I think the colour might be because it was just that hot. Remember that this isn't a normal fire, there's a bunch of extra energy being dumped in by the arcs.

That colour of purple is essentially the same as you get from a sustained electrical arc in air (I've done some pretty OSHA things with a CRT flyback transformer) so my guess is there is a bunch of scary arcing going on as a result of damage.

It's due to air molecules being split apart and recombining, right? Nitrogen would be the primary source of the color in that case. Lightning does the same thing, producing other chemicals like N2O when the radicals recombine. I wonder if electric arcs can produce a toxic atmosphere as well. Ozone, certainly.

Ozone is created when the air reaches breakdown voltage and an arc passes through, and ozone plasma glows purple. e: Can't be an EE without loving the smell of ozone, mmmmm.

Are they not in possession of tranquilizer dart technology? I'd have preferred to see the Tiger eat those idiots if thats the best they can do.

Imagine the fuckin' guy's bones all feeble and brittle because he doesn't understand the SHEER GODDAMNED VALUE of drinking milk regularly, to fortify your most powerful hidden weapon and ally: Your fuckin' skelebones. You got this guy twisting in the wind, he doesn't know why he's like this! Nobody does! He can barely wobble away as his particle board skeletal structure fractures and splits under the impact pressure of a light gust. Three days later he wakes up in a hospital bed, his skeleton replaced by a series of pneumatic bladders, his life a new fresh hell. Drink your drat milk you ignominious loving scoundrels.

Powershift posted:that looks like the range on blue diamond road. the last time i was there it was simply "here's the gun, here's the bullets, you're on number 2" I met some of my buddies from back home in Vegas and it took about five tries to find a place that would let us shoot our own 223. All they seemed interested in was renting machine guns and .22. The place we did find was nice though and had a competent range officer at hand and pretty reasonably priced.

Lime Tonics posted:Chinese Building Demolishing Job, Safety is #1 I'm impressed that the impact from dropping that section didn't just pancake the floor underneath and take everything with it. Obviously the reason they're demolishing the thing is because someone messed up and used actual concrete and rebar when the design clearly called for plaster over sand and garbage.

I used to live in China, and one of the local coworkers told me that the main reason for all the new construction was because a large number of Chinese people would prefer not to live in a house or apartment that has ever been lived in before. Something about energies or feng shui. So an apartment building will go up, everybody moves in, and then as people move out the apartments sit empty until the whole thing is abandoned, where they tear it down and rebuild a new one in its place so it can fill up again. With that construction cycle, it doesn't really make sense to build something to last more than five years.

The japanese detached housing market is pretty much like that. Large apartments and such are built to last (although are all generally extremely ugly, seriously japan has some of the worst just don't give a gently caress architecture) but detached houses are mostly built to just last for how ever long the family lives there. Regardless of the condition people will often tear down a house they bought then throw up a new one because otherwise ewww you're living in someone else's house that's like wearing 2nd hand underwear.
