I'd startes to turn against that in a pretty big way on my early 20s thanks to exposure to the real world, and being really mad about the knots people would tie themselves into for anti-Obama nonsense. Seriously, you're going to flip out about Michelle wearing shorts when they go on vacation?! gently caress you! I thoroughly loathed Republicans by this point. Scott Walker's bullshit after he got elected turned me from thinking libertarians were merely misguided, into outright hating them. To be fair, in 2014 the dems ran a woman whose only qualification was becoming the CEO of Daddy's corporation... and who had done next to nothing to improve or further develop the company. She was an idiot and an incompetent.

In good news: Army researchers made an aluminum nanomaterial to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen with no electricity or catalysts. https://www.army.mil/article/191212/army_discovery_may_offer_new_energy_source quote:ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- Army scientists and engineers recently made a groundbreaking discovery -- an aluminum nanomaterial of their design produces high amounts of energy when it comes in contact with water, or with any liquid containing water.

Can a president unilaterally order a nuclear strike or is there a two-man rule in place? IE: Trump gets mad at lil Kim, decides to cleanse Pyongyang, can he just ask for the football and launch? Or does he have to get someone else in his cabinet to agree as well? If so, whats to stop him from just going down the list until he gets a yes?

Two people on the NSC have to agree, I think.

But lets get real, there are enough adults in the administration and DoD that he can scream all he wants, they aren't launching poo poo unless US personnel or property is hit first. To be honest. I really don't think this is anything worth making GBS threads ourselves over. Kim Jong whatthefuckeveroneweareonnow is just doing the same saber rattling North Korea has been doing since the 50s and now we have an idiot who is yelling back. No one is going to do anything that causes actual war*. * - Subject to change.

People in the room have to not allow him to physically give the order for that to change. The people in the CoC could theoretically ignore the order but they drill such that they shouldn't ever really know the difference between a training order and a real order for that exact purpose.

Are nuke officers sequestered from the rest of the world while they're on duty so they never know if they're doing the real thing?

Two Finger posted:Been a while but I remember 47MJ/L for diesel. You need to remember though this is just the energy of the reaction, providing free hydrogen which is substantially energy denser than diesel. If you convert 220kW to MJ using E(J) = 1000 × P(kW) × t(s) you get E(J) = 1000*220*240 or 52,800,000 Joules of energy produced just from the hydrogen liberated from the reaction. That's 52.8 MJ/L for the aluminum reaction. It has a higher energy density than either gasoline or diesel, assuming no losses of energy. BTW kW is a unit of energy just like a joule, a kW/h is a unit of power (which would be wrong). So the article wasn't wrong in using kW, but it would have been better to use Joule so we didn't have to convert it. orange juche fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Aug 10, 2017 |

Maybe the Al grabs the O from the water, I forgot how to determine whether or not that would fit the bill of what they describe, i.e. the reaction being exothermic.
