Listen, shouldn’t Penn be super nervous that El Chapo is going to order someone to track him down and kill him in an especially gruesome way? They were tracking him the entire time!

It could have fizzled, but I think it’s much more likely that they either attempted a boosted fission device or a deployable warhead design. I mean, if you’re going to weaponize the design, you have to test it.

A really good example of this was when Germany unified back in 1990-91. This was a first world country assimilating a country with a hardworking, dedicated population who passively resisted, helping to cause an end to the Cold War. It still almost ruined their economy it took them YEARS to get back to where they were.

Nope, we’ve have them as small as 40kt (poseidon SLBM warhead) and some even went smaller. We were really inventive with our designs back in the day.

I guess it’s possible that they used a boosted fission design using tritium, which would technically make it a hydrogen bomb. Or they had an ER design which had a small secondary with no tamper. Or it was a two-stage test that fizzled. But given the seismic readings I can’t see how this was a successful test of a full…

Arent Mormon’s supposed to have a year of food in their basements in case of emergency? Isn’t protecting birds from government tyrrany an emergency?

As the proud husband of a redhead, these guys are fucking idiots.

Sorry, I was replying to Burnetko, or at least trying to.

The Sovereign American Citizen movement has killed more cops and federal agents in the last forty years than any other organization. The 3% movement and the Oath Keepers have their roots in the Sovereign American Citizen groups, which have THEIR roots in the Posse Comitatus movement.

I’m not sayin it’s the same thing, but Muhammad Ali becoming a conscientious objector and going to jail in the prime of his career had an impact. Lebron could have a bigger impact for a much more important issue and not have to worry about being incarcerated.

Two questions:does every Eagle have to carry one? What is the maneuver penalty/g-limit for this bad boy?

Fear is also a response when another nation decides to completely overreact in the name of politics and rid itself of a problem by indiscriminately killing an entire ethnic group for the actions of a few radicals.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

We spent an inordinate amount of blood and treasure (most of which was given to companies like Halliburton, Blackwater, Triple Canopy, G4S, etc...) to train and build an Iraqi army. One that could defend itself. Hundreds of billions of dollars spent to train an army that melted away like a popsicle on a sidewalk in…

My children go to a school where Arabic is the third most-spoken language. There is a huge immigrant population here. When you watch them on the playground, you don’t see Muslim kids and Christian kids and latino kids and african kids (Amharic is the 4th main language), you see kids. The may look different, but their…

Oh, glad to see the Keyboard Ranger has struck! Thank you for protecting us and putting that goddamn journalist with a real job out of his misery with your BLISTERING commentary.

One? Is that all you got? We've had two TODAY! Fuck you, man...

I love this show. I love the acting, the casting, the writing, all of it. The plot twists are well done, and I have some moments of genuine anxiety.

I would think that it would have to have several different densities to work properly... From what I’ve read you use X-rays to ablate the fogbank/styrofoam, so you may need both to have a implosion to get the velocity and pressure you’d need to compress the secondary/tertiary and initiate fusion.

They key would be the initiator. Polonium and Beryllium are pretty freaking hard to come buy. An external initiator would be an acceptable alternative, but again obtaining it and timing it would be a problem.
