It's practically impossible for any type or reactor to "blow up". Nuclear weapons are very different from reactors. The most dangerous types of reactor is graphite moderated ones. (Because graphite burns lot more readily than

Sorry I'm late to the party. My idea was to make hand tools with a twist of some sort. As a small side business at first, but maybe get bigger over time. Currently I'm working on bit different type of pruning shears. I'd like

I seem to be wandering into tool making currently. What hand tools are you most missing that are not produced anymore? EDIT: Just noticed your other comment. I'm located in Finland too. I've had huge trouble finding hand drill wit

I know few guys who have gotten through 400v main with an excavator and just loud bang and scare. Those excavators are not insulated in any way, but the cockpit does make Faraday cage. I think they usually continue working after booting eve

I find it bit weird that women and minorities seem to be able to use this "fatigue" thing as argument or excuse to blow up on some situations. The same does not seem to apply to white men, as otherwise she would started how Damore

I think there is lack of trust forbidding that empathy. If you don't trust that this guy has good intentions, it's very very hard to have any empathy towards him.

One of the best ways to beat the averages is to use volunteers. If you need 100 new firefighters and pick people by random, you get absolutely average firefighters. If you just pick people who apply, without any kind of testing, you beat th

The super hornet typically only carries 6 air to air missiles. While SU-22 can carry the most modern short range aa missiles. Hornet would not win with gun only against 4 missile armed fitters. If the missiles are modern. In air warfare num

Wikipedia lists: AIM-120 400 000$ and AIM-9X 600 000$. Which is very surprising, typically short range missiles are cheaper. Apparently AIM-9X has gone through recent face-lift that still affects prices. Su-22 is harder to find, but compara

Actually it was super hornet. It has so few common parts with the original, that many people consider it completely different airplane. The program costs we're also big enough to hint new design if I recall correctly. The reason it is

Yes. If I recall correctly, Kahnemann showed that any emotional response is likely to cause long term memory. But with adds the memory is going to be so faint that you forget the nature of the emotion. But when you hear the brand name, it s

Degree is standard enforced on humans. The value of a degree is the information it conveys. A degree is only as valuable as the least skilled person having it. Only compulsory classes and pass/fail grades matter.

To me 15 years for murder sounds low. Even for Nordic country standards. My understanding is that the ~15 years is because the convicts try everything to get the sentence repelled. Which signals that "death sentence" is really som

Yes it's tricky. But it's also quite nasty that in some police sieges the perpetrator has absolutely nothing to lose anymore, except his life. So if he kills several policemen and manages to escape, it's still good deal. If t
