rather than dissolved ORGANIC nitrogen. And their release as dissolved ORGANIC nitrogen was perhaps the main point of my paper. Did I mention that it was in the very highly prestigious scientific journal known as Nature? Did I forget to tell you the paper has been cited in more than 800 peer-reviewed scientific publications? Oh! Did I forget to mention that I am a chemist with a PhD?

Dyslexia messes with my spelling sometimes too. Apologies. P.S. It's too bad that NATURE is not a "truly scientific" journal. If it were, I would have been required to provide an "unambiguous definition" for the term I used. I couldn't have just used it in the sentence without first defining my terms. I would have had to define nitrogen mineralization. Nitrogen mineralization is when organic nitrogen is transformed to inorganic nitrogen. That would have made the paper a couple of sentences longer, but it would have alerted ME not to say "mineralized" rather than mobilized. Of course, it would also have had to include unambiguous definition for organic nitrogen and inorganic nitrogen. That's gonna add another four or five sentences, maybe less... Okay, organic nitrogen is nitrogen contained in molecules where it is attached to organic carbon. Inorganic nitrogen is nitrogen NOT contained in molecules where it is attached to organic carbon. That pretty much covers all the nitrogen out there. But the point is that scientists carefully define terms in TEXTBOOKS, and then use those terms to communicate in papers, etc. Any worthwhile research paper would become absurdly long and unwieldy if they had to "define their terms". Unless it is a NEW term, or a controversial one. |

Rush was excited because we proved that it was the ROCKS and not the LOGGERS causing the "pollution". What killed the fish?

Formed from marine sedimentary rocks uplifted tens of millions of years ago and now part of the lower Sierra Nevada mountains, it only underwent mild metamorphosis. The bedrock of the Mother Lode was not subjected to the normal kind of intense heat and pressure that squeezes and bakes all the nitrogen out of rocks. Okay, now that old bedrock is transforming into soil and releasing ammonium. Nitrifying bacteria are using oxygen to oxidize the ammonium to nitrate. Nitrate is leaching into the ground water flowing into creeks in this lower part of the Mokolumne River. Nitrate-enriched water is collecting in the reservoir. Nitrate doesn't kill fish, unless at impossibly high concentration for a river. But nitrate fertilizes algae. And algae decompose eventually.

And in the summer when the wind is still, the high temperature make it hard for water to hold oxygen anyway, and the microbial feeding frenzy consuming the dead algae ALSO consumes all the oxygen. Lack of oxygen definitely DOES kill fish. Those poor fish were trapped in a lake with no escape. It it had been a low-oxygen "dead zone" in the ocean, at least the fish can swim to where there is more oxygen. By the way, maybe we should call "dead zones" by another name. These low oxygen zones are hardly "dead". They support much higher biomass (if you are into anaerobic bacteria) than the adjacent sea outside the so-called "dead zone". They are actually "extra ALIVE zones". Not everyone can escape the "dead zones" before they suffocate. Fish and shrimp and squid, etc., can all sense that there is too little oxygen and swim back to where there is more. But other aerobic organisms cannot move so easily to get to where there is more oxygen. Slow moving or immobile shellfish attached to the rocks have nowhere to go and make the "dead" in "dead zone" mean something. Saved the Port of (somewhere) MILLIONS by showing that dredged sediments are NOT "toxic" (requiring expensive disposal and storage) but a valuable resource to be sold for levee construction, etc. An official waste extraction test using a pH 5 citrate buffer had shown potentially toxic concentration of metals such as nickel could be released from the dredge spoils. Since the dredge spoils already had pH less than 5 due to the sulfuric acid they form upon exposure to oxygen, the citrate WET test proved TOXICITY. It was fun to humiliate the top bureaucrat in federal court. Explaining how citric acid in the citrate buffer is a metal complexing organic acid that scientists love to play with because it is SUPPOSED to pull out a lot more metal than would otherwise be soluble. Explaining how the dredge spoils were no different than the acid sulfate soils formed on millions of hectares of drained wetlands throughout the world. Having pH less than 5 actually STABILIZED the toxic metals by keeping the organic matter insoluble. Liming the dredge spoils with calcium carbonate to raise pH actually caused toxic metals to be released that would NOT be released in the acidic condition. We won in court because we had solid science to support our case. And the opposing argument was very thin and easy to debunk. Caveat - We would have LOST the case if any other consulting agency had brought in any other expert witness or chemist to study it. This I was told by many others who praised the effort. I LOVE it when they tell me I'm a brilliant scientist. Don't get much of that at THIS website, but that's not why I'm here. But I absolutely believe you GasGuzzler that you DON'T effing CARE.

It is possible that GasGuzzler didn't get notified of this post in response to his inquiry. I am very curious to know how my examples of selling my chemistry skills in the free market to the private sector measure up to his standards of what is worthy of respect. GasGuzzler, you have the option to simply pull a Parrot and tell me that I am a LIAR. Make it all go away by insisting that it isn't even TRUE. I never testified in court as an expert chemistry witness, never set foot in a lab, never did ANY of it because I am a Marxist warmazombie scientifically illiterate moron LIAR. You could pull a daMann and BELITTLE my accomplishments as a chemist in the private sector. I wasn't even FIRST AUTHOR of that paper Rush Limbaugh was talking about. I'm just exaggerating the significance to try to pretend I'm anything more than a scientifically illiterate moron Marxist warmazombie. Or you could pull a GasGuzzler and refuse to acknowledge that your assertions are up against evidence to the contrary. and just pretend you never asked, and you never saw the answer.

