Speaking of moved posts, you can't click on the up link in @aliceif's post (2166) to see what she was replying to now. I assume that's already known, but if not and one of you wants to file a bug for me that'd be nice.

<_foniks> heh, if we sent all the criminals to some empty continent and just left them there to die <_foniks

<_foniks> whatd u think they'd say? <_FoSZoR[bg]> something along the lines of, "G

orihalcum/adamantium alloy
Orichalcum weighs about 50% more than steel and is about twice as strong as steel. Adamantine weighs as much as cork and is at least 5 times stronger than steel by every measure.
I'm not sure why you'd want to alloy adamantine with anything. It's a metal strong enough to keep demons out of the overworld, but easy enough to work with that you can mine it with a copper pickaxe and make (insanely expensive) clothing out of it. Orichalcum is basically "slightly better steel that weighs more".

I have the vague feeling there should be some sort of an "inside of DF it's too dark to read"-type joke there, but I'm too tired to think of one.

Well, 100% of it is recycled and cleaned on a long enough timeline. Or, not really "cleaned", but "blown out through the cracks in the plane and wastegates while new makeup air is brought in". They cannot do it too quickly, because most of the ait that is used to pressurize the cabin is actually siphoned off of the cold side of the compressor section in the engines. It is called "bleed air", and if you bleed too much of it off the plane stops moving forward. ;)

A little history lesson: the pressurized propliners (Douglas DC-6 and DC-7, Boeing 307 and 377, Avro Tudor, and Lockheed L-049/649/749/1049) used dedicated cabin superchargers driven off of an engine auxiliary shaft -- this was the only way to achieve pressurization at the time, and was also needed to provide compressed air for de-ice boots. By the time the first generation of turboprops came along (this'd be the Lockheed L-188 and the Vickers Viscount, for those who are following along), this technology was well established for cabin pressurization, but de-icing boot air was now being sourced from the limited supply of bleed air early turboprop engines could provide.
Then came the Jet Age -- and it was only fitting that the very first production jetliner, the De Havilland Comet, use turbojet bleed air not only as a source of air for pneumatic and anti-ice systems, as had been done previously in turboprop aircraft, but to provide the much larger volume demand required to pressurize the cabin. This was enabled because turbojet bleed air is much higher pressure than the bleed air available from a turboshaft engine; however, it's also very hot, requiring sophisticated air cycle machines ('packs') to get it to a usable temperature.
However, bleed air is annoying for aircraft designers to handle -- it requires big, often insulated ducts to move around vs much lighter and more maneuverable wires and hydraulic lines, and has this annoying habit of causing quite a bit of damage to unfortunate parts in the vicinity of a duct leak. This led Boeing's designers to abandon bleed air in the 787 Dreamliner, instead using electrically-driven cabin compressors and electric deicing heat.

causing quite a bit of damage to unfortunate parts in the vicinity of a duct leak.
And causing immediate and massive contamination of the air on the rare occasions that oil enters the cold side of the turbine...

Yeah, but I hear that's not pure air. They dilute it with almost 50% Nitrogen

You mean to say there's no acceptable level of H2O? Or C6H12O6?
What about O2?

I'm also reasonably concerned about acceptable levels of CH3CH2OH…

I've heard of Vivarin, but it's not a name that would come readily to mind. No-Doz is the most familiar brand to me. However, I prefer my 1,3,7-Trimethylpurine-2,6-dione in the form of dried leaves of Camellia sinensis.
