Am I the only one that finds it ironic that you have to have an account and be logged in in order to read this book on medium?

I'm pretty sure once everyone actually saw how horrible Hiroshima really was, they changed their thinking, even if it was only ever so slightly.

My great uncle was sent in (right after the Japanese surrendered) by the US Army, to clean up, and help rebuild ground zero. He was supposed to be two weeks on, two weeks off. He was in the hospital by the 4th day, and by the end of what was supposed to be his first two weeks on, he was back to the USA in a hospital clinging to his life. That was almost a month after they dropped little boy.

He, and many hundreds of thousands of others never recovered, and needlessly suffered the rest of their lives.

That was undoubtedly one of the reasons that low fallout, and more targeted weapons were perfected. The human casualty of something like Hiroshima is too much, even when you're at war.

He was the first one to ever tell me that people were literally vaporized, and the only way you knew they were standing there is your could see their charred outline on the wall. Years later I saw a 50 year Hiroshima revisited show, and they showed pictures of it. Exactly how he described...

We've been over this...

Lol

Can you kamikaze other planes?

Here's some good info here:

Apparently a lot of them aren't paying attention to exactly what is really happening right now!

Someone is so hell bent on stopping these protests, they are given the time and resources to trawl the internet for 6 months finding and combing through every single picture, to find every single person that was there that could possibly be prosecuted for it.

They probably picked up, and cataloged every single rock for evidence (but not the rubber bullets or empty tear gas canisters) so that eventual charges could be placed on whatever individual or individuals threw every single one of those rocks.

Leave no stone unturned indeed...

Have they found those kids riding around shooting out car windows with a BB-gun yet? No

Did they try and get security footage when my car was looted? No

Did they ever find out who stole my kids bike from the bike rack behind school? No

Have they ever tried to solve any of the crimes that have happened to me... Again... No

When petty crimes happen to petty people, they don't do a thing to help them, but when those same crimes happen to them, they have infinite resources, they can go on Instagram and find you! And you know what makes them especially ticked off, is if you dare think they're focusing our tax dollars on the wrong priorities.

But... Let's not forget!!! If you're White and have a giant gun, you're welcome to head straight to the Capitol, go inside, get right in the face *literally nose to nose* with the Police and scream your fucking head off, and that's totally ok...

But for some reason, if you even try spit at one while they pepper spray you in the eyes, that's a crime, with DNA evidence, and you just sealed your fate...

What a perfect distraction while they finish up taking everything that's left for themselves...

Engines are rated in both IHP (indicated horsepower) and BHP (brake horsepower). IHP is a calculation based on the cylinder pressure, and engine configuration (bore, stroke, number of cylinders) and BHP is what you measure on the Dyno (brake) and it includes all of the internal losses of the engine. The higher the ratio of the two are, the more efficient the engine is.

Lighter pistons will not necessarily increase IHP, but they will increase BHP but they do allow you to extract more power from the fuel because they are easier to accelerate and decelerate as they go up and down, and they make better use of F=MA due to having less reciprocating mass.

They use AI to change the altitude slightly, so they can ride winds from different directions, and circle over an area.

Google loon blog has written about it a couple times.

It's fascinating.

I sometimes work in a very rural shop with limited electrical capabilities, and you have to turn the milling machine on in order to get the lathe to start, or it causes quite a brown out!

4 years ago they replaced the fiber with microwave relays because the speed of light is so much faster in open air than it is in fiber.

Not that it's perfect lol

Aww poor guys...

I don't see how he could sell them faster than he could buy them.

Put in fake big buy order
Sell a bunch of the same thing
Have those sell contracts execute
Cancel big buy order before it executes
Profit

Did the size of the buy order cause a delay because it commanded review?

Even so, I would think that if you tried to buy a million shares at that much of a premium that there would be hundreds of computerized automatic trades just waiting for the number to cross a threshold that would be executed immediately.

HFT would buy your shares from you for 103, and sell them back to you at 105 before you could get confirmation of the sale, and cancel the first buy!

He must have figured something out:)

They actually can't improve fuel efficiency. You need to have a sightly rich mixture in order to have enough leftover fuel in the exhaust to feed the reaction in the catalyst.

Stoichiometric air fuel ratio is 14.7 : 1 or a lambda of 1.0 IE every bit of fuel has sufficient oxygen to burn, or all the available oxygen has been used for combustion.

Typical three way catalysts operate around 0.993 to 0.997 lambda (the TWC window) so there is about 0.5 percent more fuel being put into the engine than it has the oxygen to burn.

This is lit off in the catalyst after injecting more air from the crankshaft driven air pump (also an additional load)

So, not only do they require the engine to run richer than normal, they add a parasitic load on the crankshaft, and cause a slight increase in exhaust back-pressure.

But the result is worth the trouble!

Here's more info on the TWC window, and why it is where it is.

Too bad we have to eat food covered in Roundup to get the efficiencies required to sustain the population...

Well, we wouldn't have to, but the drive for increased profits has ignored the health of the consumer

I don't want to be first in line anyways!
I'm not anti-vax, but the rush to get these vaccines out scares me.

My friend was in the peace corps, and she got a botfly infestation in her neck after she hung her clothes out to dry...
Nobody told her not to do that!
She had to put specially folded duct tape on her neck to suffocate them, wait a day or so, then they try and back out of your neck... So you wait till when they've wiggled most of the way out of you, then you pinch the tape to try and grab them and pull them out without breaking of the head inside you!
