‘Fallout 76’ is a Humdrum Skinner Box Set in the End Times | Road Surface Shot Blasting Machine

Dread. That’s the word so many people use to describe Thumper, and its meant in the best way possible. In this lightning-fast game the anxiety builds as you gather speed and smash into corners, trying to stay alive on a terrifying journey through a dizzying world. If the intense regular levels don’t get you to shake with nerves then the massive boss battles most certainly will. Safe to say that Thumper’s brand of terror won’t be for everyone, then, but those that do take it on will be rewarded with enormous satisfaction too.

The sheer size of the journey set in slowly for me. As the miles rolled past, the visible land and sky seemed to grow. Crossing the Yukon River is the first major landmark heading north on the Haul Road. The bridge is huge in a modern way, nearly half a mile long and 15 or 20 stories above the water, topped with a ripped-up wooden deck that’s replaced every decade or so. The river is broad, and almost 2,000 miles long. Cruising over it on what feels like the deck of a 200-year-old ship turned out to be a good characterization of how epic and ancient Alaska feels in person.

Eichelberger hopes to get cores down to nearly pure melt, which would look like solid glass when cooled. But his team will use much larger and more powerful drill rigs, probably capable of blasting 30 to 40 liters of water per second, said Sveinbjorn Holmgeirsson, owner of an engineering consulting business called GeoEnergy in Reykjavik and part of the Krafla Magma Testbed team.

In February 1962, the third annual City Women’s Bowling Tournament was under way at Sunset Bowl in Richmond. The two-day competition, organized by the Greater Richmond Woman’s Bowling Association, drew almost 80 teams. The Security Industrial Loan team won.

"As long as you’re circulating enough fluid, the drill bit itself doesn’t know that it’s super hot out there," said Eichelberger. "It doesn’t even know it’s liquid, because you’re quenching this stuff to glass ahead of the drill bit."But no one conducted such experiments in the IDDP Krafla well before it was sealed. The glassy drill cuttings and measurements taken inside the well shaft provided tantalizing bits of data, but those only raised new mysteries.For example, the temperature down the well rose far more suddenly than Eichelbeger or his colleagues would have expected, jumping from about 850 to about 1550 degrees Fahrenheit in the last 100 feet, said Yan Lavallee, a co-leader of the Krafla Magma Testbed project and also the chair of volcanology and magmatic processes at the University of Liverpool in England."That in itself defeats all of our models of how heat is transferred from the magma in the rock," said Lavallee.Another mystery is why the drill cuttings were almost all glass. Most geologists would expect magma near the top of a chamber to cool and crystallize, said Eichelberger. The absence of crystals may mean that the chamber roof is melting upward — or it may mean something else that they can’t yet predict.The answers to such questions could clarify general principles of how magma melts and moves, said Eichelberger. He hopes that such discoveries could be applied to other volcanoes around the world, leading to better monitoring and safety for the millions of people who live near an active volcano.Volcanoes with modern monitoring systems rarely erupt without warning, although there are exceptions, such as the Mount Ontake eruption that killed 31 hikers in Japan in 2014. But false alarms are still a major problem, triggering disruptive and potentially dangerous evacuations and reducing people’s confidence in future warnings, said Eichelberger. Moreover, Lavallee added, even if volcanologists can say when an eruption will happen, they often don’t know how."It’s like, ‘Oh yeah, magma is about it come out. But is it going to flow, or is it going to blow?’" he said.In some cases, said Lavallee, it may even be worth drilling into the magma chambers of other volcanoes that pose an eruption risk, and installing instruments to monitor activity at their source. Before any such project could move forward, however, researchers would have to reassure people that it would be safe.The IDDP well showed that magma can be drilled into safely at Krafla, but Eichelberger acknowledges that drilling in other volcanic areas could pose dangers. For example, magma wells could potentially release toxic hydrogen sulfide gas — a problem officials are currently struggling with as Kilauea’s ongoing eruption stirs up magma beneath the Puna Geothermal Venture plant in Hawaii.

Why you need it: You’ve seen these machines used to grind down trip hazards on sidewalks, or scratch up the surface when removing paint, planing off old asphalt, or diamond shaving or grinding down concrete surfaces. If you ever followed the wrong stripe out of your lane in a work zone, you fell victim to a stripe removed by a drum-style scarifier, planer, or groover. Since stripers normally own just one style of marking remover, it’s typically the drum-style scarifier. Commonly called a “grinder,” it removes the stripe by cutting a groove into the surface until the marking is gone

“Barbie Dreams,” the viciously funny third track on Nicki Minaj’s fourth album, Queen, was the one that got everyone talking. The song was inspired by the Notorious B.I.G.’s raunchy “Just Playing (Dreams),” from his debut album, 1994′s Ready to Die. Nicki’s song features the same hook and James Brown “Blues and Pants” sample, but while Biggie’s ran through all of the R&B females he wanted to sleep with, Nicki uses her verses to roast some famous rappers (and one football player). “Drake worth a hundred milli, always buying me shit/ But I don’t know if the pussy wet or if he crying and shit,” she spits, before going after Meek Mill, Lil Uzi Vert and many other collaborators and contemporaries. Diss track? No, sayeth the queen, though whether or not that lessened the sting of the slaps she delivered is still up for debate. – CHRISTINE WERTHMAN

In May 1967, with shovels at the ready, Richmond City Manager Horace Edwards (from left), Mayor Morrill Crowe, School Board Chairman Frank Calkins and Vice Mayor Winfred Mundle crossed East Broad Street in front of Old City Hall in downtown Richmond en route to the groundbreaking for new City Hall across the street.

There have a been a lot of bad video game movies — and a handful of gems. Where does the giant monster disaster movie “Rampage” land?

Very good. That was not the point of the question though. The point was that radiative transfer calculations are highly accurate. So why shouldn’t Feldman et al use them to analyze their data?

Cherry Picker, as I’ve noted for you several times – Feldman et al go to great lengths to deal with variations of the CO2, methane, and water concentrations and to ensure they can separate out the different spectral lines of the different molecules. The counterfactual spectra is just one step in that process and is proof of their sophistication and expertise in spectroscopy. To try to put this in lay terms – yes, the signal is noisy and it takes a good deal of effort and a hihg level of technical expertise to separate out the methane and the water signals
