Gold not a small fraction, it is half the value of M2, quite comparable. Again, when we were on the gold standard until 1973, we did not have nor need any such level of "coverage" as you are claiming, a gold standard for backing paper money never worked that way.
Dollar and euro are undesirable as it is subject to uncontrollable machinations/creations of banking cartel (70% of U.S. bailout actually went to foreign banks), the dynastic families in that are quite evil, funding both sides of wars, genocides, etc.
bullshit. there is no such thing known by scientific study. Your linked article only has a study in it which" Chi-Tang Ho, Ph.D., conducted chemical tests among 11 different carbonated soft drinks containing HFCS. He found 'astonishingly high' levels of reactive carbonyls in those beverages."
Never mind the emotional language in the article about "suspected" this or that, not part of the study.
You might be interested to know I avoid anything with HFCS, not because of caloric or sugar content, but rather because I know how it is made, I fear the residues of reagents used and some of the by-products of the process. However, I don't claim any scientific proof or study for my (and wife and kid's) avoidance. I also fear too much caloric intake of any kind, obesity is provably bad.
Watching this silly presentation will not make one an expert, it commits each and every fallacy in logic and is without any scientific reasoning, research, or method. For example, making sweeping claims about the entire population after citing old studies of children and teens or blaming a specific type of sugar when obesity is the only controllable correlation known with diabetes (aging being the primary uncontrolled other). It's great blog fodder, and will make the health and hippy nuts jump with joy, but at its core is a load of sensationalist made-up bullshit.
Type II diabetes is *correlated* with aging (first and foremost) and obesity. To jump to a conclusion about intakes of types of sugar is unsubstantiated nonsense. One of the many fallacies committed by the video is asserting the consequent, just as you are.
No, the presentation lacks any kind of scientific rigour at all; the only thing the presentation shows is that some doctors are poor at science, scientific reasoning, logic (he committed each and every fallacy of logic) and statistics.
Considering the results of the robot surveys found the areas close to the reactors are too radioactive for humans to work for more than 10 hours without getting radiation poisoning, I find their plan a "hoot"
no, because if buried now the various reactors and pools would overheat, destroy concrete under them, and leak massive contamination into water table. To say nothing of the problem of making structures around vessels and pools so weight of burial wouldn't be brought to bear on them. Burying, if done at all, would be much later.
as former construction scheduler at nuke plant, I disagree. We have containment buildings with "bandages" in them, where the concrete was cut to allow steam generator to be removed and replaced. Reactor heads have been found with enough nozzle penetration wear and leaking they will soon need replaced (at something like $150M a pop). Primary coolant pumps are being replaced as end of life. In other words, somewhat over 40 years is about what you get without major rebuilding being needed, they are indeed clunkers needing major expensive maintenance.
nope, m3 includes too many illiquid things. Gold-backed money was always a fractional reserve system, no reason to change that by creating your hypothetical "full gold reserve required" system
to continue, to cover demand deposits, slightly less liquid, that "value" is currently twice your claimed world gold present value. Going to gold (and perhaps silver as well) is very doable
A real elevator would have a counter-balance with the center-of-gravity of whole system slightly past geosynchronous height to maintain tension. Lot of weight to go very high unless starting from asteroid (moving asteroid and putting cable factory with materials inventory there another bagatelle left to student)
self-sufficiency is never stupid, nor is going back to generating real wealth. Our current system of globalisation is putting ever more of us out of work, over 20% if the real numbers of the pre-clinton era system are used (shadowstats.com)
with four times the conductivity of tungsten maybe a resistance check would be take less costly gear.
The "source" for your Ayn Rand trivia in your signature is dubious at best, supposedly social worker was interviewed by founder of Ayn Rand Institute's media department in his "Oral History of Ayn Rand". Maybe he put in juicy gossip to increase his sales?
Iridium is over a thousand dollars an ounce, better stick with osmium at about $400 per ounce. Note your magic alloy of tungsten, osmium or iridium, and some gold won't pass assaying and land you jail time, but will entertain us if you post on facebook or twitter about each event in the adventure.

pfft, adding a few metric types this pile doesn't matter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_drive
subway's bread feels and tastes like old cushion stuffings, regardless of how long it is. I would actually eat there if they had good bread.
there have been horribly expense accidents because of that necessary conversion business, including lost spacecraft.
gotcha! only at "one standard atmosphere" is that true. No clean metric measure for that, either.

It generated many watts of gamma and neutron power
Nope, but the U.S. bias was in assuming the 100W bulb was connected to 110-120VAC mains, instead of the planet's more common 220-240VAC mains

Wrong money base, the world's M0 is only about four trillion dollars, half the gold's worth.

Let me give you a lesson in macroeconomics.
The money needed to cover a GDP is roughly the money supply times the velocity (number of times money changes hands during a year)
Now redo your calculations and get it right this time.
the tinfoil hat sites claimed that significant quantities of tungsten bars plated with gold had shown up in various government bullion vaults.
The more usual levels of counterfeiting seen by jewelers in Hong Kong and elsewhere aren't important.
self-sufficiency is never stupid, nor is going back to generating real wealth. Our current system of globalisation is putting ever more of us out of work, over 20% if the real numbers of the pre-clinton era system are used (shadowstats.com)
no, it is a real step to take away an amount of control of the world's main banking cartel
with four times the conductivity of tungsten maybe a resistance check would be take less costly gear.
