Based on that breakdown, it appears that approximately 80% of consumer used gold is in electronics, i.e. way more than is used for jewelry etc... Just my guess for what that stat really means

That's why Kinross has been setting up for the past couple years.

While gold is a good conductor, silver and copper are both better conductors and considerably more abundant. The main reason we use gold is because it doesn't corrode or oxidize.

That’s a dubiously sourced stat fyi, gold.com is not a reliable source.
The US Geologic Survey, a non biased 3rd party not trying to sell you something, puts the number closer to 10%
“Estimated global gold consumption was jewelry, 47%; physical bar, 21%; central banks and other institutions, 14%; official coins and medals and imitation coins, 10%; electrical and electronics, 7%; and other, 1%.”

Gold is a very good conductor.

That’s about 50 tons of gold at todays prices.

Yeah I meant the website links (that I'm getting on desktop) might not work on mobile.
$5 for the app, not bad, but I prefer desktop anyways...
There was some other app that does similar thing, I think it's $10?

It takes a minute to load, and probably doesn't work on mobile.

Reply to In Washington, is using a smartphone holder that mounts to the rearview mirror, like the one in the image, legal or illegal? by thismightbeawiki
I have put my phone covering part of the speedometer and gas gauge when I need to see the directions. In terms of the rear view mirrors, you must have any two of the three. A work van with no rear windows had the mirror and it was kind of pointless, and sometimes hauling stuff in a car renders that mirror useless as well.

File a complaint with the department of labor. I’ve had similar situations and can tell you that they do not fuck around with this sort of thing.

It’s called “Dismal Nitch,” “Cape Disappointment”, and “Point No Point” for a reason.

Contact an employment lawyer. If you worked as agreed you’re owed. But you will need to pursue that legally. Also you can contact the department of labor. They get pretty pissed about these things.

This would block your view too much. I recommend getting one of the mounts that hooks up and sits in your air vent. I have a Belkin on that is great and is in a good line of sight without blocking the windshield and I barely need to tilt my head to look at it.

I get these all the time. I wish I could write back, I'd say:
"Dude. If you had a clip of me jacking off to the porn I like to jack off to, and it was two frames with one showing the porn I like and the other showing how much I liked *that*, I'd give you money for it. That sounds hot.
And if you sent it around to my friends and whatnot, I imagine most of them would be like, "Woah. I had no idea Steve has such a big dick.""

Yay, just what our state needs, a bunch of undeserved wealth falling into the laps of the state's worst political actors along with a heaping serving of environmental destruction. Hope we tax the absolute shit out of every cent they pull out of the ground.
^(edit: lol at u/highdad_soup for firing off 2 childish comments on this thread - including calling me a child - and then immediately blocking me to avoid a clapback)