And in the summer when the wind is still, the high temperature make it hard for water to hold oxygen anyway, and the microbial feeding frenzy consuming the dead algae ALSO consumes all the oxygen. Lack of oxygen definitely DOES kill fish. Those poor fish were trapped in a lake with no escape. It it had been a low-oxygen "dead zone" in the ocean, at least the fish can swim to where there is more oxygen. By the way, maybe we should call "dead zones" by another name. These low oxygen zones are hardly "dead". They support much higher biomass (if you are into anaerobic bacteria) than the adjacent sea outside the so-called "dead zone". They are actually "extra ALIVE zones". Not everyone can escape the "dead zones" before they suffocate. Fish and shrimp and squid, etc., can all sense that there is too little oxygen and swim back to where there is more. But other aerobic organisms cannot move so easily to get to where there is more oxygen. Slow moving or immobile shellfish attached to the rocks have nowhere to go and make the "dead" in "dead zone" mean something. Saved the Port of (somewhere) MILLIONS by showing that dredged sediments are NOT "toxic" (requiring expensive disposal and storage) but a valuable resource to be sold for levee construction, etc. An official waste extraction test using a pH 5 citrate buffer had shown potentially toxic concentration of metals such as nickel could be released from the dredge spoils. Since the dredge spoils already had pH less than 5 due to the sulfuric acid they form upon exposure to oxygen, the citrate WET test proved TOXICITY. It was fun to humiliate the top bureaucrat in federal court. Explaining how citric acid in the citrate buffer is a metal complexing organic acid that scientists love to play with because it is SUPPOSED to pull out a lot more metal than would otherwise be soluble. Explaining how the dredge spoils were no different than the acid sulfate soils formed on millions of hectares of drained wetlands throughout the world. Having pH less than 5 actually STABILIZED the toxic metals by keeping the organic matter insoluble. Liming the dredge spoils with calcium carbonate to raise pH actually caused toxic metals to be released that would NOT be released in the acidic condition. We won in court because we had solid science to support our case. And the opposing argument was very thin and easy to debunk. Caveat - We would have LOST the case if any other consulting agency had brought in any other expert witness or chemist to study it. This I was told by many others who praised the effort. I LOVE it when they tell me I'm a brilliant scientist. Don't get much of that at THIS website, but that's not why I'm here. But I absolutely believe you GasGuzzler that you DON'T effing CARE. You care as much about chemistry as you do about climate change. Which is to say you don't give a flying eff, and your ONLY GOAL is to BE A TROLL So we got the falsely accused dredged sediments that I got off the hook in court, saving the private sector millions and millions. The falsely accused forestry practices I got off the hook in court, saving the taxpayers millions and millions. You might have seen it on the "Rush Limbaugh Cited One of My Discoveries on his Show" thread, where I posted it here. But there were plenty of other cases where I sold my skills for the benefit of all concern. Got the damn REGULATORS off the hook for liability even, when they mandated "pH adjustment" in a massive environmental chemotherapy experiment. I solve the puzzle for them to figure what is REALLY happening with all those complicated biogeochemical reactions in soil, air, and water. Too tempting to provide more and more examples. Of course, my prowess as a chemist is NOTHING compared to Into the Night. I feel so inferior to Into the Night when I read his chemical explanations. It is obvious that he understands this stuff on a WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL than I do. |

Properly assigning credit where credit is due. Question: "Did I forget to mention that I very highly and prestigiously don't fuking care?" - GasGuzzler "You obviously do, as evidenced by your own post, liar." - Into the Night Once again, Into the Night is engaging in personal attacks with false accusations. Falsely accusing GasGuzzler of being a "liar". I will stand up for GasGuzzler and denounce Into the Night for making this despicable false accusation. GasGuzzler genuinely does NOT fuking care. Perhaps Into the Night wants to prevent GasGuzzler from even SEEING the response given to GasGuzzler's inquiry, blocking it with spam. It is possible that GasGuzzler didn't get notified of this post in response to his inquiry. I am very curious to know how my examples of selling my chemistry skills in the free market to the private sector measure up to his standards of what is worthy of respect. GasGuzzler, you have the option to simply pull a Parrot and tell me that I am a LIAR. Make it all go away by insisting that it isn't even TRUE. I never testified in court as an expert chemistry witness, never set foot in a lab, never did ANY of it because I am a Marxist warmazombie scientifically illiterate moron LIAR. You could pull a daMann and BELITTLE my accomplishments as a chemist in the private sector. I wasn't even FIRST AUTHOR of that paper Rush Limbaugh was talking about. I'm just exaggerating the significance to try to pretend I'm anything more than a scientifically illiterate moron Marxist warmazombie. Or you could pull a GasGuzzler and refuse to acknowledge that your assertions are up against evidence to the contrary. and just pretend you never asked, and you never saw the answer.

The private sector paid me to get them out of a pickle that would have cost them literally millions and millions of dollars if I hadn't come through with some good chemistry that they could take to court.

Saved the California taxpayers MILLIONS by showing that it wasn't FORESTRY PRACTICES (putting liability on Cal Dept of Forestry), but just the natural bedrock that caused the big fish kills in the reservoirs. You might have seen it on the "Rush Limbaugh Cited One of My Discoveries on His Show" thread that I posted here before. Rush was excited because we proved that it was the ROCKS and not the LOGGERS causing the "pollution". What killed the fish? Well, ammonium ions were released from the bedrock closest to the soil surface. There is a rare patch of ammonium-rich bedrock right in the middle of the Mother Lode, of California Gold Rush fame. Formed from marine sedimentary rocks uplifted tens of millions of years ago and now part of the lower Sierra Nevada mountains, it only underwent mild metamorphosis. The bedrock of the Mother Lode was not subjected to the normal kind of intense heat and pressure that squeezes and bakes all the nitrogen out of rocks. Okay, now that old bedrock is transforming into soil and releasing ammonium. Nitrifying bacteria are using oxygen to oxidize the ammonium to nitrate.
