Imagine a cube 740 feet to a side ... over half a mile to walk all the way round it, and way up there, four and a half times the height of Niagara Falls ... now stand back, get it in perspective, appreciate the whole thing, pretty big eh, that would hold a lot
That's how much oil our species burns - every day.
.. based on 13,500,000 cubic metres from wikipedia and its cube root 238m from a net cube root calculator ... could be wrong, looks about right though
That was a Lee-Enfield action for sure, i know Mauser ... and definitely Parker Hale, gunsmith knew his stuff and was a friend ... soup tin at 100 yards was no problem, smack in the middle, likely a one-inch pattern there or so, more accuracy than you tend to need on the coast, where you mostly come across deer on a rainy morning driving to work, and up close, trick is to slip anything that shoots out from behind the seat of the pickup, smooth and fast as possible, this is how i got most venison with an old Winchester single-shot 12ga, deep rubber pad and still kick like a mule, paid little for it so used to leave it there wrapped in a blanket bouncing around, longest shot maybe sixty feet, several much closer, in the rain they seem to move around more and worry less ... one little spike buck started to slowly walk toward the truck, just curious what the engine noise and lights and windshield wipers were all about ... sporting it ain't, but tasty and nutritious yes
Market shot to hell, yeah ... if i had a rocket launcher ... news on vit.v and they sold it down, well of course why not, truly amazing -
'The Helen zone, a new discovery by Victoria, is located just 625 m (2,000 feet) north-west of the large Cove open pit. In addition, the elevation of the top of the Helen zone gold mineralization is just above the bottom of the Cove open-pit, which may facilitate its access. Importantly, drill hole NW-6A extends the size of the Helen zone to the southeast toward the Cove pit along a major north-west striking structural system.' |
