ICE

I hate ICE for the same reason I hate that we can't refer to either SuperStonk or SubStack by a convenient shorthand. We should definitely talk more about fucking ice.

But not ICE interestingly enough

Legit got scared when I heard whistles cause ICE is there on the streets

So the bill is passed in the Senate already. The house would vote Monday so a weekend shutdown basically.. everything is funded til September.
However the 1 dept that could face a prolonged shutdown is the DHS. Which I understand has more in it than just ICE, but I think most people are pretty happy that it's going to be shutdown.

According to Google:
“The Colosseum was built between 70–80 CE by the Flavian dynasty emperors (Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian) as a massive public entertainment venue and a political tool to restore popular favor.”
With all time low approval ratings, looks like he’s trying to gain some by death matches. I’m supposing it’ll be filled with the folks his SS troopers (aka. ICE) kidnaps.

An area I rely pretty heavily on AI these days is research, which as you note is great. That didn’t exist a year ago. Now you can send it off to do a bunch of searching and data collection and come back in an hour to something very useful, including citation.
Another area is to review academic papers or data and find key datapoints or summarize conclusions, as well as to suggest alternative explanations for the data, create visualizations, etc.
To give you a few other recent examples, it’s also great these days at creating plans for things. Like, I wanted a plan for building muscle mass and it created a workout routine that fit my age, current age/health, and meal plan. As I’ve progressed I check in with it and it adjusts the plan. I could pay a trainer for this, but don’t need one.
I’ve used it for research on picking a new (used) car considering depreciation curves and maintenance costs on EVs vs ICE cars in the category I need to my family.
I find you can now use it to do math as well. It basically didn’t work at all for that a year ago, but now can reason very well around even complex math problems.
And of course, the clear breakout use case is software development. I was skeptical six months ago people without coding experience would ever be able to really build apps, but I think it’s actually there today. I am not a professional developer, but do know a bit about code, and have built an entire iOS app with a server backend in maybe 15 hours of work. And I’m *terrible* at design, but as able to point it at Apples Human Interface Guidelines and it made a UX Apple could’ve shipped.
I think we’ll see more software made, as opposed to fewer engineers because engineering costs have long been the bottleneck, but that use case alone can probably justify the investments being made in this technology. You see AI companies realizing this is a huge use case now.
I think when people say it’s plateauing, they specifically mean its ability to write prose as opposed to reason. On reasoning we’re well past intern levels of a 18mo ago, so I think the bottleneck now is people figuring out what they can use it for, as well as purpose-built interfaces for making it useful.
For example, I want to use it for data entry for the app I built, but a chat bot isn’t good for that, so I’ll have to build custom code to make that work and most people aren’t going to do that. They’re going to wait for a packaged tool that will handle that for them, but the underlying models can already do it with no more investment.

I pray that you are correct. Unfortunately, I feel that the fuckers in charge will want us on a CBDC or crypto control system where they can monitor and turn off our money. They want to tear the current system down so that we beg them for our loss of freedom.
Point of example is ICE. I’m a libertarian. I don’t give a shit about illegals in the USA that are just trying to live a good life. If you are a criminal, then throw the fucken book at you. Unfortunately, we have leadership that now want digital ID and the government monitoring your every move.

First, it was entirely unexpected. I work a desk job in DC, and take a walk from our metro station to the office.
In August after Trump called out the National Guard, my local station was one of the ones that had the heavy load out of force overnight.
Imagine a place you walk too every day that is generally boring. Then, imagine that the next day there are Humvees, guys in military uniforms, and other dudes with masks, sunglasses, and they are NOT asking, they are making you get in line.
You have to scan your drivers license, and then for me, they waved me through. This is for cars, pedestrians, everyone.
Now it was only a day — the ICE folks were gone, the humvees and National Guard remained for the month, but still - it was terrifying. I didn’t say anything, I didn’t do anything but comply - because what else could I do? What if, like a lot of DC people, my out of state drivers license hadn’t been accepted, you know?
The suddenness and briskness of the matter was what was terrifying. A lot of folks dump on ICE for being I competent, but the folks in DC were definitely NOT idiots.

