I would imagine mainly containment; make sure the collapse of Russia stays in Russia and that you don't end up with black market tanks in Poland or a warlord seizing mines in Kazakhstan.

Yeah if aliens for some reason wanted an invasion of the US homeland by zombie mindcontrolling the army of one other country (and had some way to negate nukes) their best chance wouldn't be China or the EU but Canada and Mexico, just b

One thing I don't see mentioned in this is during that time period secondary/high school wasn't really a thing yet, meaning it wasn't that unusual for a 15 year old to be considered both fully educated and part of the wo

The legal system may not actively advertise it, but going by both the OP and other posts they pretty much do. Possession is 9/10 and all that

I'd wager there are a lot of people who think of themselves as Conservative/Liberal due to mimicry from parents or environment who are actually fairly centrist once challenged. Combined with the fact a lot of people also aren&#x27

The problem with such a demo is it will be conducted in a way that does minimum actual human harm, as it obviously should. As such, a raw feed of it won't really demonstrate much besides "big boom knocks things down" and at w

Are there even any good factions in 40k, like at all? Closest I can see are the Tau, and even they have some weird caste eugenics shit going on.

Vigilante justice died down with the phase out of leaded gasoline. One of the effects of people not being so violent and impulsive anymore is that people are not so violent and impulsive anymore

You know with the non-ratification of the CTBT treaty, along with a casual reading into Project Plowshare and the other nuclear test treaties leads me to believe the undertaking of non-military civilian operations utilizing nuclear detonati

I'm curious how the logistics of this strike are going to happen. With the old reddit themes you could just put a black everything over with squares in CSS but the new themes are so uncustomizable (especially in the app) that your aver

Is this the walkout that was supposed to start at noon and go for an hour, which coincidentally happens to align when most everyone there has a break for lunch?

Diesels with a J-brake can also decelerate quite abruptly, though in that case there's still a remarkably loud audio queue from the engine compressing

I mean I don't imagine it would be modifying the motor itself to be throwing off anymore radiation than usual, rather capturing the noise already being produced and sending to a speaker in the cabin somewhere

Unrelated but I wish electric automakers used the electromagnetic interference of their motors as an engine noise, since after watching some videos of Teslas picked up on the AM frequency it's quite a nice sound

What a soldier or worker is paid only matters in a vacuum, you have to consider the pipeline from military budget to the actual good or service. That includes both commodities bought on the world market (E.G. steel) and corruption raising c

TCE was originally conceived as a replacement for chemicals such as chloroform and ether, which were deemed to be too toxic to the liver for anesthesia. Once the toxicity of TCE was discovered, it started being phased out in various industr

One of the side effects of the crypto craze has been a lot of general citizens possessing quite a few GPUs. It turns out those GPUs are just as good at training models as they are at mining crypto. The big companies don't like that.

They do gloss over some RAM/processor cache optimizations near the end that in my experience can get a bit wacky implementing, but yeah seems overall very simple. I especially like the rule that nothing can exceed O(N)

At this point the core structural module is the truss, which I believe is doing fine, being essentially an unpressurized aluminum skeleton. You could eject the pressurized components and bolt a whole new set onto it, but at that point you m

Modern cars usually have their engine max speed limited so they don't exceed your average all-season tire's speed rating, but arguably that's more equivalent to a redline limiter preventing your pistons from self-destructing

Isn't that the basic principle of how fracking works? If you remove the extraction mechanism and made it a bit more sterile I don't see why you couldn't use it for groundwater replenishment too

Older generation nukes have atrocious throttle times and thus are pretty crap outside of baseline power. It's also one of the reasons they have the large cooling towers; to burn off excess steam whenever the reactor is producing more e
