Washing rice does not actually significantly remove contaminants

You can do that, or you can apply to five other positions in the same time.

Almost like giving every single person a 50 sqft hunk of metal (plus 25 sqft on either end) doesn’t work in cities.

Canada, never seen these

Sometimes water isn’t needed. When the heat isn’t enough to boil lots of water, or when the plumbing would be too complicated for the application, it’s possible to directly generate electricity directly from the heat. It’s not as efficient, but it’s useful in some cases. For example: low power, long lifespan spacecraft like New Horizons.

A calque is when a term is translated word by word into a new language. And a loan word is when a word or words are directly taken as-is. In fact, this means that loanword (from German lehnwort) is a calque, while calque (from French) is a loanword :D

My parents are constantly pushing me to own a car.

I have a license because it is a convenient all-in-one piece of ID. I abstain from car ownership because cars fucking suck. They’re expensive to buy, expensive to insure, expensive to maintain, expensive to run, expensive to drive, and you can’t even use your phone* while going places. Car ownership is just overall a bad deal. I’m much happier taking public transit, even if it sucks ass and is twice as slow to get anywhere.

*If you unironically counter this point you should be prevented from ever getting behind a wheel for the rest of your life. Fuck you for putting my and other people’s lives in danger for your own convenience.

In uni they told us part of the purpose of lab coats was to be able to take it off quickly without second thoughts about sentimental value in case of e.g. fire.

Rocks have distinct textures on the tongue that helps differentiate them. It’s not really tasting

Not relevant to the study, more relevant to your point: humans begrudgingly obey authority when threatened.

To jerk your acceleration*

No, but in other examples, incorrect grammar can make a statement scientifically incorrect.

The oft repeated line is grammatically incorrect.