RECENT UPDATES AND MILESTONES:
Centered mainly on their flagship Läntinen Koillismaa (LK) Project in Finland (copper-nickel-palladium-platinum), with some activity on Canadian assets like North Rock.
Latest Major Update (January 13, 2026)
(some copy paste here)
GT Resources announces a key project update focused on advancing the LK Project in north-central Finland with An extensive assay infill and re-assay program!
This work is a critical preparatory step toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), which the company has flagged as a near-term priority to advance the project technically and economically (and this in my opinion is the going to be the re-rate of the century!)
Work has commenced at the Kaukua Zone (the most advanced and resource-defining area of the deposit).
Over 5,000 samples (including 4,600 historic drill core pulps from pre-2009 drilling and 500 new infill samples are being re-analyzed.
Short term goal is to Standardize and refine mineralization data to better define known zones, address inconsistencies in historic assays.
support a potential updated mineral resource estimate (BUILDING ON THE EXISTING \~2.2M oz Total Precious Metals indicated + inferred, with palladium prominent)
{ EMAIL FROM DERRICK( CEO) LAST WEEK
\-We expect that it will take approximately 2 ½ months to process all the assays and receive results, including QA/QC.
\-We will report the results as appropriate.
\-the next update will be part of our year end financial reporting.
\-Once the assays are received and verified, we will need to update our block model, run new open pit optimizations and thereafter generate an updated resource estimate.
\-Once that is complete, we'll be substantially able to prepare a PEA.
\-Strategic initiatives are ongoing and we will report any material news when appropriate }
OTHER ONGOING PROGRESS:
At the North Rock project (Northwestern Ontario, Canada), GT Resources is in the early-stage exploration phase, focusing on high-grade copper-nickel-PGE .big potential in a historic mining area. (Update expected soon)
IN MY OPINION :These technical advancements (especially the Kaukua re-assay push) represent progress toward de-risking LK and unlocking value in a market hungry for secure Western-sourced critical metals like palladium, copper, and nickel.
Now time for some boring stuff
I’ll kick it off by talking a little about PALLADIUM and COPPER of which GT has a significant resource of.
1# Geological scarcity: Palladium is one of the rarest elements in the Earth’s crust (abundance \~0.5–0.6 parts per billion, rarer than gold in many contexts). Global reserves are limited and highly concentrated
2#Palladium remains essential for emission control in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, hybrids, and plug-in hybrids in fact Hybrids often require higher loadings of palladium/platinum due to their operating profiles
3#Hydrogen purification and membranes: Palladium’s exceptional ability to selectively filter and permeate hydrogen (while blocking other gases) makes it ideal for producing high-purity hydrogen. the clean hydrogen segment critical for "hydrogen power" is in a high-growth phase with recent 10%+ annual increases and projections for much faster scaling through 2030.
4#Palladium is used in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), conductive components, and plating in electronics, including IoT devices, semiconductors, and highend applications.
MY THOUGHTS : It’s emerging roles in AI-related tech, such as specialized memory storage material are in my opinion the most under rated.like I mentioned in #4 the MLCCs usage is mainly due to the fact it’s now expereincing emerging roles in AI-related tech, such as specialized memory storage material FOR AI DATA CENTERS)
COPPER another huge resource of theirs
,I won’t go so deep into detail with this because most people are already aware but the most notable uses and deficits are as follows.
1# Mainly the rapid expansion of AI data centers is significantly contributing to a growing global copper shortage (or more precisely, a structural supply deficit)
2# Copper is essential for electrical wiring, power distribution, cooling systems, transformers, and grid connections
KEY FACT:The need for efficient conductivity in this data centre copper remains largely non-substitutable here (aluminum alternatives face limitations in thermal performance and airflow)
Now that we have that out of the way I’m going to elaborate on their current resources at their flagship project and describe several other notable property’s they own.
Their flagship project is in Finland. (1# mining jurisdiction in the world)
1# Läntinen Koillismaa or LK in FINLAND

large-scale, district opportunity 38,130 hectares across Tyko I and II, with 767 claims; mostly 100% owned
Targeting high-grade nickel-copper-PGE (platinum group elements) mineralization.
Notable high-grade discoveries include:
\-Smoke Lake Zone (e.g., intercepts like 3.8m at 8.1% Ni, 2.9% Cu).
\-West Pickle Zone (e.g., 0.9m at 12.9% Ni, 2.7% Cu).
multiple chonoliths over 20+ km strike, and excellent infrastructure (roads, power, rail).
Recognized as a Tier 1 project with active exploration (soil sampling, mapping, planned drilling pending permits), and it’s been a focus in recent company updates/milestones
3# North Rock Project- Ontario
7,000 hectares, 100% owned, Tier 1): Copper-nickel-PGE focus with a 13-20 km mineralized trend in the Grassy Portage intrusion. High-grade historical sampling (up to 8.9% Cu, 12.2 g/t Pt) and intercepts, plus recent 2025 sampling (8.2% Cu) and BHEM conductors identified. Excellent access (highway, rail)
4# Canalask Project (Yukon)
Wholly-owned nickel-copper project near the Alaska Highway, with historical footwall resource (\~400,000 tonnes at 1.35% Ni) and recent drilling mobilization/funding.
5# Big Lake Project (Northwest Ontario,
100% owned, \~6,539 hectares (319 cell claims). Multi-commodity focus: primarily gold-rich copper-zinc VMS-style mineralization (e.g., high-grade BL14 Zone intercepts like 7.5% Cu, 2.2% Zn, 9.2 g/t Au over 4m), plus secondary magmatic nickel-copper-PGE targets and vein-hosted rhenium-molybdenum Located near Barrick’s Hemlo gold mine (\~10 km southwest), with good access via Trans-Canada Highway.
6# Hemlo East Project (Northwest Ontario)
Acquired via the 2023 MetalCorp deal, 100% owned (with an earn-in agreement involving Barrick Gold on part of it). Adjacent to Barrick’s Hemlo gold operations, with access via Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 17). Commodities target gold and related base metals
7# Playter Project (tied to Big Lake area, Northwest Ontario)
Often mentioned alongside Big Lake (acquired with MetalCorp). Focuses on the Playter vein-hosted rhenium-molybdenum deposit inferred resource: 0.9 Mt at 1.67 g/t Re, 0.25% Mo,plus potential extensions or related VMS/magmatic styles. It’s part of the broader Big Lake land package or closely adjacent, emphasizing rare metals
8# Kostonjarvi (KS) Project (Finland)
20,000-hectare reservation/exploration area (approved \~2020). Copper-nickel-PGE target in a regional-scale chonolith (same intrusion as LK). It’s an interpreted deep feeder system with potential for higher-grade sulphides. Early-stage, with some updates in 2024 noting future plans, but less advanced than LK—no defined resources yet.
Other minor or royalty interests( NOT ACTIVE LAND PACKAGES )

