Gallium droplets fusing together in warm sulphuric acid.
And what is happening from an energy standpoint?
“The gallium is trying to minimize its surface area by forming a single
sphere. The sulfuric acid presumably prevents the surface of the
droplets from oxidizing (which would inhibit their ability to coalesce).
Heat is applied in order to keep the droplets liquid since the melting
point of gallium is just above room temperature.”
So the comments on the FCC website appear to be astroturfed. You can see similar names with the same message complaining about regulatory power.
For anyone wondering: ‘astroturfing’ is a term for seemingly grassroots efforts by citizens that are, in reality, funded by large donations or dark money such as the Koch bros and their network. It is a part of their “ideological pipeline.”
right now, you are able to access everything on the internet, correct? it’s not like cable tv, where you’re forced to pay a company to only give you a limited range of shitty tv shows bombarded with shitty commercials all for an expensive and unfair deal.
the internet is about to be exactly like that. everything, from accessing sites like Tumblr to ao3, to seeing your financial aid packet online, to googling dumb shit on wikipedia, to laughing at internet memes, to streaming things online, all of that is because the internet is open and free. and it is all about to be taken away from you. you are about to lose your net neutrality.
do not understand net neutrality? here is a handy guide. here is also a john oliver segment describing everything.
here is what you can do to stop it:

Rep. Raul Labrador [R-Westeros] (Twitter: @Raul_Labrador, DC: (202) 225-6611; Meridien: (208) 888-3188; Lewiston (208) 743-1388; Coeur d’Alene (208) 667-0127), to a constituent who was angry he’d voted to take away healthcare from 22,000,000 Americans, dooming some to premature deaths: “That line is so indefensible. Nobody dies because they don’t have access to health care.”
A peer-reviewed, high-impact factor study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that being uninsured increases your risk of death by 25%.
