The standard way to streak a plate involves creating a resevoir of the sample you are studying, then using a sterile tool to streak through that at a steep angle. Then you streak through the first streak with another sterile tool, and so on and so forth.

As you streak through lines, the amount of bacteria pulled along is reduced until you are able to isolate individual colonies.

True. You can shoot lasers and such through a lot of things, but I am trying to describe a phenomenon in relatively simple language without getting too bogged down in the technical details. The question was about flowing liquids, so I assumed it was understood that that was what I was talking about.

Sound is transferred through a medium literally as a wave. When you get right down to the core of it, the wave requires movement within the medium to transmit.

So it might help to conceptualize it not as "Liquid cannot move faster than the speed of sound in it's medium" but more like "The speed of sound in a liquid medium is defined by the speed at which energy can propagate in that system, which includes motion."

I think the main contention with pineapple on pizza is that pizza is often a shared meal. Burgers wouldn't be an issue there.

Is there a specific element or specific songs that seem to stick better than others? Or are you just looking for general electronic trip hop artists?

Sneaker Pimps might fit the bill?

If I ride the disney cruise line am I a sailor?

If we allow space tourists to count as astronauts then it diminishes the actual heroes like Gagarin, Shepard, Tereshkova, Armstrong, or Sally Ride.

Plus. I really don't want to have to call Branson or Bezos astronauts.

Revoking citizenship is a bad president.

He's actively aiding and abbeding the government of a hostile foreign nation that has vocally demanded we scede our sovereignty and surrender our territory to them.

He should be charged with treason.

It should also be noted that you are not required to swear on the internet.

They try to make a distinction when referring to kilocalories as Calories, it's literally just that Calorie (kcal) is capitalized and calorie (cal) is not.

It's a dumb system.

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best is now.

Depending on the manufacture date, the side windows on the model Y may be laminated glass. If that's the case with yours, window smashers won't work on those.
