Peak copper is actually a much more important concern than any of this stuff. Copper is the only material that's both common, conductive and magnetic. When copper peaks- which is very soon- almost all electronics and electrical generators will become increasingly difficult to manufacture. I'll move my estimate back from 2045 to 2025.



i didn't know copper was magnetic so i looked it up

You do not want a magnet inside your body, so never suck on a pipe that has a magnet in it.



thanks, bbc

Its magnetic enough to be used in an electric generator.

Electric generators are essentially very large quantities of copper wire spinning around inside very large magnets, at very high speeds.



This is a case where magnets dont work without copper.

FFX-2 is the best implementation of a class system in FF and certainly one of the top three FF games in existence.

Progress.

Well, I don't know what else to post. Most of the overt leftards like Crow, BHPN, Krinkle, Jools, and SariBari have mellowed out or left. As this forum becomes less and less political and my courseload becomes more and more, it'll probably get to the point where I'll have to stop posting entirely.

But I'll miss the irritation I caused.

But you don't act like it, you just run away when these subjects come up.

One thing I was considering talking about is the left's reactive anti-Americanism. Lets take the Gulf War as an example. Sure you can argue it was a bad precedent that led to the Iraq War, but if you support Sadaam's invasion you're still an airhead and its a good thing someone kicked him out.

Ilmidge, why not? You have a really easy copout. You can point out that the US told Iraq to invade Kuwait and the Gulf War was really just correcting its mistake.

Since you're not going to respond, I'm just going to point out that that's still a logical rabbithole. That argument effectively admits that the threat of US intervention was the only thing preventing Iraq from invading in the first place.

Hopefully once I leave Rhizzone will go back to being a leftist circlejerk so I can concern troll it. Maybe I'll have more self control next time.

The irony of renewables is that they're taking up rare earths for hippie bullshit thats inefficient and doesn't work at the expense of things that actually could last a little longer, like nuclear.
