  2. IT has no value. on Suggestions for Functional Jewelry? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Youll be lucky to get 1/10 of what you paid for it. GOld jewelery alwasy sells at a little bit above melt value, and noone buys diamonds for anywhere close to what they sell them for. This has been repeately documented, but hasnt sunk into the brains of the populaion yet. Want resale value? Buy gold, silver bars and coins.

  9. Carbonic acid? on New NASA Maps Show A Bad Day On Earth · · Score: 1

    I know that when the himalays first poped up, that much raw limestone being eroded took some co2 out of the air when the acid in rainwater ate it away. OCuld that much limestone added tot eh water do the same thing over a large area? SO not just nuclear winter, but the climate gasses permanetly changed?

  10. Aluminum!!! on Swedes Say Recycling Wastes Time And Money · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Aluminum is hideoulsy energy intensive to purify, but once its refined, its dirt cheap to remelt. ALuminum recycling is one of the few things i believe in.

    THey had 911 come up in a pick 3 a few days after it happened, and one time a planes flight number came up. ALthough over the course of the year they come out way the hell ahead.

    ANd how morbid do you have to be to play the numbers of a downed plane.

  22. Actually thy have changed. on Taiwan Forces MS To Cut Prices, Unbundle Software · · Score: 1

    Just enough so its impossible to open newer documents on an older system, and to make sure that anything you learned how to do is useless on the new verson. Im not even talking programming here, people, were talking pulldown menus and basic functions that have been "improved" to the point that long time users cant get it to work.

  25. For one thing on Psychologist Consoles Data Loss Victims · · Score: 1

    Talking out of my ass here, but we also dont have the same support strcutures you had 50-100 years ago. Most of my friends live away from family, so when somehting emotional happens, theyre left without much of a support structure.
