You spelled “lighter fluid” incorrectly.
Doesn’t the Sun break down Methane in the atmosphere and of course they’re lying about Methane
Bill Gates is a real life comic book villain.
A “verified purchase.” So this poor guy (or girl) really did buy some of this crap. I like the review though.
As the saying goes "The carbon they want to control is you".
Gates wants us dead—it is time to end the denial about his true motives.
What is this ahole’s carbon footprint?
Putrid demon.
dont thing the china and india will go along with this, they along total over 2 billion people
.
Are you sure about that? Is there anybody here that has lived long enough to know what it was like before any computer could do "multi-tasking"? When you had to punch out your code a line at a time on anila cards. and wait in line, hours or mabe days a t a tim for your stack to be run as a batch job?
Bill . . . WHO?
The net effect of silicone based technology is to impair the prospering of mankind.
It will be curtailed.
Probably won’t make that mistake again.
Bill Gates think us peasants are cattle to be dealt with.
Gates also recently rejected planting trees as a way to help the environment. At first, I just ignored this. Then I had a thought. If they succeed in banning use of hydrocarbons, people would naturally turn to wood. Many of the politically correct biomass energy plants burn great amounts of trees. Talk about a fuel you can grow. Gates, like many wealthy leftist creeps, does not want others having heat and energy. Inexpensive energy equals more freedom. More individual freedom equals less power and control for the Ruling Class.
There are great differences between the terms for the scientific and commercial application of Element 14:
o silicon (pronounced sill'-ih-kahn) -- the element of atomic number 14, not usually found in nature by itself, but almost always combined with oxygen (quartz, quartz sand, or sandstone), and often also with (an)other element(s) in substances like granite, metamorphic rocks, clay, zircon sands, jade). Silicon, chemical symbol "Si", is the second-most prevalent element in the earth's crust.
o silica (pronounced sill'-ih-kah) -- the substance "silicon oxide" (chemically SiO2, silicon dioxide) is in its most common form as quartz sand or sedimentary sandstone rock. In its mostly used commercial form, it is the non-crystalline glassy state made from fused quartz, or in a purer way from silica particles precipitated from reactants in solutions.
o silicone (pronounced sil'-ih-kohn) -- the name of a wide class of polymers employing siloxanes in their structure, a very novel and profitable way of making life better. From Wikipedia:
A silicone or polysiloxane is a polymer made up of siloxane (−R2Si−O−SiR2−, where R = organic group). They are typically colorless oils or rubber-like substances. Silicones are used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medicine, cooking utensils, thermal insulation, and electrical insulation. Some common forms include silicone oil, silicone grease, silicone rubber, silicone resin, and silicone caulk.One of the happiest innovations for kids was "silly putty"; been around for maybe sixty or seventy years, now. Golf balls with cores of it made the putters go crazy. ========
If you were talking about control of electrical currents through use of semiconductors, I believe you meant "silicon." If you were deliberately spelling that application as "silicone," you made the error common to people who know nothing about chemistry or electronics. I hope that is not you, that it was just a mistype.
With a FRiendly approach, for your edification --

A friendly approach is always appreciated. But let’s be honest—you know what I meant by the context. I don’t know if I put that e there deliberately or not. I didn’t focus on the distinction at the time. If it had been brought to my attention, I would have chosen “silicon” over “silocone.”
Of note, many chemists and other specialists in highly technical occupations are very poor spellers—much worse than what I did here. This has to do with the fact that their function does not depend on spelling.
