Mick,

There is a problem with F-16s and the Mirages... Foreign Object Debris which is where small bits of junk get sucked into the engines on takeoff or landing. YouTube has loads of videos about FOD Walks being done to keep runways clean enough to allow the aircraft to takeoff/land:

The F-16s cannot be used anywhere close to the Ruzzian borders as it will be clear from satellite coverage that they are spending so much time cleaning the runways to make them suitable for the aircraft... And then Ruzzia will know where to attack to destroy the prized aircraft.

The few planes that the Ukrainians currently use do not suffer from the same problem.

Kenny,

It is even worse... The interview is only due to be aired next Wednesday. A lot changes in 6 days during an election campaign... such as the Tories releasing their manifesto next Tuesday. The lack of judgement is worrying; after all, he is the one at the moment who could send the UK into a war / start a war by his stupidity.

Even TalkTV has lost the plot: ""A RESIGNATION Offence!" | Rishi Sunak 'DISRESPECTS' D-Day By Leaving Event Early For TV Interview"

Apologies - it should be 'it is important that people do not politicise this'

He is still a T-NUC!

$unak - 'it is important that people do not criticise this'

T-NUC!

"sharia law will be on the manifesto next."

Maybe stop poisoning your mind with Murdoch press and the rest of the nonsense pushed by the right wing media. Under the 1996 Arbitration Act both Sharia Law and the Beth Din already play a role in some ARBITRATION which is consensual and not law.

I thought that $unak would be better than Doris or a lettuce...

They are not stocking up on food or fuel, so the answer seems to be no.

So many accounts from one idiot and that is after I deleted about 100 ids.

Pretty early Jake - do you think Admin are going to leave you to post your nonsense?

Definitely... And, how easy will it be to get environmental permissions to release bioengineered bacteria into the wild when there is an unknown probability of genetic drift. When bacteria are gene edited, antibiotic resistance genes are regularly added as a marker to check if the gene transfer process has been effective - releasing antibiotic resistance genes into the water table could be catastrophic.

One of the AI Bio companies I follow is designing genetically modified bacteria to use in the field but I cannot remember their name at the moment. Perplexity provided the following answer to my question below:

Q - there is a new field of ai science genetically engineering microbies to leach mine tailings; provide an overview of the topic and list some of the leading companies in this field

A - Genetically engineering microbes for bioleaching of mine tailings is an emerging field that aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of metal recovery from mining waste. Here's an overview of the topic:

## Genetically Engineering Microbes for Bioleaching

Bioleaching utilizes microorganisms like bacteria and fungi to extract valuable metals from low-grade ores, mine tailings, and other mineral resources. Traditionally, this process relies on naturally occurring microbes, but genetic engineering techniques are now being explored to create more efficient and specialized strains for bioleaching.

The key advantages of genetically engineered microbes include:

1. **Improved metal solubilization**: Microbes can be engineered to produce higher levels of leaching agents like acids or chelating compounds, increasing metal extraction rates.

2. **Tolerance to extreme conditions**: Genetic modifications can enhance the microbes' tolerance to high metal concentrations, extreme pH levels, and other harsh conditions found in mine tailings.

3. **Targeted metal recovery**: Specific genes can be introduced or modified to enable selective leaching of desired metals, reducing the need for further separation processes.

4. **Faster leaching kinetics**: Metabolic pathways can be optimized for quicker metal dissolution and improved leaching kinetics.

While still in its early stages, this field holds promise for more sustainable and cost-effective metal recovery from mining waste.

### Leading Companies and Research Institutions

Some of the leading companies and research institutions exploring genetically engineered microbes for bioleaching include:

- **Biomine** (South Africa): A biotechnology company focused on developing engineered microbes for bioleaching and biomining applications.

- **Geobacter Project** (USA): A research collaboration between various universities and institutions, investigating the use of genetically modified Geobacter bacteria for bioleaching and bioremediation.

- **Bangor University** (UK): Researchers at Bangor University have engineered Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans for enhanced copper bioleaching.

- **CSIRO** (Australia): Australia's national science agency has conducted research on engineering microbes for bioleaching of gold and other precious metals.

- **Luleå University of Technology** (Sweden): Researchers here have worked on genetic engineering of acidophilic microorga

Historically at Week 23 there should be around 20000 tonnes in stock but there are over 500000. Why nearly double? And what happens to prices if they stop buying for a while. The trend may be up but it is not going to be a smooth ride.
