What the fuck is this from? I know this quote; the unflipped one

I find mining very interesting, especially the reclamation aspect. There are tons of issues to get things back to chemically and physically stable.

The mine shown here is the Ekati Mine in NWT Canada. It’s set to close in 2029. All mines must have a plan for closure, and these plans, at least in NWT are public.

Here is the one for Ekati. https://registry.mvlwb.ca/Documents/W2020L2-0004/Ekati - CRP Version 3.1 - Part 1 - Aug 15_23.pdf

Closure plans are super long: the summary text is often 200 to 300 pages, and with the associated appendices are like 1-3k pages in length and are highly technical

Fortunately, Section 1 (page 49) has a plain language summary of the closure plan. Here you can find a summary of major closure strategies for things like pits and waste rock dumps

These plans get more and more certain as they revise them and approach the end of operations.

Fill your boots! There is some cool stuff in the closure plan if you’re inclined to learn more!

Really cool idea, and comment. I think it would reduce money tied up, but still, would require significant investment to build and maintain

The fish one is making me laugh

Sshh. That sounds like socialism, you fucking commie.

Yoink

Dang. Good idea. I just need to remember to do that

My brain works a lot like this, too. I’m pretty sure I’ve got ADHD, but I was never diagnosed. Things also improved markedly when I started taking anxiety meds. I still struggle a bit, but it’s much less debilitating now that I don’t have a bunch of intrusive thoughts and other anxieties feeding it.

It’s now actually somewhat helpful because I’ve got it mostly under control, and allows me to connect really unrelated thoughts and evaluate them without going all the way down the rabbit hole.

Just don’t ask me to put the garbage bag in the garbage can after I take it out lol

Hey, I’m a man of culture

I lose one every time your mom comes over. She’s a real knob gobbler

While this is there reference you’re making, this song is outstanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnIvZ_RwXK0

This tastes like grandma’s ashtray!

I low key wanted to order stickers while he was still in power that read "I’d fuck Trudeau’ and slap them over top of the fuck Trudeau ones

Sir, did you think they were raging against the washing machine?

They are out there.

‘But trump is a member of the American population and therefore I have responsibility to him! He also just happens to be the Future POTUS and my boss! No corruption here! Checkmate Trans-Athiests!’

You’re probably right, and I tried to acknowledge that my thinking was flawed by the donning of the tinfoil hat. You make some great points; i just abhor coincide, and pick at it like a dried scab. This sometimes leads me to the ‘put everything in this square hole’ approach (cue nerdy girl melting down).

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle: Russians meddling (and others) a bit when opportunities arise, because a right wing or destabilized west benefits them, with fascist groups emboldened as a result. There’s probably more to it and this is a ‘4 am phone check response’ and I’m going back to bed.

When you only get one shot you want to make it count I guess

dons tinfoil hat

I think it’s all Russian propaganda hard at work. It just seems too systematic. You can almost predict what the next talking point/rhetoric is going to be. I’ve had several occasions where I’ve seen a comment online that really seems out there or needlessly inflammatory, and then watched that comment slowly get adopted and spread to the right, only to become the drum they bang for the next 6 months. It also all seemed to start 2015ish, which somewhat lines up with the Crimean invasion.
