  1. Not cheating, "open relationship" with permission

  4.  @eugenefirebird8938  The Chicxulub impact was the energy equivalent of 100,000,000 megatons. Not comparable as nukes would not be lifting particulates into the stratosphere like that.

  5.  @Nick-of8zo  what you should be concerned about is the supply chain disruption. Modern farming is an industrial process that relies on a lot of chemical processing and machinery. Just look at the effect on potatoes when Belarus was no longer able to supply potash to global markets. Water has never been a big concern with fallout more things that it concentrates in.

  6. this is why I absolutely hate those boomers that deride the duck and cover drills they had to do. The amount of damage just flying glass does in building bombings is ridiculous, not to mention flash burns that the flimsiest of materials can protect you from (eg the Hiroshima maiden photo showing the dress pattern burns). Imagine having to care for one of your family members with those burns with no chance of real medical care that would normally save them then die of infection over the next two weeks.

  7. Going to be hilarious if the first one is off course (and they are not 100% accurate) and you get to lie there blind with flash burns hearing your wife's horrible screams until the next one hits.

  8. Silicon Valley said it again and again.... put radio on the internet

  9. And the people in the southern hemisphere

  10. Not Russian operations involving Americans, that is the FBIs area of responsibility.

  11.  @Zummbot  youtube doesnt like links being posted, pretty easy to google through...

  12. What a lot of people do not understand is the less serious burns allow infection to set, this normally is not such a problem for many burn victims due to access to prompt medical care and supplies however in a nuclear attack scenario no such care would be possible on the required scale. The flimsiest of barriers can provide protection from these burns, a good example id the picture of a Hiroshima maiden with the fabric pattern of her dress burned into her skin.

  13.  @sonnylambert4893  Will be contained mostly in the north due to air currents. Supply chain disruption however will take a huge toll.

  14.  @tjacksondolph4026  kind of hypocritical for her to act so pious and gossipy over his attempts to cheat when that was an open secret.

  15. Are the target staff allowed to shoot customers on Black Friday? Those people behave really quick when the gloves come off.

  16.  @jasonkloos6348  no that is when you are talking about around the ten megaton range and while there have been some famous tests that high no one has actually deployed weapons with that kind of yield.

  17.  @conorredmond6217  which wont happen because most cities are not built like early 20th century Japan. Even Nagasaki failed to generate a firestorm.

  19. incorrect, they didn't all die in the war many died as children during the famines.

  20. I think not so much controversial as proven false. This guy now claiming that things would be worse is just bullshit.

  21. And it's crap.

  26. ​ @jirik2435 you realise civilian existed the southern hemisphere thousands of years ago?

  27. Yes, only people previously employed by FEMA will be permitted to help. Everyone else will have to stand to the side helplessly.

  28. Who cares? That is the reason why it is in the middle of nowhere. RAAF Tindal however...

  29.  @RichardChappell1  so enlighten us all on what detailed knowledge you have on these drills. I am dying to know.

  30.  @Omegazstar  Can you read mate?

  31.  @laurakain1524  lol it doesn't matter if it was rescinded, not his idea or if he couldn't do anything with anyone. No cheating if he gave permission.

  32. Wow great counterpoint ​ @Snarkonymous

  33. You may think you "own" it because it is registered but you wont find out until you need to defend it in court against someone saying it is too generic.

  35. Nope. Not in the southern hemisphere

  36.  @yogistogi  jet streams.

  37.  @yogistogi  so explain how all of the knowledge of these engineers, doctors, toolmakers, engineers etc is going to be lost when there are many firms and universities full of such professionals dotted all around the southern hemisphere?
    1
  38.  @yogistogi  well, think about it, you might not know but a Nigerian engineer will. A Chilean professor of medicine will be able to train new doctors, an Australian chemical engineer will be able to refine fuels etc. You do however touch on supply chain disruption which will put things back a bit but not on the scale you are trying to argue. There is no way things are going to revert back past eighties or seventies level of technology.
    1
  39.  @yogistogi  and that simply isn't true, so the scenario is basically a fantasy of yours. The southern hemisphere would avoid nuclear winter even in the worst case scenario. None of things you mention would be lost if the north was affected. You just aren't that important.

