Talk:Suggestion

message: This page originally consisted of a fairly dated Encyclopedia Britannica entry. I've added a little more, and plan to continue, with the aim of linking suggestion much more substantially with the entry for hypnosis. They are very much two sides to the same coin; the process of hypnosis consists of responses to a combination of intstructions and suggestions. Separation of hypnosis and suggestion allows for a deeper understanding of classic debate between 'state' and 'nonstate' perspectives of hypnosis, allowing for research of non-hypnotic suggestibility. I'm aiming to keep the entry firmly based in the scientific literature which has a lot to say about. I have a feeling (hope) it will be easier to keep the psychobabble out of the suggestion entry than for hypnosis. (MWhalley 01:06, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The text states that “Modern scientific study of hypnosis, which follows the pattern of Hull's work, separates two essential factors: "trance" and suggestion”. After reading the excellent and nuanced article on Hypnosis, one finds  that there is no consensus at all between scientists that a specific hypnotic state (“trance”) exists in the first place, this is the central theoretical disagreement regarding hypnosis ( "state versus nonstate" debate). Also it is suggested that if it exists at all, state has a rather limited effect on the outcome.  That “suggestion” is the only other “essential factor” is also subject to debate, some modern theories of hypnosis would say otherwise. --2.109.65.174 (talk) 10:46, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Thorium fuel cycle

message: Question: this section discussed the U232 decay cycle. The text states U232 decays into dangerous Rn, Bi, and Tl, but included graphic shows decay chain starting with Th232. Is this correct? Is this a typo, or is there a substantial decay path between U232 and Th232? If so, it is not mentioned in text. For me the graphic does not match up with the text. This is confusing. Dwightfowler (talk) 16:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The last sentence of that text before the decay formulas says: "232U decays to 228Th where it joins the decay chain of 232Th".  And the first formula shows this happens via alpha particle emission. ---Avatar317(talk) 23:28, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification of Section on U-232 Contamination 

message: Apologies if I am using the Talk section improperly. I could not find a way to reply to the original post re: the MIT Study on the future of the nuclear fuel cycle.
In Appendix A: of the MIT report, thorium's economic viability in the current and proposed future nuclear fuel streams for light water reactors (LWR) is thoroughly discussed. The reasoning asking with the pros and cons are clearly laid out and discussed.
I argue for its inclusion, but the sections needs to be expanded with several clarifications taken from the MIT report. Dwightfowler (talk) 17:50, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  RE: MIT Study Concludes Little Incentive? 

message: This seems to be a list of reactors where any thorium was ever inserted and burned, with no distinction between ongoing use, one time at commissioning, for fuel enhancement, research projects, etc.  Is that really useful?  It might be better to distinguish at least between primarily thorium-fueled reactors (at this point just prototypes as far as I can tell) and reactors where thorium was used but is not the primary fuel.

text: To my knowledge, your comment about PRIMARY fuel is correct; we could re-title that table to "List of reactors in which Thorium was experimented with as fuel".  It is definitely hard to be both accurate and concise. ---Avatar317(talk) 20:15, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Subirrigation

message: Regarding the reference to subirrigation for field crops in Florida, I was under the impression that subirrigation usually refers to the greenhouse systems, and is experimental as an outdoor technique.

thread_title:  Articulo en español 

message: The introduction mentions lipids and hydrophobic forces, yet under the complex coacervation section, we learn that two hydrophilic solutions are mixed. The classic gelatin / gum arabic system has no lipids and no hydrophobic interactions. The formation of droplets is driven by electrostatic forces. It only occurs when the pH is adjusted so that the two species have opposite charge. So are there two subspecies of coacervation or is the first paragraph wrong? I'd love to know.

message: There really should be a section describing the actual science, prior to jumping into the historical context.

Talk:Duel (1971 film)

message: I expected the truck to burst into flames, at least when it finally came to rest. The tumble down the cliff was (potentially) survivable, but after a search around the internet I cannot find if a sequel was ever planned. Perhaps Spielberg considered flaming crashes too cliche; but the car did start to burn, and the truck (literally) had 'FLAMMABLE' written all over it. JohndanR (talk) 06:33, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: No sequel was planned. (The truck not bursting into flames wouldn't have had anything to do with a sequel anyway, since Duel was made decades before it became common practice to have every movie hint at its sequel.) The truck exploded into flames in Matheson's script, but Spielberg felt it would be more haunting if Mann and the viewer could look upon the wreckage of the truck afterwards.--Martin IIIa (talk) 17:34, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Many years ago I was a young police officer attending the police academy. During EVOC training (Emergency Vehicle Operations Course) I recall one of the instructors telling us that often it's the short fast crash that kills more then the long drawn out spectacular crash. A couple days later Dale Earnhardt was killed in a race. His crash wasn't "spectacular" but he was killed instantly....in contrast to those NASCAR wrecks where the car seems to explode as it flips drown the racetrack. I've always liked the crash of the truck. Those are often how they happen and what they look like. Plus Spielberg was working with a tiny budget. Thunderbuster (talk) 15:08, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Sherborn, Massachusetts

message: Some people seem to disagree with the inclusion of Chad Urmston on this page. I would imagine that this is because they are older editors who are unfamiliar with the band Dispatch.  I believe the inclusion of Chad on this page is warranted because of the success of his band, which brought over 100,000 people to the hatchshell in Boston for their last concert in 2004.  My guess is that the editors who remove Chad think that Dispatch is just some random kids band, but believe me when I say that nearly all americans under 25 have heard of this band.

thread_title:  Age? 

message: On several occasions in the last few months I've heard the allegation that Mr Ashman is in the rather dubious position of being both a competitor on AND a question-setter for the 'Eggheads' programme. While I'd never given any serious consideration to the hinted-at impropriety, the article's assertion that Mr Ashman was a question-setter for 'Brain of Britain' suggests an easy route for this canard to have got started. 
Definitely something for the PR people to watch out for, since this sort of misinformation can easily spread.
