@elonmusk Throwing this out there but I wonder how Spherical Synthetic Graphite Blocks (~99.5% Cg ) cut into a thick layered heat sink with a SiC coating (3N’s) would hold up.
not surprised to see influencers talking about the oral & dental benefits of Μαστίχα.
“Masticha” - which is a tree from Chios, Greece has a unique tree sap that tears purely and can be chewed like gum.
Lately got some from Chios, chewing it daily again, my teeth feel great.

In 1948, a drive-in located in Los Angeles implemented a unique system using conveyer belts to deliver food. This innovative idea, patented by Kenneth C. Purdy as the Motormat, aimed to eliminate the need for carhops by relying on a conveyor belt system for order taking and food delivery. The Track restaurant in Southern California embraced this technology, with 20 stalls arranged like spokes around the central building.
Instead of carhops, a metal bin on a conveyor belt played the roles of a waiter, busboy, and server. Purdy stated in 1949 that this system saved customers 30 to 50% of the time it would take at a typical drive-in. With the Motormat, there was no waiting for carhops, no need to deal with dusty food, no honking for the check, and no waiting for change.
The process of ordering at this drive-in involved driving up to a window-high bin mounted on rails. Inside the bin, customers would find glasses of water, a menu, a pencil, and a pad. They would fill out their order, push a button, and send the bin back to the kitchen, located at the center of the circular structure. While the food was being prepared, the bin would return with the bill. After the payment was made, the food and change would be sent back down the rails, eliminating the need for tipping a waitress.
Despite generating initial excitement, The Track restaurant faced challenges in replacing the traditional carhops on skates. Although it served an impressive number of customers, with 3,000 meals sold on its opening day and nearly 40,000 served in the first two weeks, the Motormat concept never truly gained widespread popularity.
