Doggo adds to the precipitation. Rain and storms. Death Valley is experiencing a "superbloom" after record rainfall. He thought it was a honeypot. Doggo is excited to be adopted from the shelter. Welcome company. Rain in the Grand Canyon causes temporary waterfalls. Rain in Glencoe, Scotland. Rain in Edinburgh. Wet ducklings. Guy "mines" the streets of NYC, digging up the dirt in the cracks in the pavement outside jewelry shops, looking for dropped gems and precious metals. He made $800 one month so he's like a millionaire.

It was called VHS-C. I was an engineer in the coating and calendaring department at the Sony Magnetics in Alabama for 14 years. At the end we were producing 54,000 foot jumbo rolls (2.1 feet wide) of tape at 4,000 feet per minute. We were making millions of cassettes a month and supplied the entire Western Hemisphere.

Hitler's Führerbunker began as a ballroom extension to a building called the Old Chancelley to which an air raid shelter was added, eventually transformed into a luxurious bunker 50 feet underground that could be hermetically sealed to protect the VIP occupants from chemical weapons.
T***p's fanatic emphasis on ballroom/bunker might indicate that he anticipates, or will precipitate, a nuclear exchange of some sort, from which he, his staff, & (probably) selected billionaire donors might be protected.
otherwise, it is hard to explain how important this ballroom has suddenly become.

In the post-Soviet USSR "left lines" were strung in many cities to connect to main lines that would be hot when lots of other lines were cold most of the time. Power generation could be spotty in many places. Ditto water pressure, of course. Always checked and if there was water flowing you'd fill the buckets that were thoughtfully provided, plus a bathtub if there was one.

Contractor on a work site showed me a mason jar full of huge placer gold - those nuggets looked like thumb-drop cookies - roll a decent sized ball of dough and mash your thumb into the middle - that big.
The expense they went to to get at that placer likely cost $10 grand.

There was a huge chain reaction car wreck on the 401 in Southern Ontario one year when there was really heavy fog. At least 50 vehicles.

They have blade brakes now for table saw that can stop the saw in a tiny fraction of a second. Surely some analog of that technology could be applied to wood chippers and other inherently dangerous machines. Perhaps some sort of guard around the chute opening, that if pressed with sufficient force, would close a switch and fire a powder-actuated brake wedge to stop the drum in a quarter revolution. Use shear pins in the drive from motor to the drum, so if the drum got stopped by brake, the pins would shear, and the motor could continue to run, unharmed.

MkY can tell you better than I, my experience was a long time ago and I'm sure safety features have greatly improved since then. But some stuff is just inherently dangerous. The whole point of a chainsaw is to have an exposed chain driven set of blades. And if you are going to chip big pieces of trees they gotta get in there some how.
I actually loved the job. Got to be outside playing with all kinds of toys. Also taught me to give a lot of respect to the guys who do it.

Don't neglect the geochemical aspect of some gold placers. There is pretty good evidence that some bacteria in the soil can create a local reducing environment that causes gold to precipitate out of solution, and actually "gold-plate" the microbes. Uranium is another metal that can be reduced out solution by decaying organic matter.

Women don't, usually, think horrid pain is funny. Men like watching the three stooges, but women? Not so much. Just doesn't tickle the funny bone.
Likewise, women will never know what it is like to be kicked in the balls. Just as men will never know what it is like being a woman, no matter how many perverts claim they "feel like a woman." What they feel is a parody of being a woman, not the actual experience.

Had dinner and put away most of the stuff in the suitcases. The cats remember me after the trip, but Stirling is being nearly as aloof as Dagny. I guess he's switched his allegiance to Linda from me. I'll have to win him back (read: bribe him).

I've tried multiple times to read her stuff. It just does not hold my interest, even when she's trying (in a literary fashion, natch) to emulate a horror story or a fantasy. Like a lot of literary types, she gets some of the tropes right, but fails on the background, or at making the story gripping on some level.
Huxley managed it with Brave New World, and there have been a few others who succeeded. But most often when literary types try to do genre, it doesn't come off.

Hydraulic mined, 1920's - 1930's. Sluice box was in a hard-rock tunnel at the south end, that emptied into the Quesnel River. Salmon runs on the river actually improved during the mine's life, as the turbidity made it harder for trout to prey on the baby salmon heading to the ocean.

My granddaughters and I have tiaras and we wear them whenever we feel like it (ok, the 8mo old wears a string of fake pearls on her lovely head and now tries to eat them). The 5yr old and I rock tiaras and believe they improve your mood.
I want Queen Camilla to get some new ones out we haven't ever seen in the UK. Time's a wasting! I realize the Princess of Wales is restricted to those she wears, but as Queen, rock on!
