Found all across the United States, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, the mushroom Hydnellum peckii has a pretty unmistakable appearance, particularly when it’s young. This fungus exudes a thick, dark red sap across a white cap, earning it numerous nicknames, from “strawberries and cream,” to “devil’s tooth,” to “bleeding tooth fungus.” Fortunately, neither the fungus nor the sap are poisonous, but they’re both said to be incredibly bitter.

On Earth, you need heat to fuse metal, but in space, two pieces of the same kind of metal will fuse together with only a little pressure. The process is called cold welding, and it happens because of the lack of atmosphere.

If that is so, couldn't one accomplish the same thing by putting the two pieces in a vacuum chamber, removing all the air, and pressing the two pieces of metal together? Has that been tried? Or am I showing my ignorance here?

Yeah, we are staring at women. They don't stare at us nearly as often.

No . . . you are correct. Also known as contact welding.

ADELAIDE, Australia — Adelaide sweltered through the highest temperature ever recorded by a major Australian city on Thursday, peaking at a searing 46.6 degrees Celsius (115.9 degrees Fahrenheit) as the drought-parched nation heads toward potentially the hottest January on record.

The South Australia state capital city of 1.3 million people beat its previous 80-year-old record of 46.1 C (115 F) set on Jan. 12, 1939, and records tumbled in smaller towns across the state.
