But what is the Net Energy. That is: Output Energy - Input Energy?

You need to consume energy for the pyrolysis of the nylon. Is the energy from the fuel you get higher than the energy consumed during pyrolysis?
Foreign Affairs › Re: Russian Military Pays Respects To Soleiman Assassinated By The US by ajl:
healthserve:
Russia the backbone to rogue/thug culture that promotes destruction of innocent lives


Russia you are not above God and will pay for your heinous crimes and hypocrisy in promoting destruction of lives across the world. From Syria to Iran. Russia is puffed to the third heavens but will crumble to the bottom of the sea, you chief supporter of destruction and death of innocent lives.


We dare you Russia to show where you showed solidarity to the slain innocent aid workers. Hypocrisy angry Shall anyone stand against the almighty and live to testify of the aftermath angry
If you call Russia all these names, what about the USA. Do you know how many foreign regimes they have toppled in the name American interest. They are all the same. Better you folks keep quiet and don't get involved in things you know so little about. The invasion of Iraq and the killing of Gadaffi. Are those based on truths. Look at the mess left behind in both countries now and tell me it all turned out well. They are all evil nations, including Iran itself and the fake Ashkanazi jewish country that's impersonating the true hebrews. Or didn't the bible foresee this?

Rev. 3-9 (KJV)
"Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
Crime › Re: My Recent Tragic Experience With The Police by ajl: 5:28pm On Jan 08, 2020
I had a similar experience but it was outside Nigeria in Abidjan in 1997. I and two other Nigerian friends were in a bus with other passengers heading toward the border on our way to Nigeria. I am a fair skin Yoruba male and these two stupid gendarmerie said I was Igbo and was doing drugs. That's when my eyes open on how foreigners see us Nigerians. Imagine, that was over 22years ago. And we all assume things were better then. Though drug trafficking was rampant then, an outcome of the fraudulent Babangida years. Same way my fair skin mother was almost thrown off the bus in Lagos during the civil war because they thought she was Igbo. Thank God she spoke Ijebu dialect very well, not just yoruba language. Or have you ever seen a south easterner that speak Ijebu dialect? Profiling people is not a good thing at all.

So, when did Fani-Kayode became a die-hard human rights activist. Because I am yet to see him protest on the streets. Does the poster not know the meaning of "die hard".

Meaning to be "strongly or fanatically determined or devoted" to a cause.

When did we start hearing fanatically from Femi Fani-Kayode? Was it not after his last boss lost the 2015 election.

Fani-Kayode and the "mugun" he was attacking are the same type of classless Nigerian elites who are using the head of shallow-headed youths for their typical elitists "coconut fights". Surely one would crack.

And some low-life Nigerian youths on Nairaland want to kill themselves praising the Turkey in White house for acting stupidly. It's on the news here that both President George Bush and President Obama were wise enough not to order the assassination of the Iranian General when the US intelligence forces had him in sight as a potential target. But a drowning man fighting for re-election will do anything to get re-elected like he accused Obama on similar thing he just did.

Good concerned neighbors
Nigeria neighbors will only increase their music to drown the noise .

Don't be fooled by this hypocritical Americans. They will easily call 911 or cops to get a neighbour in trouble but will likely won't do a thing for a stranger that is in some kind of trouble in public that need immediate help. I live in Texas and on three different occasions I had to call 911 to get help for individuals who appeared unconscious in front of their steering wheel in their cars, usually after stopping by traffic red light. These white Americans here just slowed down when they drove by the victim's vehicle, gave the victim a side look and drove off. During the last incident on Boxing day, while I made a U-turn to park in a gas station some meters away from the victim vehicle in order to get help for the victim by calling 911, it was only an African-Americans lady that stopped to help the white middle-age victim. While I made the 911 call from a distance, the lady stopped her vehicle in the middle of the road beside the victim's car. She stepped out and open the victim's car door and gave the guy a shove on his shoulder. Unbelievably the guy came "alive" after apparently falling asleep in front of the steering. But what I observed was that he had a bottle of wine beside him and appear to be drunk. In summary, most people here and most especially white people will not even give you a look if you are in some kind of trouble because they will suppose that there is a system in place to come to your aid. But somebody got to step up or make the call.

Properties › Re: Cost Of Fence On 1 Plot Of Land by ajl: 5:24am On Jan 06, 2020
HeroKing:
My little contribution.

For you to know the likely quantity of blocks required, just do this arithmetic.

1 metre of land will require 3 units of blocks, either 6 inches/9 inches, this is the normal standard. If you are fencing a plot of land of 60 by 120,
that is:
60 + 60+ 120 + 120 = 360 metres.

In essence, you are fencing 360 metres! 60 metres back and front and 120 meters each for the two sides.

At 3 units of blocks per metre, you need 360/3 blocks : 120 blocks for each coach for the 4 sides of the land (this is the max as you will still need to create space for gate, etc which will reduce the quantity of blocks. Whatever excess you get here will take care of normal loss.

