I really doubt that much rock can’t find any other use except being dumped into the ocean.

Then why not just use it to extend a coast line or build an island?

Not doubting your word, something doesn’t add up.

There are hotels in my country that already buy and install dessalination plants, in order to save costs, to fill pools and fountains and even irrigate gardens.

These instalations have steep requirements to be installed and the off products can’t be dangerous for return to environment, as the return often goes directly to the sea, through beaches.

Concentrating the salt is also another intelectual itch for me. We naturally concentrate salt by evaporation. There are a few programs aimed at developing low energy/high efficiency processes to obtain salt from sea water. The few I was described involved using systems built around the pressure cooker working principle or purpose built enclosed systems alike to greenhouses to force the water out. I’d risk the processes would be useful to make use of the brines.

Call me skeptic but I’ll risk there are a good number of industries that could use and profit from using that brine.

And you opted by the chemical process. Why not use reverse osmosis or pure and simple forced evaporation?

Anywhere near the mines?

And me building hope on the legend that Norway was a civilized land.

Couldn’t it be just pilled up and eventually used to back fill the mine shafts?

Where I live, the prices would be for about €1/cubic meter. That is very low. And it wouldn’t hurt farmers to be a bit more conscious on how they use water. There are still to many people that irrigate by flooding, which is demontrated as a bad practice.

The brine problem I really don’t understand it.

Nowadays, industry buys salt, processes it to remove rare metals and elements and sells back the purified sodium cloride we buy from shelves (don’t buy it; go for raw salt if you can) or ship it to other industries to be used as a filler (like powdered laundry soap).

The brine can be as easily processed into these same end uses.

Fine. Shall we retry or leave it as is?

That is not how a conversation is handled.

You voice your opinion, I voice mine, then we keep comparing ideas in order to advance the others understanding of it.

I did not attack you, I pointed issues to your statement and added my own counter points.

Surrogacy as a concept always sounded very shady.

The entire concept of surrogacy started exactly as a means for wealthy couples to have children without the need for the woman to “ruin” her body with a pregnancy.

The example you cite is, at best, an exception not the norm.

There is no shame in adopting or never having children, both of which are better options than to subject another human being to carry a child they will not raise or keep contact.

Yes. Yes, I do. How can I help?

I am perfectly capable of reading.

And just to aggravate you a little further: there is a communist party in my country, that still sports that simbology with no evil conotation. It is still a symbol of labour.

Is it wrong to make a light hearted, with no ill intent comment?

But that symbol/symbology is part of many countries flags. Look up Angola.

That was a very underrated game. The ragdoll physics was hilarious.

What?

Will it be now that we will see trains become the default large haul cargo movers?

Like any law, it can be rendered null and void by any following government, considering the following executive will not be a puppet.

As an aspiring dog trainer and an overall dog person, every single time this wikipedia article comes around makes me want to grab a very large club and bludgeon the next sorry ass I see mistreating a dog in the slightest way.
