Snowy fumarole on Mt Erebus

Located in Antarctica, Mt Erebus is one of the only volcanoes to host a permanent lava lake (seehttp://tinyurl.com/q8mqrjs andhttp://tinyurl.com/ofajpv6). The flanks of the mountain are also active, including a variety of fumaroles, places where hot steam and gases released by the magma deep below in the chamber are released into the atmosphere. These gases are exsolved as the magma rises because the drop in the surrounding pressure affects how much of them the magma can hold dissolved within itself.

When the fumaroles emerge into the icy air, they gradually build up these structures as small amounts of steam crystallise into ice as they leave the vent, slowly creating these surreal ice landforms.

You teach them responsibility by entrusting them with these devices.

You teach them teamwork by taking them away at night and storing them in your room.

My dad kept the computer locked and monitored (and only used when under direct supervision), an intolerable situation to which my little brother and I reacted with gusto. We set up a camera to get the password, coded password guessers, bootcamped a Mac to allow us to use an entirely different system, and figured out various ways to avoid logging internet activity, logins, and even the hidden camera my dad set up. He would discover our new hack and put even more restrictions (he is very computer literate), and we would crack it again. We learned computer security just because my dad didn’t want us to.

I breezed through AP comp sci into a tech field. Ironically, I was introduced to porn because I was looking for another bypass and stumbled into a BDSM site so I can also blame my dad for me being a freaky ho.

Out of all the responses to this post. Yours was my favourite. I cried laughing when I saw the last paragraph
