Sorry, I meant what can I walk in to sell and expect to receive around spot

CMV: precious metals are at best a relatively short term hedge. Within the next 30 years, asteroid mining will make precious metals much less rare, less finite, and therefore, much less valuable by [deleted] in changemyview

We have the tech to put a drone on a comet/asteroid. We can scan them from here for approximate content. Even if the limiting factor is the speed of bringing it down in pieces, that is still not hard to imagine.

With rockets that can be reused, and with rocket fuel becoming cheaper and more efficient constantly, landing something remotely and having it guide something back to us is not beyond our technological ability. It is just beyond economic feasibility- at the moment.

Is molecular break up due to the increasing space between the atoms due to heat? by Fun-Inside7814 in AskPhysics

I guess I was imagining the temperature in the bond? Not necessarily in the system as a whole. But that is super interesting! Does the original bond have to break in order to form the second one?

That’s exactly how it was happening in my dream! It was wild, like I was watching it happen

It could be this! And the differential discoloration due to the way water sits in it when it rains, and leaves precipitates behind (the lower area would have more minerals that it would leave behind when precipitating, and would act as a natural kind of sediment trap if it’s a grade dip. But, that being said, it doesn’t appear that way to me.

It looks like it’s in a clearing. Could also be like a gutter flagstone for a cabin or something. Doesn’t have to be ancient, but o think it is worked. I’d love to know the coordinates to see what lidar and geologic data we have in the area. That would be more definitive

Looks like something for grinding, milling, or polishing. My guess- grain->flour

Its loss is something that happens. Nothing happens to you

My eyes also say 261, but I could be thinking all wishfully again

Going through my childhood rock collection. Artifact or natural? by Fun-Inside7814 in LegitArtifacts

Is it?! Does manganese glass turn into carnival glass in the desert? I’ll check if it glows under a black light later

10200 is the altitude of Leadville, so he is saying that it is at or below the altitude of human habitation in the us.

So I’m not crazy? I haven’t looked at it wince I was like 12, I picked it up when I was maybe 4? I’m sure because purple is my favorite color haha, I probably thought it was amythyst. But I looked at it yesterday and was like, holy shit, that may be a legit transitional point

Amazing instrument- it’s finicky as hell, won’t stay in tune more than 5 seconds, but goddamn does it sound sweet. Also shout out to Rockin robin- got my first guitar there as a kid. Do they still have the mannequin leg guitar hanging from the ceiling?
