Adamantium, bolognium, dilithium. Element Zero, Kryptonite. Mythril, Netherite, Orichalcum, Unobtanium. We love the idea of fictional elements with miraculous properties that science has yet to discover. But is it really possible that new elements exist beyond the periodic table?

Making mezcal is really hard work. Mexican producers harvest agave by hand and cook it in giant, earthen ovens. Then they crush it using a 1,000-pound, horse-drawn stone and distill it in copper pots. Despite all this effort, Mexican producers aren’t making the big bucks, even though demand for the spirit is booming. While Mexican regulations do require mezcal to be made in Mexico, that hasn't stopped large, international companies from scooping up mezcal supplies, repackaging, and reselling bottles for huge profits abroad. And the only organization that can stand in the way, the mezcal certifying agency COMERCAM, has faced claims of favoritism of these large companies. This has left some century-old mezcal brands frustrated and fearful that their ancestral ways of making mezcal are at risk. So, there's a growing trend of brands leaving the certified industry and choosing to call their brands "distilled agave" instead of mezcal.

Video of an ore processor YouTuber working on samples from the Cerro Gordo Ghost Town mine. Very interesting especially the first part where they extract it from the abandoned Cerro Gordo mine.

A. Definition of Sedna Planet Sedna is a distant and mysterious world located in the outer reaches of our Solar System. It is the most distant known object in the Solar System and has been classified as a dwarf planet. It was discovered in 2003 by Michael E. Brown, who later named it “Sedna” after the Inuit goddess of the sea, Sidne. Sedna is believed to be the remnant of the Early Solar System. Exactly two decades later, Sedna has again caught the limelight of astronomers all around the World. Due to its mysterious nature, Sedna has always confused astronomers until now. Sedna is a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). It was officially classified as a dwarf planet in 2008, making it the third object recognised by the IAU. It is located beyond the orbit of Neptune and is believed to be part of the Kuiper Belt, a region of icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune. B. Overview of Sedna's discovery The discovery of Sedna has significantly impacted the field of astronomy and astrophysics. Sedna is the most distant object ever observed in the Solar System, and its discovery has provided scientists with valuable insights into the formation and evolution of the outer Solar System. Sedna's discovery has also helped to confirm the existence of the hypothesised Oort Cloud, a vast spherical shell of icy objects that surrounds the Solar System. Sedna's orbit is highly eccentric, and its perihelion is much farther from the Sun than any other known object in the Solar System.

In this platinum documentary, we explore platinum mining, science, history, and the future outlook for this truly unique commodity. As one of the lesser known, but nonetheless vital precious metals, platinum has a long history of being used for jewelry and ornamentation, reaching back to the ancient Egyptian empire, having been discovered on a coffin unearthed in Thebes, estimated to be from the 7th century BC. Modern day uses of platinum include being a key element in catalytic converters for vehicles , as a catalyst in the chemical industry, and even in the creation of life-saving anti-cancer drugs.

In August of 2017 I made my first adobe brick. A few months later I had made at least 170 adobe bricks and used them to construct a strong adobe hut with a thatched roof. During the following three years I worked on many bushcraft projects to improve the quality of life at the adobe hut while exploring survival skills of native peoples. This is the final video featuring this adobe hut. It is a compilation of almost ever project that I filmed at the hut. While this chapter of the adventure ends, I am embarking on a new adventure and I invite you to follow along this exciting journey as I seek to establish a new and better settlement in a different location. I just want to say THANK YOU for these amazing three years. It has been an immense blessing!

It took Chizoba Amalu 10 months to construct his own automobile, a prototype of Gravity X, and this is his second car built from the scratch with little or zero assistance.
Basically built an electric car from spare parts! Like an African Tony Stark!

Physics progresses by breaking our intuitions, but we’re now at a point where further progress may require us to do away with the most intuitive and seemingly fundamental concepts of all—space and time.

This is not a conspiracy theory. Before the fall of Germany in WWII a large number of Nazi higher ups bailed from Germany to relocate to South America. There are actual areas of South America that consist of the descendents of these refugees and pretty much they live in obscurity. Interesting stuff.
 
General chit-chat

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
