Since October 2023, the rover has been exploring a region of Mars rich with sulfates, a kind of salt that contains sulfur and forms as water evaporates. But where past detections have been of sulfur-based minerals — in other words, a mix of sulfur and other materials — the rock Curiosity recently cracked open is made of elemental, or pure, sulfur. It isn’t clear what relationship, if any, the elemental sulfur has to other sulfur-based minerals in the area.
This is only tangential to the conversation but I always find it interesting that in US history, Abraham Lincoln’s campaign was pushing hard on the idea of ‘staying awake.’
Excellent write up and information, thanks! I too was oblivious to evaporative coolers when I was younger (grew up in a place with high humidity) and encountered them as an adult after moving to a drier place. They are surprisingly effective when maintained and conditions are right. I love the thought of using one to cool the AC radiator to increase capacity for cooling.
I had the “Hall and Oates” problem with Apple Music except instead of reverting to songs I had previously played a lot it reverts to songs they are trying to push. In my case it seemed like every playlist turned into hip hop in about 3 songs. Play Snoop Dogg? Turns into hip hop. Play Hans Zimmer, believe it or not - also hip hop.
The gameplay stuff (iirc) was pretty trivial things like better storage of guns, etc. Really nothing big. Since you’re so into BL2 I want to second what others said about the DLC - all of them are worth your time I believe but Torgue is fantastic and save Tiny Tina for last.
