The question of how far we mine is entirely dependant on cost

I never understood why 180° C is too hot for drills. That's the temperature of my oven when I'm cooking food in metal trays.

The crazy shit is they find artifacts deep in those mines. Like hammers encased in stone that's millions of years old. Wagon wheels in coal mines. Look up some of the stuff coal miners have found deeper than any artifacts should ever be

When they wake up a Balrog then they would know they delved too deep

[Rippenitup]

Well in the next few weeks someone will be attempting to go deeper

That "ac" is ventilation. Not ac.

Bro 60c⁰ is not fatal (for long times yes)

[timcolgan]

Yeah, just go ahead and rip out the center of the earth.
