Reply to I remember hearing during the hype leading up to the JWST launch that it would take roughly six months to a year to complete the first pass of an updated CMB map. How are we doing on that? by yofomojojo
JWST sees in infrared, not microwave, so while it can “see further into the past” it can’t directly measure the CMB, which is microwaves.

Reply to If UV radiation is used to disinfect and sterilise things then why isn't everything the sun touches (your skin, the sidewalk etc) sterile? by Critwhoris
Because it takes time, and additional fresh bacteria and whatnot can land on the exposed surface all the time.
I suspect that even 1/8th of an inch under the surface there would be a much higher bacterial and viral load because of the moisture and being shielded from the sun.
A bit of sidewalk under, say, a quartz glass dome would probably be pretty much sterilized after a few days in the sun, from UV and heat.

Reply to Where am I supposed to park? by Opening_Fig34
The state/city isn't responsible for finding you a parking spot.
Since you don't mention where, it's difficult for anyone to make any useful suggestions. But maybe you could spend less on mall ninja gun accessories and find someone you could pay for a parking spot.

There was a bulb in a fixture toward the rear of the space, with a pull string.

When I was a kid we used the under-stairs closet that way. Didn’t need anything fancy, just something to sit on. We had a folding cot type of thing with a foam mattress.

Just thank your lucky stars that you never racked up medical bills and then were stuck with a condition that left you unable to earn the money to pay them off.

It's the same thing John Oliver has done on his show. The medical debt can be bought for pennies on the dollar.

Probably a way to control the property and make sure nobody else can buy it, without taking on a tax liability.
At some point the billionaire will probably “buy the property back” and do something with it.

If they want to park the truck on their own property and show anti-Sikh propaganda, that's one thing. But parking the truck in front of a Sikh restaurant gets into harassment and intimidation based on religion or ethnicity.

Keyboard cleaning slime is the same as the slime kids make at parties. I think it’s made of white glue and borax.
So at least it probably need not be too expensive.
You might be able to mix up 5 gallons or so, dump it on the floor, and sort of roll the slime around with squeegees.

Try hot melt glue. You can probably find a cheap hot glue gun for a few bucks along with some hot glue sticks.
When you want to take them down just brush some rubbing alcohol on the glue and it will loosen its grip on the wall. Make sure the alcohol is applied around the edges of the blob of glue so it can work it’s way underneath.

The style of the ring or the quality of manufacture might be characteristic of a particular historic period. An expert might be able to distinguish a Tudor era ring from an Anglo Saxon era ring from a Roman era ring.
It's conceivable that if the ring has a stone set in it, perhaps there's a bit of wax or resin used to hold the stone in place while the setting is adjusted. If there were, it might be possible to carbon date it.
The gold itself of course is ancient, probably older than Earth itself.
If you melt down a Tudor ring and make a new ring, or even just hammer the ring into a new shape, it won't be a Tudor ring any more and there won't be any evidence it ever was one.
