If you wash away the salt deposits, that implies using water and thus generating brine. Brushing the salt away might be better. Main thing would be avoiding losing the salt to precipitation, as the idea seems to be to avoid it returning to the ocean.
Figuring out how to economically purify the salts, including separating out the lithium, would be a neat trick.

Exactly, we would have had cataclysmic earthquakes if the summary were correct.

The poles have shifted dramatically in recent decades and the field has weakened substantially leading to bright auroras in Florida and Hawaii at low KP numbers.

Models have the North Pole arriving at the Bay of Bengal sooner than anybody would expect. Christmas will be awkward until we change our vocabulary..

Thing is, fingerprinting in general is not a new field, and people have been throwing neural nets at it for a long time. It has always been a pretty sketchy technique and sensitive to overfitting. You don't need people trying to shield themselves, things just change in ways that screw up fingerprints. They are notoriously difficult to keep up to date and mostly seem to survive as part of packages sold to big IT departments as 'this will detect things!', .

They think center-left is ultra right-wing.

Some mostly sensible people consider themselves center-left and feel hurt that the he Valley types are calling them fascists.

It's all complicated by the 1D spectrum model of the French Parliament being applied to politics broadly.

The Left Authoritarians really hate the Right Authoritarians while the Left Libertarians and the Right Libertarians mostly get along.

It sort of makes sense becauae violence is inherent in the former while cooperation is inherent in the latter.

But the angry aren't usually educated im polisci at all and just operate on the Friend/Eny distinction of their tribe's momentary collective preferences, which can turn on a dime.

The Valley oligarchs will also switch allegiances instantaneously if they perceive advantage in profit or control with shifting winds.
