@Jezibaba: ~550mn tons of slag for 30mn ounces of gold is not worth that amount of short- and long-term destruction.
@thedisasterautist But gold, amirite?
@Jezibaba: Gold, yes, though I've never heard of amirite? Is that like pyrite? :P
@jasod @thedisasterautist not if I have a fork.
@Jezibaba @thedisasterautist It has to be pyrite because if it is noticed there is no py-left?
