    There's already more than enough above ground gutter to outlast the human race. RGDS!

    Pretty eye-opening. If I'm reading it correctly, we mined

    24,000 metric tons of silver
    3,000 metric tons of gold
    but just 380 metric tons of platinum group metals. That's platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, and ruthenium--combined.

    The beauty of metric is that it's all base 10: A metric ton is just 1,000 kilograms or about 2200 pounds.

    We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.

    Not when 8,000 tons a year are consumed.
