Outta curiosity, how is fusion viable for bomb research? (Ignoring the fact that the world's current nuclear arsenal is already incredibly powerful, and that 100mega ton bombs have been designed and 50Mton bombs have been tested)

Edit: thank you to all for providing additional context, I see your point regarding more research is valuable for both weapons and energy research, though to say definitively that it is used for weapons research is neither here nor there.

I find it interesting how it appeared clear in 2016 US election that Reddit for example was being a target of Russian interference, (alongside other places like Facebook and Britain during Brexit), even with Russia in a weakened state China appears to have seen what was being done as valuable and taken up the task

The playbook always seems to be to stoke wedge issues, including funding groups on both sides of the political isle; funding the NRA and BLM seems to be two of the most common examples. The reality being that the amount of disruption and destabilisation that is achieved, it must be that these governments must see it as good value for their money.

Can I ask what you like about it?

Literally every part of my experience having gone there 2/3 times was shite; soggy chips, overcrowded and obnoxiously loud, the chicken burger literally is no better than my local fast food joint (and a hell of a lot worse than the slightly upmarket fast food places).

Most of that could be forgiven if the prices were reasonable but they're not; I seriously struggle to see any redeeming factors or reason for it's popularity beyond the meme of "cheeky Nando's", yet there's not anything cheeky about it beyond the cheek of what they get away with!

Honestly Nando's is overpriced crap.

Less likely but if you get the chance to try a Pepe's burrito they're pretty good.

Pepe's is basically a fast food version of Nando's, with better ingredients and price for the portion size. As such it's about as far as I'll stray into fast food.

God Nando's pisses me off.

Interestingly parmesan in any quantity over a couple of grams still messes me up, it really depends on the person

If you can get lactose free milk where you live (which in and of itself is a godsend), then you can make lactose free mozzarella from it, just follow online videos for meeting your own mozzarella (it takes like 30 mins and you can freeze it)

That's mostly just Coventry...

I read through the link, both the details on the air forces vehicle plans and the 'encounter' later.

This one is odd but I do still wonder what the feasible explanations of this may be.

The smell of sulphur can be cause by many things, including burning vulcanised rubber or geological activety. The radiation might be explainable, but I have no indication of what the readings were (background and of the area/objects/burns), which makes it more hard to make any suggestions. Though his injuries did immediately make me think radiation exposure...

Lastly, the molten metal recovered from the site.

What is the composition of the metal? And if they say they pried it from a crack in the rock, the shape that it has taken is too perfect... The angle on each bend is near identical, and the length of each straight is once again identical (something screams not pulled from a natural crack in rock to me).

Nothing concrete can be explained by this, but it is intriguing...

Was in a Tesco's about a month back and saw this bugger flying around my mum's partner whilst queueing for the self checkout, with about 4/5 more flying around, I plucked it out of the air and got a photo of it

Couldn't make a positive ID on it, though I'm unsure if its a local one - I've always heard to be wary of stripped legs

A keychain jewellers loupe, inexpensive but invaluable, can be used for inspect something up close, whether it's writing on computer chips to helping with mushroom identification, to identifying makers marks on old silware.

In a similar vein, cheap usb microscopes, though less versatile are incredibly useful for soldering/inspecting PCBs

Sorry for your loss, she looks a very determined individual in the first picture
