    For sure.

    NASA found elemental sulfur crystals on Mars, that's pretty cool.

    Pretty cool looking stuff, interesting how it forms on Earth and those implications for Mars. I'm mostly m20 these days but try to still look at msl images daily. Definitely had a what is that moment.


    Also cool, got a little glow from the UV LEDs it seems:


    Should be an equally interesting press release from m20 next week or after.

    In an East Greenland fjord, a mountaintop collapsed into the sea and triggered a mega-tsunami about 200 meters (650 feet) tall. The giant wave rocked back and forth inside the narrow fjord for nine days, generating the seismic waves that reverberated through Earth's crust, baffling scientists around the world.

    I'm amazed google can't find any pics of the place I went to but I guess it's only for testing nerds going on their company time and who would never think or care about sharing photos online. The chamber looks just like the Minnesota, of course, and it's a trip walking into into those chambers. The acoustical change as you enter is drastic, especially if you are carrying a conversation as you walk in. It's like putting on noise cancelling headphones but much more disorientating.

    Nobody felt like they were gonna tip over right away, maybe that comes after 20-30 minutes.

    I bet I could last longer than that. They can't do anything to stop my voices.

    That’s sort of one thing I’m curious about - I have screaming constant tinnitus. Wonder how that’d be.

    That's a pretty long way of saying that for most of human history most people died in infancy. (Just like other animals.) Factor in how many women died in childbirth and average life span becomes even less meaningful. Prehistorically, if you survived infancy, childbirth, and trauma you had a good chance of making it at least into your 70's. While the ancients lacked modern medicine they also lacked population density--the main cause of epidemics and other infectious diseases, processed foods, chemicals in the air and water, etc etc. Medicine is good at keeping babies and mothers alive (unless the mother is Black and American.)

    There's a cool testing facility that uses the cooling towers from some unfinished nuclear reactors in Washington. https://nwaalabs.ipower.com/index.html

    I've been in a bunch of those chambers of various sizes but I haven't had solo time in any of the really quiet ones. Usually it's with several people making adjustments or trying to troubleshoot a test.

    Dont forget that medicine is nice to keep a small scratch from getting infected, causing your arm to go septic and then killing you!

    it probably becomes deafening, that would be interesting to know how it went.

    Good place to sneak a fart out.

    Ha, that place also has a twenty-ish year old website. No need to update it of course, it's 'just the facts' with no b.s. or fancy graphics.

    Reason number 8,432,694 why the open ocean is a scary fucking place: rogue waves, and especially, the biggest ever recorded:

    Watch the graphic and imagine you're in a ship riding up that 58' wave that came out of nowhere in the pitch black of night.

    Nightmare fuel.
