  1. NO. The next post must have at least 2 (2) explosion pictures in it.

  3. XfuckingD Oh, man, I just saw Red Tails. Fucking AWESOME.
  4. Yes, but the situation happened mostly because the operators didn't blame instrument malfunction. Remember this? Most of the time, anyway.
  5. Some of you are most likely opposed to nuclear power. Here's some information about it, hopefully getting you to consider it. Myths: 1. Nuclear fuel is running low This is probably the one of the most ridiculous myths I have heard about nuclear power. There is lots of fissile uranium-235 left in the world, and the non-fissile uranium-238 is put into special "breeder reactors" that eventually turn it into fissile plutonium-239. There are two types of reactors: The "burners", commercial reactors that use more fuel than is spent, and "breeders", reactors that produce more fuel than is used. This leads into the next myth... 2. Once used, spent assemblies are as useless as the ash from coal plants. They are waste. So, a commercial reactor has used its fuel. What's left is waste, right? WRONG. Around 96% of spent fuel is able to be reprocessed into useable plutonium-239. The process is messy, but it is much cheaper in the long run. 3. Large amounts of waste are produced. Looking at the previous myth, this looks ridiculous. If you take all of the waste produced by the U.S. and stuck it side-by-side, it would cover an area the size of a football field that is five yards deep. Plus, mot of that is reusable. Lets say 70,000 tons of fuel is buried. That is wasting 66,000 tons of U-238, which is used for the production of plutonium. Essay Nuclear power is a clean, cheap alternative to burning oil or coal. It has minimal carbon output, and that is from shipment of used and unused fuel. The clouds seen coming from the towers are just water vapor. It is very safe, accidents rarely happen, and when they do, it is most likely because a) The reactor was designed poorly (Chernobyl, Windscale), b) Built in a hazardous area (Fukushima-Daiichi), or c) Run by idiots or people who blame instrument malfunction (Chernobyl, Three Mile Island). Nuclear plants do NOT explode, and whoever says that critical mass is dangerous is stupid. Critical mass is what reactions need to, well, react. Super-critical is when things get dangerous. There, a runaway nuclear reaction is GOING to occur, resulting in meltdown and steam explosions, and beautiful, radioactive geysers of water sprouting up once it hits the water table. The fuel, if it somehow stays molten, will eventually work its way down to the core, and stay there, because going to China would work against gravity. Terrorist attacks are unlikely. Simulations were ran involving a Boeing 767-400 crashing into the reactor containment building with full fuel tanks. Nothing happened to the main containment inside the building in any of them. What would you expect to happen to four feet of reinforced concrete? And, anyway, terrorists prefer populated areas with lots of casualties to sparse areas around plants.

  6. Welcome to the farm! Over here, you will see our explosives lab, where I work. I am also a black belt. (Also: that looks nothing like a plate of meatballs)
  7. Until, of course, either fuel-cells or solar panels become economical.
  8. That looked distinctively not like an alien.
  9. It's a simile.
  10. Need for Speed: High Stakes

  13. I FUCKING HATE ARROW TO THE KNEE JOKES!! DOCTOR OCTA-MOTHERFUCKING-GONAPUS,BLLAAAARRRGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!1!1eleven11!! Chuck has been vaporized. The hill is mine.
  14. Nothing right now, but I am planning on working in a lab. Preferably one with a nuclear reactor.
  15. IMO, one of the best songs in Most Wanted: fRvtgnmMpD0
  16. I got a couple of really bad puns for ya. Shanghai? No, about 20 cm off of the ground. Marmite But Pa might not.
  17. Two words: Soylent Green.
  18. First, she'll spend a year in the incinerator. Year two, cryogenic wing. Then TEN years in the chamber where all the robots scream at you. THEN, we do the BG2 treatment.
  19. Ever noticed how Combine soldiers have ridiculous death poses? I have one that looks like he wants me to have sex with him. Another one fits "Wish you were here."
  20. Here's what Portal 2's advert poster would be:
  21. That was an alien soldier, not a Garg. Those are MUCH bigger.
  22. 111...um...1! *Door opens*
