A Bridge Between the USA and Russia

newtboy says...

What?!?
That was quite something, starting by ignoring the impossibility of tunneling below the incredibly seismically active Bering straight and culminating with the theory that Russia and China are going to collaborate to build a $100 billion railway tunnel from essentially empty East Siberia to empty West Alaska and beyond with or without the USA's involvement.
I'm flabbergasted serious governments would admit they considered this plan.
What?!

This is why women love him

Hypersonic Missile Nonproliferation

newtboy says...

The fact that the current state of the technology is not public knowledge, and the fact that it's development is a secret military program, likely without a publicly available budget in all 3 countries, makes me think it's secret. Just tests on models require a supersonic or hypersonic wind tunnel....you don't pick those up at home depot.
Nobody has seen one fly, so if it was even in the early testing phase, no one noticed. Since we're watching, I'm dubious it's past models and simulations anywhere.
I don't doubt they, like us, are working on it. I have doubts any nation has made exponentially more progress than we have, and I wouldn't trust China or Russia if they claimed to have them without seeing them demonstrated successfully, just as they shouldn't trust us if we make more unsubstantiated claims, we're proven liars.

Why do you think it was secret?
Why do you think nobody noticed?
Do you think they just began on it since sanctions?

Every major power has had back-burner development of this stuff since the cold war.
The only "secret" was how much progress they made. That it existed, you can freely take for granted.

Just how you can take for granted that everyone is working on genetic weapons, everyone is working on directed energy weapons, everyone is working on infrastructure hacking weapons, everyone is working on automated robotic weapons, etc.

Do you think there is a better / more-cost-efficient place for Russia to spend defense dollars, than on a system which can trade the price of a missile for the price of an aircraft carrier?
I would be more surprised if they hadn't put their money into a program such as this.

Look at what progress China has made :
Which country is fielding a rail gun today? China.
Which country is fielding a man portable laser rifle? China
Which country has demonstrated quantum entanglement encrypted communication? China.

The world is moving on, while we stand around confidently patting ourselves on the back.

TED: What is dust made of? - Michael Marder

BSR says...

"The good and bad news about ants and plants. ... Their tunnels aerate the soil and allow water and nutrients to flow directly to the plant roots. They also distribute seeds by storing them in their tunnels. The bad news is that ants can protect honeydew-producing, sucking insects that do a great deal of damage."

What's going on inside the Hidroituango dam tunnels?

Jinx says...

tl;dr - a standing wave in a blocked-off tunnel causes pressure fluctuations at the anti-nodes, changing the dew point and causing the rapid condensation of water in the air.

Seems plausible to this lay-person.

can't guarentee I don't occasionally navel-gaze tho. Take it or leave it.

Scary Tunnel water park slide at Cascaneia

I don't get it.

What's scary about that?

I thought the tunnel'd be completely dark... or someone dressed as a zombie would reach out screaming at you or something.

Primitive Technology: Pottery and Stove

I love all of his videos, and I crave more so much that I watch lots of the related videos of others who do a much lesser quality job (imho).

But I just saw one yesterday that made me sick. The girl in the video advertises that she'll show you how to have a smoke-free teepee by digging a tunnel, but really it's just a long, annoying commercial for the shovel she's using.

And what makes it so vile is the video is titled "Smoke Free Teepee," but she doesn't at all make it smoke-free.

Exploring the deepest pool in the world on a single breath

CaptainObvious says...

Y-40 "The Deep Joy" pool first opened on 5 June 2014 and was designed by architect Emanuele Boaretto. It is 40 metres (131 ft) deep, making it the deepest pool in the world. It contains 4,300 cubic metres (1,136,000 US gal) of thermal water kept at a temperature of 32–34 °C (90–93 °F).[4] The pool features underwater caves and a suspended, transparent, underwater tunnel for guests to walk through.
