Platystemon posted:There is a kernel of truth to what your father is saying. Oh I'm perfectly aware of the long term growth of the chain as the plates moved, but that he thinks it's the plate movement causing the eastward march of the rifts in this eruption that shocked me. I guess one of the side effects of a much longer life span than those several generations ago had is that we get to see the effects of old age more. Hell, I'm way over the average lifespan of a human in 1950 myself, let alone my father. Edit: ^^^ That was an expensive drive-by. Why in the world was the Quantas Airbus backed out so far from the gate?

Carbon dioxide posted:French tourists get out of their car in a cheetah enclosure in a drive-through Safari park in the Netherlands. They're lucky it was cheetahs who aren't top predator in their own environment and who are behaviorally more skittish and less aggressive than say lions or tigers. Dolph C. Volker has a lot of big cat videos on youtube and cheetahs in particular. E: I guess this was all hashed out a while ago, I take too long to check up on this thread.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:That was a Turkish Airlines A321, not Qantas. Ah, thanks. We get neither of them here and I thought it sort of looked like the pictures of Qantas I've seen. Thanks. According to that report, the Turkish A321 had just arrived, but it looks like the ground crew were not in place so they must have been waiting for them to show up to guide them in that last little bit. Just seemed weird that it was so far away from the gate just sitting there.

Piggy Smalls posted:Thank you!!! I think the “Emergency 51 tones” were badass. Can anyone buy and use a MOTOROLA MINITOR TONE Pager and use it to listen to my city fire department tones? Pick up a "RTL-SDR" dongle and you can listen to basically any unencrypted radio in your area. There are literally hundreds of vendors selling these things so they're dirt cheap and they can tune across the majority of the spectrum you'll hear audio on. I like the kit these guys sell as a beginner package: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/ There are applications that'll act as a scanner, there are applications that can receive ADS-B transmissions from aircraft, AIS from ships, weather satellites, all sorts of things. There's not a dedicated SDR thread here AFAIK but if you're interested they get discussed a lot in the amateur radio and shortwave threads.

spog posted:I tried SDR sharp a few months ago and couldn't get my head around it I like SDR#, I don't really think there's much simpler out there. Follow the guide here to get started: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-quick-start-guide/  This is a screenshot of it running on my PC right now tuned in to a local FM broadcast station at 98.5 MHz. The frequency setting is at the top. You can mouse over the digits and scroll, you can click the tops/bottoms of the digits, you can click in the field and type, or you can just click directly on the spectrum visualization. It should automatically change modes for common bands, but as a general rule Wide FM is for broadcast, Narrow FM is most other VHF/UHF voice, and AM or the two single-sideband variants will be most common on lower frequencies The spectrum display shows the entire range being captured by the SDR, the highlighted portion is the channel I'm tuned in to. The bandwidth setting controls how wide this is off of the center frequency and will be automatically adjusted to sane defaults with each mode. The lower "waterfall" section shows the history of the waveform being captured. It's not really interesting when looking at broadcast FM but can be helpful in finding signals when monitoring ham or public safety bands. In my screenshot you can see the two flat sidebands outside of the selected area, those are the HD Radio signal. If you have further questions, rather than derail this thread let's take it over to the Amateur Radio thread since apparently the Shortwave thread has fallen off to the archives. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2827275 ickna posted:I suggest HDSDR IMO HDSDR isn't any easier to understand and has a more non-standard UI, where SDR# at least feels like a standard Windows application. wolrah fucked around with this message at 17:21 on May 14, 2018 |

well like of course it is, it's really obvious from a brief look of earthquake casualty numbers. Besides the obvious example of 2010 Haiti (a 7.0 is bad but holy gently caress it shouldn't be 100k + bad) perhaps even more striking is Italy : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Italy . Keep in mind that a (quoting from wiki here) Mw of 7.0 releases about 32 times as much energy as one of 6.0 and nearly 1,000 times that of 5.0 . So to see these two low 6's in the past decade kill around 300 people each is just ridiculous for a modernized relatively rich country, and showcases how building standards reduce the death toll by orders of a magnitude (and Italian corruption). Right at the top of the list you have a 4.2 leading to a couple deaths and 40! injuries from things like structures collapsing which is just fuckin' insane -- a 4.2 should be a barely noticeable rumble. For comparison, fracking states like Oklahoma have seen a surge in earthquakes with 4.0-4.5 being relatively common and even ones as large as mid 5's. As far as I know there have been several injuries cumulatively from all of them and no deaths. Of course the magnitude doesn't tell the whole story and there are other factors which play a large roll but there's a clear discrepancy between the two countries in building standards. It's a lot like "snowstorms" in the south of the US. It doesn't take more than a light dusting on the highway to overwhelm both peoples skills and experience, but also the infrastructure. Preparation, planning, and proper infrastructure can mean the difference of hundreds of thousands of lives. tsa fucked around with this message at 17:36 on May 14, 2018 |

Italy has a lot more old stone buildings than the US I would think, see that medieval church collapse that killed a bunch of people during a quake some years back for example

Yeah it's a poo poo hole, I just took a tour through the city centre in Google Maps street view and it's pretty depressing. One of my uncles live in Darwin way up north in that state and he's an alcoholic dying from cirrhosis and he's got something like 12 kids and 40 grandkids because there's nothing to do up there except drink and gently caress.
