A video i found on you tube last year showed that there are metals to be recycled out of road dust from exhaust and catalytic emissions. The guy doing it swept up a couple of 10kg buckets (like our trusty bunnings pail). processed it with chemicals in his lab and ended up extracting a ball of platinum ( i think) and a few others. It was small, but on a scale up, made his "paydirt" richer than the natural deposits when mined. I assume the costs of a plant to process this is high when scaled up. Processing everything at our waste facility's would have a higher yield if we did it properly. There is no reason, copper, aluminium and steel and other common metals should just end up in the ground. A decent automated waste centre like some in Europe where the waste is on a conveyer, ground up, separated by a few processes, then the final waste product is burnt for fuel to run the plant. Not cheap to set up, but with the amount of stuff we throw out it would make a huge dent in land fill and recycling. we already ship rubbish between local government areas, Coffs pays for theirs to go to Tamworth etc. in the right places they would work.

Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

Woolworths and co need to pull their heads in. Every time I walk in there things are up by $1, last week Nudie OJ was on special at $8.50, it’s normal price before. I only bought it when it was $6.50 on sale. i like real ok with bacon and eggs on the weekend as I don’t get a crook guts after if I have the OJ, I assume the acid in citrus combats the fattyness of the bacon. every other item is the same. They are real crooks with their here to help adds. Only their bottom line is getting help. They know we have to eat, other stuff is just ancillary. -

I found out my fitness has drastically dropped when in NZ early in the month. I went up mount Manganui with my uncle who is 18 years my senior. We picked the 850m path to climb 283m high. I need more time for exercise. The climb was worth it with spectacular views. Enjoy your trip. -

Well known personalities who have passed away recently (Renamed)
ClintonB replied to onetrack's topic in General Discussion
Heard on radio today that Roberta Flack passed away aged 88, been suffering health issues for a long time. -
After listening to yank’s conversation on a cruise for the last fortnight, I have learnt they still love the orange f@#kwit to death, have no idea what happens in Australia other than kangaroos, big knives and a bridge with a funny looking building near it. At a dinner table conversation one night someone asked what do you guys hear about Australian politics after a trump conversation was shut down. Answer was nothing. They heard about the big fires a few years ago, but other than that they get no news about us. saddest thing about this is their f#$kup elected causes us no end of pain, and they couldn’t give a flying f#$k.

Isn’t it strange to think we have become so dependent on something we can live quite well without, as we did up until the late 1990’s. telstra created a monster that snuck up on us, made us NEED it, spending up to a couple of hundred dollars a month on. It started with text at .25 cent for a sentence or more, then long text, all these LOL and ROTFLMAO etc, then forums. i know it lets us all get to know each other on platforms like this when we might not have connected in the real world, which is a good thing. But do you ever wonder what you could do with all the money spent on phones, tablets and the internet could have done for you if it didn’t exist. it would probably buy a good little aeroplane, car or boat to enjoy outside. Tik tok, instagram and all these other platforms have created a glut of people who make money of what would basically be sh#t all in the real world, and a lot of it makes people feel more insecure about themselves or like they are missing out on something. I would like to see them have to work for a living like the rest of us “oldies” had to, starting at the bottom and working up the chain. Just an interesting thought that popped into my head after the reading the discussion prior. sorry for drift in advance.
