  1. Re:What about on Searching For Alternatives To China's Rare Earth Monopoly · · Score: 1

    I only wonder what lays yet undiscovered in the Antarctic, there is no telling what sort of things can be found there.

    Geologist William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to Antarctica. On a previous expedition there, a party of scholars from Miskatonic University, led by Dyer, discovered fantastic and horrific ruins and a dangerous secret beyond a range of mountains taller than the Himalayas. They found the remains of fourteen ancient life forms, completely unknown to science and unidentifiable as either plants or animals, after discovering an underground cave while boring for ice cores. Six of the specimens are badly damaged, the others uncannily pristine. Their highly-evolved features are problematic: their stratum location puts them at a point on the geologic time scale much too early for such features to have naturally evolved yet. Because of their resemblance to creatures of myth mentioned in the Necronomicon, they are dubbed the "Elder Things" moar

    ... See where this is going ...

    Precisely. U.S. was the the global leader in rare earth metals production in the late 1980s.

    Hey we moved on.. now we export nice clean things like Hollywood movies and heavy metal eh music... Digging in the dirt is so hard on the nails and only Mexicans wanna do that sort of work.

    This sounds like a wonderful new weapon to develop. Human Zombies that explode spreading their Zombiefing spores. That should solve our terrorist problems rather quickly. Guess I need to stock up on anti-fungi's down in the bunker.

    I don't think XOR is the appropriate logic operator. cash is not mutually exclusive from hookers and dope as a bribe.

    True but when you mix the two something odd happens and all of the money gets overwritten with blow somewhere in the FIFO buffer...
