3:40 AM Vitamin C deficiency. Oops! That's me. The reason for all the pains and infections.

3:45 I use DIY patches. The reason i do this. Whatever patches are available, they have a very small amount.

However absorption of vitamin C is much slower than let's say... aspirin. Aspirin with my patches goes away in about 12 hours, vitamin C, it takes days, up to a week. How do i know. Aspirin tablets in a patch turn to dust and have no sour taste in about 12  hours.

How i do. I use 2x3 inches. Then i apply some whatever hand lotion or anti-itch lotion i have handy to coat the pad in the middle of the patch. Carefully  not to contaminated the adhesive area. I use coarse sandpaper (yes, sandpaper!) to flatten the oval 500 mg tablets on one side and remove the coating, sandpaper on the table, face up, then i rub the tablet a bit against it. A few times will suffice.

Then i apply the tablets parallel to each other with the side that has not been sanded on the lotion (i use the whole little pad for 4 tablets of 500 mg each). The purpose of the lotion is to keep the tablets there until you can apply them, otherwise it is very difficult with more than one tablet, they will fall. 4 tablets will create a contact area about half the size of a regular patch.

Very important. I rub with alcohol an area twice as big on a shoulder to take the skin oils out. No need to do it if you just took a shower. This way, the patch will stay for days.

If i taste the tablets after 4-5 days, the sour taste is about 1/4 the intensity at the beginning. So it looks like i get 3/4 of 500 mg a day or something like that.

But absorption rate varies a lot depending. If you sweat, water will dissolve whatever active ingredient and will go faster in your boy. Or if  you take a shower and wet the patch which is semi-permeable, etc..  

12:18 The pink stain. On top of astronomical factors of course (Moon at apogee, full moon) and already low pressure.

1:26 How about... (Again when the conditions are right).

2:32 Gata știu. Cutremurul din România din 4 martie 1977 care a fost un cutremur de adâncime, generat nu de fierberea apei termale la o scădere a presiunii ca la cele de suprafață (Banat (lat), stânga în diagrame, Grecia) ci de o schimbare de fază în magmă la o creștere de presiune (posibil înghețare).

Luna se afla la apogeu (362 mii km) adică cel mai aproape (aproximativ), și era plină, deci pe partea Pământului opusă Soarelui. Pământul era în elongație maximă pe direcția Soare Lună, cu vârful "oului" îndreptat spre Lună, coborând în același timp scoarța în zona din mijloc (pentru păstrarea volumului), adică în zona de apus de Soare și răsărit de Lună, mărind presiunea și declanșând o înghețare într-o bulă magmatică din zona seismică, cu mărire explozivă de volum.

Condițiile sunt exact opusul celor pentru cutremure de suprafață. Presiune relativ ridicată, greutatea precipitațiilor. (Temperatura la limita înghețului favorizează precipitații la presiuni mai ridicate). 

4:21 Da știu bulevardul Maghieru.

11:36 Two millions in 2024.

11:41 According to this USGS site, tectonic plates that make the crust of the Earth are single gigantic pieces of rock. Up to 200 km in height and the size of continents. According to this theory, they are like ice on a lake. However in other sites the crust is described as rocks, plural.

Volcanos are bubbles of lava that are pushed up by convection currents that burst on the surface.

Stratovolcanos,  the most common type. According to this image, the "oceanic plate" coming from left bends and gets under the "continental plate". But how can it bend if it's solid rock?

And how can a stratovolcano like Yellowstone can exist in the middle of a plate?

Yes, if they were solid plates they would not change the pressure in the bubble of magma due to factors like gravity of Moon or Sun or changes in atmospheric pressure.

According to other theories, crust is a semi-solid agglomeration of rocks and some areas of it move against others due to horizontal convection currents. Again, in this image the "slabs" get bent.

The reason the curst cannot be made of such gigantic pieces of solid rock is simple. They are not like ice floating on a lake but more like ice flowing in a river.
