The Problem with Normal People

It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery grey.
"Vice Adm. Joseph P. Aucoin, the head of the Seventh Fleet, the Navy’s largest overseas, was removed Wednesday in connection with the four accidents since January, including two fatal collisions in the past two months, according to a statement by the Navy." NYTs
Not the best time to have a shakeup in the 7th Fleet. These men are still searching for the missing sailors from the collision with an oil tanker.
The North secretly shipped nuclear equipment to Syria allegedly to build a nuclear power reactor. Israel destroyed it on Sept. 6, 2007 in operation Mivtza bustan or Orchard.

One small, crude, hydrogen bomb detonated by the North created the equivalent of a 6.3 magnitude earthquake. The U.S. arsenal includes the B83, the most powerful thermonuclear weapon currently in our arsenal. It yields 1.2 million tons (75 times the yield of Little Boy), equal to about 200 square miles of devastation. America has 650 B83s.
1,200,000 tons of TNT. One bomb. We have 650 of them, which represent a fraction of our nuclear weapons arsenal.

A nuclear war is exactly what the doctor ordered. It is something I've always looked forward to. If this moron in the North doesn't start one, terrorists will. I have no doubt they are scrambling to purchase or steal fissile material as we speak (I'm positive they've been compiling it for some time. Much, enough to make a bomb, is unaccounted for right now) and intend on blackmailing the great Satan at the earliest possible moment, once it is fully operational. No question they have nuclear physicists in their pocket helping them to assemble one. Chances are they will deliver it to a port in the U.S.- soon.

I'd like to make a small table top from the oak that just came down. Stools, too, from the same material. Then, some hinged patio door frames.

"URANIUM has been found in an al-Qa'eda base outside Kandahar - the first evidence that Osama bin Laden had obtained materials for a nuclear arsenal, it was revealed yesterday.
The discovery gives some credibility to the fear that he could unleash a weapon of mass destruction as his dying act.
Anti-Taliban leaders in Kandahar revealed that the uranium and other materials, including cyanide, had been discovered in a tunnel complex beneath the former base near the city's airport. The find was confirmed by American officials."

Since 2001, we've known that bin laden and other terrorists planned to build a weapon of mass destruction. For a thermonuclear explosion to occur, sufficient quantities of enriched uranium or plutonium are necessary to build an atomic bomb which serves as the "gunpowder" to trigger/ignite a mixture of the rare forms of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium. When these things are obtained illegally, it can take considerable amounts of time to secure a sufficient quantity. A "critical mass" of fissile material is necessary for an explosion to occur. Now that we know for sure that N.K. has these materials in sufficient quantity to detonate a thermonuclear bomb, what are the odds that terrorists have purchased all the ingredients for one?

Terrorism is backed by wealthy nations and individuals and N.K. is broke. Terrorists are patient. They are engaged in a life and death mission. They are focused, determined and show no signs of fatigue or of letting up.

 

[Jackbnimble]

Again, I have a forgettor that works overtime. My tendency is to expect that each terrorist attack, a few weeks out from its occurrence, will be the last one, or the last major one. I don't want to believe terrorism is here to say, that we can't get a handle on it, that at any moment they, the terrorists, will follow their historic pattern and murder at random dozens to hundreds of innocent people.
If I look closely and semi-objectively, they've clearly proven that they are not running out of steam. They are not becoming more mellow. They are not losing their passion and dedication to killing Westerners. If anything, their behavior demonstrates that they are committed to doing anything, anything, to destroy our civilization, including using weapons of mass destruction.

Which reminds me. Spinach is much better than Viagra, w/o the side effects, its cheaper and it is good for ya. It has special properties.

The US sent two B-1 bombers over the Korean Peninsula in response to the North's missile test. (AAP)

N.K. successfully launched an ICBM capable of reaching every state in America. We have the technology to destroy them and Japan has our Aegis Missile Defense System.

I'd like to build a steam generator to produce electricity, using wood as the source to boil water.

water is turned into steam, which in turn drives turbine generators to produce electricity.

The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) was a particle accelerator complex under construction in the vicinity of Waxahachie, Texas.
Its planned ring circumference was 54.1 mi with an energy of 20 TeV per proton. In comparison the Large Hadron Collider has a ring circumference 17 mi and energy of 6.5 TeV per proton. Congress officially canceled the project October 21, 1993 after $2 billion had been spent.

If I spend a buck for a soda, Armageddon slaps me upside the head.

Just one cosmic event blows all combined power ever generated by mankind in all of history think about that sorta power! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Gamma-ray_burst

Approximately 3.6×1038 protons (hydrogen nuclei), or roughly 299 million metric tons of hydrogen, are converted into helium nuclei every second releasing energy at a rate of 3.86×1026 joules per second.[4]

4* McDonald, Andrew; Kennewell, John (2014). "The Source of Solar Energy". Bureau of Meteorology. Commonwealth of Australia.

The Sun converts 564 million tons of hydrogen into 560 million tons of helium every second. That means that every second 4 million tons of hydrogen is turned into energy. ON the order of one Mount Everest per second.

The Largest Yellow Star Ever Could Almost Devour The Whole Solar System

Adam Clark Estes


A team of astronomers peering through Chile's Very Large Telescope just realised that HR 5171 A, a massive star in the Centaurus constellation, is actually twice as big as previously thought. They already thought it was pretty big — but it's actually the biggest yellow star they have ever seen.

How big is biggest? This star is 1300 times the size of the sun. It's so big that it's practically absorbing its smaller companion star. The two of them form a giant, peanut-shaped star system that's so big it would devour nearly the entire solar system if it were located where our sun is. That's why they call this size star a hypergiant.

That's a lot of heat and fire. It is not, however, the biggest star ever discovered. A red star called UY Scuti currently holds the title of biggest star in the universe. It's 1700 times larger than the sun. Nevertheless, HR 5171 A is big enough to be included in the top ten biggest stars found so far. Given the massive gulf between how big we thought this star was versus how big it actually is suggests that this list will need updating as we start peering into the cosmos with bigger better telescopes.

I want to look through a gigantic telescope before I check out.

The SOHO satellite watched the events unfold. On October 26th, Active Region 10486 had grown to over 10 times the diameter of the Earth and could be seen with the naked eye from Earth. Two days later the region was directly inline with our planet when it released a flare with the energy of fifty billion atomic bombs. The accompanying coronal mass ejection (CME) raced past SOHO at a phenomenal 2300 kilometers per second (5,144,953 miles per hour!) Most CMEs take 2 to 3 days to cross the 150 million kilometers between the Sun and the Earth.

This one made it in less than 18 hours!
