I’m amazed that blast was estimated at only .021 Kt. The Hiroshima mushroom cloud rose 60,000’ above the air burst point. From the images I’ve seen of the Tianjin blast, the column probably exceeded 3000.’ So apparently a blast with .002%.+/- the yield renders a plume of smoke 5% the height. It is a real-world…

I will still smile as wide at that gif after seeing it a thousand times.

Because it’s a tautology?

He also worked on the prequel We Will Have Been Buying a Zoo.

So is it “normal” or is there a “normal sort” that that the article opts not to focus on in favor of drawing attention to how disturbingly widespread the chronic, severe type is?

Your declaration seems to dismiss the gist of the article in a way that somehow manages to be both tautological and self-contradictory at…

However I would speculate you’re mostly correct and some hack EW intern got it wrong. That’s some damn nutty trajectory to run from a crash.

I hadn’t heard that about Castle Bravo’s yield being more than twice anticipated. Do you know if any were any observers caught in the zone of destruction as a result. I know blast, heat, and acute radiation intensity radii each don’t increase linearly with megatonnage—but regardless—a miscalculation of that magnitude…

I thought this was settled in this very forum?

Even as a five-year-old I understood and found it vaguely clever that a surgeon would be called “Bones”—without even knowing about the “Sawbones” etymology. The revision to the divorce origin was just another Abrams nose-thumbing at old school Trekkers—pointless iconoclasm that alienated ten long-time fans for every…

Utilizing ad hoc watercraft.

Thanks much.

Hitchhiking human brutally murdered in Robodelphia.

Exactly. That (“Yesteryear”) is one I was thinking of. Really poignantly beautiful at times. Do you hapen to have a link to said podcast?

I’m sure some will contend it wasn’t a children’s series at all. To those I’d point out it ran on Saturday mornings (albeit usually as the last kids’ show as morning turned to afternoon w/ its adult fare). It had what I consider to be a few of the best, most cerebral scripts of the franchise.
