uh yeah. not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in china, but ok.

I think this is like some kid calling in a bomb threat to the school to get out of a test.

are we losing the FIAT system? because even if we were 100% isolationist we would still be able to grow the money pool. the government would still have money to throw around on various pet projects. I know this is going to be crazy to you, but it was possible for economies to develop without...

pretty much never happens. you have to have a reason to look for something to bother bringing out that level of equipment. also the GPR stuff doesn't reach very far underground, at least compared to how deep some stuff will be ran. I am working on an 8 story building here in Atlanta, we have...
