Molecular oxygen, O2 is seen as a marker for biological activity. Molecule oxygen is pretty reactive and over long time scales it will react with mostly anything and form oxides. If it builds up enough for you to detect it, there must be a source to counteract the sink.
Fun fact, oxygen is the most abundant element in earth’s crust.

Different ballon. That one was shot down over the Atlantic by an F22. This is one of the smaller objects in the following days that was shot down over Lake Huron.

This color scheme is horrendous by the way. The random middle line looks the same as the low end.

You’re saying most states has less renewable energy now compared to 1990? What is your data set?

Reply to TIL that FIFA is a French abbreviation, it would be IFAF in English, and England weren't an original member despite creating the game. FIFA also now has more members than the UN by BXCellent
Funny enough IFAF is the international governing body for American football.
I watched the world championship a few years back and the play is awful. Most teams are near a D3 college level. A competent FCS team would be able to win the whole thing.

That is odd. China was certainly one of the allied powers. Hell they were on of the parties that issued the Potsdam Declaration.

By 1945 the US had 3.6 million personnel across the Navy, Marines, and Army in the pacific. China had over 10 million though. China probably takes the cake in terms of numbers.

Reply to comment by Soyoulikedonutseh in TIL that antimatter is made with antiprotons, which are the opposite of protons, with a negative charge, antineutrons with a neutral charge and positrons, which are the opposite of electrons, with a positive charge. by Doomguy2021
Are you mixing up anti matter with dark matter? Anti matter is very much real. We make it in labs all the time. It is produced in radioactive decay and by cosmic ray collisions.

Reply to comment by NinDiGu in TIL We are currently amidst the longest gap between EF5 tornadoes in history by Danielnrg
It may say that the UK has more when normalized for land area, but that is a silly stat. The US is far far larger than the UK. The US has far more overall tornadoes.
