About a hundred thousand Japanese died of starvation in late 45 and early 46, and that was with massive food aid from the Allies. Their intra-coastal shipping and railroads were pretty much destroyed by August '45 and they had no way of getting their harvest to the cities. So, not invading was an alternative, and it would have killed at least ten times as many Japanese civilians.
They wanted to keep the emperor, and a couple of other things. No war crimes trials, and no occupation troops. They weren't trying to surrender, they were trying to call "time-out".
And if you'd actually *read* the link you posted, it says "Since hydrogen sulfide occurs naturally in the environment and the gut, enzymes exist in the body capable of detoxifying it by oxidation to (harmless) sulfate. Hence low levels of sulfide may be tolerated indefinitely." If you're concerned about being exposed to it, you should know that your gut is full of it right this very second, and is far more "dangerous" to you than the guy on the elevator tooting his horn.
Sewer workers have to worry about hydrogen sulfide. You don't.
Are you by chance a nicotine addict? Maybe you should try dipping skoal.
South Carolina requires a filing fee of $ 20,000 for each candidate, so the Republican party of South Carolina makes $10,000 off each candidate they put on the primary ballot, and the Democratic party of South Carolina loses $17,5000 for each one of theirs.
That tells you which party knows anything about financial matters:)
Feel free to calculate the energy requirements needed to accelerate that big rock of yours to over a kilometer a second so it can escape the moon's gravity. Hydrogen bombs are cheaper and more destructive.
Because he was at the end of the line of people asking questions, then he rushed the stage to the front of the line and started going nuts. He was being highly disruptive before he ever asked a question.
The carbon dioxide you breathe out is ultimately derived from plant material, which get their carbon by drawing it out of the air. When you start eating foods based on fossil fuels, you may have something resembling a point.
It's not investor funded. The plane was bought with their own money (likely made when they sold Google stock after the IPO). The 1.3 million a year is coming out of their own pocket too, not Google's.
As far as Warren Buffet goes, his company (Berkshire Hathaway) invested heavily in the "time share" business jet business a few years ago. That is probably what they use when they fly.
The crew of the Enola Gay spent months practicing dropping a bomb and getting away from the target as fast as they possibly could (pull a 180, dive to pick up speed, full throttle). It's unlikely they thought they were carrying five tons of TNT.
He's probably talking about all the masses being in Latin until about 50 years ago. You have to go back a few centuries to get to where the church would kill you if you had a non-Latin Bible (or, more likely, if you weren't a priest and had *any* bible).
Where I live you can have two water meters; the one used for watering the yard or filling the pool won't have sewage charged. Even if you don't, if you fill your pool or have a water leak, you can call them up and adjust your bill (pools usually drain into the storm drains, not the sewer).
The cop who pulled over McVeigh did it because he was driving without licensce plates. He was an experienced cop, felt that something was fishy, and found an illegal weapon in the car. McVeigh cooled his heels in an Oklahoma jail for a few days before they even realized he was the guy (I believe they got the VIN for the U-Haul that blew up and traced it to him).
They didn't bust him with satellites. And your buddy was goofing on you.
You are aware that recently India and China have gone from being socialist/communist to capitalist, and as a result their people's standard of living has started going up?
Heck, just look at North vs. South Korea. At the end of WWII, North Korea had most of the population and industry and South Korea was nothing but peasants and farms. Now look at it.
There's an idea I read about where, if you build a shell around a planet like Jupiter with a suitable radius, you'll have a very large surface area with Earth gravity. It'd be a pain to keep stable, though.

I believe the state filing fee is per candidate. Can't find the link.

Not if you wait till the amount builds up enough. When the odds are 100 million to 1 and the cash payout's 200 million, it's a good investment.
Uh, you can get cancer from that? Or are you using some definition of "poison" that I'm not aware of?
Actually, they were amputees walking on their hands.

You mean, just like the cabin floor of a spaceship accelerating at 1 G keeps you from falling to your doom?

Enron did something worse than gas a thousand people to death?
Does he work for Sofa King? (youtube it if needed)

I would think that the cost to orbit would only use the cargo weight, not the weight of the whole friggin orbiter.

Buy all the land in a county. Evict everyone. You'd just have to pay to maintain your infrastructure.

At least until the first time someone in one of those virtual universes builds a quantum computer and runs it, then they blow the stack.
