Poor people can sometimes get things but need money Oh, they're up on the same material and style as the "We buy homes for cash" signs all over town, which are some shitbags turning everything into AirBnBs, so I assumed this was some lovely stuff too.

A fusion force summoned from the ways of the artist, the magician, the ninja, and the private investigator, Tactical Magic is an amalgam of disparate arts invoked for the purpose of actively addressing Power on individual, communal, and transnational fronts. At the CTM we are committed to achieving the Great Work of Tactical Magic through community-based projects, daily interdiction, and the activation of latent energies toward positive social transformation. I bet theres a better magic the gathering museum.

I mean it is definitely predatory and I'm sure some people who really need those strips still sell them (or their Grandma's) because they feel they need cash more

I don't know what scam they're running, but I know it's a yeah I seen these, ones wanting to buy gold, ones wanting to buy houses regardless of condition, ones wanting to buy computer parts of any kind or age telling you, one day "garbage miner" will be a real job where people go to reclaim various metals and stuff from dumps e: beat on the house one. probably this is a pretty large group. It makes sense because the bigger you are the more easily you can deal with weird fluctuations in the platinum content of your pay-by-the-pound computer scrap e2: now that i think about it I've seen ones wanting to buy just straight insulin and hosed up poo poo like that too

“garbage miner” was a job in the Victorian era and the advent of public trash cans was criticized for depriving the garbage miners of their livelihoods

London used to have a bunch of professional sewer scavengers who would walk through the Byzantine labyrinth of the city’s sewer tunnels and underground rivers in waders, looking for valuable stuff people had intentionally or otherwise dropped down the toilet

some testing indicates that road grit and dust next to well travelled highways contains as much or more platinum that literal platinum ore. All the extremely tiny particles blasting off 400000 catalytic converters every day add up.

sewer scavenger was actually not at all a bad living by working-class standards of the time, you could expect to make the equivalent of about $50 a day.

'Ghost ship' in Myanmar: Navy finds answers quote:Myanmar officials investigating a "ghost ship" found mysteriously drifting near the Yangon region this week have found the answer to its fate. To be fair, the decision between cutting it loose and maybe being sunk by a monsoonal storm isn't much of a decision at all. The images from those shipbreaking yards should be enough to stoke the flames of revolution in all but the most jaded of populations. So a hardy  arises from late-capitalism humanity.

scavengers worked at night in the around 1000 miles of London sewer tunnels big enough for a person to fit through, though many of those were 3’9” tall. dangers included tunnel collapse, gas explosions, changing tides, and swarms of rats.

Isaac posted:Sounds like ore isnt all its cracked up to be From my quick googling, an iPhone 6 has 0.034 grams of gold in it. It weighs 129 grams, which equals 0.000263 grams of gold per gram of phone. Multiply that by a million to get parts per million, which is equal to grams/ton (which is how you measure a gold deposit) and you get 263.6, rounded off. The richest gold deposit I know of is the Fire Creek mine in Nevada, which has a grade of 44~ g/t, about a sixth as rich as your iPhone. The largest gold mine in the world is the Pebble Mine in Alaska, which is working with a grade of 0.31g/t, or about 850 times poorer grade compared to your iPhone. Then again, you're not processing the more than ten billion tons of ore that they will have sifted by the time Pebble is played out. In conclusion, gold grades are a land of contrasts. -

Lots of thing that have refined metals as a component will contain more of that metal than the ore. That's kinda the whole point of refining it.

You can 'work from home' a state away or at a hotel or anywhere. Without losing vacation, if applicable.  sounds like what I would to for people working for me expecting them to send an email or 2 for "proof".

No going to lie, I’ve always loved the work from home option... it’s sort of like between a regular work day, and a PTO day. I’m technically working, but don’t really have to deal with anyone in the office. People pretty much just forget about me when I work from home so I get bothered a lot less. I get to save my PTO for when I actually want to use it. Get to stay in my pajamas all day. I worked from home today. I literally just wanted an extra hour of sleep, so I just texted my boss and went back to bed. Worked all day from my couch devoting more effort to watching Highlander than answering emails.
