In which I find a weird PDF from the past
“Feasibility Study of Mining Coal in an Oxygen Free Atmosphere; A Demonstration of a New Mining Technique to Prevent the Formation of Mine Acid in an Active Deep Mine: Phase I”
The miner in the proposed process must work in an atmosphere that will have less than 0.1% oxygen and will be at 100% relative humidity. The life support system thus must not only supply breathing oxygen but must remove carbon dioxide all without contributing significantly to the oxygen content in the mine.
The idea was to avoid acid mine drainage by excluding the oxygen that oxidizes the pyrites to produce the sulfates by simple mining in inert gas with the miners wearing life support suits. This has real “guys will write a long proposal for coal mining in inert atmospheres before going to therapy” energy. 1970 was a weird time in environmentalism!

Imagine getting advice from mom
I was trying on some clothes in a shop today and overheard presumably mom-and-little-daughter talking in an adjacent fitting room and mom was explaining something about wearing shorts under a dress to avoid display of underwear in case of gust of wind or sudden urge to do a cartwheel. It was adorable and also on the one hand mom explaining practical stuff to a little kid so they don’t have to just trial and error it out by themselves is great and seems like something that must happen, but also, obviously, my mom never explained any such things to me! Indeed, not explaining such things seemed like sort of the goal of parenting!

This came to me in a dream
“I’m in malloc dot h.”
This came to me in a dream. It was a very lesbian dream. I was on my back in bed, a woman was on top straddling me, and … we had all our clothes on and we were telling each other jokes about Tom Scott and, apparently, C. (I know the real transbian stereotype is rust, but I’m old and we lived dangerously back in the day.)
