  1. I had my first encounter with a retail #PennyPolicy today. I don't think these are going to go over very well... at all!

    A regional coffee shop chain no longer takes - or gives - #pennies as #cash at the register. Each customer's total bill, after taxes, is rounded to the nearest #nickle.

    If the last digit comes out to less than 3 #cents , they round down to zero. If it comes out as 3 or more cents, it gets ronded up a notch.

    Paying by #card? They charge you the 'correctly calculated' total.

  2. You had me at “acid-leaching technology” 😳 #EV #nickle #mining #mineWaste

    To deal with the acid waste: “ the companies behind the project told the government they had a solution: They would pump the waste into the ocean. “
