The deposits formed 380 million years ago when Africa collided with North America.

yea

Quick google search shows that China has its own Quartz mines, so I’m not sure if those are unsuitable for certain semiconductors or if the use of “world” here just means international-community-1

        Yeah well I did have countless people tell me when I was younger that I was over blowing the effects of climate change. Also one of our politicians did just insist that we wouldn’t stop driving cars because we are a car driving country. So I’m gonna lol as this country collapses because I’ve spent 16 years here and was treated like a lunatic when I spoke about stuff like this.

        The facility is okay. The roads are gone. I think it’s behind used as a distribution and evac site currently.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
