am i insane or should masks be mandated for hospitals as a permanent installation. a forever institution. always. covid is an irrelevant factor when hospitals are always full of both very sick and very immunocompromised people..?

i’ve just found about synthetic quartz, which like, i knew it existed, but the way they make it is by holding a 50ft tower full of quartz slurry and corrosive chemicals at extremely high pressures and temperatures for like 5 months. and this produces a single, 50ft tall, quartz crystal. which they then… just… cut into slices?? this is, of course, in ideal circumstances, assuming the whole thing doesn’t explode which is the consumer safety board incident report i’m watching

being a trek fan is hilarious bc u can point at a barely human looking character and say “yeah thats blorp from the planet zeep and they’re so fuckable” to fellow trek fans, but if u said that to non trek fans u would end up on an fbi watchlist

The difference between Gul Dukat and Kai Winn is that Dukat I love to see on screen but would hope to never meet in real life, whereas Winn I want to meet for the express purpose of punching her in the face

From an excellent post by Jason Davis

From Washington, D.C., the rings would only fill a portion of the sky, but appear striking nonetheless. Here, we see them at sunrise.

From Guatemala, only 14 degrees above the equator, the rings would begin to stretch across the horizon. Their reflected light would make the moon much brighter.

From Earth’s equator, Saturn’s rings would be viewed edge-on, appearing as a thin, bright line bisecting the sky.

At the March and September equinoxes, the Sun would be positioned directly over the rings, casting a dramatic shadow at the equator.

At midnight at the Tropic of Capricorn, which sits at 23 degrees south latitude, the Earth casts a shadow over the middle of the rings, while the outer portions remain lit.

I didn’t know I wanted earth to have rings but now I know and am sad
