Cunningham's Law - awesome! Thanks for educating me (and everyone else here) :) The reference that's based on is really fascinating too: https://ap.fftc.org.tw/article/2570 https://ap.fftc.org.tw/article/2570 (note the % of wastage chart, ~30% average, unsure how to convert but if we wasted none of that (which may not be achievable even during hypothetical 'blockade', but hey) by how much would self-sufficiency raise is interesting.) BTW, nix23 -- this I consider one of your greatest hits: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24576985 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24576985 LOL!

  Thank you very much, honored that you like my "hit" but please tell me where the Taiwanese Silicate producers are? But maybe you did not understood the reference... And even when you don't waste anything it's 68% right? That's still not 100%, and without fishing-boats (blockage remember?)...well i leave that to you.

    Oh, nix23--you took me wrong, I was actually giving you a compliment!!! Everything I said was with love...I see you took it the other way tho. :)

      I don't need love, i need critique...hell is that the internet or what? Stop try to change the pure and clean nature of it.
