That's a pretty good guess, but it also has grains of sand in it. I expected slag to be more uniform.

Anyway, the red and orange colors could still be connected with some iron compounds. If it is slag, then it was somehow mixed with regular sand. That could still happen if you pour molten slag on a new dump area. The later batches will be poured on older slag, so they don't really get to mix with anything.

There are infinitely many ways to live a nice life and infinitely many ways to suffer. Every possibility happens and is equally real and important. If you save one universe from a horrible doom, there are always more that will suffer an even worse fate.

The multiverse is truly vast place, so anything you do or don’t do is less than a drop in the ocean. What matters is how your decisions and interactions affect you.

The best I can do, is to steer it slowly. For me, it’s always been the inferior option when compared to a regular touchpad.

Although, I do se the benefit of the central positioning when you need to type more and you don’t want to move your fingers from the home row just to click something quickly.

It’s fine. Takes some time to get used to. Some people really love it, but I don’t think it’s that great.

Weld them together to make some nearly indestructible art.

You can also paint them for fun.

And I thought the railway rifle was a creative weapon.

Actually now that you put it that way, this is beginning to sound a lot like the cold war.

I’m a very picky hippie when it comes to dimensions.

In the previous world wars there were various alliances between many countries, but eventually two sides emerged. If you see two clear sides engaging in active warfare against each other, you'll know that WW3 has started. At the moment, it's a bit more complicated than that. Seems to me that there are a bunch of disconnected conflicts going on, but the big picture of a proper world war hasn't really emerged yet.

In 2001 there was that 9/11 thing and it sounded like WW3 had just started. Turns out, it didn't. Well, lots of things did happen as a result of it, but WW3 wasn't one of them. Soon after that, USA was involved in a number of wars in the middle east and it felt like WW3 had just started. Again, it didn't. Some time around 2010s the tension between North Korea and South Korea was getting pretty intense, and a friend of mine started talking WW3... As usual, WW3 didn't start.

At the moment, the situation in Ukraine feels just like all the other major incidents, but we'll see how it works out. If you expose your mind to tabloid journalism, it begins to feel like the entire world is about to explode. History has a tendency of repeating itself, so I suggest reading about the things that lead to WW1 and WW2. Once, you've done that, you'll begin to pay attention to certain signs and start ignoring most of the nonsense tabloids keep writing about.

What if there’s an earthquake and you get stuck under a mountain of rubble? Could take months for you to get out of there. How about a skiing accident involving an avalanche? Could take even longer. When you are completely immortal, you suddenly start to view certain risks in a very different way.

Just so you know, PRC is not a very inclusive place. Have a look at this article for more info.