Pickle Lake Property (Ontario)
NSR royalty (1-2%, with buyback options) on 28 claims (\~5,440–5,616 hectares) adjacent to the former Pickle Crow gold mine (now with First Mining Gold). GT holds royalty entitlement plus a $1M production bonus (not an operated land package)

Excellent. Starve ICE.

yes. But not being able to afford rent is always bad. Preventing a park ranger from being able to pay their rent so you can punish ICE for something The park rangers are not involved in is cruel and absolutelyworthy of criticism.
If it was bad to sack many of them, it's not a good thing to just not pay the rest, it doesn't make you the compassionate ones.

Completely true. I enjoyed shopping at Target for decades. They built a liberal costumer base and did a complete 180. I haven’t shopped there since January. I was going to a shower for someone registered there and marked my item purchased elsewhere instead of buying it from them.
The fact they had employees dragged out of their stores by ICE and their corporate home city terrorized with little to no response is infuriating. New ownership and leadership is needed if they don’t want their ship to continue sinking.

Tbh, I’m glad we don’t have a multi-year commitment to find ICE.

To be fair, I hate Schumer, but the money that ICE gets has already been distributed. There is literally nothing Dems can do about that specifically.

“Since the longest shutdown in U.S. history last fall, lawmakers have been working to pass individual spending bills to fund federal agencies through September 2026. Congress has passed, and the president has signed, six of those bills already. The other six are the focus of the current funding fight.
Bipartisan talks appeared to have yielded a deal in recent weeks. Appropriators released the text of the funding measures on Jan. 20. Five of the bills were grouped together into one package, while the bill funding DHS was separated. House Democrats had threatened to withhold their support for the overall funding if the DHS bill was included, arguing it did not go far enough to rein in ICE after the deadly shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.
The DHS portion passed with support from just seven Democrats when the House voted last week, while the larger funding package passed with wide bipartisan support. The House then grouped the bills together to send them to the Senate, a move that was meant to clear the way for swift passage.
But the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis last weekend changed the calculus for Senate Democrats. They came out fiercely against funding for DHS without further reforms, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the caucus would not provide the votes to move forward on the funding package unless the DHS money was stripped out.”
“In addition to DHS, funding for other major departments and their subagencies has lapsed. They include:
Defense Department
State Department
Department of Labor
Department of Health and Human Services
Department of Education
Department of Transportation
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service. “

You're exactly right. In fact I believe all this is intentional. What better way to get the public disinterested than to release a bunch of secondary source documents with stories so fantastic that they couldn't possible be true while sprinkling in records that pander to fringe groups who have been discredited as conspiracy theorists and meme traders historically.
In the other thread I saw folks talking about the document that said "they disembowled the babies and ate their shit." I didn't personally see that claim but it may be in a record somewhere, anyone can say anything. Either way people were responding as if it was a proven fact, not some email that is required to be stored for 7 years due to government regulation for record keeping.
Anyway I'm rambling, prepare for MSM to start the narrative of "wow these idiots believe they were eating babies, and they are the same ones that believe that (insert topic) is bad. Therefore you should discredit them completely, their cause, and also the Epstein files." Topics may include GME, Short Selling, ICE Raids, CPI, child sex trafficking, etc.

Elon Musk soon to be arrested by ICE and deported to South Africa...his US Citizenship is null and void

Does this mean no more ICE?
