What the hell am I looking at?
you should check for balrogs in your vagina
Does the free PC check help in any way with that?
It’s free
I’ve been wondering how much deeper we could make it with the advances in materials tech.
The biggest issues are heat around the head, since it’s getting super hot down that far, as well as twisting the bit without warping the shaft. By the time the energy is transferred across that much piping, things tend to get very twisty.
I bet by now we could easily drill into the hollow earth!
Xkcd did this a couple of weeks ago https://youtu.be/r7B0MzvwDcA
That was at a specific rate though, and assumed you were needing to be present on the digging device.
Might make sense to just have the motor at the bottom of the drill, then you just need to supply power and coolant down. Need to anchor into something though so it actually does anything and doesn’t just spin the cables
The issue was that the drill broke. And fixing that would have been a lot of effort.
Ma always said that Balrogs have toothaches, and that’s why they’re so darn grumpy all the time.
Everybody needs to go look up the etching on the back of the second record of The Mountain Goats’ album Dark In Here
Underground dwellers stopped them.
