    If you come across a customer that has several different types of metal shavings, you might ask them to sort them, and pay them accordingly. The reason I say this is that some metal turnings can be used in the refining process. If you are selling material to precious metal refiners like myself, and also had shavings or turnings to sell as well, people like myself might be interested.

    I purchase zinc and copper turnings from a scrapper myself. I rather do that than pay someone else a premium for something that other people generate as waste.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
