Rare chunks of Earth's mantle found exposed in Maryland

If you disable Javascript, it seems to still load the full article, and doesn't break formatting.

you can always type in anyone@anywhere.com and it isn't verified.

Ublock origin + lightning bolt!

I just came here to complain about that! It's the most obnoxious popup, ffs at least show it at the start so I don't waste my time on 1/5 of an article.

I personally just use support@ emails. There's a good chance it opens up a support ticket and slightly annoys someone. you could also use caprivacy@twdc.com to really tick them off.

It's sad Disney has to stoop this low.

Just hit F12 and paste this into the console when they ask for it

    document.querySelector('.Modal').remove();
    document.body.classList.remove('Scroll--locked');
    document.body.style.overflow="scroll";
    document.body.style.position="static";

I can't even dismiss the modal:

> "Sorry, this campaign is not available in your area"

Then why in the seven seas do you even produce the blasted popup ?

I understand the annoyance, but I really hope the parent comment does not remain the top comment on this post. I hope that would be related to the content, not the issues around its presentation.

For anyone who needs it, both the source material and an alternate link have been posted as top-level comments.

What email popup ?

... perhaps you are using some browser that isn't Firefox and/or you not have uBlock installed ?

Tangent: I used to subscribe to the mag for years.

I was getting steadily more frustrated with the shift towards US domestic content and away from nature and the world, but I there was still good stuff in there and I was a big fan of sponsoring the research and exploration.

Then they sold to Murdoch, and so my subscription was no longer fuelling the research and exploration stuff, so I stopped in disgust.

Still miss what I remember of the 'good old days'.

I don't see the popu. But I do see an advertisement every 1.5 screens I scroll down. Extremely annoying. Article itself isn't bad though

Just press reader view.

Just type a random email in the box. This is basic debugging knowledge.

I just use a random user and a domain that resolves to local host. I'm not sure how their MTA will deal with it though.

I wrote: whoeversethisupgof**yourself@gmail.com

and it worked! :)

As it turns out, "signing up" with "fuck.off@eat.shit.com" worked just fine for me.

... With apologies to whoever owns shit.com.

I use ublock origin and disable javascript for the session.

A lot of websites do that, the Kill Sticky button always saves me https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky

I assume this is related to the "Enter your email to read this article" popup? As an aside, I used to work on a technical team that handled things like that on a relatively high-traffic website. I was told at the time that the rough "going rate" for an email address entered this way was $20.

This specifically always makes me wish that some kind of advertising revenue share would catch on and make this kind of thing feel like a win-win rather than feel as though I'm being exploited.

This may hit you with a Google captcha that is a worse nag — on the submitted web page, at least, you can type in whatever you want in the box instead of becoming a computer trainer for a few moments.

Same, I don’t negotiate with ad terrorists.

Interesting!

> the landscape undergo a remarkable change. The greenery shifted from a variety of leafy trees and plants to barren grassy fields rimed with stunted oak and pine. The difference in vegetation reflected a change in the underlying geology, evincing rocks with excess magnesium and too little calcium for most plants to thrive. We had driven onto the mantle.

When I was a kid the magazine was all about the photos. Online NatGeo doesn't get it. They're not getting my email address either.

Soldiers Delight is a preservation area, so the rangers won't be pleased if you go off the trail there, nor should they be - I expect the researchers had to clear their visit in advance. But there are plenty of formations around here similar to the one in the article photo; I feel like you'd have a harder time finding a state park without them, than with.
