I like to think of it more like a knock off dean koontz novel where this guy was fighting his way through demons to get into the caves to destroy the portal to the demon hell world and failed

I was watching some Micheal Brooks live stream thinking “he looks like he caught Covid” and a month later had a brain aneurysm. it’s no big mystery how a bunch of people died during a pandemic.

I always thought it strange how they said Michael Brooks died from a blood clot in his 30s.

A kid in a class of mine also died of a blood clot shortly after getting over Covid. He couldn’t have been older than his late 20s.

Yeah my dad's a retired doc who did a lot of epidemiology and when I mentioned what happened to Michael he was kind of flummoxed by the whole thing. Now it makes a LITTLE more sense given the cardiovascular impacts that COVID seems to bring with it, but it's still super weird.

skimming though Cyclonopedia introduced me to the DEEP HOT BIOSPHERE
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.89.13.6045

there's a 25 year anniversary journal article on it too
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1701266114#core-r1

quote:

Gold believed that biology is just a branch of thermodynamics, being supported by energy in disequilibria in chemical reactions that would otherwise equilibrate if they were not held up by kinetic or mechanistic traps (5). To this end, the chemical energy available inside a planetary body would have been the first energy source, and solar energy, carbon fixed through photosynthesis, was a later adaptation of life (3). Although revolutionary in the infancy of the proposal, and not entirely unfounded in the scientific literature (6), informatics, geochemical, and isotopic evidence now provide evidence to support this view (7). Controversially, Gold also believed that oil and gas, which have fueled modern industrial nations for the past century, were born out of the Big Bang and were incorporated into the Earth’s crust at the time of the Earth’s coalescence 4.5 billion years ago. Gold arrived at this conclusion from the humble observation that meteorites and other planetary bodies contain abundant and compositionally diverse hydrocarbons (e.g., the methane lakes of the Jovian moon Titan), begging the question as to why hydrocarbons in the deep subsurface of Earth need to have a different origin (2). Bondi thought that this proposal in geology was Gold’s most important intervention to a field outside his own (4). Although speculation surrounding the formation of oil and gas has resulted in significant debate within the geosciences, the idea of abundant abiogenic hydrocarbons percolating upward had perhaps an even more profound influence on the biosciences by providing impetus to understand how such compounds could fuel a deep, hot biosphere since early in Earth history. Much of the debate concerning the presence of mantle-sourced hydrocarbons has been settled since Gold’s initial proposals, including evidence that mantle-sourced hydrocarbons in crustal environments are likely to be far less abundant than originally proposed (8, 9).

peak oil isnt a myth tho, peak oil is very real and oil companies want you to believe peak oil is a myth

people get resource and reserve confused which is part of the slight of hand that oil companies do to try to pretend peak oil isnt real

Some of the first set immediately around the explosion kinda look like they could just be sparks, but then after the shockwave and camera zooms out there's definitely pixel flashes

this is what i meant by people confusing resource and reserves. because our society is economic brained, we define the amount of resource available by the economic availability of that resource. so if the price of oil rises, the oil resource quantity rises too. it isn't that there is significant new oil being created underground, it is that our definition of what oil is gettable changes and so there's more oil "available." it is the same oil that's always been there but now it counts because it could be profitably extracted.

Yes in the 70s/80s when peak oil was a bigger concept, things like fracking, tar sands, shale oil werent considered viable reserves because they were too expensive to access and the technology wasn't there to extract from them. That changed in the 2000s as prices rose and extraction tech got more advanced. At the end of the day peak oil is all about EROEI, imo*

*I studied geology in school but did not do any petrogeology so i dont know if my explanation is completely on point. I was more interested in hydrogeology, glaciers, and climate.

gotta have my purp
ionizing radiation would effect the entire field of view as soon as its released. what those videos show are sparkles/glinting around the area of the explosion a few seconds after the detonation. you can also see some material getting blown out in the initial detonation at like 3/4 seconds that looks like little sparkles. all the things in the videos that look close to radiation artifacts look like they're actual physical objects and not artifacts. compare to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmSydErHvWw or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf4Ux4SlyT4
