How long have we had tunnels then? Oh, so the tunnels were dug in the 80s.

Yeah, this was designed to be a nuclear test location originally, and now we do only subcritical experiments in this location.

We do this because it is secure, right, so we can control the environment. And we also are concerned about a potential breach of the vessel, and so we want to do it in an environment that's controlled and we don't lose any of the plutonium into the environment. If something goes wrong. If something goes wrong, yeah.

So this is where the Scorpius machine is going to reside.

And the reason is we need higher energy x-rays to be able to look through plutonium.

When a coffee bean is harvested, you know, in the jungles of Costa Rica or Colombia or wherever it might be, those berries, which look like little tiny cherries or almost like crab apples, they get hauled into baskets or trucks and then like thrown onto the ground. And there's either like dry or wet fermentations.

But in both cases, just whatever endemic microbes are in the jungle, on the fruit, start to acidify and metabolize all of the fruit flesh. And all those metabolites, all the acids that are produced, all the organic molecules seep into the actual coffee bean itself and change its flavor.
