[Why Not?]

Under the normal pressures and temperatures we experience on the Earth’s surface, diamonds are actually thermodynamically unstable, slowly transforming into graphite. The process is far too slow for humans to notice, even in a lifetime. No one will mistake a piece of carbon for a diamond, or a diamond for a piece of graphite.

You're merely repeating what I said about instability. The point is a diamond does not change to carbon. It is carbon. It changes to amorphous carbon or graphite.

I don't recall her name, but is it the female singer from Quebec from the 30's or 40's that was featured in the canadian tv commercials/vignettes from a few years ago, who had an international hit song?

believe you're thinking of La Bolduc..no, she only sang in French

 

[Ceiling Cat]

who was the first Canadian artist to score Top 40 hits on both anglophone and francophone pop charts in Canada?

Michel Pagliaro....................................His uncle was a barber, he use to cut my hair when I lived in Montreal. He charged me extra because I have hair all over my body!!!

I think they fled their distillery due to political instability. When they returned, bats had got inside the building so they used this factoid to demonstrate perseverance.

When Bacardi set up shop in a Santiago de Cuba distillery that they purchased in 1862. In the rafters of the building lived fruit bats, which helped to inspire the Bacardi bat logo.

Carbon, not carbon dioxide. When carbon is compressed under heavy pressure and heat it turns into diamonds, when the heat and pressure is removed it turns back into carbon.
[video]______________________________[/video]

Diamonds are carbon so they cannot turn into it. What changes is the crystal structure. Diamond forms under extremely high pressure and is only meta-stable when brought to atmospheric pressure. There it very slowly changes back to another crystal structure. There are 4 known crystal structures for carbon: amorphous (often called graphite if a mineral or soot if formed by flame), diamond, buckminster fullarenes (bucky balls, a geodesic structure) and graphene (a single atom sheet).

Diamonds are forever!

But we're talking "very slowly" here, and in fact "carbon dioxide" is the right answer. As the diamond turns into graphite (due to the relaxation of pressure) it also oxidizes -- assuming this takes place in the open air. So you're both wrong.

Graphite, coal, etc, oxidize to carbon dioxide, over a long period, unless under zero-oxygen conditions (e.g deep underground).

Even though N. Korea has 78 submarines, they in no way have the same firepower or capabilities of the American, Russian, or Chinese submarine fleets. The N. Korean submarine fleet is classified as a brown water fleet by NATO. The N Korean sub fleet patrols within 50 miles of each coast and are not even capable of supporting the fleet on the other coast.

Then your question should have read, "Which country has the most submarines having the same firepower or capabilities of the American, Russian, or Chinese submarine fleets?"
