"Just to meet business-as-usual trends, 115% more copper must be mined in the next 30 years than has been mined historically until now," the study said.
Theyโll start mining landfill for metals and probably plastic soon enough. Air it out, wash it, get the metal and plastic, donโt worry about that other in the air/water, thatโs a future poor personโs problem.
So Iโm gonna share a story. In this story Iโm a fucking idiot. But I hope that it serves as a warning to someone so they can learn from my dumb mistakes. So I was going out to see some mates the other day in a big state forest near Melbourne....

No one happens to have a resin 3d printer? I canโt get replies from any of the facebook ads for it. Iโm looking to print a DnD mini, pro places seem to want $50+ for it, I can get it posted from hero forge for that, and I donโt want to spend that much.
