Alternative
So your mommy and your teachers said you can be anything you want to be, to which you said, I want to be an astronaut. Well reality bites, the US space program devolves and dreams fade.
But buck up bubby, there's an alternative, you can be an aquanaut. You can be a Saturation Diver. Quote:

This guy, Steven Mis????? ovich, set,at the time a world record for underwater pipe welds. He stopped diving when someone cut his air off. I welded with him for Brown & Root. Think was 1979.
Not too long after, he passed away from Leukemia. Think his estate got bucks from B&R

88, but I haven't saved that much money. I might have to sell a kidney to finance the last decade.

90. That's a long sentence. I could get time off for bad behavior.

Melancholy Accidents, is a collection of newspaper clippings from the 17 and 18 hundreds. Apparently it was a common practice to call accidental shootings, melancholy accidents.

Some cool examples of minerals or materials with amazing properties. Crystals that melt in your hand, liquid that freezes as you pour it onto a surface, powders that explode when tickled with a feather...
