The Tajik-Afghan crude oil zone was discovered in 1958 with a reserve of around 946 million barrels of crude oil and 8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The worth of Afghan-Tajik oil and gas zone is estimated at $123 billion.

Rare earths aren't exactly rare or anything. They're more annoying to isolate and purify than find.

If Moore wins the runoff, that's a potentially doable seat for Dems to collect in 2018. Although I know nothing about the Dem candidate.

They were always there, they just became emboldened because a racist shitbag ran for office and got elected because people are dumb. They took that as acceptance only to find out yeah, people are dumb, but dumb people still know Nazis are shitbags. So now they're hiding again just under the surface because no, the world still does not accept their poo poo

Yeah, the term "rare" came from the fact that the first lump of the mineral they came from was unusual. It was a "rare earth" because it was hard to find bits of it at the particular mine in Ytterby, Sweden where Arrhenius was searching. The so-called rare earth ended up yielding six or eight elements altogether.

Once they knew what they were looking for, the mineral turned out to be not all that hard to find in the right geological formation.

To answer the lunatic hot dog rambling question from earlier, some light googling reveals that one of the fucktards who got ID'd at charlottesville got fired from his job at a berkley hot dog shop.

Either that or when caught out to make an explanation for himself he just started rambling.

I work in the service industry and I deal with at least one person every day who makes so little sense in any context they should probably not be caring for themselves and yet they have things like a job, a family, and a car. It may not be any more complex than, 'dude's crazy,'

Here's the Dem candidate

http://dougjonesforsenate.com/

I mean, a Democrat is not going to win a statewide election in Alabama, but if there's any Democrat who can, it's probably someone like him.
Also the special election is in December 2017, not 2018.

I'm not surprised all these Nazis are having a hard time realizing that their actions have consquences. Not just them being dumb and only hanging out in echo chambers, but by embracing White Supremacy you reject any and all personal responsibility. Everything is someone elses fault. Can't get a job? drat immigrants! Didn't get into college? Affirmative action! Can't get a girlfriend? Feminists! You owe money? Joooooooooooooooooos!

Nothing is your fault, everything is someone elses.

Crossposting from Negrotown

Think it’s hard for the white working class in rural America? Try being a person of color.

quote:

Since Trump’s election, there has been ample coverage of white people—the rise of white nationalism, the white working class that makes up Trump’s core constituency, the 53 percent of white women who voted him into office. Much less has been written about the people of color who live and work amid the rising tide of white nationalism in rural red states.

...

Madyson Turner: “With the way it’s going now, I’m actually scared that I won’t make it.”

I remember high-school Madyson Turner as a vibrant young black woman with a sense of humor that could dissipate tension in any room. (Turner’s name has been changed here to protect her privacy.) But when we meet up in a Subway sandwich shop in Alamo, there’s a new weight to her shoulders, and her infectious laugh doesn’t come quite so easily.

“I wake up, and I never know, am I gonna get called the ‘n word’ today? Am I gonna have to defend my education?”

The weirdest thing to me about that story is that some easily fireable person working at a hot dog shop (so probably not the owner or manager, so probably not a high paying job) took the time off and swallowed the expense to fly across the loving country just to visibly and loudly be a shitstain.

All right, fair point. I was trying to say we're more risk as a nation because the ones who won't say they're Nazis get a free pass in a lot of people's eyes and are allowed to tell their bullshit undeterred, but I forgot about lynching and the KKK so I'll shut up.

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.

quote:

Turner’s mom, who cleans houses in town for a living, went to work a couple of days after that, and her employer, an older white woman, brought up the results of the recent election. The two had talked politics before—Turner’s mom is a Democrat, and her employer is a Republican. “Well, you might as well come and live with me now,” the employer said. “You gonna be mine eventually.”

...

Last year before the election, a young woman Turner described as one of her best friends casually mentioned she hoped for a Trump victory so that he might “do away with some of these African American people.” She quickly clarified that she wasn’t referring to Turner’s “type,” but when Turner sharply asked her what she meant, she couldn’t answer. Another friend assured her that it would be okay if Trump won the election because she would convince her parents to purchase Turner’s family as their new slaves. In a place where a few large plantation-style houses remain scattered through the county, the “joke” feels a lot like a threat.
