  1. Did the guy that dropped the socket get a medal too?

  2. That's a matter of opinion. The CCP takes a different view of the matter.

  4.  @seanhartnett79  find someone that cares.

  5. This is the first I'm hearing about this. I'm not saying it wasn't national news but just I didn't hear about it myself.

  6. Red means race!

  7. The reality is spaceflight is inherently difficult and dangerous. That's why not everyone does it. Even those most prepared sometimes can't quite make the grade.

  8. It wasn't a software issue. It was many software issues.

  9. They may have been singing about the 68 blackout.

  10. I think it grounded space exploration in reality better. Everyone that climbs aboard one of those flying bombs is a lunatic hero. We should never lose sight of that fact either. People are too easily jaded.

  11.  @Farm3rT  Tornadoes are notoriously unpredictable. They can follow a pattern but there's nothing insisting that they do. Which did cause one disaster once. When a tornado headed in the opposite to the usual direction. Everyone thought they knew and they turned out to be dead wrong. Tornadoes go wherever they please.

  12.  @RT-qd8yl  there's reasons why most tornadoes do follow the north east track. But there can also exist circumstances when they don't. Weather is a complex system and we don't always completely understand it. When I left my other comment I think it was referring to the El Reno storm. It did double back.

  13.  @Farm3rT  I've gone down the tornado video rabbit hole a few times. It's crazy stuff. Vehicles flying around. That's messed up. Some tornadoes can tear asphalt up off the ground. That's crazy. Basically air bulldozer. Coming through!

  14. You obviously don’t know how YouTube works. But thanks for playing and have a nice day.

  15. The 2003 blackout took out the whole northeastern grid. So like a quarter of the USA and part of Canada. Because both countries are on the same grid. Or they were at the time. There's maps online of the power grids in North America. I think this channel did a video about it?

  16. Even moar salt.

  18. We were just trying to toughen you kids up to reality.

  19.  @Tatsh2DX  if you accept that then you also have to accept that all of that loot ended up somewhere. No one had a case of remorse and just threw it out. When I saw it if I had some cash and interest I'd have probably bought some myself. Neither happened to be the case for me at the time though.

  20.  @Spacestation-r4z  the last former slave died 5 years prior to 1977 so no one was there that was entitled to any reparations. No one deserves reparations for anything they did not endure themselves.

  21.  @Spacestation-r4z  I do not know what you are driving at.

  22. Sounds like semantics to me. It looks like it blew up.

  23. I was at the Englishtown flea market the weekend after the blackout. Let's just say there was an unusual number of vans with New York plates there that day selling electronics at discounts. It was memorable.

  24. Well, there is a crowd of 70,000 spectators. So that scales things and offsets resources some. But I do agree it does seem like quite a waste nevertheless. People need to be entertained though.

  25.  @mcarrowtime7095  I don't drink soda or use wifi either. So I agree with you. Hardwired with Cat 5e baby yeah!

  26.  @mcarrowtime7095  there's no better cause than me. I'm my favorite charity.

  27.  @terrorbirds9835  I've met some Texans. Not my favorite people. At least the ones that can't stop from carrying on about Texas aren't. The ones I don't know are from Texas are OK. Look buddy, you're in New Jersey now. None of us will ever go to Texas. We have an aversion to clodhoppers here.

  28.  @Tatsh2DX  he didn't need to steal it himself. He could have bought it off someone else that stole it. People that steal that crap don't steal it for themselves. They steal it for money.

  31. I got to see the looted haul after the blackout. They took a lot of it to Jersey to sell. So a couple days afterwards they went to the Englishtown flea market with van loads of electronics.

  32. Half of the shuttle missions were classified for the military. Says something about the future, don't it? We were putting a lot of spy satellites in orbit then. And God knows what else. Well, God and Kubrick.

  33. It's no Who concert festival seating. Now that I do remember.

  34. That's weird because they took it all to Jersey to sell.

  35. It could not have ended up much worse. Nuclear warheads don't go off accidentally. It is pretty difficult to set them off. Plus the folks that make them take care to make sure they don't just go off. We're not talking about fireworks here.

  36.  @davidtoddvlogs3486  how do you figure? The missile blew up. The silo blew up. That's about as bad as it was going to get. The nuke was never going to detonate.

  37. See, that's why you lost the war. Before you could get that gobbly goop out of your mouth it was over already.

  38. Actually the space shuttles were the deadliest space vehicles ever made. Everyone dying every 66th time is pretty bad.

  39. Note to self: do not live downwind of a chemical plant.

  40. How about that, spaceflight is inherently dangerous. Who knew? Hey what color were Christa McAuliffe eyes? They were blue. One blew this way and one blew that way!

  42. Being exploitive is what got our species to the top of the heap.

  43.  @juliefore  yeah I looked at it on the map. I did have Indiana confused with Illinois. I forgot that illinois is wedged between Indiana and Ohio. Someday I'm going to have to make it west of Alabama. It's on my bucket list. I think I'm actually going to move out west someday. Not way out west but just westerly. I've spent my life on the east coast so far. I've been all the way up and down the east coast. Just never struck out west very much. There's nothing I'm interested in there really. If you've seen one corn field then you've seen them all.

  44.  @juliefore  Indiana is a flyover state.

  45. They live in tornado alley and someone has to tell them how bad weather can get? I'd think they learned that at a young age. I don't live there and even I know how bad storms are in the midwest.

  46. Usually an odorizer is added so you can smell it. Because if you don't that could get spicy.

  47. Smell is added to gas. Not all gas has an odor. Or the odor that you're familiar with. Which is methyl mercaptan. That's so you can smell it. But adding the smell costs money. So it isn't always done. Especially in commercial operations.

  48.  @SeanHartnett-t8c  It was somewhere between the Newark and Hoboken stations. I gave the approximate geographic coordinates as best as I can remember it. You can copy paste those numbers into Google and it'll show you on a map. We did not have Google maps or smart phones back then. I don't remember civilian access to GPS either. So we never knew exactly where we were. It was a different time.

  49. A smell is added to gas. It's called an odorizer. They use methyl mercaptan. So you can smell it. But they don't always. Because adding things costs money. There is a price to pay if you don't too though.

  50. What is the world coming to when a kid can't even build his own breeder reactor in his Mum's garden shed?
