Lenovo ThinkPhone. I like it. Very tough, fast, and good battery life.

I’m only 29 but if I think back to being 20, I was not the same person. I don’t know your life, but responsibility piles on fast.

You still have a few years.

That explains why easy jet asked if I wanted to move to an exit row. I thought I just got lucky.

Sounds like a job for Tuvix

Lmao I’m sorry. It’s a breaking bad reference.

Quartz is a mineral. Jesus Marie!

I am guessing the reason it’s done has something to do with mining and trying to solve material density problems.

This is definitely part of it. Oil companies have labs that run samples all day every day to study the density and porosity of rocks to see how much oil or gas they could hold when they’re trying to find new areas to drill.

Most of what I’m familiar with is research labs at universities where they are studying it to simulate tiny earthquakes. It’s just pure research to learn more about how the earth functions as a system. All rocks are different and all situations are different so the more data you collect the more you can understand exactly what happened during an earthquake and why. Maybe it can lead to better earthquake prediction or it can let us use those earthquakes to know more about the structure of the earth.

Sort of. I work closely with geophysics in the rock mechanics world. I don’t personally know if any machines that create folds at large scale due to the heat and pressure required but rock deformation is a big thing they do. I’ve built a few machines that do this.

Small scale experiments at the temperatures and pressures required are done using diamond anvils at extreme pressure and sometimes with laser heating.

Larger scale is done with giant hydraulic presses called triaxes that use confining pressures up to the Gigapascal level.

Still 3-5% more possible buyers for your car by the logic I guess. Not that I agree with the system but marketing is fucked.

You wouldn’t happen to be Zephram Cochrane would you?
