Will space mining ever be a thing or is it strictly science fiction? Is there anything in space worth mining or collecting?

Of course.
Consider the cost of getting things onto an asteroid/moving it into orbit.
Well estimate this at ~20billion USD.
Comet weighs several hundred million pounds
Composition percent gold/platinum/iridium/rubuim 5% which is pretty low for alot of them
5% of 500 million is 25 million pounds at $1000 per ounce is 400billion.
Not a bad profit

I always see this but every time I read it up I see a lot of things that counter my little understanding on econ 101.
It will become a thing once there's a need for it. As of now, there's nothing there that we couldn't find here (correct me if I am wrong??) in enough quantities to sustain our markets.

Anyway to replicate it realistically in procedural terrain generation?
I'm guessing erosion but I don't know what type of erosion. Also what's the pattern called?

wind, snow, rain, storms(etc), soil, erosion, temperature climate, size of rocks beneath the soil and tectonic activity.
That's a general start. Its up to you to create a program that can produce pseudo-legitimate mountain ranges in an analytical, computer format.

I donated blood over a week ago. The nurse only stuck the needle in once, but had to wiggle it around a bunch before blood would flow. The entry point is in that clear area in my forearm pit and the needle went up towards my bicep. It's actually darker than in the picture and doesn't seem to have any yellow. The bruise only seems to be getting worse and spreading farther away from the entry point. I drew the lines on to track it.
Should I go to the doctor? Am I going to dead?

If it doesn't hurt a lot, you can still move it and it doesn't feel numb you're fine and just had a bad nurse.

Hey /sci/, when did you realize that the only way to prevent a Permian level greenhouse extinction caused by anthropogenic climate change is rapid population degrowth through a limited nuclear exchange and the deployment of potent bioweapons, crashing the global economy and preempting the release of methane hydrates?
>"These emissions are prone to be non-gradual (massive, abrupt) for a variety of reasons," she told Truthout. "The main reason is that the nature of major processes associated with methane releases from subsea permafrost is non-gradual."
>Shakhova warned that a 50-gigaton -- that is, 50-billion-ton -- "burp" of methane from thawing Arctic permafrost beneath the ESAS is "highly possible at any time."
>Based on measurements of gases trapped in biogenic and abiogenic calcite, the release of methane (of ∼3–14% of total C stored) from permafrost and shelf sediment methane hydrate is deemed the ultimate source and cause for the dramatic life-changing global warming (GMAT > 34 °C) and oceanic negative-carbon isotope excursion observed at the end Permian. Global warming triggered by the massive release of carbon dioxide may be catastrophic, but the release of methane from hydrate may be apocalyptic. The end Permian holds an important lesson for humanity regarding the issue it faces today with greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, and climate change.

But his goals are quite similar to yours. Depopulating the planet by using bioweapons to kill non-whites. Really makes you think.

Why does holding in your pee seem to make you more alert?
I worked nighshift a lot when I was young, nothing woke me up more than holding in my pee. Not coffee, caffeine pills or adderall. Just the fact of holding my pee was like a instant shot of cocaine.

hold it in until it reaches your kidneys and you will experience one of the most painful sensations. It's a risky game

Is Google scholar a reliable source of information on what other articles cite the paper I read? Is the list it provides complete or are there any other places I need to check as well?

SciFinder does this but a) you need access and b) it's limited to chemistry and closely related subjects.

Also, does the publisher themselves know exactly what other articles cite the paper they published or are they not informed?
