apparently they shut down airspace over Wright-Patterson AFB Friday night because there were a bunch of drones 🤷
article includes audio of air traffic chatter mentioning the drones
The method involves injecting finely ground iron ore powder into an extremely hot furnace, triggering an “explosive chemical reaction”, according to the engineers involved in the project.
The result is a display of bright red, glowing liquid iron droplets that rain down and collect at the bottom of the furnace, forming a stream of high-purity iron that can be directly used for casting or “one-step steelmaking”.
that is so fucking cool!!! can't wait for "How It's Made"-style videos about it
they don't even need coal for this process!! this is so exciting!
The new method also works exceptionally well for low or medium-yield ores that are abundant in China, according to the researchers.
Existing iron production methods depend heavily on high-yield ores, and China spends a huge amount of money importing these ores from Australia, Brazil and Africa.
🤩 more of it, better quality, for less money?!
look at them go! hot damn 
can I donate this one for poking? I've been sharpening it
once I learned what an IUD was and how they were inserted, I was pretty shocked that anyone ever gets them
people are told to take a motrin for procedures which sample or pass through the cervix! That's not negligent, that's sadism!
I had a colposcopy done for an abnormal pap in my early 20s and was instructed to take ibuprofen for it and wear a pad because there would likely be bleeding.
the doctor was kind enough to describe the procedure and show me the tools (speculum and a curette that resembled a tiiiiiny ice cream scoop) and turn the screen so I could watch the sample being collected, so I can say that I have actually seen my own cervix with my own eyes.
it was not a good time, ~~but~~ and yet idk if the procedure was more painful than the surprise $750 bill from the pathologist that followed
Pcos and endo are kind of a personal crusade for me because they're common conditions that cause an immense amount of suffering for a huge number of people. Endo and pcos should be first priority topics for medical research. Effective treatment or cure would be a historic victory and alleviate untold suffering across the face of the world.
YES YES YES
Instead, at least in my experience, they're widely unknown conditions. Countless people with debilitating or even disabling periods are told to take motrin and endure the agony. It is, pardon my french, completely fucked.
couldn't agree more.
thank you for posting this ❤️
some people will put into published writing the kinds of thoughts I would be mortified to whisper
wouldn't consuming them actually make her transphilic?
where's mine? I've seen none of them 💅
the assessment report is THIRTEEN PAGES
🤯
just so fucking weird to read about myself in this way. when it's depersonalized like this, I feel really bad for this lady, but when I'm living it, I fucking hate her.
wild how much of a difference third-person language makes.
being forced to be nonconsensually vegan by PTSD is literally the very least of what that fucker deserves
it is incredible that you have suffered such horrifying tragedy and have room in your heart to feel anything at all for hurricane victims on the other side of the world.
you have the largest, strongest heart. ❤️
may Allah keep you safe.

so this means no constitutional convention, too, right?
