Yes, the pulp fiction books of the 30's and 40's showed swarms of flying cars - one in every wider garage. LOL, planes are always in motion. and can not park and idle like a car. Many other reasons, like air traffic control, kille

Religiously unaffiliated means they do not attend a church at all. A lot of people who are asked what their affiliation is just put whatever their parents were or what they grew up in, even if now fully lapsed. Churches have attendance stat

I will mention the idea then next time I visit the swap shop - maybe in January 2022 and see if it gets any traction. One problem is one meter box will be 1000-1300 pounds, and the university will probably not want to ship cross border to t

Few mines start and go to full production without outside venture cash = you sell shares, lose part of the control, but use their money to ramp up production. It depends on what you want to do. Bootstrapping from a zero start needs after ta

Mining is an area with a very high riskware ratio. 100 years ago, mines were found by surface prospecting. You mind some ore, be it gold, silver, copper, zinc. and you dig a hole and manually remove the ore. You have seen the old movies wit

There is a quote, attributed to Mark Twain and others, which can be adapted to Crypto Currency. A mine is a hole in the ground. The discoverer of it is a natural liar. The hole in the ground and the liar combine and issue shares and trap fo

Yep. The company wasted billions of $$ buying old waste paper - by this method, they bought back shares and then cancelled them. The justification was to increase the share price = foolish. Money that could have designed and built a few sta

There exists a strange statistical effect - if you ask people a large number say they are religious, but if you put a meter on the pews, attendance is in free fall in most of Canada. Quebec, hitherto a staunchly Catholic province, now has o
