But Hg2+ is also toxic right? I believe this is not a metalic Hg vs Hg2+ problem, but rather free mercury (or methyl-mercury) vs more complex compounds.
The idea that IS would flood Baghdad makes no sense to me: if they want to rule the territory, such a bold move against the non fighting population is counter productive: it seems impossible to be considered as a legitimate power after that.
Right, Mercury is horribly toxic, and releasing it in the environment is bad. But where do we get the mercury first?
I guess it comes from the environment itself, which suggests some kind of mercury cycle. It was there before as a reasonably harmful compound, perhaps we can ensure it returns to this state?
Lowering public expenses harms the economy and is increases public debt most of the time.
For one USD of public expense, there is more than one USD of GDP generated. It works the other way around, and if you lower public expenses, you lower the GDP. This means there is even less public income through income taxes or VAT.
With reduced expenses, but even more reduced income, the deficit increases, you have to increase debt.
This is exactly what is going on in EU with austerity policies right now.
Sure, but do not confuse omega 6 from vegetables (linoleic acid), and from land animals (arachidonic acid). The later promotes inflamation, high blood pressure, and IIRC adipocyte growth factors. It can be counterbalanced by eating omega 3 from fish.
Polyinsaturated fats (omega 3 and omega 6) are essential. The body cannot produce them, and they are required for major functions. Cutting fat means starving the body for something it needs
On the other hand, carbs are just fuel, and we can create glucose from amino acids if we need some.
Revolutions usually happen when natality drops and people get literate, which let them care about politics. For Iran, it happened in 1979, which means the Iran "arab spring" (wow, don't tell an Iranian he is an Arab) already occurred.
It could happen again (after All, France did 4 revolutions within 1789 and 1848), but do not take it for something ready to mechanically happen.

Interesting and insightful, but it does not answer the question :-)
What share of extracted oil goes to chemistry instead of being burnt?
Sure 64 bits improve things, but providing a 64 bit build does not forbid also providing a 32 bits build for older machines.
I don't know can pick up, if they're a private citizen, one of these drones and fly it over my property.
If I follow the reasoning, if you have no property, you have no right to privacy, right?
The European Commission fought like hell to push software patents, and now they vanish in the US... nothing happen anymore.
That suggests the only motivation for software patents in EU was to have legislation on par for TAFTA.
Cuba is hardly a model of economic progress or human rights
Well, before criticizing human rights in Cuba, remember that Guantanamo bay is ruled by the USA.
If we define intelligence as the ability to adapt faster than genetic evolution can, then it should not heavily rely on genes.
I am not sure "amazing story" is something else than marketing here :-)

Indeed they cannot afford a rover. IIRC the gravity is so low that moving on the surface at 0.5 cm/s is enough to escape the comet.

Your "mercury cycle" suggestion is a bit weird
I was just wondering what prevented us from making sure mercury goes back to the environment in the same form we got it once.
But Hg2+ is also toxic right? I believe this is not a metalic Hg vs Hg2+ problem, but rather free mercury (or methyl-mercury) vs more complex compounds.
you sound libertarian
Please don't insult me.

People cannot at the same time complain about debt and taxes. Debt is there because there is not enough taxes.
Of course the big question is who should be taxed. Someone reminds me what was the higher rate for income tax under Roosevelt?

No cat vids = Arab spring in Iran?
This is not likely to happen, unfortunately.
Revolutions usually happen when natality drops and people get literate, which let them care about politics. For Iran, it happened in 1979, which means the Iran "arab spring" (wow, don't tell an Iranian he is an Arab) already occurred.
