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

Gorgeous area. I hiked some of the PNT through there a few years ago. Would love to go back

No spiders? Tell that to the hundreds of spiders in and around my house every summer and fall. At least they aren't poisonous.

Why bother advocating for a lesser option if you agree that ranked choice would be better? Voting no just seems to further the divide and increase negativity in campaigning.

Ranked choice voting is a ballot initiative in Seattle this year, so it is definitely gaining support.

Reply to comment by RoterFuchs1994 in Museum shows off Taiwan flag which went to the moon on Apollo 11 by Pure_Candidate_3831

Here's my best guesstimate: the flag looks pretty small, maybe 9" max on each side. The lightest weight cotton cloth for handkerchief is around 3 oz/sq yd. (135 countries+50 states)/16 flags/sq.yd.*3oz/yd=34.7oz or roughly one kilogram. So not a lot, but not trivial in terms of space travel. Also much lighter than one lunar flag kit for the American flag that was planted, which weighed 4.3kg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Flag_Assembly
