I called John Kerry’s office once to find out more about what was publically known information. I asked the staffer three times about it. And she dodged my question every time. The third time she then started reading a script really fast to get rid of me. And I thought, how much do you get paid to do this?

Kucinich’s office does essentially the same thing. You call about what’s a publically known subject to find out what he thinks about it.

They won’t answer you. Why not? Because it’s our policy to never comment on current bills. But your boss wrote the bill! How can you NOT comment on something that you boss wrote?
That’s our policy.

And Congress wonders why everyone hates them. Stacy, does the French Parliament do this?

Granted, you look at Rhodium now, and it sure ain’t the same as it was (currently trading around $2300)

Have you test any gold coin you may own, purchased at ridiculous prices, for fraud?

Decay rate…

The daughter nuclide of a decay event may also be unstable (radioactive). In this case, it will also decay, producing radiation. The resulting second daughter nuclide may also be radioactive. This can lead to a sequence of several decay events. Eventually a stable nuclide is produced. This is called a decay chain.
An example is the natural decay chain of 238U which is as follows:
decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 4.5 billion years to thorium-234
which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 24 days to protactinium-234
which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 1.2 minutes to uranium-234
which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 240 thousand years to thorium-230
which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 77 thousand years to radium-226
which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 1.6 thousand years to radon-222
which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 3.8 days to polonium-218
which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 3.1 minutes to lead-214
which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 27 minutes to bismuth-214
which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 20 minutes to polonium-214
which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 160 microseconds to lead-210
which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 22 years to bismuth-210
which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 5 days to polonium-210
which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 140 days to lead-206, which is a stable nuclide.
Some radionuclides may have several different paths of decay. For example, approximately 36% of bismuth-212 decays, through alpha-emission, to thallium-208 while approximately 64% of bismuth-212 decays, through beta-emission, to polonium-212. Both the thallium-208 and the polonium-212 are radioactive daughter products of bismuth-212, and both decay directly to stable lead-208.

Yes. Good thought.
