I love baths, but it sounds like I approach then a bit differently than you do - I’m usually sitting up (and sometimes leaning back on a towel), I always add something to the water (bath salts/oils/bombs/bubble bath etc), I always have something cold… [more]

That's a lot of open pit mines. This concept does not have merit. Even assuming such mines were a requirement, tectonic activity or simple erosion could totally obliterate a mine on the time scales we're talking about, or at least render… [more]

If I remember correctly, when Buffy and Roswell moved to UPN it was basically unprecedented for a currently airing show to switch networks. Now of course it’s totally commonplace, but those two shows are kinda what made it a viable option initially. [more]

You can eat it - or use it, but you don’t have much! If you melted all that down it would be like a couple square centimeters. The way to do it would be to crush it up a bit, let it drain, and then heat very gently in a container you don’t care about… [more]
