Xoon Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 On 2/15/2019 at 5:39 PM, Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect said: @Xoon Report? In a ground-survey it was found huge amounts of pure copper in the Nussir-area, in Repparfjord. The Norwegian government gave the green light to start mining the vein. This was disliked by the local Sami who claim they lost land for their reindeer, and of course the usual backlash from environmentalists. Their issue is the mining waste. A dumping are will be constructed, as far as I am aware, they are filling in a portion so isolate it from the rest of the fjord. It takes up roughly 15% of the area. Everything in this area will die, but it is estimated that 10 years after the mining is done, the local fauna will returned to normal levels. It has also been taken special measures to not impact the local reindeer population. So yes, they are dumping mining waste into the fjord, but no, it is not into the open sea, but a purpose built dumping area. Yes the local fauna will die, but it is estimated that it will return. It is unknown weather it will impact the reindeer population, but most point to not. Repparfjord is located in the most Northern part of Norway. Almost all fish produced in Norway is produced in fisheries, which are located in the middle/center parts of the country. So it would not impact the fishing industry. The Sami only live as reindeer herders as a way to maintain traditions, and are granted special rights because of their status. They tend to be very overprotective of their rights, which is why they backlashed. Of course, this was picked up by the biggest newspaper in Norway, and made into a rage-bait hit piece. A lot of lies and provocation to fire up the environmentalists in the capital. For now, I would hire some biologists to analyse the area and impact of mining to get a extended of the risk. It probably has already been done by the government, but it has not gone mainstream. But to be honest, Northern Norway is very poor(the counties, not the populace), with a shrinking population, they want this badly.

Young, female, obese, “progressive” far left winger with colored hair. B. Old, female, probably man hating, far left spinster. C. Your pasty beta male trying to look “progressive” in the hopes he will get laid. D. And finally, a random minority so the rest of the shithead protesters can say their protest is “diverse”, or something equally retarded. Anyway, that mining operation sounds pretty normal: you gotta put the waste product somewhere, no matter what you’re mining, and since copper is in pretty high demand, I think this would be a good operation, so long as the toxic stuff stays where it’s suppose to.

I don't know about you, but I love spending my Tuesday nights walking around in biblically adverse weather looking for minorities to commit hate crimes upon. See, this is what you get when you don't hire American labor! Those hired thugs just rolled over and squealed on him in a heart beat. Good help is hard to find these days.

Donward Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 RIP my MySpace account. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/mar/18/myspace-loses-all-content-uploaded-before-2016 Some have questioned how the embattled company, which was purchased by Time Inc in 2016, could make such a blunder. “I’m deeply sceptical this was an accident,” wrote the web expert Andy Baio. “Flagrant incompetence may be bad PR, but it still sounds better than, ‘We can’t be bothered with the effort and cost of migrating and hosting 50m old MP3s.’” Myspace initially claimed the deletion was a temporary error, with customer support staff telling one user: “I have been informed the issue will be fixed.” But by July last year it was publicly acknowledging that no such fix was forthcoming.

LoooSeR Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Quote ASTANA, March 23 - RIA News. The new president of Kazakhstan, Kasym-Zhomart Tokayev, signed a decree on renaming the capital. This was reported by the press service of the head of state. Astana officially renamed to Nur-Sultan. The first president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, announced on March 19 that he was retiring. He transferred the powers to Tokayev as the Speaker of the Senate of Parliament - he will act as head of state until the next elections scheduled for 2020. The next day, Tokayev took the oath and made a proposal to rename the capital Nur-Sultan, and the deputies approved the relevant amendments to the constitution. Let's rename Kazakhstan to Nursultanstan as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
