kerbiloid Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) Because it can. Spoiler Step by step, the tanks are going from textures to the combination of wireframe and voxel graphics. A hedgehog ball of extendable needles, surrounded by wireframe meshes, with ball chains hanging around, that's what the tank of the future will look like.

Spoiler The submarine on top is to disorient the enemy. He will think that it's a ship, impossible on land, while it's an assault tank.

DDE Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Bell YFM-1 Airacuda This thing had to compete against the P-39. No, those aren't really gunners but mostly loaders, the thing had centralized fire control for the 37 mm guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDE Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Castle Bravo. "We accidentally overshrimped the Shrimp, and so our 6 Mt H-bomb output 15 Mt" Combined with a "nah, it will be fine" attitude to wind forecasts, this led to extraordinary radioactive contamination across more or less the entire Pacific region.

kerbiloid Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) They were sure that the white powder Spoiler is of just 40% concentration, and the dealer had ensured them the other 60% is just a ballast and doesn't make trips. But that 40% of the powder had hammered them so much, that the other 60% joined, so they were completely overdosed. Spoiler They were saving expensive 6Li by using 60% of 7Li, presumably being inert, but at that temperature it fused very well as well, so the yield was 250% of expected. If I were them, I would call that shrimp LiLi. Because 6Li7Li. Edited June 13 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnemoe Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 On 6/13/2024 at 11:49 PM, DDE said: St. Petersburg's Gunboat Isle looks like something I desperately avoid in Cities: Skylines: Looks like an elevated railroad track, now you will notice an freight train passing on it, on the other hand my sister had an apartment 5 meters from an railroad track, it was just separated by an one lane road to the apartments. And its places closer in Oslo, as in they cut off part pf an block to add more tracks. Now in Trondheim, Norway they bolted an pedestrian and bike path to the side of an railway bridge. You noticed then trains passed. This is more common on narrow bridges who was designed with sidewalks but they bolted it on the side to make both the road and sidewalk wider. 4 hours ago, Lisias said: This: I don't know what it is, neither want to know. I say its an useless small pickup, now it might be an decent 2 seat car with an useful trunk, you have an decent crumble zone and its still short while not looking as stupid as many mini cars. But they made it an pickup, probably for tax reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One major benefits for semi trailers is that you can drop off an container sized trailer and leave. They can even be sent by ship or rail and picked up by an truck and moved to destination. Much more expensive than an container but do not require heavy machinery to put off. Also why the small low driver compartment? As you say cool but impractical. Is the engine in the rotating part?
