Fun fact a rich guy once bought the mining rights to a meteorite impact crater believing that it would be an easy source of pure iron to mine since most meteorites are primarily iron, but after digging for hundreds of feet and finding no iron the project ran out of money and went bust, because meteorites disintegrate into first a liquid iron, which then oxidised very rapidly and becomes dust and small chunks which settle in an ejecta pattern around the impact zone, so.etimes many miles wide, and this thing layer is fairly quickly eroded away, so there’s no usable iron nor a meaningful amount of oxide remaining.
Smaller meteorites often land intact, as their surface area allows for meaningful atmospheric friction to slow them down, and these are chunks of iron, but larger than about the size of a large van, the meteorite is usually obliterated.
Entry angle can allow for exceptions, IE I’d a meteorite just grazes the atmosphere but still slows down enough to suborbital speeds,it can land as big chunks, but eve.ln these get scattered over hundreds of kilometres. Any impact steeper than about 20 degrees and larger than a large van is usually carrying so much momentum at ground level that it hits at several, and possibly tend if kilometres per second, which liquifies and scatters it widely.

I must be genetically predisposed to veganism because I genuinely don’t like cheese or bacon very much.
Still really like lamb and chicken though, so 🤷

Consider the average fork. Do the times need to be so long? When have you ever needed to impale your food to a depth of 40mm or more?
Conversely, think on when you have picked up food and it slid down the times, so that to bite it off you must insert the bare tubes perilously deep into your mouth where you might strike a tooth or the tongue?
Shorter fork tines are the way of the future

Yes, this season of Earth is satire. The writers have pivoted away from the Thriller Drama genre and gone for something more fun.

Actual dream I had the other night of riding a bike while porky-pigging (shirt but no pants) and jerking off while a cop car chased me. Probably one of the most degenerate dreams I’ve ever had.

- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
In the royal Australian Navy, we got fed ridiculous amounts of potatoes au gratin, sans the gratin. It was like big trays of thin -ish sliced potatoes, drowned in white sauce, and walked past a tepid oven. The potato was still mostly raw. Thankfully nobody seemed to like the broccoli but me (because it was unsalted), so I’d get a mountain of broccoli and jazz it up with salt, pepper, and butter pads.
I think we got some kind of meat but for the life of me I can’t remember any specific meat dish except an inedible beef stroganoff with a thin gravy made from what tasted like all the burnt bits scraped off all the other pans, blended in some dishwater. That thing would ruin your day.

Sure, you can ask 10 experts, and get 11 opinions.
Researching books, authors, subjects, and determining which ones are appropriate and which ones aren’t is complex stuff.
You would, for example, research the authors prior publishing history of books and journal articles, read peer reviews of their articles, check their references, research the history of the authors of their references ECT to build an idea of what sort of author you’re dealing with. Do they know their stuff, or are they just a book mill?
