His Divine Shadow posted:Don't knock it, it's super cheap and carbon neutral to boot. Most work intense option though. Might sound like the 19th century but there a lot of new houses being built here (Finland) with wood heating. Though geothermal heat pumps are moving in, that's what we got and it's really nice and cheap to run. Many people probably still think wood heating is only log-based. http://energy.gov/energysaver/wood-and-pellet-heating posted:Pellet fuel appliances are more convenient to operate than ordinary wood stoves or fireplaces, and some have much higher combustion and heating efficiencies. As a consequence of this, they produce very little air pollution. In fact, pellet stoves are the cleanest solid fuel, residential heating appliance. Pellet stoves that are certified by the EPA are likely to be in the 70% to 83% efficiency range. Pellet stoves have heating capacities that range between 8,000 and 90,000 Btu per hour. They are suitable for homes as well as apartments or condominiums

Three-Phase posted:I have a cheap little Radex digital geiger counter that measures Beta and Gamma. It's a good "around the house" geiger counter. Wouldn't use it elsewhere. I'd ask what the hell you're keeping around your house, but then I look at your avatar and get distracted by China Syndrome youtube clips again.

Cat Hatter posted:But who cares about any of that. Back of an envelope calc doesn't put that below even an 18" frost line if he really used 15 tons of gravel and 15 tons of soil on top of his nice flat-topped slab. (I have no idea what the frostline is in Peterborough.)

OSHA Enemy Number One, Colin Furze, poured the concrete for his bunker and it hasn't collapsed yet

I want to believe this is what happened after the military escort bumped the nuke truck.

Kenlon posted:My favorite air (near) disaster story is still United 232. No hydraulics, flying the drat thing by purely adjusting the throttle, and they managed to get it down almost safely - 185 survivors out of 296 aboard. Hell of a thing. I was trying to figure out why this story seemed familiar and turned out I knew it from a Netflix thing recently. Denny Fitch's account of this is amazing with detail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Victor_Romeo#Accidents_and_incidents

Three-Phase posted:I mean once the passenger section gets separated... Wouldn't this vehicle immediate tear itself apart from the sudden change in aerodynamics and load at flight speeds? I mean, can the joint of the wings and pilot cabin even take the strain of suddenly not lifting a bunch of meat cargo (which, already, is in the middle of a different disaster happening)? The CH-54 this thing looks like has a cruise of 100mph, not 500mph.
