For the math challenged in Rio Linda...

Unleashing 240 cubic miles of material would be a cube 15.5 miles on each side.

While there have been measurable changes, I’m not yet buying this latest fear porn - only helping the math challenged here.

...it’s what I do sometimes.

You’re Welcome =o)

Speaking of math challenged, 15.5 is the square root of 240, not the cube root.

Quite ironic about “math challenged.” You mean a 1-mile high SQUARE 15.5 miles on each side. The cube root of 240 is about 6.21.

Obviously wrong. If it was a cube 10 miles on a side it would be 1000 cubic miles. You did a prism one mile high and about 15 miles on a side. Correct cube root is 6.2 mi.

Look up Kruger-Dunning.
