Couldnāt resist 'shopping this Hawaii lava photo:
Man, to have this happen right down the street must be terrifying ā yet fascinating. Really bad for the 21 houses burned so far. Hope no gets hurt.
Or your ring, for that matter . . .
Thatās just obvious. How would you be able to retrieve the ring without the keys that were on it?
What about tungsten keys.
According to wolfram alpha magma is typically 700-1300Ā°c whereas tungsten melts at 3422Ā°c.
So theres that.
Assuming the keys would not sink immediately (YMMV depending on number of keys and decorative key fobs) and you had means to retrieve them, perhaps you could get by with just knocking off the residual laval after it has cooled.
But, if you had the forethought to have Tungsten Keys. And the forethought to have a key retrieval device handy, Iād assume you would not be the type to lose your keys in the MAGMA in the first place.
A whole lot of assumptions there though
I wonder if tungsten alpha says wolfram melts at 3422Ā°C.
I actually went there as a matter of curiosity . . . . hoping that my antivirus would stand the strain. Seemed like an innocuous list of tungsten/wolfram properties, by someone with a sense of humor.
Mum How are you liking it down the mine, Ken?
Ken Oh itās not too bad, mumā¦ weāre using some new tungstencarbidewolfram drills for the preliminary coal-face scouring operations.
Mum Oh that sounds nice, dearā¦
Dad TungstencarbideWolfram drills! What the bloody hellās tungstencarbidewolfram drills?
Ken Itās something they use in coal-mining, father.
Dad (mimicking) āItās something they use in coal-mining, fatherā. Youāre all bloody fancy talk since you left London.
Ken Oh not that again.
Mum Heās had a hard day dearā¦ his new play opens at the National Theatre tomorrow.
I hope he doesnāt expect those plants to survive to the ending of the termā¦
Iām sure after theyāre dead the next class project can be an in-depth look at the statistics of random coin flips.
Minor quibble: that looks like Tunisian crochet to me, not knitting.
If you zoom in, you can see the needle points and the second needle. Itās mostly hidden under his puffy jacket.
Ah. So it is.
From the picture it looked like one long hooked needle, not two long pointed needles.
But it got me to look up āTunisian crochetā, which has improved my knowledge and thus my day!
Tunisian crochet uses a longer hook, so it can be used on longer stitch chains than traditional crochet. Itās also a hook and not a needle, so each row can be a chain of stitches instead of just a single stitch like in knitting. The result looks like a hybrid between knitting and crocheting. Itās very good for Afghan blankets.
