On the Nuclear talk; Tsutomu Yamaguchi the only man to be recognized as living through both Nuclear drops. He died at age 93 from stomach cancer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsutomu_Yamaguchi Hiroshima bombing Yamaguchi lived and worked in Nagasaki, but in the summer of 1945 he went to Hiroshima for a three-month-long business trip.[3] On August 6, he was preparing to leave the city with two colleagues, Akira Iwanaga and Kuniyoshi Sato, and was on his way to the station when he realised he had forgotten his hanko (a stamp allowing him to travel), and returned to his workplace to get it.[4][5] At 8:15, he was walking back towards the docks when the American bomber Enola Gay dropped the Little Boy atomic bomb near the centre of the city, only 3 km away.[3][6] Yamaguchi recalls seeing the bomber and two small parachutes, before there was "a great flash in the sky, and I was blown over".[5] The explosion ruptured his eardrums, blinded him temporarily, and left him with serious burns over the left side of the top half of his body. After recovering, he crawled to a shelter, and having rested, he set out to find his colleagues.[5] They had also survived and together they spent the night in an air-raid shelter before returning to Nagasaki the following day.[4][5] In Nagasaki, he received treatment for his wounds, and despite being heavily bandaged, he reported for work on August 9.[3] Nagasaki bombing At 11 am on August 9, Yamaguchi was describing the blast in Hiroshima to his supervisor, when the American bomber Bockscar dropped the Fat Man atomic bomb onto Nagasaki. His workplace again put him 3 km from ground zero, but this time he was unhurt by the explosion.[6] However, he was unable to seek replacement for his now ruined bandages, and he suffered from a high fever for over a week.[3]

Choco1980 posted:To put things in perspective, Arnold Schwarzenegger is reportedly 6'2", so not short. Reminds me of when in college I caught a live ECW matchup, and afterwards many of the wrestlers came and met fans outside. The camera, it turns out, not only adds pounds, but reduces inches. There was one guy, Spike Dudley, who would get treated like he was a midget in the ring, to the point of often being picked up and thrown by others, that in person I realized was the same height as myself, an average height dude. The "average" height wrestlers towered over me. I can't even fathom what it'd be like to meet a huge guy like Andre in person. I flew from Houston to Dallas after the Wrestlemania in 2000 with half the wrestlers. They don't really fit in a coach seat.

Your wikipedia quote is for more of a modern definition of the term. Wake did in fact mean that it was a watch over the body to see if they woke up/ward off evil spirits. That is why the body could never be alone and had to always be watched. This is also why in some cultures wakes were large parties to make as much noise as possible to try and wake the dead. Read a few more books/websites than wiki.

MrJacobs posted:Because it can make anyones rear end look great. Unless you have some kind of genetic butt based disorder where one cheek is bigger than the other, then it might not help that much. What if you just wore one skate?

syscall girl posted:I was a little late to the Joe game but I did end up with the one modeled after the A-10. By that point they'd abandoned Uber patriotic colors for day-glo though so it looked like something Khadafi would fly. They made the A-10s in Blue, Grey, and then in the late 90s went all neon tiger stripped.

hattersmad posted:I think it’s stock, looks like it anyways. No idea on the intake. I think they got lucky, cause it doesn’t look like 4WD either. like my Jeep, intake is at the top of the engine bay. So as long as your hood isnt submerged its good to go.

hazardousmouse posted:Musk is doing his very best to ruin the night sky for the entire world, until we figure out how to shoot satellites out of orbit. From what I understand the light pollution caused by starlink is from the initial deployment of the satellites and not them floating around up there.
