Hey, try reading that again. Maybe a few lines after you saw the thing that confirmed your bias: “Very large pure fission bombs can achieve efficiencies approaching 50% but have been supplanted by thermonuclear weapon technology.”

Pure fission is not thermonuclear (modern weapons)

The seismometers say they were: https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/science/2017/09/09/north-koreas-nuclear-bomb-test-lit-up-seismometers-in-alaska/

You should look up the difference between fission and thermonuclear weapons. The nearly complete detonation of the highly-enriched core of the latter is the reason why the yields differ by an order of magnitude.

Little Boy was designed 73 years ago. How much has technology and technique changed in that time?

A lot

Little Boy was designed 73 years ago, a lot has changed.

Oops, autocorrect claimed another victim.

Maybe something from the early days of the method would only consume a few percent. Modern, computer-designed cores are highly efficient.

Hell, The 15 kiloton yield of the Hiroshima bomb had already been miniaturized to large-bore artillery scale by the mid 50s. China and Russia are #2 & #3 in the nuclear contest,…

Since when did calling for a calm resistance turn into a glowing endorsement for fascism? You need to calm down the rhetoric and use some common sense.

I worry because when the shooting starts it’ll white people vs. everyone who isn’t simply as a matter of survival. Crack a history book, you’ll figure it out.

You think you’re cute to apply that stereotype on me. But, it’s pitiful and sophomoric more than anything else.

If you haven’t noticed the message: all white people are at least complicit if not outright evil.

It’s pretty simple: Peele wanted to turn the “scared white person in the ghetto” trope on its head. Racial comedy is his shtick, it was a natural progression after that. My point has to do with YOU, the commentariat. And, you did a wonderful job demonstrating my point. I suppose you’re blind to the underlying truth:…

So, you want me dead because I dared debate a social nuance? You’re a real shining example of tolerance. You sound no different than some regressive trash.

Isn’t there an entire “punching racists is normal” movement right now? It’s not a stretch to think that the next escalation will be attacks on any conservative.

Movie with evil black family: Racist

A successful detonation would consume all of the fissile material. This particle came from something else, such as a failed reactor or squid bomb. NK only just inched into “modern” weapons design. It’s far more likely that China or Russia are to blame.

If Miata is always the answer, then this car is perfect.
If 200hp from a $33k sports car on 215 section tires is absurd, then it deserves to be called out. Subaru is making the turdliest engines of any major company right now. Their refusal to add power to any model confirms this fact. They want to push the risk onto…

TRAVEL AT THE SPEED THE CONDITIONS PERMIT!
INCREASE FOLLOWING DISTANCE IN BAD CONDITIONS!

These pile-ups are almost always the fault of asshats not following the above common sense. Your actions effect other drivers, have some respect them and their families. I’ve lost count of the mouth-breathers I’ve seen spinning…

1. Stop giving the people a reason to seek vengeance.
2. Grow a pair and fight city hall

This sounds like a wonderful tool to remove your competition from the fight. Just lead the individual on enough to get a response and they’re as good as gone.
