    There was a major eruption on the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii 6 or 8 years ago. There is a video on YT of a guy walking out on the lava field with one of those thermal thermometers. even after that time there were hot spots on the surface and steam vents with gas coming out at 200+ degrees fahrenheit.

Normal is 25mm/week! My grass is brown and the only things I’m watering are the stuff in planters. And I use the water from my dehumidifier because it’s so bloody hot and humid here. Don’t swim but there’s a splash pad here that my grandkids enjoy more than swimming!

      Allowing parents to raise children during the critical year one is vital for healthy kids and society. The expense is not factoring in the wellbeing of the entire society. Healthy children lead to healthy societies. The conservative party sense opportunity with parents of toddlers. the game is afoot. USA is terrible with regard to maternity leave.

    Lava cools crazily slowly if it isn't in contact with the atmosphere or water. In 1959, a crater called Kilauea Iki erupted on Hawaii and formed a pool of lava 120m thick. It is estimated it did not entirely solidify until 1995 and the heart of the lava still somewhere over 500C.

    • @bevanderson6245
      @bevanderson6245 2 года назад +3

      I think Valur once said she's Border Collie and Corgi. The border collie fits; working dog breeds need to DO something, which is why Polly's a bit high strung. Even corgis were first developed for herding cattle by nipping at their feet. Thankfully, Polly has owners who understand her and keep her occupied chasing balls, frisbees, and such, especially outdoors where she can run to her heart's content, which keeps her temperament loving, happy, and sweet.
      Working dogs need something to do; otherwise they literally go crazy. It's cruel to keep big and working dogs in tiny apartments with nothing to do; that's why they become destructive. Somewhere on RUclips are a couple of documentaries about dogs, from the domestication of wolves to different dog breeds, how the various breeds were developed for working dogs, for hunting dogs, for show dogs, etc. With that much selective breeding it's the fault of humans that there are vicious dog breeds.
