That just makes me think it might be feasible. If off the shelf components aren’t off by an order of magnitude, that’s a good sign in my book.

I actually believe the nukes are a great deterrent for common people until they are used. Then people will figure out that NKs tiny nukes are toys

Is your point that they must necessarily be heavy? Because I don't think so. Modern electric motors are very compact and powerful. Also you'd not need gearbox and shafts. You can completely decouple the fan from the turbine. You c

On the other hand, should the stars align so that anyone cares, Eritrea is open to foreign intervention. Libya cancelled its nuclear program in the early 21st century and welcomed UN inspections. Then an international alliance force removed

The Soviet Union used to have diplomats and "attaches" who spoke pitch perfect Swedish.

An idea I've had is to put a small generator instead of a shaft and gearbox, and put the AC motor powered fan somewhere else. Could improve aerodynamics, stealth properties etc.

Still, it never occurred to me that it can have other applications: " In 2012, the Naval Research Laboratory estimated that rotating detonation engines could save the Navy 15-20 percent off a ~US$2-billion annual fuel bill if they were

Or in my case, likely distracted by some random stuff on youtube.

Oh yeah, someone will technically "win" a full exchange, I'm sure. The brass may see high survival rates. But the infrastructure will be bombed away. It will take decades to rebuild. One can't even compare to anything be

I thought the text looked almost legible. (I.e. Germanic.) But it was just an illusion because scratching in birch naturally will look rune like. Apparently Onfim used Cyrillic letters, but spoke a Germanic language. So my wrong guess was

Drop gun rights for a minute, focus more on unfucking the health care system. Just an arbitrary pairing.

Trump seems immune to blaming. To his fans, everything bad is because of unpatriotic traitors.

Don't you have the missile silos in rural Midwest. A truly global conflict with existential fear in major powers, will get hot . But currently the US could absolutely devastate China atomically, but China would only be able to take

Yeah, that may be true, but on the other hand, had they made it useable, portabilith with other Unix would have been a simpler option. Simpler than Win32 + Unix portability in any case. Or in some cases, software would have been ported to W

UK also shut down fairly hard and that still didn't stop the spread in nursing homes. So lockdown does not automatically seem to stop the contagion from coming into nursing homes. Makes sense really. Maybe a focused effort should be ma

Not trying to be flippant, but going at what kids do - probably copy your behaviour while at the same time feel it's an uncool thing. :-/

Incentives can be changed. The economy is all just conventions and pretty arbitrary rules.
