Considering even a small nuke would come in at a weight exceeding that of a 2000lb LGB, mass and penetration isnt an issue - and delayed fusing is a norm for most guided munitions these days...
According to Wikipedia the tactical version of the B61 weighs just 700 pounds (336kg) and the B61 mod 11 bunker-buster weighs 1200 pounds.
It's worth noting that while 50% of all marriages end in divorce, most people who get married stay married. The stat gets skewed by the fact that many who get divorced will marry and get divorced again.
In Australia when you count first, second and third marriages, the amount of people who actually end up staying married to somebody is about 70%.
I guess that either they've finally found their true loves, or they're just too exhausted and can't afford the legal fees anymore.
I prefer the way that they do it in Australia, that everything that even supplements sold to the public have to show structure and function. This immediately cuts out the kind of shenanigans that happen in the US like when you buy herbal supplements and find out later that there is 0 amount of the plant or substance in the pills you bought. That is what we call "Fraud" in the US.
But you can still buy "homeopathic medicines" in Australia, so the rules are only partially enforced, usually only when some consumer kicks up a racket.
That's a unfounded statement that spells corporate mistrust. Not all corporations are vile and the fact that they didn't resist to the change tells me it was a mistake. Don't forget that they did this with intentions of avoiding problems, not creating more as stated by Philips themselves:
“The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.”
And not all corporate decisions to the detriment of consumers are made because the boards are comprised of sociopaths only interested in making a buck but . ..
Safety devices like reinforced doors and crumple zones give more protection against other morons. So do better brakes and sticky tyres, although they aren't usually considered as safety devices.
Things like blind spot monitoring and automatic braking are crutches for bad drivers, as the OP said.
Yes but they benefit us all in reduced costs in car insurance, public hospital and rehabilitation costs, and a generally reduced likelihood of someone running into us, regardless of how good a driver we imagine we are.
No, instead you should be getting checked out for a possible concussion. That is why you purchased this safety feature.
Who said they deliberately purchased it? Like many of the embedded "smart things" such as smart TVs and smart fridges eventually every damn thing will have it whether you want it or not, and it will be a crime to disable it.
From TFA:
The EU earlier this year passed legislation that means all new cars sold in Europe from March 2018 will have to be fitted with a system called eCall, which works in a similar way to Ford’s Emergency Assistance technology.
Yet another way for the government to monitor and track you, and what's the bet that audio monitoring can't be switched on remotely and silently if the government decides it's useful?
As an IT professional this is why I always stress using Cisco equipment for home networking equipment. A good example is the Cisco RV325 router, or the Cisco RV180W for wireless that are both strong in design, and reasonably priced for home use.
But apparently you can't use punctuation in the router's password.
Smart pills will mark a new age in mental health care.
The biggest problem, by far, is that patients are not compliant with their medication.
[ . . . ]
If a hospital can instead use a smart pill to re-medicate, the person with a serious mental illness need not self-regulate their medication.
It fact, it may be next to impossible for them to go non-compliant.
This may stop a single bad day from spiraling down into a bad week, a bad six months, and a psychotic episode that ends with police intervention.
It will truly be a revolution in mental health care.
While I see your point, often the failure to self medicate with anti-psychotics is due to the truly horrible side effects of the drugs, so for the patients it's a mixed bag.
That finally seemed to prove my point, that the school (and whoever their web portal supplier was) just wasn't competent at making this secure, if I could get past their security in a few minutes. Unfortunately I can't really report that to the school or anything because I would just end up with police at my door.
They have had the policy in place for some time and they do apply it consistently. The Church is employing a very clever advertising campaign which has resulted in them being plastered across the world. They literally could not have paid for better advertising than they've received off the back of this very clever campaign.
In a TV story on this they said that the church had discussed the campaign with the advertising agents in the middle of the year and the agents had no problem with it then, so just when was this policy introduced?
If the policy was in place when the church first approached the theaters and the church wasn't warned, then I think they have a right to ask for their production costs back
Lumbersexual is a new one to me. Apparently it's someone who grooms and dresses to appear like a person who spends a lot of time outdoors (like a lumberjack I guess).
Initially I thought it might be a guy who was capable of getting wood.
The Blu Ray version of M-Disk might be worth a look, as they're supposed to last for 1000 years. Also "backup" a spare drive that's capable of reading them.
