"In the summer of 1935, C.J. "Johnny" Baker and H. Muir staked the original 21 "Giant" claims for Bear Exploration Company. The claims were on Great Slave Lake's Back Bay and along what is now the historic Ingraham Trail.

By 1937, Yellowknife Gold Mines Ltd. acquired Burwash's assets. From these, the subsidiary Giant Yellowknife Gold Mines Ltd was created. The company fell on hard times and by 1940, operations eventually came to a standstill. Frobisher Explorations took over the site in 1943. However, the advent of World War II halted the operation once again. Gold was not a priority in times of war, and there was a shortage of men to work the site.

Soon after the war ended, Giant Mine officially opened, and production moved into full swing. The first gold brick was poured on June 3, 1948.

From May to December 1948, the mine produced 8,152 ounces of gold from 49,985 tonnes of ore. With the nearby Con Mine also operating, Yellowknife was experiencing the rapid growth associated with a booming mining industry.

Those original claims would lead to the production of seven million ounces of gold and one of the longest continuous gold mining operations in Canadian mining history; however, they also led to a legacy of contamination."

That is what I am saying. THE pixie dust does exist - you could snort if you wanted to and it would show you - many cultures have for thousands of years - it's called Yopo contains (Bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), 5-MEO-DMT and NN DMT) - I would NOT recommend doing it (take NN DMT and smoke it or do Ayahuasca to get there). But, it's not going to be about what your puny ape brain considers "ever lasting" it is something completely different - to some degree it seems that we are eternal but not in way of ever lasting memory of one life to another, but it does contain "death" as well and you will remember that you've been there before even though it's beyond any fucking ape insect of Earth's imagination or comprehension. Do it and find out for yourself, lol! I was just as cynical as Dawkins about the afterlife until 4 seconds into the experience... it's like an atomic fucking bomb of alien consciousness (gold mine).

Until there is a new version of the video where Jimmy Kimmel gets an apple shot of his head in the end, I am going to stick with Lars.

I mean, if it's not true, then I (and 111 other sifters) upvoted something fraudulent, that is simply inconceivable to me.

In any event, the video is apparently (looking at the on-line reactions) a gold mine for tidbits to piss off real archers with should I ever meet one.

"You get up and howl about america and democracy.
There is no america there is no democracy,
We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies.
The world is a college of corporations... inexorably
Determined by the... immutable bylaws of business.

And I have chosen you to preach this evangel"

You think presidents are the face of a nation
I put em all where they are, end of the conversation

Hahaha

Groundwater contamination is the worst that's happening with this process since seismic anomalies created by the same will most likely be isolated and easily blamed on nature-Fracking is pretty frikkin' whack, it seems akin to the gold mining industry returning to 1890s technology to uncover the juice.

...and how fun was the Y2K scare? Comedy gold mine.

I don't have the economic knowledge to make any sort of argument for or against the gold standard from that perspective, but gold mining is absolutely devastating to the living environment surrounding and downstream of gold extraction sites, and it can have similarly serious consequences for human health in those areas. Driving up the value of gold any farther would not be good thing.

Seriously seems like they just lost out on a gold mine there. I mean why not partner up with Mars and make M&M Honey! Literally Taste the Rainbow!(Ya okay so that's skittle's slogan but you know what I mean lol)

What a gold mine of facial expressions! So raw and unfiltered.

There's nothing about inflation or speculation that requires fiat money.

Huh? That's what inflation is--the expansion of the fiat monetary base. WTF are you talking about?
Without a system built on fractional reserve debt, there is no method to engage in fraudulent speculation. There is no bubble, there is no artificial expansion in debt.


Inflation is a rise in general price levels. Just because the price of gold is fixed with a gold standard doesn't mean everything else is. But to be fair, inflation did tend to be lower under fixed currencies with little threat of runaway inflation and the long-run prices determined by gold mining activity. BUT this came at the cost of a more serious threat of deflation and bank runs, which you can easily argue is much worse.

What's the difference between speculation and investment? It seems people are always certain which is which after the fact, but a full reserve banking system would reduce both activities. It's a matter of degree, there are no magic bullets.

I change my approach all the time.

Currently, I go to the comment stream and read comments to direct me to a cool new vid (the comments are a gold mine!)

I also go to Recently Posted and look at the top vids expiring soon. I'm also looking for the Dread Red P -- I like to welcome new folks. It can be scary posting here for the first time even if you have been lurking for awhile. I like to do my part to be make the Sift more accessible and grow the community.

Three weeks from now, I'll probably be doing something else.

Yeah, total screw up by Sony really. You always, always encrypt personal, user information. To simply say "our security and firewalls will keep anyone out always" is just not good enough. If it's a computer, it can be hacked, and you should assume it will be.

The worst part is that it seems that ALL the personal information was unencrypted which includes the passwords themselves, and given how many people use the same password for other sites... well... the hackers now have a gold mine of information to get working on.

Never drank Jim Beam, especially once I found out they were limiting their employees bathroom breaks a few years back. Talk about having a squirt of ol' Kentucky...

Jim Beam is made in Tennesee.

I think his point still stands. I think he just meant it came from some shitty place.
/I know, I know: DIAF, "one ticket", ...whatever...

Hey, speaking as a guy from KY, bourbon is one of the very few things to be proud of from my state, so how about you back off just a bit and make fun of our senators or Rand Paul or something. But just leave our whiskey alone.


Well, hell, just make fun of my state instead: Utah! It's a gold mine! As long as you come for the sights and stay away from the small towns you'll do O.K.!

Plus Utah would have a collective heart attack if it was known for anything with alcohol in it.

/Didn't have my morning meal yet; I was looking for easy meals.
