Any of you ever work with zirconium alloys? How much of a pain are they. Like, how badly will I regret my choices if I bring zircaloy-4 into my life.

I met someone once. They were really egocentric. Like, they were wearing FAKE DIAMOND PANTS. FAKE. DIAMOND. PANTS.

NOT ONLY DID THEY SACRIFICE THEIR COMFORT FOR LOOKING WEALTHY, BUT THEY ARENT EVEN WEALTHY!!!

The audacity to not only wear diamond pants, but FAKE DIAMOND PANTS!

just mentioning zirconiums canon backstory

uhhh around the formation of the first zircon crystals (probably before quartz sand), Zr and Hf want to the beach for some milkshakes. Zr got some sand in xeir's, and then Hf locked them in The Cube Without Decription for like a while before Hf just forgot xe were in there

not sure if that's what you mean by "around the formation of the first zircon crystals" but i like this mental image of them going for shakes in the early Hadean
