Not only is that a Mercedes star (and not flipped 180 degrees) it's not a peace sign; a piece sign would have an additional 'leg'.
I wondered that too, and looked it up. It appears that increasing the temperature does indeed make chlorine more likely to come out of solution, and boiling water is a method of removing chlorine from water. It not so simple as bringing it to a boil though - this paper (http://hbd.org/ajdelange/Brew…) found that the…
At first I said "WTF" because boiling water doesn't remove impurities; if anything it concentrates them. So I went and read the actual article, and it turns out the boiling is to remove dissolved air from the water. Which makes a lot more sense. Maybe read the article you're linking to next time a bit more carefully?
Well, that says why you want /a/ job, but not why you want /this/ job. In other words, you're saying you don't care where you work as long as you get work. While there's no shame in that (and I suppose you can even spin it in a I'll-do-any-job sort of way) it probably won't make you as appealing as another candidate…
The cheapness of HFCS definitely plays into it, but don't forget one of the big reasons food manufacturers turned to so much sugar in the first place - because the whole (and as it turns out, completely misguided) drumbeat against fat and consumer demand for fat-free foods. Sugar was the solution to make foods taste…
High sugar tariffs exist to protect domestic sugar producers from international competition. Farm subsidies are a funny thing. Both the corn and sugar industries are subsidized, but in very different way; corn is provided incentives that result in greater production and therefore lower prices (that are still…
Interestingly, however, my sources agreed that Molyneux isn't some whip-cracking, spittle-shouting dictator. They said he was very kind, with an almost Steve-Jobs-like aura about him. He was frequently sincere, excited, cradling new ideas like a thrilled parent. But he was also flighty—prone to losing interest in one…
I'm not sure I share your enthusiasm of drawers (for me they tend to accumulate clutter quickly until they're effectively useless,) but couldn't you just add drawers to an otherwise drawer-less desk?

Even if you could buy them from china for $500, freight is going to cost a couple grand (plus or minus depending on how close to a major port you live, sea freight is actually pretty cheap, it's the trucking from where it hits land that kills you.)
People do go slower, but often don't realize just how slow they need to go in really bad conditions. They may well have been going around 60 km/h - but if it's very slippery and visibility is really poor, 60 km/h is still too fast.
