Just deleted 1100 messages from my inbox. Plenty more garbage to clean; would make more sense to delete on-the-spot.
Command? Is that a Mac thing?OmCheeto said:[command][shift][j] is my inbox hero.
My guess was: shift to junk [somewhere]. but I tested it here, just in case ...WWGD said:Command? Is that a Mac thing?
Yes.WWGD said:Command? Is that a Mac thing?
It not only sends it to the "junk" file, but all future emails from that sender go straight to the junk file.fresh_42 said:My guess was: shift to junk [somewhere]. but I tested it here, just in case ...
I'm really concerned about your health, but anyway: stay away from rednecks!WWGD said:When I tell a person about one of my relative's death they will often say " I am sorry about that". Then I say:
"Why, were you the one who killed him/her ?" Not everyone seems to think it is funny. EDIT: I know it is a Non-Seq, but I just like the shock value.
When I'm at the doctor's office and they ask me if I'm allergic to anything, I answer "just poison". It stops them dead in their tracks every time as they try to process that.WWGD said:When I tell a person about one of my relative's death they will often say " I am sorry about that". Then I say:

Do you answer to the question, whether there have been mental problems in your family with a list of dead relatives?Borg said:When I'm at the doctor's office and they ask me if I'm allergic to anything, I answer "just poison".

But they're not dead yet.fresh_42 said:Do you answer to the question, whether there have been mental problems in your family with a list of dead relatives?

... as long as nobody is allergic to shrubberies everything should be fine ...Borg said:But they're not dead yet.
And what energy source do you use to obtain the sodium from your source material? And why would it not be better to use that energy to produce hydrogen directly from water?Wecandothis said:Hi, I might be wayyyy off topic, but using sodium and capturing the Hydrogen released to create a fuel has to be possible. I think we are numb to think otherwise.
Without any specific question, problem or suggestion, there is probably no appropriate forum for this. We already use desalination facilities, produce hydrogen by renewable energy sources and use them e.g. in cars and also use salt or oil as heat storage capacities. So I can't see anything new in your thought - random or not. It is just so, that this random thought forum is meant to be a kind of recreational area filled with thoughts which are unrelated to actual science.Wecandothis said:Hello,
In our thought?? my thought you simply take it from the ocean, not fresh water, but highly salt-sodium extract the sodium and use the remains as a coolant. Sorry, can you please direct me to a forum for random thoughts? the Ocean is there to use there is a purpose.
Been snake-bit so many times you made your own anti-toxin?Borg said:When I'm at the doctor's office and they ask me if I'm allergic to anything, I answer "just poison". It stops them dead in their tracks every time as they try to process that.![]()

The anesthesiologist's (no)joke put me to sleep...StoneTemplePython said:There are some doctors in my family. One of them is an Anesthesiologist. As part of the background work before surgery he (or a surgeon) will ask:
"Are there any drugs you are allergic to?"
A very common response:
"Milk and other dairy."
No joke.
Maybe something else too, like gun shots?Borg said:When I'm at the doctor's office and they ask me if I'm allergic to anything, I answer "just poison". It stops them dead in their tracks every time as they try to process that.![]()
Getting sodium metal out of water in the first place involves the reverse of a similarly energetic reaction. First you have to extract it from the water then separate it from the chloride (which can be done using large amounts of electricity to split molten salt giving sodium and chlorine). There are much more efficient ways to make hydrogen than extracting sodium and reacting it with water.Wecandothis said:Sodium metal reacts highly to freshwater.

You could have spent at least an old, if not a rotten.StoneTemplePython said:I suppose I could one-up this, with a callback and a French twist to be:

A propos poisson. The common Proto-Indo-European heritage "ghabh" which led to English "give" or German "Gabe" (=the given) also led to English "gift" and in some countries around the North Sea "Gift" (= poison). Strange, isn't it?StoneTemplePython said:I suppose I could one-up this, with a callback and a French twist to be:
