Isn't there some sort of telling, like speed or thrust or some shit, to the amount of rhombi or diamond shapes you can visibly spot in exhaust of a jet?
Here are some new and neat designs for Overgrowth.

I wonder how often farmers using steam tractors accidentally set their crop on fire.

This is a Pyrosome (Ge. [I]Pyrosoma[/I], Sp. [I]Atlanticum[/I]) "colony" (the wording gets a bit odd). This small little guy is only a few millimiters in length, and has no bones or large nervous system. They move as they eat, by sucking in water and spraying it out the back end of their digestive system.

This is an adult Pyrosome colony. These are not the combinations of individuals nor the conglomeration of specialized organisms (like some Jellies). They are clones. All of them.[/quote]

Again, as long as you don't shovel sawdust into the fire and have the spark mesh in the smokebox, there's no problem if you're wood fired, even less so if you're firing it with coal. If you ran them on propane, butane or oil you wouldn't have to have the mesh or anything else like that

though if you didn't have a proper ash pan and were harvesting grain, you'd be in some trouble. but you'd have to be pretty dumb/desperate to do that.
Here's a thunderstorm microburst near Phoenix. Looks like an atomic bomb.

That's a cosmic horror if I ever saw one.
Wonder how many inches of rain that produced.

"spider helm."
Idk who thought of that name, but if someone was behind me and said "hey you wanna try on my spider helmet?" I would probably start walking very quickly to the other side of the room. All jokes aside, the imagery of that piqued my interest and of course I started shifting through the random pages of the internet and found this:

This has a few interesting images, but of course you can't really see them nicely because of the site so I went out my way to find a larger image of that spider helmet and a few other interesting ones:

Apparently the Art Institute of Chicago (god I really wanted to attend there, but ofc money.) has a really extensive collection of authentic medieval arms and armors if anyone else is interested in these and lives in the area you can go hop on over.

I've been and seen it and unless I missed a whole lot of stuff I wouldn't call the collection extensive. Still, it was all pretty cool. Would post pics, but they ended up getting deleted off my phone.

I just meant that it is a good collection of arms and armor from that period of time and can be a great resource for those interested in that niche of anthropology. For me anyways I dont really have anything around me that has any kind of collection geared towards that interest, so I find this stuff to be a goldmine personally! (Also I don't honestly know if they display the entire collection, though if interested it is the Harding collection)

Didn't Bush threaten that he would use nukes if Saddam used chemical weapons on Coalition forces during Desert Storm?

I don't know if there was a specific threat to do so, but American policy has been for a while (since Nixon if I remember right) that all WMDs are considered equivalent, and an attack with a chemical, biological or nuclear WMD can be retaliated to with any other chemical, biological or nuclear WMD. The reasoning was actually so we could cut out our chemical and biological weapons research, since we could just use nukes as a deterrent against all three. And since by the time of the First Gulf War we'd destroyed our bioweapons arsenal and decommissioned our chemical weapons, all that would have been available to respond to a chemical weapons attack would be nuclear weapons.

What exactly is the reasoning behind that? It seems that using nukes against something like sarin gas is momentously extreme.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;50764526]What exactly is the reasoning behind that? It seems that using nukes against something like sarin gas is momentously extreme.[/QUOTE]
Nukes can be small. The B57 pictured has a maximum yield of 20kt, downright tiny for a nuke. The B61 pictured had a setting (it's a Dial-a-Yield bomb) as low as 300 tons, which is within an order of magnitude of the largest non-nuclear bombs. So it's suitably sized for tactical battlefield use - taking out an artillery position that's firing gas shells, for example.
And yes, it *is* overkill, deliberately. Our nuclear arsenal scares the crap out of everyone, and knowing that an anthrax or sarin attack will be met with hydrogen bombs means that nobody wants to escalate that far. It works - during both Gulf Wars, Saddam didn't use chemical weapons on Coalition forces, despite possessing rather large stocks of them.
And because deterrence with nukes works, America scrapped and destroyed its bioweapons stockpiles, and is in the process of destroying its chemical weapons stockpiles. They're dangerous to *us* just to have around, so it's overall safer for everyone. America eliminating its stockpiles let Russia safely eliminate their stockpiles, since they no longer have to fear such an attack from the US, again making the world and themselves safer. (And I've heard they have a similar policy but I haven't been able to confirm)
