Probably gets it from the first thing it hits. A helium nucleus would suck up electrons very readily. Possibly this is what makes alpha particles dangerous,

Right on, and the originating atom gives off beta particles to lose its excess electrons after its nucleus is reduced, right? I'm just wondering if they go to the new helium nucleus or if they just fly off into the distance.

Almost certain the alpha particle picks up the electrons in the process of interacting with the environment. They are known for ionizing the air, which would entail the alpha particle stripping some electrons from air molecules, and in the process it would become a regular helium atom.

I'm going to refer to the Southern Cross as the butthurt banner, that term can be effectively used for both sides of this "debate".

You do realize that helium is not destroyed when it is put in a balloon and goes back into the atmosphere from which we can extract it again, right?
we dont extract helium from the air, it's extracted via decomposition of rocks or from natual gas wells, it's about 10,000c more expensive to pull it from the air
The only source of helium on earth is from the decay of radioactive elements. Because it is much lighter than oxygen and nitrogen, helium gas that makes it to the surface and is not contained floats to the top of the atmosphere and is blown off into space by solar wind. There is almost no free helium in the atmosphere. Probably thinking of Argon.
Because helium is a non reactive element, it cannot be fixed as part of a compound that is more earthbound - hydrogen is less dense than helium but because it readily forms compounds like water, we don't lose much to space.
helium is also extracted from natural gas

yeah, the post office is a kick back job. Go in to work at the same place everyday. Do the same tasks everyday. No brainwork, no hard labor. The pay is good, the benefits are outstanding. You get a pension. its difficult to be terminated. sounds pretty good to me.

That is not a racial epithet. Did you not know that when you take hillary you must take billy with her? Perhaps I should have made it clearer. When bill was in office hill did the rain making. When hill is in office bill does the job shaking down money for payoffs which go to the fake non profit that they loot for their own purposes. Hill-billy joined at the waist.

I thought surely anyone would get a clue by the hyphen in the middle hill-billy and certainly after it was explained. But no. Since you didn't understand others probably will not either so I will use something easier to understand in the future. Happy now?

the rules in the pub are "absolutely no racism", should that only apply to non whites or should it apply to all people equally?
