jesse_the_k.When you struggle to keep up with [him], it’s not because you’re doing less than him. It’s because you’re doing more: hiking, yes, but also caring for a body with significant medical needs and carrying the mental burden of worry about medication and health emergencies.

"The Plate Tectonics theory’s modern upgrade is the result of new information. Beginning in the mid-1990s, Earth’s interior has gradually been charted by CAT-Scan-like images, built by mapping the echoes of powerful earthquakes that bounce off features within Earth’s underworld, the way a bat screeches to echo-locate surroundings. These “seismic tomography” pictures show that plates that plunge down from the surface and into the mantle (“subduct” in the language of geologists) don’t just assimilate into a formless blur, as often depicted. In fact, they have a long and eventful afterlife in the mantle.

The hum had settled into a strong, unwavering refrain by the time Thallikar dropped me off at my hotel, which looked out over the CyrusOne campus. I could see a new building under construction, plus a lot for another building of equal size. Beyond that, just down the street from where Thallikar lived, was a bald patch of land with space for two more buildings. CyrusOne had room to add 96 more chillers, almost double the number whining now.
