If we're going to post Twitter stuff in here, can we maybe do ones that aren't signs of dementia and constant reminders that America is going to burn? Here's my contribution. https://twitter.com/classicryan17/status/948311385657827330

Scathach posted:Holy poo poo we're gonna die Well think about that for a second. If you can keep the Russians and Chinese out of a nuclear exchange (reasonably likely), North Korea only has a few nukes, and the targeting systems they run with probably have a CEP the length of Maryland. You personally probably won't die unless you're one of the unlucky people on the West Coast that happens to be underneath the essentially random place that it lands. This is a map with an overlay of the damage caused by a 300kt weapon, which is the estimated yield of their only missile-deliverable warhead (they can't lob thermonuclear warheads yet, they're a lot more complicated). So it'll probably only kill a third of a million people and produce a little under 900k casualties. You're looking at 0.1% deaths per warhead, and 0.3% casualties. If they have half a dozen, they don't even hit 2% casualties assuming they get all of them into densely populated areas. You'll probably be fine! Until the radiation gets you.

If SF is hit, Silicon Valley should still be ok, but Berkeley is turbofucked.

Over here in San Diego we’ve got the Pacific Fleet, so I guess NK has a 50% chance of nuking Mexico instead?

I work for the Hawaii state Department of Defense, so I've gotten briefings on NK's nuclear capability, given that we're probably the most likely target of the 50 states. The take-home message is "we're preparing just in case, but also don't worry too much about it." They will not be able to hit a target, even in the immensely unlikely scenario that a) their missile survives the trip there and b) they successfully detonate the nuclear payload at the correct altitude. All discussions of how many people would die apply only to this scenario in which literally everything goes right for them without even testing. They could probably hit Seoul or Tokyo spot on, given how close they are, so that's something to worry about, but the US is at the rear end end of their range, which would heavily affect their accuracy. If they fire at Puerto Rico or Hawaii they will almost certainly hit ocean instead. What I'm saying is don't tie yourself in knots over incoming white hot death. It has the potential to be pretty bad but NK is also stunningly backwards re: their military technology.

There's a reason "rocket science" is the cliche term for something really, really hard. And NK doesn't have ex-Nazis to help them with their missile program like we did. Even from a layperson perspective, if you know a bit about missiles and Cold War weapons history, it seems pretty clear that NK's nuclear capability is all bluster and no substance.

Gromit posted:Isn't the San Andreas Fault going to dump it all in the ocean anyway? No. Even the biggest earthquake on the SA fault would only shift the landmass on the western side of it a low double-digit number of meters. This flattens every single building and elevated road in LA, mind you. It just doesn't do a lot to the actual geography.

Or if you prefer the San Andreas has been bent out of shape for I dunno a few years? and crunched off a bit. Antarctic ice shelf inundating all coastal cities with 11' of water could be fun though?

Good thing the crack team of magic teenagers can infiltrate the NKs silos and set the error ratio, handily accessed and changed through a simple console, to very high numbers.

Phlegmish posted:I don't get why the lion just takes it. Is it like humans and geese Successful predators prefer to take prey when it hasn't got all it's pointy bits aimed at your face. Getting your face bitten is no fun. It hurts, it is gonna swell up, and depending on where the bite is on your face it could make it hard to eat or see for a few days. You could even get a fatal infection. (Sure, lions don't know germ theory, but these lions are descended from the ones who didn't die of easily avoidable infections.) Why take the risk of a painful injury for no benefit? They are also cats, so if they aren't particularly hungry it's more interesting to play with the tiny thing than kill it. Though sometimes that means losing your dinner to a loving velociraptor https://i.imgur.com/Dz3Cx2c.gifv
