I could probably do that, no problem.

There's an article by a chemist that claims they probably used too much copper sulfate, then tried to fix it by dumping in more chemicals hence the color and smell. I'd link but phone posting

quote:

So let’s review the clues: first, the water is green. Second, there have been complaints that “the whole building smells like a fart” or like raw sewage.

Based on this information, I think that the green pool water is the result of excessive copper sulfate in the water. Copper sulfate — copper(II) sulfate or copper sulfate pentahydrate — is a blue crystal that is used in tiny quantities to control the growth of green algae in large public pools and in municipal water supplies. Homeowners with smaller pools may also use it periodically for the same reason. Although copper sulfate is poisonous for algae and fish and other small living things, it won’t cause health problems for people — if it’s used in small doses.
When copper(II) sulfate is added to water, it dissolves quickly. The copper ions combine with four chlorine ions in the water, creating a copper(II) tetrachloro complex, which is green, and if it’s present in high enough concentrations, it turns the water green. The sulfate ions are reduced to hydrogen sulfide, a poisonous stinky gas, which is the source of the rotten egg smell associated with raw sewage and farts.

I think there's a Neil Gaiman novel where it's featured as a work of Satan.

But really, it's not that bad when you conceptualize it.

it's an injoke

btw. I recognize that bell tower, it's Kizhi, an UNESCO world heritage site built purely out of wood, including wooden nails



it's a miracle that it hasn't burned down in 300 years, including WW2 when it was at the frontline

Ok... movie pitch idea here: cybernetic meteor aliens are threatenaing the Earth. The only people who can team up and save the day are Kresoan, Photonic Induction, and Vsauce.

And maybe iDubbbz for some edgy comic relief. Just spitballing this here.

What exactly is that substance? It looks a terrifying amount like some sort of white hot metal.

What that doesn't cover is that the British already considered a failed nose gear so they had designed the nose to take relatively minimal damage in such a landing even without a stool.

Then there is this...

They don't make them like they use to. It returned to service until it got put into a museum. A F35 would shred itself like tin foil.

This is the guy running the stream when he walked out to the flow last evening.


The camera is a bit over a half mile from the fissure and the telephoto lens flattens the perspective. The plumes are ~150ft high.



Stream just restarted:

6AM local. Fissure 20 in view. Rusty is awakening.

Anthony, aka Civil Beat, is back on the main island so don't expect them to pan around the camera to show off the laze coming off the ocean or fissure 17 as much as he did this weekend. The other folks staying at the house are as interested in interacting with chat as much as he was.

It might be, it does look larger than it was a few days ago, but don't trust chat. 350ft would be a freefall of 4.75 seconds. I'm clocking it closer to 175ft.

Just a heads up: 4chan quite active in the chat. They do have a nice information directory though: http://happdir.com/KVG/kvgdir.html
