shame on an IGA posted:In Great Yarmouth in 1845, 79 people, mostly children, were killed in the collapse of an overloaded suspension bridge as the entire town crowded to watch this: I had to double-check to make sure this wasn't a reference to IT.

The real tragedy about the NSW fires is the PM had to cut his trip to Hawaii short which was unfair to his kids because they were really looking forward to spending the week there!

It becomes a bit easier to understand why everything is so different between each state if you imagine each state as a mini-nation that answers to a bigger nation, but only if the bigger nation is interested in stepping in. That's how you get things like Texans using all of the water that's mostly under Oklahoma. A part of the aquifer is under Texas and Texas says "if you can take it, it's yours". Sorry wheat farms in Oklahoma, these Dallas golf courses won't water themselves!

Backing up into the railroad crossing gate is almost always an option. I'm sure a broken post is preferable to a broken engine.

No, no, no; that's all wrong. It's lower the road, not lower the bridge!

The Guardian shared video of a burn over in action. Thankfully, the firetruck that was caught in it had safety devices for such an emergency. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRDM3ir3l5M

https://twitter.com/ABC7/status/1232561119685832704 There's been another refinery fire. We seem to have them every few months now. I have  no idea what could have happened that caused a spike in industrial accidents.

At least it's mostly hydrogen burning instead of petroleum. Thank God Trump didn't refund the CSB like he wanted.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:Turns out the UK government knew from wargame exercises three years ago we didn't have ventilators or PPE in sufficient numbers for a flu-like pandemic. They knew three months ago one was coming. They didn't do anything, at all, to stock up. Where can I read more about this?

I assumed it was aerogel. Edit: Here's a video of someone firing a flamethrower at aerogel while someone stands on the other side, touching the aerogel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnOoDE9rj6w&t=5s RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Jun 8, 2020 |

One side of the canal gets dredged, the other side doesn't. So even if the Ever Givens bow was completely freed the stern still might be stuck.

It takes a lot to make a truffle farm... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/american-grown-truffle-breakthrough-180977702/ quote:In 2012, while Mycorrhiza Biotech was growing 1,100 inoculated loblolly seedlings in its greenhouse, Burwell Farms prepared two acres of ground to Isikhuemhen’s specifications. Any existing roots in the ground would already be impregnated with their own native mycorrhizal fungi, so they all had to be stripped away, down to eight feet. It took a bulldozer equipped with a massive root rake a year to comb the earth clean. Then the pH of the soil had to be raised from 5.7 to 7.3, a level that truffles love and few other organisms can tolerate. A procession of trucks plastered the ground with 15 tons of lime per acre.
