It’s not dumb, it’s right on the money. What I have a hard time with is not letting conspiracy mind tell me it’s deliberate.

It’s also just a really hateful and gross word if you aren’t talking about a cigarette in Britain.

Yea but it’s word that’s really soaked in hate. It’s not like removed imo, which isn’t exactly in good taste, but doesn’t come with the harm that the F slur does. I mean removed has a scientific usage, F slur is has no polite use besides asking for a cigarette in the UK, where they have their own slurs for homosexual men. It’s kinda like you just encouraged him to use the N word…

It feels like stat shouldn’t be a senior level elective in HS but should be a freshman/sophomore level requirement, with a heavy focus on how statistics are wildly abused in what amounts to propaganda.

Ya hear that Jim, Bears!

Considering pulling my retirement to prevent being a part of this, plus my business could use the cash real bad right now.

But think of the prices! Imagine if supply weren’t artificially detached from demand, thus driving down commodities prices and CRASHING THE ECONOMY!?!?! And by economy I obviously mean my own profit margin.

There are a bunch of these if you search the tagline

Seriously these things are huge

Imagine destroying that because it’s useful. Like cutting down a redwood

Until they shart shooting. I don’t know a single person in Maine that wants Plumbago mined

Blowing like the breeze

Stay the fuck off Plumbago thanks, Maine doesn’t want it’s mountain tops chopped off like fucking West Virginia. I love that since we have a state ban on metal extraction, and even though the lithium is bound as a silicate mineral (spudomeme, sp) it’s technically a metal and that’s prevented it’s extraction so far.

Also they are the largest lithium crystals found, I believe, anywhere. We’re talking 30ft long tree trunk sized crystals embedded in matrix, some of which have been exposed and are insanely cool to look at. The site is on private land but it’s not terribly difficult to get in contact with folks who have permission up there. Maine has a very long history of mineral extraction, and some of the richest gem deposits in North America, but the size of this locality and the type of mining proposed would be a massive problem for a relatively pristine area of Northern Mixed Hardwood and Conifer forest, not to mention the very small towns in the area that would be entirely transformed in the process.

Wow, thanks for the answer. GIS was my next guess lol. Sounds like a pretty interesting job, lots of variety. Mind sharing what you have a degree in?

They put up a notice, it’s not our fault you haven’t been by the regional office

What is a geographer? Seems like a super broad category. Are you a cartographer? Surveyor? Or do you just like, talk about mountains and the shape of the coast line?

It’s 42

Plenty of the shit generators drop a watermark on if you don’t pay

How many gallons of water did that cost?

I’d read it

Yea but they were playing cricket with the Galaxy
