My SI joints and TFL - part of quad that attaches to my hip) are brutal.

Too much shitty walking in heavy boots. I find activity actually helps, now that I'm mostly recovered after a pile of massage and physio. If I stay still (sit at my desk for a week).though I start to seize up

I don't think he's shaming, but rather pointing out that the story in their case would seem fishy

One in a million shot, doc

Hopefully the value drops as well, and we see the market correct itself

The fucking (ha?) double negatives everywhere in that article make my head spin

Indeed, just a month after opening, the Canadian government is trying to walk away from the Trans Mountain pipeline. The finance minister said there was no interest in being “a long-term owner of the project” and the government has now floated the idea of selling the pipeline to a consortium of First Nations.

That does not sit well with some members of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, a community directly across from the tanker farm that has emerged as some of the pipeline’s fiercest critics.

“They say it’s a ‘reconciliation deal’ to sell First Nations people the pipeline, so that we can share in the revenues,” said Reuben George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. “But it’s a debt-ridden stranded asset. It would be economic smallpox to Indigenous peoples.”

I'm glad First Nations are seeing right through this charade.

What an absolutely damning article. It's well written, and clearly illustrates how two-faced, short-sighted, and greedy our government is being. The subsidizing and later failure of the terminal project was pretty shocking as well.

Edit your title, burhvine.

Your mother doesn't mind

Get the fuck out of here with your logic

Guise. Guise. They're both black.... Dons tinfoil hat

Anyone else craving olives after reading this thread?

There's a couple things to consider here:

1. Any energy spent to crush the basalt produces CO2, making the process of C storage less efficient

2. Soil benefits would be slow because you're relying on geochemical weathering. Elemental sulphur is used as an amendment and as you would expect, it drops soil pH, but the process has a lag time and the hoo boy it goes brrr. Conversely, rock phosphate is used, and that's a pretty gradual release.

3. The C sequestration is likely slow and reversible.

Carbonates break down quickly. They're also highly labile in the soil. Because of this it's not a silver bullet. They can precipitate lower in soil profile, but they can also be brought to the surface with capillary action, and re-exposed/weathered.

I've seen some articles on using this concept for mining C storage, as tailings are 'just' rock dust and water, so they are looking at ways to convert tailings facilities to C storage facilities at closure, but it's not there yet. Everything I've seen has been conceptual.

Back to farming, though, why not just use lime?

Don't do it. Don't do it! There is life outside of academia! We have things like grass, sunlight, money (sometimes), and social lives (unless you're a hermit like me).

Uh... Uhhh... We also have... Doritos?

This is great
