Absolute rarity is not be the entire thing with value, though... demand is important too... and faith, apparently. Must be the same reason that diamonds harvested by poor in wartorn shitholes are more valuable than synthesised ones.
The bismuth in your pepto-bismol is much less prevalent than silver (there is roughly twice as much bismuth as gold, and 20x as much silver as gold), yet it is considerably cheaper.
Well, let's hope they don't put any chlorine in your hard disk, then...
H2 + Cl2 = 2HCl reaction requires light or high temperature as well, IIRC... but the whole thing as silly as it would never be put in the drive in the first place.
Hah, yep. I noticed my "agreement of the services" with visa states that if chip authentication is used, it's assumed I authorized it - i.e. there are no fraudulent transactions that use the chip, I'm liable.
Makes you want to rip the contacts off the card...
DDR had the double dose too. German Democratic Republic.
But republic is extremely common in country names, so... It's usually just the 'democratic' multiplier that means that it isn't, or isn't terribly so, in practice at least.
Just vague recollection here, but I seem to recall the german subsidiary solely designed it for this task. How much IBM proper knew, I'm not sure.
This type of profiteering is so common during war... Sweden sent bearings and the like to Britain, while at the same time shipping iron ore to Germany for their tanks, for example. No shame, I guess.
The rich took over the govn't, and then voted to quit taxing themselves and their interests. They even voted to bail out their companies on the backs of middle class citizens. Is that what you are referring to?
Because it sounds to me like you are implying social programs are bleeding us dry, which is a joke. Drop in the bucket.
I've always wondered why they don't just run the polls on UTC instead of local time, or have the polls run longer in the east, so they all stop at the same time.
Easier to enforce than blackout laws... especially with the internet.
Satellite records of sea ice extent date back to 1979, though a 2011 study by Kinnard et al. shows that the Arctic hasn't seen a melt like this for at least 1,450 years
I don't think this has existed in recent history - I'd imagine old Motorolas were made here, though. Anyone know?
My obsolete Nokia is made in Finland, and they had quite a bit of manufacturing capacity in Finland, Germany, and... Hungary? (until recently, at least. The slogging they've been getting doesn't give them the luxury of that anymore, I suppose, and they've been shutting down facilities). Their cheap models have been made in Korea and more recently China for some time, though.
That's entirely false. I can't see assembly in the US costing more than a $50 premium (I seem to recall a story here stating that amount, or less, as well).
However, if all the components were made state-side, those small premiums would add up somewhat more. Still nowhere near 3x cost though.
The Soviets could have kept Afghanistan under control if it weren't for someone giving them weapons...
Most the wars since the bomb have been like this, so it's hard to say. (since both sides would be united in this hypothetical, so no proxy wars of superpowers).
I'm fairly certain RBMK can (and did) run raw uranium too.
They run slightly enriched uranium now though, AFAIK. To run the reactor in a more stable spot of the curve... to avoid another chernobyl-type screwup.
Yeah, those rough edges surely impeded the Soviet progam...

Big deal. Farmers gotta eat too. It's still cheaper than a gallon of gas, and I use a hell of a lot more of that than milk.
I guess I might look at it differently if I went through 20 gallons of milk a week, as opposed to a quart. But as it stands, nice to know we're getting higher quality milk...

Collusion is the term you are looking for.

True, but younger voters also... tend not to vote, period.
Perhaps a peer pressure can change that, but I wouldn't count on it either.

Yes. They want to repeal all regulation that is "bad for business", to fuck the environment and working class.
But they love to regulate morality, and social issues...

argh, now how am I going to get the cola-snot out of my keyboard?!
Heh, this is the exact quote I had in mind when reading the summary.
Typical cancer, putting profit over all else. Same folks that run the west, more or less. And people wonder why it's getting harder to get by...
I've always wondered why they don't just run the polls on UTC instead of local time, or have the polls run longer in the east, so they all stop at the same time.

I'd guess snakes are the biggest rodent predator? or hawks. followed by foxes or coyotes or so..?
Snakes have the advantage of being able to go into a mouse house and eat the whole family... Damn shame people are always killing them for no reason.

Being forced to make food (ostensibly to benefit all) is slightly more morally sound than being forced to make electronics for private profit.
Being 'drafted' for food production is certainly not any worse than (military) conscription, is it? A practice that carries on in many places...

Bottle looks to be in pretty good shape - I can't tell what the seal is, just cork?
I wonder if he'll get to collect the 6 pence finders fee. What's that in decimal... with interest?

The federal ministry of tourism may be interested though. Which 'travelbelize' happens to be part of (via Belize tourism board).
That's what they did, and were called on it. There's a threat of $1000 a day fines for people participating in the 'illegal' strike.
Every time they try to strike lately, the govn't writes new legislation and forces them to work anyway.
Some defy it, in an 'illegal strike', like we had the other day.
The companies bringing this forward, Quebecor and the like, aren't what I would refer to as 'new startups'.
CBC's mandate is to freely inform and entertain Canadians, in a sustainable manner.
