GSG Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Dog Runs Grueling Desert Ultramarathon Just For Fun Quote This is Cactus, a Moroccan runner who completed the grueling Marathon des Sables through the Sahara Desert earlier this week. He is talented and he is also a dog. Cactus linked up with the race after Sunday’s opening 20-mile stage, sticking around for the next four stages and 120 miles of running. The Marathon des Sables is a famously difficult race, where competitors have to run an average of 23.5 miles per day for five days straight through the sand, sun, and wind of the unforgiving Sahara of southern Morocco. It’s not the sort of thing anyone does primarily for fun, excepting of course Cactus, who seemed to enjoy his time with the race. 1 Quote Link to comment

RedDenver Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 3 hours ago, knapplc said: There's a plastic liner inside your soda can. Aluminum cans have had plastic liners for about 50 years. https://www.aluminum.org/bpa-aluminum-cans Quote Many aluminum food and beverage containers sold in the United States feature a protective liner on the interior of the can containing trace amounts of Bisphenol A (BPA). This liner forms a barrier between the product and metal, providing protection against food-borne diseases. These coatings have been critical to improving food and beverage safety since being introduced more than 50 years ago. EDIT TO ADD: Here's an excellent article on the design and engineering of the aluminum can: https://interestingengineering.com/why-humble-aluminum-can-actually-engineering-feat 2 Quote Link to comment