  40. Also the assumption of all of these fire storms is bullshit. This same group of scientists made some very grave predictions when Saddam Hussein set the Kuwaiti oil wells alight and had egg on their faces when they didn't happen.

  41.  @Muschelschubs3r  What part of "nuclear winter is bullshit because they wont send anywhere near the amounts of particulates into the stratosphere" don't you understand?

  42.  @AboutDaWorld  lol was he? What a knob.

  43. Or they think they are about to die anyway. Both Putin and Xi are more afraid of their own people more than anyone else.

  46. It is.

  47. ​ @carlrichards5207 no it was not the level of radiation it was the AMOUNT of fallout.

  48. Yes British leftists were spreading propaganda. And no they would not be using troops to shoot the injured they would be busy performing urgent tasks that would not sort themselves like the aforementioned story.

  49. "Simple" is the wrong term

  50. ​ @pingamalinga wrong. What are air currents?

  59. ​ @sabinereynaudsf  would make sense if Russian media had broken story. You think they decided it would be better to be quiet and tip off an American outlet?

  60. He should not have called him that but the guy was a prick to attack Musk in the first place simply for assisting at the request of the Thai officials in charge of the rescue. The court threw out pedo guy's ridiculous lawsuit for a reason.

  61.  @RichardChappell1  so at your school, in your classroom, because you claim to be able to see out of the window (which you would not be able to if you were intelligent enough to listen to and follow instructions) that means school desks would offer no protection and not save lives? You even admit that it would provide some protection from falling debris and then go straight on to the next sentence declaring that they offer no protection at all. You cannot even make sense in what you are writing you are that set on continuing the "wisdom" you heard from other ignorant people back years ago so the perfect example of the type of wilfully ignorant boomer I detest.

  62. Yes he revealed the level of direct control and censorship that the government exerts over social media platforms with the Twitter files exposé.

  68. ​ @KenOtwell referring to Boucher as his "ex-wfe" shows that you dont care about the details before opening your mouth on a topic.
    1
  69.  @KenOtwell  your ridiculous comment about the accident rate and comparing it to the rest of the industry as has been explained to you already. If you are ignorant about his personal life then why choose to make any comment about it? It indicates a lot about your character and the level of thought you put before commenting.

  70.  @kennardjohnson7875  Nope.

  71. The thing that really scares scientists is the major pandemic which will happen (not if). Sabine Hossenfelder said we were lucky to get a minor pandemic like Covid 19 to make governments serious about preparing for what is coming.

  72. There would be plenty to recycle besides iron is much more plentiful and accessible.

  73. You shouldn't be demanding "requirements" of world leaders when you don't know much about the topic yourself. This woman has cherry picked sources for her sensationalist book she is trying to sell you a copy of. Leaders get briefings from people who have studied the topic their entire adult lives.

  74.  @bigredone1030  Not in the southern hemisphere.

  75. right?

  76. Carl Sagan's writing on the topic has since been thoroughly debunked.

  77. But Hamas agreed! Well, they didn't actually agree but Cenk is confident that they "pretty much" did...

  78. Someone doesn't know much about the fight, flight or freeze response and mistook it for coolness

  79. So you have never called anyone a name ever since reaching adulthood?

  80. plantlife survived 65 million years ago and that was far, far worse.

  82. Yeah she is full of shit and has conveniently ignored anything that doesn't support the sensationalism of her book.

  83. It is called a decapitation attack. Biden or any other president is not going to order release because NORAD "thinks" only one ICBM is coming. That also assumes an ICBM would be used instead of a truck borne attack. In such a case, who would the remaining command even retaliate against? Such decision delays are the critical weaknesses of MAD theory.

  84.  @unclemurdablackandyellow5481  You do not know what you are talking about. Flying glass alone causes horrendous injuries during attacks on civilian buildings not to mention protection from flash burns, radiation, blindness and falling debris. On the perimeter of every blast would be many, many children who this would make a crucial difference in not being left to suffer a terrible death over the next week or two.

  85. How could it be "easily" outfitted for 25 years of power? Sounds like you have been lulled by the cozy catastrophe trope.

  86.  @raychernoff1135  lol storage tank of what? Diesel is not going to last 25 years. Underground hydro is... hilarious and nuclear is just not going to be simple to run let alone possible.
