Well that’s the thing, conventional explosions convert chemical bonds into energy. Chemical bonds are fairly weak in the grand scheme of things.

Nuclear weapons convert nuclear bonds into energy. Atoms really like staying the atoms they currently are, so forcing them to convert all at once releases a ton of energy.

Nukes are crazy.

The mushroom cloud is actually caused by all the dust and debris that gets sucked up into the actual explosion.

Nuclear reactions happen at near light speed, and the heat from them does propagate at light speed.

The blindness thing is really only for a split second while the fission/fusion is actually happening. By the time the mushroom cloud has formed, the actual explosion was like 30 seconds ago.

If you see a full mushroom cloud, that means the glass in front of you is probably going to rapidly accelerate into your skull when the shockwave hits you.

I have it enabled but it has never once turned on, I know how it’s supposed to work, but no combination of charging and flipping my phone around has ever worked. 90% of the time, it just wakes up the whole display due to the raise to wake feature.

Why can’t it just be like android’s Always on Display, where it’s just on unless something is blocking the front camera. Why does Apple have to always be the weird kid in the class.

Everything is edible, but only some things are edible multiple times.

I think everyone should learn how to sharpen a kitchen knife at least.

Dull knives are dangerous, and it really only takes an afternoon to get decent at sharpening a knife.

Unfortunately there’s a lot of lore about knife sharpening, like how you need really fine grit stones, or a whetstone being the best, when in reality you can get a shaving sharp edge from a 20 dollar diamond stone from a hardware store. Sure, a 4000 grit stone will get you a mirror finish and a more refined edge that will last slightly longer, but even an 80 grit stone when used properly, will get you a good edge that will last for months without any other sharpening.

We must return to the ocean.

Accept the crab form, embrace it and all the limbs we shall gain.

It’s a single bevel.

Sharpen the angled side at the proper angle, and remove the burr by flattening the smooth side of the blade on a decent diamond stone.

I have my great grandfathers barber’s shears, and that’s how they’ve been sharpened for going on 100 years now. You need a stone wide enough for the whole blade, so that its uniformly flat, but other than that it’s pretty logical how they need to be sharpened.

That extends to all tools in my opinion.

Don’t borrow someone’s tools without their express permission, and don’t lend someone a tool unless you either know what they’re doing with it or you don’t care if it gets damaged.

My phone only has one hole and it’s way too small for me to use that way.

Your mileage may vary though, I don’t judge.

Some mad lad bolted one of these to the hand guard of an L85 and called it a weapon light.

This was, of course, really to add mass to the rifle for when it was used as a bludgeon, because it is so British that it spontaneously ejected its own magazines as a form of silent protest against violence.

That’s also why they got rid of my all time favorite candies: sour altoids.

Unrelated, but I had constant raw flesh on the top of my mouth for almost a whole year before those got pulled from the shelves.

By far my biggest gripe with the steams deck is hitting the trackpads with the palms of my hands. I usually disable them when playing a shooter like doom because otherwise the trackpads override my aim.

I do do traditional man things: woodworking, maintenance on the family vehicles, and I’ve been thinking of getting into machining as a hobby because I have a lot of hand-me-down yard equipment that’s showing its age and I might need to start making my own parts because eBay is looking kind of barren.

Anyway, none of these activities have ever made me feel “manly” I never understood what that means. I feel like myself doing either something I enjoy, or something that needs to be done. My wife always says that she likes that she married such a manly guy who can fix all this stuff and make furniture, but anyone with functioning hands and a brain can do this stuff, it’s not exactly hard. Having a penis doesn’t make you an expert carpenter or mediocre mechanic, working with wood and old engines does that.

You like a little baggy of dongles and adapters?

200miles/8hours of skating straight means an average speed of 25 miles an hour.

Ambitious, considering the average speed of a skateboarder is closer to 10 miles an hour, but it could be possible if he was extremely fit, had unbreakable bones, and the US was a flat plane for 3000 miles like this guy thought.

Is way better to draw your finger perpendicular to the edge to feel the burr. That way you don’t cut yourself on the edge or the burr itself.

Oh, see, it’s called having fun.

Hope this helps.

That’s an interesting question as to whether the infinity gauntlet rounds down.

Like, if there were 3 survivors of a species and thanos snapped the universe, does the gauntlet round up to 2 survivors, or down to one?

I was wondering how the scientists went from proposing a planet that was 1.5 to 2 times the size of earth, to proposing it being 5-10 times the size of earth.
