Stoatbringer posted:The car group I'm in on facebook is mostly people asking for advice or showing photos of their freshly-polished paintwork, but there are regularly idiots who posts photos of their dashboard saying things like "Wow, just hit 50,000 miles!" or "Anyone know what this warning light means?" while the speedo clearly shows they're travelling at 75mph. If you don't take a photo of your odo hitting 69,420 while going 69 mph, you're doing it wrong.

Damping is the reduction of vibrations through energy dissipation (e.g. through friction.) Dampening is getting things wet (which, to be fair, Teslas are also very good at!)

They stopped using the shotguns (TP-82) in 2007 because it used bespoke ammunition that expired in that year. For a while they carried Makarov pistols, but as I just learned, they had quietly stopped doing that by 2014.

Color scheme on those remind me of the cheap lidl cutting discs. They suck. Best ones are 3M Cubitron II. But Mirka has a pretty good cutting disc too that you get 10x in a tin for a decent price.

If it's anything like the forests in CO (and it looks like it might be, but it's impossible to tell, of course) then it's just a big tinderbox. Looking at how far the gently caress back those cars are I'm wondering what's in that truck. There has to be some kind of extra hazard there to prevent people just walking up with a shitload of fire extinguishers. Given the dirt road with multiple visible semis also suspecting that it's way the gently caress out in the bush/backwoods somewhere (like, supplying a mine or oil rig in BF Nowhere, Alaska or something) and the water plane was the only other option besides just letting it burn out. Which, as you said, probably wasn't attractive due to the potential of creating a wildfire.

Yeah there are places like for instance in southern europe where there are forest fires basically every summer and I could see them bringing a canadair down on a truck in these places out of abundance of precautions

Also, USFS air arm/CalFire air arm gets an astonishing amount of money to keep a tanker ready during fire season and tbh, you gotta justify just how much all that poo poo costs somehow.

Military expenditure is easy to justify: there are billions of humans on this planet and currently deployable US armies are just not up to the task of completely exterminating each and every one in a feasible time frame! even modelling the effects of every single weapon of mass destruction, there's just no guarantees that some small groups might not survive for YEARS or possibly DECADES afterwards in various shelters.

I would believe that when the call came in it was immediately converted into an opportunity for serendipitous training. Like how when you want to demolish a building you can let the fire department set it on fire and put it out as practice

I wondered for about a quarter second why they didn’t just carry bear spray, and then I remembered that a Soyuz is a very small confined volume, docked to another pretty small confined volume. And then I imagined them having to depressurize and repressurize ISS to clear the accidental discharge.

Much worse, a bullet or series of bullets is just a micrometeor impact. The station is designed to take those kind of hits.
