I don't know, apparently one is larger and they are both beans, but not the same.

They also say garbanzo beans, where chickpeas would suffice :)

Reply to comment by DeNir8 in TIL A coal seam in Australia is believed to have been burning for 6,000 years, making it the oldest coal fire. The site's name is Mount Wingen but is commonly called Burning Mountain and the fire is traveling south 1m per year discoloring the ground as it goes. by jamescookenotthatone
Coal being dug for profit depends on many things. Ease of access, both in the mining sense (how easy is it to dig a mine, and how safe is the soil around it to prevent subsidence) and the distance to where it is needed. In a remote area, transportation costs might soon exceed mining profits even if it's high grade coal.

Reply to comment by plaid_rabbit in ELI5: How is that Pantone colors don't have direct RGB counterparts? by ExternalUserError
... So a Pantone printing press has interchangeable/unique ink reservoirs for each pantone? Isn't that impossible to manage or very expensive to maintain a large stock of unique inks? Or do I misunderstand.

I'm sorry you have to go through this. In cases like this I always wonder what is the story of the ex before you...
