Where do you get these rocks though? There is actually a similar concept that uses tungsten rods instead of rocks.
But the entire thing isn’t really practical. If you want the ability to strike any place on earth in a reasonable time, you’d to have hundreds of tungsten rod equipped satellites (or rocks with rocket engines attached to them) in orbit at the same time.
I’m not sure it would actually be cheaper than just using nukes on ballistic missiles.
That would be a really shitty nuke. Like around 10% of a Davy Crockett.
Priorities … not in order.
No, there should be a profile setting to set the default, just like with posts.
Wean yourself off the caffeine addiction.
My cat once slipped his head through a handle of a paper bag like that while sleeping on it. Then he jumped off the couch and absolute chaos ensued. He drag the bag behind him and it inflated like a parachute and making a lot of noise which totally freaked him out.
He eventually managed to rip off the handle (glad it was a paper bag) while dragging it under some furniture, but he was quite traumatized after that. Didn’t come out of his favorite hiding spot for half a day.
I don’t really care why, just glade it’s the case.
But most of it will have a speed limit.
Well, yeah. School is supposed to teach you how to do things properly. But people tend to forget a lot of that after leaving school and just do what they want.
While km/h is the official SI symbol, kph isn’t just “made up”. It’s a quite widely used unofficial abbreviation.
What? People are making fun of tankies in a community dedicated to making fun of tankies?
That’s an outrage!
It’s new South Park and new IASIP day!
Bombers are the least relevant delivery mechanism for nuclear weapons these days. Russia has plenty ICBMs and SLBMs.
The TP should be the backup from the start, with the primary system being the bidet.
Bitch, you can say bitch on the internet.
Ha same here.
The first notable occurrence was when I was around 9 and and we were hiking in the woods. My brother and me we both in shorts and t-shirts and running around together. When we got home my mum found a tick on him and after some more searching she removed 14 ticks from my brother. So she called me in immediately after that, but even after stripping me down naked and thoroughly searching I had 0 ticks.
And that kind of scenario has repeated over and over. Had a BBQ with some friends under a tree. Multiple people reported having ticks the next day. Not me.
Still haven’t had one … ever.
People delinquent on child support are not allowed to hunt cause you could theoretically subsist on hunting and not have a job that produces money.
So … can you farm?
Building nukes isn’t that expensive. The most expensive part is probably building the enrichment facilities, but that’s a one-time investment. Once you have all the material, a nuke isn’t that complicated to build. A bunch of students basically designed one that was deemed to be functional.
On the other hand, launching hundreds, possibly thousands of multi-ton projectiles into orbit is extremely expensive. And of course you have to maintain them in space somehow, possibly for decades. Either that or you have to de-orbit and replace them, which would mean regularly bombarding the ocean or some desert …
It’s just not practical. Even if it was I highly doubt it would be cheaper.
