Green ammonia electrolysis breakthrough could finally kill Haber-Bosch
This is extremely good news and expect it to be rapidly adopted. Anyone familiar with the Haber Bosch process knows it is a process pig that we have wanted to replace from the day it was discovered. Yet here we are well over a century later and still using it. The important point is that we need ammonia to make usable nitrogen available. This process is obviously not a power pig as well which means that plug in units for greenhouses may well work. Nitrogen engineering has been vital to our whole agricultural regime and mother nature is a stingy supplier. We do a poor job o... read more
In The Quantum Realm, Not Even Time Flows As You Might Expect
Now understand something. Creation of matter produces order through curvature decay. We observe the occasional breakdown of that order to observe time. shifting from time page to time page is decission driven and it is naturally fuzzy. Quantum lets us glimpse some of this.

Creepy 'Pale Crawler Humanoid' Experiences
The first report is clearly a Giant Sloth and the long finger claws are particularly noted. It is hairless in this report. The second report tells of a large creature that cannot be seen. Again conforming to plenty of Giant Sloth reports. The third report is again a humanoid without fur. The skin is identified as buckskin.. It is reasonable to understand that the Giant Sloth sheds its fur once a year and is then apparently naked for a time. We also know that a Sasquatch has been seen with a thin hair coat likely for the same reason. These all conform to my developed expec... read more

Don't Forget: China and the United States Have Already Gone To War
*Robert Farley* *Sino-American War, Asia* Chinese and American leaders should remember the costs of the first Sino-American conflict. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The most important legacy of the first Sino-American War is the enduring division of the Korean Peninsula. In November 1950, China and the United States went to war. Thirty-six thousand Americans died, along with upwards of a quarter million Chinese, and half a million or more Koreans. If the United States was deeply surprised to find itself at war with the People’s Republic of China, a country that hadn’t even... read more

With only a few notable exceptions, Israel can buy whatever it wants from the United States, generally on very generous terms associated with *U.S. aid packages*.

A Call to End the Cycle of Discrimination and Exclusion of Iraqi Women
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec 09 (IPS) - As a feminist activist and defender of women’s rights in Iraq, I would like to share with you my growing concerns about the assassinations, kidnappings, assaults, threats of assassination against and defamation of feminist activists and human rights defenders, which they have faced especially during the popular protests in October 2019–2020, all of which have occurred with impunity.

Its used carriers sold to other nations aren't any better. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Efforts from China, India, and others to purchase aircraft carriers from Russia and other countries have often resulted in long delays and expensive cost overruns. Imposing, flexible, able to sail fast and launch devastating air strikes at long range, aircraft carriers are the ultimate expression of national power. And many of the world’s best-armed countries are acquiring them. China, Russia... read more

Had she ever sailed, the Soviet supercarrier *Ulyanovsk* would have been a naval behemoth more than 1,000 feet long, with an 85,000-ton displacement and enough storage to carry an air group of up to 70 fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

In response, a U.S. task force targeted two inoperable oil platforms that IRGC forces were using as bases for armed speedboats.

How NATO Saved Bulgaria's Air Force from Utter Destruction
