I recall when the Rt Hon Roy Hattersley MP was unable to fulfill a scheduled appearance on "Have I Got News for You". So they used a tub of lard instead.
Better solution: install a sub-slab depressurization system, which pumps air out from under the basement slab and vents it above the roof line. I had one put in a few years ago, because after I sealed all the air leaks in the basement I found the radon levels had gone over the EPA recommended limit.
See post above about Democratic Republic of Congo. Also, recall that East Germany was the German Democratic Republic. Then, go read up about fascism and where it fits on the political spectrum. You scabrous spittoon of stable sweepings.
But wait, there's no need for the Right to feel left out -- they could use technology like this to round up the jews, queers, gypsies et al., with just a fraction of the effort invested by their Nazi role models back in the '30s!
I find your 'ivory tower monk' gag rather strange, given that it was university-based scientists like Norman Borlaug who gave us the green revolution. As opposed to knuckle-dragging hayseeds like yourself.
Are you sure the OTA quality has gone down? In many cases, OTA (digital) is better quality than cable, since the cable companies recompress the signal.
In the US, you can always tell the tollways from the freeways -- they're far less well maintained, as the private businesses which own them are interested in extracting as much profit as possible. Since there is no cost incurred from the delays, accidents and/or deaths caused by the poor road quality, the businesses simply don't bother with maintenance. It's the invisible hand of the market at work, not giving a flying fuck about the externalities.
But in E=m c^2, m is the relativistic mass (non-zero for any moving particle) and not the rest mass which comes from the Higgs field. All particles have mass, even photons.
What about s-process nucleosynthesis on the asymptotic giant branch? There's no supernova involved, but elements heavier than iron are created by neutron capture. About half of the heavy elements in the modern Universe were created this way.
No, you couldn't. The osmium tetroxide caused by spontaneous oxidation would gas the airline staff, you insensitive clod! (Also, if you can afford a suitcase of osmium, you can also afford your own jet, no?).
Haven't you got this the wrong way around? If it weren't for the binding field energy, the masses of protons and neutrons would be *larger* than the sum of the masses of the constituent quarks. That is, the binding energy is negative, and subtracts from the Higgs-imparted quark masses to give the resulting proton and neutron masses.

Only if you're an ignoramus cut from the same cloth as flight attendants who use "momentarily" to mean "in a moment". Now get off my fucking lawn.

Benveniste, I believe, was exposed as a fraud by Nature.
My, what a splendid display of woo. Please, give us some more!
So you're advocating a nanny state where the government mandates what the silly patients should have?
Had my RPi for a month now... what you talkin bout, Willis?

Will they stop me from registering mmmmmmmm.bacon?
The key though is that is beta decay. A process that neutrinos don't participate in.
Say what? How does beta decay conserve lepton number without producing an antineutrino?

Charisma is the consolation prize people award themselves when they're clearly not as rich as Mitt Romney.
No, wisdom (or "common sense") is the consolation prize people award themselves when they're clearly not as intelligent as I am.
You ignore the strong empirical data regarding the inverse correlation between crop yields and temperature. See, e.g., http://andrewgelman.com/2007/04/climate_change/.

...is using a slingshot to shot Natalie Portman at 1 m/s into a vat of HOT GRITS!
I-476. It's a piece of fucking shit.

Just to enumerate them:
6 quarks (up, down, strange, charmed, top, bottom)
3 leptons (electron, muon, tauon)
3 lepton neutrinos
1 electromagnetic boson (photon)
2 weak nuclear bosons (W, Z)
1 strong nuclear boson (gluon)
1 Higgs boson
Did I miss anything?
Thanks for that apostrophe at the end of the band name -- otherwise, I wouldn't have known an 's' was coming up!

The butthurt runs deep in this one!
