1 megaton? Even the largest LNG tankers can hold only 67 kilotons, so even if you had a perfect stoichiometric mixture somehow and detonated all of it at one you'd get maybe a 130 kiloton explosion.

I seriously have to wonder why "drivers don't want to fill DEF tanks too often" is given as a reason by automakers to skimp on DEF injection. DEF costs, what, $15 for 2.5 gallons, which lasts a couple of thousand miles, and c

It sounds like the correlation is with dress codes , not necessarily with level of formality. I wonder if having t-shirt and shorts be an official uniform (the world is getting hotter, after all) would provide the same benefits.

As the above comment states, confidence. Confidence is everything. It's hard to detect a confident liar without serious equipment and verification. If it's hard, make up an appropriate story beforehand and rehearse it until it is

1. Demand is only one factor in the price of housing. Supply is another. Eliminate all density/height/parking restrictions and enforce quality, and only quality regulations and the increase won't be that severe. 2. Don't

Air source heat pumps have become much more efficient at lower temperatures than they used to be. The best units from Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Gree, et al, put out their nameplate rating down to -13 to -20F, and continue to produce >50% of t
