I only found out about bone charcoal being used to refine sugar when a strict vegan friend of mine explained why he can't have anything containing refined sugar.
By that logic, a vegan couldn't eat anything that was organically grown using animal manure or warm castings as fertilizer. Even as-found natural soil that's never been subject to the addition of fertilizers is going to have nutrients in it from worms and nematodes and the breakdown of dead insects and so on. Everything in nature is recycled. Everything.

I already knew that the fine soot-like industrial carbon known as "lampblack" was made by burning bones, but I had assumed it was animal bones..... One also wonders if some of the charcoal generated by burning bones ended up in gunpowder and munitions as well.

I'm shocked that health insurance doesn't cover glasses! Here in Australia, my health insurance definitely covers at least part of the cost of lenses and frames, and medicare covers some or all of the cost of eye test, depending where you get the test done. I get up to $180 back on the lenses and frames, which would cover a low-cost pair of glasses, but for some reason only the expensive designer frames look good on my face, so I end up spending a lot more. I keep them for at least 1 or 2 additional prescriptions, which I get every 3 years or so, which means they last at least 6-9 years, whereas the cheap frames seem to break a lot sooner.
How heavy does a satellite have to be for 70lbs of it to be aluminum? Is that like the antenna array/dish? Just thinking of how long a 70lb piece of extruded aluminum would be.
@@Robbie-sk6vc Again, without some data it's impossible to know what you are trying to say. What do you mean by reasonable? You could mean "Most are the size 2 elephants!" or "Most are the size of 10 tea cups!" both seam reasonable to me.
who authorized Musk to put up 12,000 satellites for a private, for-profit company? Shouldn't that have been discussed & approved by NASA & the United Nations?
Musk got way too many approvals for his fraudulent businesses (yes, I'm thunderf00t follower :) ) in general and I’m sure he won’t go to jail for anything. It’s last resort of us entrepreneurship in economic battle with China.
@@jamesphillips2285Why should it be any of YOUR business what someone ELSE does with THEIR $$? Do YOU have a satt. up there? If not, then it's not of your concern!
The question of aluminum oxide in the upper atmosphere begs another question: how much Al2O3 is deposited in our atmosphere by dust and meteors? Are we sure that the mass of meteors and dust is that much less than the mass of reentering satellites? I find it hard to believe that little material is naturally entering the atmosphere.
the absolute mendacity of the "CO2 Coalition", sickening. (can't spell coalition without coal). Pretty angry about the satellite situation too. After centuries of industrial development and industrial pollution and endless wars, we know very well that actions have consequences and seemingly infinite resources are always very finite, and we should have anticipated that with space. I guess as long as we're 200 bickering "nations" instead of one world, getting global action on anything is difficult. Even the optimistic Star Trek timeline starts with a global war between factions.
Tenth order anti-satellite weapons! Not sure about the UA-cam's research, what sample they took and how they conducted it. I'd really like to see some data or a paper or two behind their claim. I'm nearsighted at -4.5...-5 and wearing my glasses with pride. "Anything in the head is not covered by the insurance" - especially mental health... Here in Poland basic services are covered but often inaccessible when you need them due to long queues. Coal-ition, eh? Hope they ain't saying this with a straight face. Gotta ask Audrey if she needs more CO2 or more people to eat. Those guys could be nice candidates.
C02 Coalition, thats funny sh*t. or it would be if people were not so greedy as to destroy the atmosphere their kids and grandkids will have live with just to have a bigger number at the bank. Who doesnt love Carbon? You dont like Diamonds or ashes or dirt, gotta have dirt for them plants as well, lol :) Love ya Fran.

@@FranLab That's right sky lab! We've also had the debris from rockets, Both American and Indian. It was some time ago and I can't remember the exact details, but we did have a news report Where one family on a remote farm Had space junk fall through the roof of their house into their living room. Luckily they were out tending to the livestock at time.

With the space weapons thing you actually do need to have a capability before you can ask for restrictions on it. Who got to make the rules around nukes? It wasn't NZ. There's a video by a channel called Perun on automated weapons systems that explains the dynamic much better than I can in comment.

@@lightningdemolition1964 , it was a joke! Although, the pull that can be exerted on any magnetic content in that space junk, be it from steel or nickel, is somewhat more effective in space, where objects have mass but weigh a lot less than they would on earth. Perhaps the orbital version of a cow magnet is needed ( yeah, its a real thing; look it up!).
More FUD!, CO2 may be naturally occurring but us humans are dumping a large amount of unnatural CO2 into the atmosphere. If you understood the scale of the numbers you'd find the amounts staggering.
Aliens again here. If we could talk to the animals. I always thought my dog could understand most things that I said. If he had a voice I think he probably could really talk, probably mostly about food but, but really talk like a person. I wonder if someone could do some sort of brain implants where the speech areas could be read out in a sound producing thing on his collar. Like a prostecstc, can't spell that word, voice. If they did that with all the animals, the world would be a different place. By the way aliens can speak esp and so can dogs. Just wait for the AI's to get their hands on it.

In order to encounter this debris would one not have to be in orbit at the same altitude and thus be traveling at a similar rate?
