I have a cube of tungsten at work that is 40mm x 40 mm, it is comedically heavy. This thing would be nuts.

This is known as a thought terminating cliché. They can be more than just annoying. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_cliché

This is such a shame, I love Neal’s Yard. You go in there, and they just keep handing you little pieces of different delicious cheeses until you crumble and give them all of your money. It’s such a charming way of doing things, I overspend every single time, and never regret it.

Probably on YouTube then, I’ll track him down :)

That looks fascinating! Pricey on the second hand market it seems. I’ll have to shop around. Thanks, great counterpoint.

This book Tells you how to handle this, along with everything else you need to know to rebuild all systems in society from scratch should there be some sort of time machine based accident. It’s a good read!
