I always find it interesting when people say Chernobyl meltdown rather than Chernobyl disaster. A disaster is what actually happened (disaster meaning an explosion caused by the rapid heating/vaporization of the cooling fluids causing the rods to be expelled from their housing/building..you know through the roof),…

Since a sample size of just one won't do, I will also help out.

Fun dip?

Until they realize most standards are more like a pass/fail type scenario.

Amen Brother. I might even have the standard for this particular fuel line.

I'm not the compliance guy for the fuel line there, but I am a compliance guy. So I must say when reading this I felt a little well, I said "douche bag" while reading.

Om nom nom.

Pretty much. In 1978, you'd need maybe two unless there was a hydrant handy. Nowadays, (when that much free gas is involved), you can get away with one truck with chemical (BC, ABC or PK) sprayers.

So a while back I was doing some research for work on this sort of thing. Yeah.

o man, Trarch is almost over!

Obviously we want some sort of Narnia scenario here where there are no bad guys.

You surely mean Guy Fur'yeti.

The most aggravating part about this is city officials in Florida are so illiterate that they don't bother figuring out if another city already tackled this problem, so they just flail about with bizarre new rules as if they were the first city to ever have to deal with (something thousands of cities have dealt with).

Call me a weirdo but I love that they line up for the subway.

The only visualization I need.

I don't really treat sriracha as a hot sauce, as it isn't that hot.. for me anyway. Then again, I also add cayenne powder to my frank's red hot.

So, this slider is interesting.

Techno break light/sound emitter.

Yeah, I am sure his kids never saw him building this.

Well, the quoted bit is from the original paper, and not from a tech/science blog.
