In IT by necessity, a geologist by training. In the conundrum of too many mineral, rock, and fossil specimens and, yet, not enough. Really love carbonates, hypabyssal and ancient rocks.

Last Notes npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium That wasn't related to the recent New Glenn launch explosion? npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Good question. I see they are at it again so it must have survived the first *ahem* round: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000tgf0/executive npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium I didn't realize that this is a thing: https://www.navymarinespeciesmonitoring.us/news/uss-gerald-r-ford-conducts-final-shock-trial-explosive-event/ npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium He has all the prognostication abilities of a magic 8 ball. On his best day. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Thanks for the heads up. Wish they gave more information about affected versions. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Very nice! npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Hardcoded creds! :picardfacepalm: npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium 1366 days, 8.10. Not accessible from the Internet. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium I use check-update and info frequently. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium In terms of usefulness it's been in steep decline as of late. This is it going over the edge into nonfunctional. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium While it is not a quasicrystal, the mineral vaterite has an unusual structure https://www.mindat.org/min-4161.html npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Never heard of molybdenum bronzes before. Really interesting. Thanks! npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium You should check out zeolites, feldspathoids, and melanophlogite https://www.mindat.org/min-2630.html. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium OMG. Expecting a coherent plan from dimentia Don 🤣🤣🤣 npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium The Tucson shows are over 😢. Here's some things I ran across. A large specimen of "fuchsite" with garnet from Brazil, a large crystal of feldspar, also from Brazil, and a bunch of weathered chondritic meteorites from northwest Africa. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Fuck ICE. Fuck DHS. Fuck Nazis. Keep up the good fight🙏 npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Almost wish I did business with Amazon, so I could quit. I am sure this "documentary" is pure codswallop mixed with gallons of whitewash. 🤮 npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Will no one think of the little dogs? npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium I love the trend for gasoline only vehicles 🎉. Wish it was the same in the US, but we're currently stuck in 1939... npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium This letter is disgusting 🤮 npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Awesome 🎉 npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium The information I found said that they are indeed related. Those columnar basalts are one of the things I do miss about Idaho/eastern Washington. Loved the scablands and palouse hills as well. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Those are the Columbian river flood basalts. They poured out of many feeder dikes, mostly in eastern Washington. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River_Basalt_Group npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Those reeds look like phragmites to me. Invasive, unfortunately. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmites npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Biden should have stuck to his statement of being a one term president. We might have had a cookie cutter, old white male as a Democratic president and the orange buffoon in prison. Yeah, I know, no judge would actually toss T. Rump in prison, but I can dream... npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium I have heard of graphene and was considering it. I decided to go with this project instead: https://www.braxtech.net/. Would love a full blown Linux on a phone, like what Ubuntu was trying back in the day. I think Fedora is working on this currently. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium This is why I wish there was a viable Linux phone. All the big tech companies view their users as a resource to be used as they see fit. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium The IDF can rot in hell. Along with Netanyahu. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium Also 💯 that Trump is a hugely lusting after Putin. Don't want to mess up the orange blobs love connection, so they do their master's bidding. Beyond disgusting and reprehensible. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium They'll still be investigating as the next 🤡's administration is almost over. Have to wonder what Putin has on the GOP... npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium If the delusional Nazi manages to actually produce this, it will kill a whole lot of MAGAts. They'll be lining up to ride in those death traps. npub1sfqm3jpr393jel4jlqusxxg7m6xdspu9cu7mu75kj2jzfc2pt3lsu8hzmm Thorium I have a small ametrine slice. It is incredible under a polariscope, the amethyst and citrine areas go extinct at different rotations.
