  1. Here you n go. Plutonium-1, Plutonium-2, Plutonium-3, ... Waiter! Wait... Oh, ...
  2. Herds of nerds upon the hill.
  3. Thorium is alpha-active. That's how it looks like. Helium is resistant to irradiation with particles... ... and electromagnetic fields. Also
  4. Banned for inventing a special word for 3.14.
  5. It's not a tank, it's a cauldron. Waiter! A gammaburger with cheesium.
  6. Collect three supermutant arms, twenty two mirelurk shells, ten deathclaw death claws, fifteen vampire tongues from Arefu, boil it in a radioactive geyser. While doing that, you will suddenly find an old fridge with a recipe inside. Why is the Mothership Zeta furniture so perfect?
  7. Avidemux is da thing! If select the save format as Mpeg4 AVC (x.264), its Video / Filters / Crop allows to easily crop the video and save it in a custom resolution in best quality, while many others abuse you with fixed resolutions and black spaces. Also the quality is set just by a spinbox ("20" looks very good for me.)
  8. Affect the local wind pattern, the biosphere has been adapted to. Like the hydroplant affects the fish routes, and their ability to reproduce.
  9. 1. The total energy doesn't depend on the way it's extracted. Only total energy value plays a role. Same generated power is extracted by stopping same kinetic energy per time. 2. The river power is actually an air mass kinetic energy. The air brings the water mass to the top of a mountain and drops it. The potential energy of water on top turns into kinetic energy of water below. So, a hydroplant is exactly a concetrated air power plant, just using water as a mediator. 3. The air lake is not the whole Earth, but a very cramped area full of windmills, close to the main energy consumers, which are basically concentrated in large cities. If dismiss the cities and make the spread in cottages, the logistic arm and the building material requirements will grow by an order of magnitude, and this will be much worse. The areas with stable and strong winds are very specific and not large. Mostly theyr are along the coastline, where the daily gradient of pressure exists constantly and is significant. So, the damage from the wind power plants is not distributed around the ocean, it's concentrated along the coastal regions,
  10. You would have to have a wall of turbines in a circle around the Earth to even get close. Both hydro- and wind- turbines just transform the kinetic energy of fluid into electricity. While their speed is comparable, water is 800 times denser than air, so a hydropower plant is more compact. The damage which it causes to nature is concentrated, while the damage from windpower plants is at least same but scattered and thus not such obvious. But both need to stop the same fluid mass for same energy.
  11. In Katyusha there is absolutely no word about war, only "fighter/soldier" and "border". Also no word about politics, it's pure lyric.
  12. No known physical laws deny them. Absence of positive result doesn't mean presence of negative, it's just undefined. Not a denial of science, but possible science-based rational explanations which can be proven or disproven. "Falsifiable/unfalsifiable" can be applied to a theory, and this is a brainstorm, where you are free to bring more proven hypothesis as a theory and thus disprove others if its evidences are scientifically solid. I (together with my shift) personally have seen a "milk-white smooth triangle"-type UFO, quickly and soundlessly passing right over our airdrome, in clear weather, at enough low altitude to be clearly seen. I have no idea what it was (a special plane, an alien ship, a supernatural invasion, a temporal hole from future, or what), but definitely not a mass hallucination. Should I have a scientific explanation? No, it's just an empirical expirience. Another things is those "patterns" in the crop fields which are "of course made for fun by bored farmers". In Soviet times my dad was piloting a plane over Tajikistan crop and cotton fields, and from time to time had seen those patterns. You can be sure, that nobody in: 1. Soviet. 2. Tajikistan would be playing on collective farm fields this way. It's much easier to imagine a Jinn coming from Mars to do that, than a Soviet Central Asia tractorist in this role. It's just absolutely excluded, as they have much simpler rural entertainments, and such act of sabotage would be investigated highly seriously.
  13. , like the: Stones falling from the skies. Continents crawling along the planet Huge (twin) landmass at the "opposite" side of the planet, when every educated man knows that it's a disk with Jerusalem in the middle, surrounded by ocean, and (the educated man) is seeking for the Prester John's Kingdom which definitely exists somewhere over here. Planets moving not along the perfect circles, regardless of gravity which makes heavy things fall because it is in their nature. Small pieces of hot water quickly colliding each other, rather than obvious heat substance which can be poured from one body into another one. (Just can't imagine how this stupid idea could be thought out. Colliding pieces of water making it hot, just try to imagine this... ) Flies having six legs while even Aristotle, whose unspeakable wisdom is not to be questioned, clearly wrote that it has eight. Flying machines heavier than air, which can fly horizontally instead of falling down. Venomous mammals laying eggs. P.S. Australia. South America, XV century.
  14. This strange moment when the astrophysicists of the world dream of that post was not a joke.
  15. Then it's not US YOURS, it's THEIRS.
  16. Still wondering if we actually need to upscale the planet marble model.
  17. I understand you, bro. Blink twice if need a help.
  18. Cool things shrink, large things expand. We should distinguish the winter and summer Moon and Mars diameters and introduce a seasonal planet size coefficient.
