Venus has completely resurfaced from vulcanism within the last 600 million yrs or so. There are huge pillow lavas everywhere. Your source quoted above is 40 yrs out of date. However: there is no plate tectonics on Venus because the planet lost all its water quite some time ago and it turns out you need water to keep the plates ductile. So the crust locked up and it's just "episodic crustal evolution" ever since.

Damn if you froze that lake and put a couple of polar bears in there it'd look like a pint-sized Baffin Island

nonmagnetic material can still be electrically conductive eg: pyrite

yeah, the scouring of the shire is tolkein's protest against industrial society represented by saruman! also saruman is the best-cast character in the movie except maybe for aragorn and gollum.

Explain what you mean by "necessary but not sufficient" you lost me there Oh well anyway it's cause the core of Venus might be iron sulfate like a giant pyrite crystal, and hence non-magnetic

return of the snaffle

You're still stumped over how Venus can have active vulcanism but no magnetic field aren't ya

Hey Sprayton have you tried Russian mail order? You can probably even get a Titanium one from Irbis

Dwayner is an archaeologist we could ask him if he wasn't banned

Some wise words here and what was said could also apply to avalungs and airbags and the latest greatest technology. Also none of those gadgets helps much when an avalanche carries you over a cliff or into a tree at high speed. The best way to avoid avalanche burial is to not get caught in one in the first place, eg: skiing groomed runs or staying at home or whatever if that's what it takes. Also following the conditions as they evolve, being aware of microterrain features, snowpack structure at various scales, blah blah etc.

Well see they logged off the forests in the middle east and never replanted, and overgrazed, and farmed the fields without fallowing or fertilizing properly, and look what you get : a desert! A good example of early human-induced climate change.

well what the hell some arborist told me that the cedars of lebanon were deodars and he obviously hoaxed me good! unless it turns out that the librani is the deodar like the arbutus is the madrone

The cedars of Lebanon WERE deodars Do ya think they had squirrels too?

Here is a method of transportation that could get you to New Zealand with NO greenhouse gas emissions!!!! The bike people make a big deal out of like 10% of people in a city commuting by bike; well in Auckland 25% of the population own sailboats. Highest % anywhere in the world, except for little villages of 10 boat owners in the san Juans or whatever . Hmmm, other benefits of sailing: sea legs. possibility of using cannons. call other people 'landlubbers". Potential sailormongering. Wire gate carabiners. Nautical knots never used in climbing. Parrot and eyepatch HARRRRRRR

Hey, ya ever hear of the "cedars of Lebanon"?

Hey timmy what do you think works better for getting the addict thru temporary spray cold turkey, gum or "the patch"?

There was an article about this in Scientific American like 4 years ago you geek-wannabes!

working is so much better than working out though

Talk about "not getting it" The scene: Banff 1998. Dru has caught a ride to the disneyland of the Cdn rockies with some friends going to Banff Fest (Dru is on his way to Calgary to visit a soon-to-be-ex girlfriend). Upon leaving his friends Dru is spotted in an elevator in Banff hotel by Maria Coffey. Dru has a big pack full of climbing gear and stuff. Maria: Hello, my name is Maria Coffey. Are you a climber? Dru: yes. Maria: How does your mother feel about you risking your life? who's jumping to conclusions here?

offensive

they seem to think so!
