Yes yes yes. This is my favourite feature by far. If I notice something cool whilst at work I can send to my Home desktop, and vice versa. when at home and see something that would be useful at work send it there. Awesome feature.

When i was working on a project in Tunisia, i saw lots of the locals walking around in the morning with little sprigs of rosemary (which grows everywhere there) and taking sniffs of it as they commuted. When I asked about it, they mentioned

As an aside. I absolutely hate sites that only send a partial RSS feed, showing only the first paragraph or what have you. I know the logic, entice me enough to click through, serve ads etc. but 90% of the time I won't, unless I am rea

As an Aussie smoker with friends who also smoke, the packaging makes absolutely no difference to us. It was an oddity when it happened, everyone spent time comparing which photos were the most disgusting and now its just background. Also pe

I work in Indonesia a lot and that data makes sense. Every man I know smokes. That's not an exaggeration. It's ridiculously cheap, and with incredibly low income for most of the population, its the only vice that's allowed fo

Have worked in Indonesia for the past decade, various mine sites, various islands. Never heard of this before. I know different cities had dialects/words but never had an issue speaking/listening bahasa with the locals.

Exactly, we are seeing this with lithium too. Papers I have read show its extremely recyclable with potential high yields at scale so don't be scared... unless you're a junior lithium miner!

Mining guy. Don’t be scared there is plenty of cobalt. HPAL tech has come a long way and plenty of laterite Ni-Co around the place. Lots of it close to the surface too. I’m working on with a couple of companies already reviewing old drill c

Brine sources are massive, cheaper sources, but take years to come online. The problem was there were about 3-4 major players in Lithium (it was actually a side product for them) and they didn't see the demand rising as quickly as it

Correct. Short term, hard-rock sources will save the day. Long-term, brine sources will come online from South America. Either way, lithium shortage is mostly FUD.

Biggest source by far is the DRC, but there are plenty of other sources. The problem is they are difficult to process and beneficiation is costly. But with rising prices, this should become less of an issue.

I have been taking 5000IU Vitamin D for the past 7 years, with a little more over the winter months. It's stupidly cheap, I get 360 5000IU capsules for $13, so it has cost me less than $100 over that period. Anecdotally, it was a game

There are large tungsten deposits outside of China. The issue is, China has such a monopoly it controls the price. I have been apart of at least three Tungsten Mine pre-feasibility studies. All they need to do is ramp up production, and the

Some more context. South Australia went "all green" shutting down all their coal plants and betting big on wind and solar. However due to the peak issues etc. they now buy a lot of their power from the eastern states. Victoria use
