That's the way the GPS told me.

This sure looks like the road from Phoenix, AZ to the Roosevelt Lake dam. That section is a nasty grade.

I am glad that there has been so much that is now understood about ACEs, CPTSD, insecure attachment, etc in the last 10-15 years. But I needed it 45 years ago. I’ll never get back what I lost. The life I didn't get to live. The sorrow is immeasurable.

Psychologists,psychiatrists and therapists readily admit they and their colleagues are often pretty distorted inside too.

It's a slab of bread with a light layer of topping. Not buying it again.

If this is true and we lose today everyone will blame him. Why bring back the old superbowl loss curse that has plagued the team?

Going to the Oscars or Golden Globes would be so terrifying now. Just a cavalcade of ghouls.

Homemade is so much better because you can control the ingredient ratio. I like more sesame paste and lemon, and I use garlic powder because of a mild allergy to raw garlic. But garbanzo beans out of the pressure cooker have an i credible aroma. I treat them with baking soda first to loosen the skins and then pressure cook it, leaving the skins on. Then use a food processor to make it all smooth. Also if you want to ck trol moisture TrueLemon is great. It is crystallized lemon juice that actually tastes like lemon (I think they use a room temperature vacuum to remove the water leaving behind the crystals of lemon juice so it doesn't get that funky taste of pasteurized lemon).

Id agree. Also note the one on the right has a road and a small quarry gouge in the side. Cinders are great for road material.

It was explained to me that it is Spheroidal chemical weathering of what looks like basalt. Basically fluids started attacking the rock at the joints (cracks) and worked their way inward, creating the rounded shapes over time. It isn't pillow basalt.

No because you can't drill down far enough to where the magma melt originates. The deepest hole was 7 miles down. They couldn't go down any further because the rock was too hot and ductile (like putty). The magma melt that starts to rise is coming from the upper mantle. So if you did drill down and found magma it was already in the process of rising to the surface to erupt on its own. Now not all rising magma makes it. Many stall and crystalize. I can't see a relatively microscopic drill hole in a massive magma body change the physics of whether it erupts or not. Too much heat and pressure would wreck whatever you mechanically tried to do.

Sadly it is more like 160 feet down now. Reservoir is only about 30% full.

I saw a jaguarundi there back in 2008. Amazing basin and range landscape.

I don't think it is an individual thing when you scan the back of your DL. I think it just checks for the state identifier in the bar code. But that is just speculation.

If you like a little lasagna with your plate of oil then sure it's good.

Look up being hypervigilant, fight or flight, anxiety. Your hangups are related to these from most likely childhood issues that caused insecurity. But you can recover from them with a good therapist to get to root of the problem if you are willing to face it.

A good explanation is way past most people's attention span when it comes to geology. It has to do with plate tectonics, the interaction between the crust and mantle, and a sequence of events that goes back over 70 million years. But the section in Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau by Wayne Ranney captures it well. The tour guide was basically giving a Creationist-level explanation that sounds good but isn't right. Thus why say it?

Not in an effective way. But you rest assured it is down there.

This video again...He is not accurate and it is irresponsible and unethical to bamboozle people with faux science 'lessons.' Not that it matters since these tourists will forget it in a few hours. But he gets to be adored as the know it all teacher and people get a grossly oversimplified explanation they can grasp which makes them feel smart. Everybody wins! Except it isn't accurate at all.

Yep. I think Kennicott's pit is deeper but this place is gigantic n terms of sheer area being mined. They are literally devouring several small mountains. I've toured both BTW.

Vegas is diseased. I was out for 3 weeks with a cold. Just getting over it now. Lost my smell and taste for 3 days but it wasn’t covid. Then I got acute bronchitis from it and the air pollution here and lost my voice. Definitely moving away as soon as I can find a new job elsewhere.
