The idea of a bunch of lice sitting on a cooling corpse and wondering what's going on with their ride is making me weirdly sad. I guess a bunch of them would've gotten a second chance when someone stole their previous owner's hat.MikeCrotch posted:Is it the lice themselves that have scraped lines into people's skulls or just the fact that they would have been scratching like crazy 24/7 Neither, it's constant presence of inflamed bites. Something about the immune reaction eating (?) at the bone. It's not a mechanical wearing/scoring. Jamwad Hilder posted:Seems pretty simple to me. Krankenwagen!

I'm solidly of the opinion that if our political leadership were to allow things to go nuclear, not only should they not have access to a 300Mt-proof bomb shelter, they should all get strapped to the roof of the capitol naked, to wait for the canned sunshine.

I always loved the excuse they gave for these as continuity of government. Like anyone they find left on the surface wouldn't want to lynch these people the second the identify themselves as members of the government, let alone feel like listening to anything they have to say. You just got just about everyone on the planet killed and now you want to take the throne and rule over the ashes?

Some Dunkirk questions: Can someone explain to me how the reserve tanks on a Spitfire works? It seems to be something the pilot plays around with. How realistic are the ship sinkings in that film? The ships depicted seem to list or sink very quickly (within a few minutes) after single Heinkel bomb hits or torpedo hits. Is that realistic? What AA capability did they actually have on the beach? The film mostly depicts just people trying to fire upwards with rifles.

Fangz posted:Some Dunkirk questions: So your plane has drop tanks, main fuel tank, and reserve tanks (if/where/when applicable). Switching the lever basically changes which fuel tank the engine draws from. Yes and no. A single bomb could sink a ship, and that ship could sink rather quickly, but it depends on what size bomb hits and where it hits. The type of ship also depends on how fast it might sink, due to the availability of counter-flooding, or what kind of compartmentalization exists within the ship. If they had the supplies for it, they should've had some Bofors, possibly some French 25mm Hotchkiss AA guns, and other light AA guns. These probably wouldn't be directly seated on the beach. If they lacked ammo, might as well try to shoot at it/them with rifles.

Mazz posted:400 megatons, when you want to dig out a facility on the other side of the planet Nuclear underground explosions tend to sometimes create nuclear volcanoes when the pressure was calculated wrong or if the bomb layers just had bad luck. So this works perfectly fine as long as you don't want to use that entire part of the continent the bunker was in. Of course if you can calmly walk over the ground where enemy facilities are hidden and then dig down to place a nuke, you already have won the war so why would yo do this? Also apparently at some point above 40 megatons and far below 400 there comes the point where any non-underground nuclear explosion will disperse most of its energy uselessly into space, since our atmosphere is too small to contain it. That's not a solution either. The good thing about this is, you don't need a fallout-shelter capable of withstanding 300-400 megaton warheads, a tenth is enough Some text about nuclear warfare I've read ages ago basically pointed out our warhead-sizes are the way they are for psychological reasons, not military ones. No-one needs nukes that strong, a nation of smartasses could use their resources to just make ten times more warheads and every single bomb would have the same military effect as those oversized weirdo-bombs. Obviously this kind of reasoning would lead to them being used pretty shortly after that. Luckily humans aren't logical, or WWIII would have happened already and we would be intelligent cockroaches talking poo poo about that stupid dead civilization around us.

Fangz posted:Some Dunkirk questions: I'm about to nerd out on this hardcore; I can't look this up at present but I don't think that the Spit I had a "reserve tank" as such. It had two (maybe 3?) separate tanks that basically all drained into one tank, and as far as I know the pilot didn't have to switch between them. So, that is probably an anachronism put in there for drama's sake. Other planes did have reserve tanks, they were "reserve" because they usually didn't have proper pumps and thus were gravity fed and thus you couldn't do much maneuvering on your reserve tank. It was there just to get you home, straight and level. As for the ship thing I'm no expert on ships sinking but my general impression from reading The Internet is that in both movies and video games they tend to speed up the process of a ship sinking a whole drat lot. Like, the damage to Titanic was unbelievably bad and it still took hours to sink. Lusitania was a confluence of about ten different bad factors and it still took 20 minutes or something. I'm about 90% sure that's one of Erich Hartmann's paint schemes. So the guy is almost certainly a nerd, but may not be a nazi. bewbies fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Jul 24, 2017 |

Saw Dunkirk this weekend, and I thought it was pretty good! As others have pointed out, it's quite "zoomed in" to its characters' experiences, so there are large parts of the evacuation story absent. The film title actually strikes me as a bit too general, considering how focused it is. Also, Christopher Nolan is apparently a really, really, REALLY big fan of the RAF. That's not a bad thing, but he lays it on pretty thick. With Tom Hardy on the job, you can't help but wonder how the Luftwaffe had any planes left. Still, the fighter combat is very well shot and edited, and I was ultimately able to forgive the exaggeration, at least as far as enjoyability is concerned. I do wish the French side of things had gotten more exposure, just because I feel like the French armed forces never receive their due when it comes to the Battle of France. That wasn't really in the scope of the movie, although near the very beginning you do see some French soldiers holding the line, which was a nice (if comparatively tacit) nod. Where the film really shines is in conveying the sheer emotional weight of the situation. It provides a thoughtful and humane look at how people behave during times of great uncertainty and desperation, and I thought it was very effective. Nolan's movies have been hit-or-miss for me, but this was a solid hit.

That certainly sounds like Teller. He was like nega-Oppenheimer. I've wondered though if MAD did mean we had a much less violent latter half of the 20th. I'm surely aware of the millions in lost lives from proxy wars between the superpowers, but wouldn't a full-on NATO/WP war have killed many more? Without the threat of doomsday over their heads, how likely was a conventional WWIII? zoux fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Jul 24, 2017 |

basic bitch question I could potentially answer from reading wiki but gently caress that: what were the implications of Dunkirk, were the troop numbers essential to the war effort ahead? If the evactuation failed how would things have differed?

Difficult to say, especially with Stalin in charge of Eastern Europe. The Soviets had overwhelming strength compared to the United States post World War 2 in Europe, and it was estimated that in the late '40s the Red Army could have completed a conquest of the continetal bit of Western Europe in about 30 days? The fear of conventional war I'd say was a strongly restraining power in the early days, what with have the Soviet Union burned to the ground and everyone tired of war. I think without nukes the real danger would have been one side or the other seeing a chance to prune back the enemy starting a intercontinental war.
