N14 is 7 protons + 7 neutrons. Add a neutron to that and you've got N15 (7 protons + 8 neutrons).
To get to C14 from N14 you've got to turn a proton to a neutron. (Carbon has 6 protons. C13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons, C14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons).
Roughly speaking proton + electron <-> neutron, so
N14 + beta <-> C14
Obviously you could get from C13 to C14 by neutron capture, but that's not what we're talking about here.
or am I dumb?
So, how do you turn N14 into C14? With a hammer?
Uh, you do know that C14 decays to N14 by emitting a beta particle don't you?
I'm not too hot on mass wealth redistribution though, only that there's a base floor provided for everyone.
Congratulations, you're a socialist.
You know, I asked the very same thing years ago, and was told that because I had more, I should feel proud to give to those who have less. Funny how these noble sentiments go out the window as soon as the "wrong" politics get involved, eh?
The problem with republicans claiming to be against redistribution while benefiting from it isn't that redistribution is wrong, it's that the hypocrisy is irritating.
Ah, the US government gave itself a get out of jail free card.
Shock and awe!
Can I arrest [ Republican Party here in the U.S.] and still pretend to give a fuck about free speech, like you Germans?
Why do you bother asking stupid questions you already know the answer to?
Are the US Republican party promulgating Nazi ideology in Germany?
Why do you pretend to give a fuck about free speach when the only thing you can use that freedom for is to be an idiot on the internet?
A lot of things should be hated and a lot of things should be loved. One of the purposes of free speech is to determine which is which. If "incitement to hatred" is the problem, would I be prosecuted for inciting hatred of the death camps?
Incitement to hatred of people.
Anyway, don't bother arguing with me about it. It's the citizens of Germany who decide what is and what is not allowed in Germany, not some random internet loser.
Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and adherents of other religions do not go on killing rampages.
What fucking planet are you living on?
Uh, censorship wasn't exactly the worst thing the Nazis did, and they don't get censored because of the bad things they did, but because their "speach" consists of incitement to hatred.
Oh, sorry, forgot this:
Talk to any intelligence officer?
I'd expect any intelligence officer to tell me what he was told to tell me, no more and no less. It may or may not have any connection to the truth.
Oh, I understand why people might not want a nuclear armed Iran.
I just don't think any informed person is basing that opinion on paranoid fantasies like yours,
I mean, seriously? A nuclear armed state giving its weapons to another country, let alone a non-state actor like Hezbollah. You must be joking.
And the idea that Bashar would use nukes inside his own country? It's just silly.
Ok, I must say I missed your criticism of the US. (Yes, it's there in the last paragraph, I have no excuse. sorry).
Which is why they shouldn't have a nuclear bomb. The fact is they control Syria
Nonsense.
and Lebanon
Even more nonsense.
A nuclear Hezbollah bombing Israel,
paranoid fantasy. You don't bomb countries that can bomb you back.
nuclear Syria bombing its civilians
If Bashar wanted to use WMD's on his own territory he'd be a lot more likely to use his huge stock of chemical weapons - less mess to clean up afterwards,
and Iran nuclear bombing Saudi citizens rather than trying to gun down their ambassador in DC could be a very frightening situation than anyone imagined.
Big on imagination aren't you.
What's your problem with this one?
Are you pretending that just last week Hezbollah didn't really admit to launching and piloting an Iranian drone over Israel proper?
US flies drones over Iran - no problem.
Iran flies drones over Israel - they are bad people.
Why?
