Ah c'mon, the Soviets had amazing quality control.... :roll: It'd be worth it to see the looks and reactions you'd get surfacing that thing near a CG cutter though...once it's properly registered of course. I think I'll do that the first few times via remote control... Honestly I think it would be ...

I think the thing you are looking for is called a submarine - http://www.maritimesales.com/PI12.htm O jeez a used ex-Soviet Subarmine that has been decommission for 25 years and is thus 50 +/- years old. Can you say deferred maintenance, leaks and lord knows what. Still it would be fun to go get a ...

The HK exchange says they will fix the problem. They are going to keep 36% of everyone's money. That's a plan right there. I guess if someone robs the Federal Reserve than they would just take 36% of the money out of my accounts and I'd be cool with that. We can't have businesses paying for problem...

To put the known potential of this volcano on a scale, its previous largest eruption (934 CE) was a few times larger than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, more on the scale of the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo. The glacier coverage of the volcano makes things worse if the eruption breaks thr...

It will definitely be interesting. It looks like Ergodan is going to bring back the death penalty. The US won't care but I wonder what the Europeans will do. They either have some tough choices to make or look like hypocrites. I'd like to think that we'd close the border, but it's more likely we'll...

Any discussion, including trying to understand an enemy's capabilities when they might be evolving? I realize I am stepping near an uncomfortable line but the rules thread itself doesn't seem to say, upon my fourth or fifth examination of them today, that I've yet crossed it. None of us here thrive...

A guy I know managed to catch a mountain lion on his trail camera on the edge of a river bottom that is dotted with homes. I wish I had the picture. It was too old for a yearly contest but, well, how often do you see a mountain lion in Alabama?

Think you could spare some of that for export?

Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said anyone who suggests the attempted coup was staged was probably involved in it themselves and would face investigation.

This definitely isn't a witch hunt...

So I'm hearing some interesting and disturbing things about this bombing (of course the media needs those clicks - joke's on them though - I see advertisements only when I want to) and I can't seem to find any sources I trust that give better than incredibly vague information on the part that concer...

I'm not a machinist, metallurgist, or reloader but I have some experience with work-hardening (and subsequently breaking) itty bits of metal. I'd shoot the dented boolits, probably shoot the first dented cartridge, and disassemble the second and third dented cartridges out of curiosity. Whatever par...

Unnecessarily alarming article title found. The gene from what I've read only promotes resistance to one drug, though admittedly a drug-of-last-resort. It does not, by itself, cause bacteria to become multiple-drug resistant "superbugs." OP, I'm not really attacking you so much as the original artic...

Pretty awesome stuff.

Swords in Scandinavia in the news today. There was a fatal sword attack at a school on Sweden. Yep, the lovely trend has finally arrived at my neck of the woods. The police is calling it "stabbing weapons" so I'd take sword with a grain of salt. There are pictures of him posing with students (who t...

Silly question, but why is NASA (The National Aeronautical and Space Administration) even getting involved in earth quake predictions? Because you can do a lot of fantastically practical science using orbital radar platforms and ultra-precise global positioning. :clap: http://www-radar.jpl.nasa.gov...

Beautiful area - I'll have to visit it sometime, maybe kayak around if possible. Nice to see an alligator acting right 'n having cute lil' alligatory babies, too. Great pictures. Good ID on the anole. Can't tell the size. Cuban anoles are the only other anole species I know of and they are very rare...

I couldn't find the right kind of thread to post this in, so I'm making a new one. If anyone knows a better thread to attach this to that would be fantastic. Tl;dr version: you're better off using your nest egg to buying part of the entire market through an index fund (with their minuscule fees) tha...

Way too many tornadoes around here to have any confidence in these structures in my AO. These things routinely get pulled apart around here. Where I grew up in the PNW in a small town up in the mountains there is a family that moved into an older city building that was of this construction. They bu...

Talk about what happened the last ten years: increasing oil production costs, volatile food prices, environmental damage increasing worldwide, a major global financial crash and the threat of a new one, multiple feedback loops reported concerning global warming, news about the various epidemics and...

So how can we prepare to bugout if we dont know what the wind patterns will be till it happens. Crypto's very informative post covers that pretty well. I cut out the preface and bugging in sections but they are also worth reading. Bugging out: If you work in the affected area, or are driving throug...

There is no current plan for how to put out the fire. Discuss! In my expert opinion, someone should probably develop a plan to put out the fire before it gets to the nuclear waste. I don't know the scale of things here (I assume capital-B-big), but it might be easier to make a sort of firebreak - I...

http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/11/3/pdfs/04-0981.pdf There's that link cleaned up a bit. Edit: Ah, and I posted it earlier on page 24, I guess, though I didn't provide any synopsis or analysis of the paper in my post. I think I'm going to search around and see if there is anything in the news abo...

Can't say too much without getting political, but unless I was a Turkish citizen I would in that country stay away from anything slightly political, eastern Turkey in general, and areas known to have either Kurdish or Islamic Turkish nationalist sentiment. I understand Turkey has some beautiful beac...

Gators down there sure do seem brassy compared to the ones I'm used to. That and I don't know whether we're talking stray chihuahuas or just fish guts but someone's been feeding that alligator in the video. I think I prefer my gators to have a better understanding of their place in the food chain (b...