120 blocks at N110 per unit (depending on your supplier) = N13,200 per coach
if you are going to 7 coaches, that is (120 blocks x 7 coaches) 840 blocks or N92,400 for blocks

On the average, bricklayers use 1 bag of cement to lay 60 blocks, so you will need 840/60 = 14 bags of cement

At N1,800 per bag, the cement will cost N25,200 aside from carriage cost.

I leave you to pick the earlier advise on costs estimates for iron rods, concrete foundation, 1 by 12 wood, carpentry labour, etc.

I hope I have contributed a little to reducing your burden.

Building house is not as difficult as people (especially masons, etc) make it to sound.

cheers
How can one trust your estimation when you are using metres where you are supposed to use feet? A plot of land is 60 by 120ft. So, a plot need 360ft of fencing.

matrix199:
So Iran plans using rockets to take revenge on the US?



Whoever cares for Iran should advise her to apply wisdom. It's ok to rant, but don't get carried away thinking you'can keep up hit for hit with America. They better just rant and let it slide, for their own sake.
You think America can afford another full-scale war. You all don't have a clue. With what happened in Iraq, Libya, and Syria. It most recent major wars cost it $6 Trillion (debt). The USA is in serious debt and another full scale war could bring it down economically. War is expensive and we are not talking about billions here. It cost trillions of dollars to execute such wars. America already piled up trillions of dollars debt from its recent wars. And do you think they will get allies to fight such new war with them looking at the recent dent in its relationship with its most trusted allies caused by Trump's actions.

Truth is they can't afford another. Another recession is by the corner. So a full scale war now may bring doom economically. For example, just patrolling the No-Fly Zone in Iraq in the 90s cost $12 Billion per year. That's ordinary patrol activity. The Iraq and Afghanistan war cost US a total if $200 Billion each year. Do you think they will just enter a bank vault to get the cash. It's all debt. Their streets are filled with homeless people who need attention. The country is already in a financial hole it's trying to dig itself out off due to the spending during the last decades of wars.

Romance › Re: My 14-Year-Old Sister Plans To Send Nude Pictures To 27-Year-Old Facebook Friend by ajl: 3:57pm On Jan 04, 2020
Kids of nowadays are bleeped up without solid guidance. My wife 13yr old niece joined us from Nija, and next thing she was making some ass dancing video in the bathroom in front of the mirror. She did not stop there. She was visiting porn/lesbian sites. And one of her former Nija classmate was asking for a nude picture/video on whatsapp.

My naive wife had handed her a Samsung phone with continous internet access immediately she arrived. Obviously she never had a phone or internet access while living in Nija.

There are apps to use to control what kids have access to.

Until all neo-colonialists agents and forces are sent out of Africa, a breakup is not the way to go. These evil nations are waiting to pounce on you.

Foreign Affairs › Trump Once Said Obama Will Start A War With Iran In Order To Get Re-elected by ajl(op): 3:25pm On Jan 04, 2020
Here is a video of Trump criticizing Obama in 2011, saying Obama will start a war with Iran because Obama doesn't know how to negotiate.

Trump: Our president will start a war because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So, the only way he figures he is going to get re-elected and (blabla) is to start a war with Iran.

It's interesting. So who is now starting a war with Iran in hope to stop his impeachment and bolster his chances of re-election at the beginning of an election year?

Is this cannibalism an aftermath of the civil war as a result of food blockade some people just got used to eating human flesh? Because I am perplexed why one human will feed on another.

Even carnivorous animals would not normally eat one another though they may kill each other out of competition.
Celebrities › Re: “I Was Nearly Eaten By Cannibals” – Mr Ibu Narrates Horrific Experience by ajl: 4:22pm On Jan 03, 2020
Why not let us know the name of the village? So, others would be cautious about such places. Is it in the east, south-south, north or south-east. Something tell me it's in the east because I have a friend that was posted to Enugu back in the 90s. The guy did not spend a day at the place he was posted to after the passing out parade. He said there was rumour that there were cannibals among the people in that part of Enugu. Is it this true? Maybe someone from Enugu can confirm. Or my friend was lieing in order not to complete his NYSC, as he traveled out of Nigeria few months later.

One that has pride in his country to the point of refusing to be a US citizen or one who is hoping to be a long time parasite that ran to them like a dog with its tail in-between his leg.

lol u really sure about that? The only reason a single degree drop in Lagos is due to December traveling where alot of ibos and the rest take the family and cause population decrease. Even as I type now the morning Is ice cold but as from next tomorrow there's a certain heat wave you will start feeling u will know the congestion is back again.so Bru forget that the upper you go tin, we are surrounded by lagoon, why isn't the cold air reducing d temperature Even for bar beach u go sweat here.
You got things mixed up a bit. High population density could mean increased local temperature due to increased human activities that drive temperature up due to release of heat; or high amount of vehicles on the road increasing heat-trapping (smog) pollutants in the atmosphere.

The heat experienced in a city is (i.e. heat island) is controlled by multiple factors and not solely by the city population density. It's just a contributing factor. How much significant it is, you can't say except it's scientifically proven through research that look at Lagos specifically.

Factors that control city temperature include: vegetation cover, prevalence of concrete pavements, road network surfaces, number of vehicles on the road, prevalence of specific atmospheric pollutants, etc.
