#MineralMonday contribution
For #MineralMonday, a wee bowl of peridot (olivine) I dug out of the world-class #peridot deposits on San Carlos Apache land east of Phoenix, AZ. We were invited and accompanied to the mining/claim site by a tribal member with tribal permission, which we were told is pretty rare. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a great honor, and an incredible day.
@LouisIngenthron @taz This was an interesting thread. I lean toward @LouisIngenthron's viewpoint from my own observations. The future gets here much quicker than anyone seems to realize. Oh look it's here.
Oh neat, Markdown support is new since I last used Mastodon! Maybe I can use *italics* and horizontal separators

A link should be like [hafnium oxide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafnium_oxide):
> It is an electrical insulator with a band gap of 5.3~5.7 eV.
And preformatted text should be like
x = 1:10
@MadVikingGod @vwbusguy maybe the more interesting question.
People wanting content and people who want to make content - getting those groups together isn't bad in and of itself. The how part is and will be interesting to see.
One possible outcome that I would enjoy is that the quality of the content improves. And quality content should _make it easier_ to find an audience. Once they find each other.. they can work it out.
A perfect fall day coming to a close. The high today was 41. A good day to stay inside and make soup, especially when the #chanterelles are starting to show up at the market.

Rotate your mattress and guest Wi-Fi keys at least twice a year 🙂
@PawelK turnabout is fair play
Here is an #introduction
I'm here because while I'm pretty social, previous social media hasn't worked out for me. But happy to try again.
I'm all bout the #PNW, very strong feelings about the #timbers, huge #soccer fan in general which I picked up living in #Europe and #Australia.
#VFX and #CGI refugee, Had the privilege to work on both #Starwars and #StarTrek films, and definitely have a preference. Trekkie here. I will die on that hill. But absolutely can't be bothered arguing with anyone about it.
Like many people I like many things. Here's one:
#Cooking makes me happy. Thrilled to live in the PNW with the access to all the wonderful produce we have.
When I root I root for the Timbers! #RCTID
