I laughed along with the rest of us when we discussed this a couple weeks ago[1], but then a friend of mine said she'd love to get their own power feed to their house in Los Angeles. Apparently one of the neighbors draws 4 times the po

What was most interesting to me is that giant diamonds like this regularly get crushed to bits by the extraction process. I wonder how many other 1000+ karat stones have been destroyed in the history of diamond mining.

You dig down 200 feet to the bedrock, pour a foundation, and then pour pilings up to the surface to put the building on.