If not I suggest printing all the data out on boxes of blue and white stripey paper.
From TFA,"One U.S. official said the hackers managed to cover their tracks well, but the official expressed confidence they would be found."
If they are found it will probably be through someone shooting their mouth off on a web site rather than by tracing them through some technical means. If you're going do to this kind of naughty then you really need to STFU. It will be interesting to see if the hackers can maintain their discipline.
No, but the assholes are, and there is a non-zero number of those in any population
Besides, I am sure that if you did this enough you would eventually be caught. After all, the thing will likely be recording video of everything around it and shipping it off to the cloud in near real time.
The cops largely couldn't be bothered and simple disguises such as hoodies go a long way to disguising identity. This is why we can't have nice things.
This is actually quite true. One of our testing tech employees complained that his cell phone did not work inside our anechoic RF testing chamber (big faraday cage full of RF-absorbing material), and wrote a letter of complaint to the FCC.
We were found to be in violation of the same act, and were required to install a cellular repeater inside our chamber that must be active any time someone is inside the chamber.
Your immediate follow up should be an FOI request asking the FCC to detail all such provisions of cellular repeaters in their own testing facilities all over America. They'll love that.
Actually, with regard to pickling, it is ONLY to get rid of and protect against BAD micros. There are plenty of good gut bacteria grown and and promoted by pickled foods, if you're talking about natural fermentation pickling like with kraut, kimchee, cucumber pickles. You can actually replenish your good gut bacteria with these foods after you might lose them due to having to take antibiotics for an illness.
Sure there is some salt, but you only have to do enough of a ratio to ensure that the healthy bacteria are able to culture and ferment you food with the acid by products and CO2.
"Kimchi, which is allegedly believed to have anti-carcinogenic properties, accounts for approximately 20% of sodium intake. Case-control studies on the intake level of kimchi and gastric [and esophageal ]cancer risk generally showed an increased risk among subjects with high or frequent intakes of kimchi."
In a doco I saw this was blamed on carcinogenic nitrosamines caused by the fermentation breakdown of proteins. It was suggested that more vitamin C with the meal would help neutralize them
There is another site like Stack Overflow (whose name I will NOT mention) that requires one to log in to use it.
I decided to never use that site, because my identity is worth more to me than whatever information might be on there.
Taking the optional Field Sobriety Test (FST) is never a good idea.
Not doing the Breathalyzer test after being arrested in Florida is also not a good idea as it results in the automatic suspension of your license and your refusal to take the test can be used against you in court. In addition, it doesn't prevent the police from obtaining a warrant to draw your blood and determine your BAC.
In Australia, refusing to take an alcohol or drug test results in you being assumed to be intoxicated to the highest level, so you get the maximum penalty anyway.
Human-dinosaur sex is technically a form of anal rape
You are obviously male and confused. Essentially all the human-dinosaur sex fantasies are of male dinosaurs having regular (especially vaginal) sex with female people. The novels of those fantasies are hardly ever bought by men.
Since the fantasy is aimed at female readers, does that mean the dinosaurs have to take the women in the stories out to dinner and on long walks together before doing the deed?
You do that. Meanwhile, we don't use the mag strip in Australia, so I'll happily prevent my card from being compatible with the less secure USA methodology.
We certainly have a mag strip on our cards and it's to allow them to be used in countries that don't have chip and pin.
While the RFID doesn't duplicate the chip, it can provide enough information to an attacker to duplicate the mag strip and the info on the front of the card, so that they can send that overseas to an accomplice to write on a dummy card and shop for easily sold goods.
The first places to burn on me are my nose, cheeks, ears, and back of the neck, in that order. The stuff typically covered by clothes are usually just fine.
A wide brim hat might help a little but really doesn't work well when you are swimming. I hate sunscreen especially on the face but clothing really doesn't work well on the face.
Australian scientists have tested wide brim hats and they give an effective sun protection factor of about 5. The fabric itself has an SPF in the hundreds but reflections off glass and pavements and atmospheric refraction of UV, plus the user looking up and around from time to time give added exposure to the face and neck.
The only people this really affected were the shareholders.
Wrong. It affects customers, shareholders, management, employees, suppliers to VW, taxpayers, regulators, dealers, the German economy and pretty much anyone else even remotely connected to VW. It will probably even have spillover effects to other auto makers selling diesel engines.
