I had the same question -- how much is natural leeching? have any of these traces been tracked back to sources?
I'd think lead from bullets (if any) would drain more northward, given where most of the shootin' wars were fought.
Where I used to live, the ground was more-than-average radioactive. Blame got pointed at the air force base, but... no. Truth is, the area is lousy with uranium deposits.
Try TIX solder for electronics. Not sure how much lead is in it (it's partly silver and iridium) but it's easier to manipulate, melts at a lower temp, and becomes very hard but not brittle. (I used to work for the outfit that made it.)
Imagine the surprise when they tried to smelt graphite by mistake.
There's a new one for your nightmares.
Drowning in a thin-sheet of zero gravity water that slowly crawls over your head and face, that you cannot wipe away because you're wearing a space suit, that you cannot take off, because you are floating in space.
It's like something from fear factor. Imagine getting into a coffin with a window over your face, and you cannot move your arms/legs. And then you realize the coffin is full of tarantulas... because you feel them crawling up your body towards your face....
This guy keeping his cool is an excellent testament to the training they do back on the ground.
Reminds me of this article:
It's not exactly 19 billion. $12 billion is Facebook shares and $3 billion is restricted stock units. That's a lot like Microsoft paying off its debts with Office and Windows licenses.
Hard for any SATA drive to distinguish itself on sequential transfers, given that SATA is capped around 550MB/s
Somehow an edit went awry. Thanks for noticing. Fixed.
We spent NINETEEN BILLION DOLLARS on a chat program.
We spent the GDP of Macedonia on a chat program.
We're Facebook. We're a chat program company, and we spent the price of a brand new aircraft carrier on a chat program with enough left over to buy every man, woman and child in America a pizza with everything.
Short Facebook.
How about if you assholes retrain the 3000 people for the 3000 open positions?
Assholes.
The burden of proof is not on me to justify the safety of biological reproduction.
Supremely selfish and cruel thing to do without even the remotest understanding of the potential consequences.
What if this leaves the child diseased or crippled with some kind of birth defect? Or that child's children?
Experimenting on human beings who have no say in the procedure in order to satisfy some ambitious ego is nothing more than an expression of pure evil.
(Yes I realize this is high blasphemy against the holy church of science and that it will be modded -1 "Heathen" I don't care. It needs to be said)
My philosophy: If you can SEE the neighbors -- they're too close!
BTW I looked at your photos. The landscapes are fuckin' AWESOME.
