  • It sounds like the right thing for both of you is to reflect on what you are getting from being together and whether or not being together prevents you from doing things that are important to you?

    It seems to me she feels she wants to still continue the marriage, but also recognises that you have different needs. Would this arrangement be good for you? If not, what would?

    You still have a lot of life ahead of you, whatever you do, live it well.









  • I got interested in this tech a while back myself (thinking I should build one myself, how hard can it be?) and I made some simulations (because who wouldn’t). The thermal gradient in sand is actually quite steep, even with very high temps around the core where the resistors are, the temps fall off pretty quickly. Then when you are at a point where the surface temp is reasonable, you switch to a conventional thermal insulator. Putting it underground would cause all sorts of issues in eg. maintaining the resistors, insulation etc. so it’s probably just easier to do it like this.
