Amazing to realise that it’s extruding out of the vent itself. I remember a documentary about St Helens that described as being “part of the Earth’s mantle on the surface…”

Mount St. Helens in 1980 | #MSH45 @mountsthelens1980.bsky.social · 8h

By Sunday afternoon, the new dome is about 155 feet high and nearly 900 feet wide, spreading laterally as its crust cracks and cools.

What no one knows yet is that this dome will anchor the complex that now fills the crater.

No more blowouts, no more resets. A dome was there to stay.

$Oblique aerial on Oct. 19, 1980 showing the dome enlarging. The mound has bread-crust texture and low, stacked lobes with wisps of steam along fractures on the crater floor. USGS photo.$

#MSH45 | Oct. 19, 1980
After three days of explosive activity, the sixth—and final—eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 is over.

Saturday evening, Oct. 18: A thick, pasty glob of lava pushes up from the vent inside the crater.

Within hours, it rises close to 100 ft. high and about 200 ft. across.

Oblique aerial of Mount St. Helens’ new lava dome at 4:24 p.m., Oct. 18, 1980. A gray, lobate plug steams on the crater floor, ~40 meters wide and ~10 meters high—the base of the dome complex that would persist. USGS photo.

The perils of AI: The AP uses STATS LLC, a British sports AI company (they once owned).

The team and players for this AI recap are all wrong, they took the Texas Southern vs Virginia-Lynchburg game and switched team names and scores.

Now it's on ESPN, CBS, and other AP subscribers

Bad Medical Takes @badmedicaltakes.bsky.social · 13h

Twitter user LaurenWitzkeDE:

I read about this doctor who says biopsies are what rapidly spread the cancer, perhaps that’s why it didn’t quickly spread or become deadly with the neglect. Is there a way you can avoid a biopsy?

Twitter user outwithtyranny:

I've read this too. It makes sense. A tumor is your body's way of protecting the rest of your body from the cancer. It walls it off and encapsulates it in the tumor. Break or bust that tumor open and it can definitely spread. The asshats in your comments are clueless.

Old International Print Ads @oldinprintads.bsky.social · 13h

From America, Oct 1939: International Trucks ad from International Harvester Company

(+Heavy-Duty Trucks; Trucks; and 6-Wheelers)

«"It's an INTERNATIONAL/"»

This is an advert for a range of heavy-duty vehicles suitable for various hauling needs. It features an image of a fuel oil truck with a driver, a boy, and a dog. The advert emphasizes the quality, performance, and economy of the vehicles.

"It's an INTERNATIONAL/"

In the Triple-Diamond Emblem is the Greatest Name in Trucks
Thirty-three years ago a bold name appeared on a pioneer truck. It was the first INTERNATIONAL, named for International Harvester. The name was mainly pledge and promise then. Now it is the greatest name in trucks. Wherever loads are hauled today, in the remote corners of the world or just around the corner from you, truck men are proud to say, "It's an International!"
A third of a century of "fixed idea" has brought this about-33 years of Harvester determination to provide truck transportation at the lowest possible cost for any man with loads to haul.
International's 242 Company-owned branches with their factory-service facilities, and the thousands of ser-vice-trained dealers, have played a vital part in the Inter-national Truck reputation of today. Truck quality-service readiness. These make International performance and econ-omy, and that's the substance of truck ownership.
Performance and economy-in a handsome package. Note the beauty of the heavy-duty unit shown below. Inter-national Harvester sells more heavy-duty trucks (2-ton and up) than any other three manufacturers combined. You can see that users like to say, "It's an International!"
Fit Internationals to your hauling problems. Sizes range from ½-ton all the way to powerful 6-wheelers. See any dealer or branch.
