I just got banned from that OTHER imageboard for posting this:
—–
This is something I picked up. This is apparently one of the most famous videos of a nuclear bomb test. Apparently this nuke was an UNDERWATER one (that's important), apparently below the surface of the water, underneath a barge. This footage is so famous that it's actually played multiple times in the 'Dr Strangelove' final nuclear apocalypse scene.
Watch this video first:
https://youtu.be/MWBMImBA6jEIn this video above, it looks like it's footage of something that has been publicly aired on TV or in some sort of video. Notice that there's a jump in the first few seconds of the explosion. This is important. Whoever published\aired this video has deliberately cut the very first second or so, the initiation of the explosion from the footage. In this way the footage looks much more convincing as some sort of super scary 'super weapon'.
However other footage of the same detonation exists elsewhere. Here's another video:
https://youtu.be/YUd7tgIirBINow if you watch this video, you can clearly see that the initiation of the explosion starts ABOVE WATER, on the barge itself, as if the barge has been packed with explosives. But they claim that what we're watching here is a nuke detonating UNDERWATER. You clearly see a bright flash of explosion, so bright that there's a reflective flash on the clouds above. You don't see any 'flash' below water, just an explosion that seems to be directed upwards from the barge, as if they were trying to draw water into the air with the explosion.
No matter how many times I watch this, I can't unsee that the explosion takes place either entirely or almost entirely ABOVE WATER.
If a nuclear bomb detonated below water, in theory the initial reaction should be so intense and hot that it should literally BOIL water. Yet all we see is this above surface explosion.
This explains why the initial flash\explosion is missing from the Dr Strangelove Sequence and the first video link I've posted.
No.296299
>>296297Water is translucent. The light generated by a nuclear blast is what generates the initial heat. This light passes through the water and is absorbed gradually over such a long distance as to not enable any real hotspot, so the water doesn't boil. It acts as welding goggles per se. This is why the bright flash is observed in the sky, as it is relatively unhindered by the short distance of clear water above the bomb. While not enough to boil water at sea level, the light that does escape the water and scatter in the atmosphere is enough to vaporize moisture at certain levels, which can happen as low as a tepid 20c.
The explosion looked like it begun on the surface because the water above the bomb is lower pressure than the water below and around it, and this pressure decreases towards the surface. So directly up is the path of least resistance, meaning the blast can be observed blasting directly upwards before the lower levels of water surrounding the bomb begin to move significantly. Small explosives such as hand grenades and torpedoes produce the same effect of a vertical jet of water shooting directly upwards before a larger shockwave forms a tangible wake. The initial fireball on the surface is a result of the air being so rapidly condensed by the sudden upburst of super-pressure water that the surrounding atmosphere's oxygen ignites.
Nukes are very real and very much always hidden within 15km of any major city central. Sleeping, waiting to be poked awake. Let's hope no bombtender trips and dooms us all!

I don't believe in the power of ultimate rationality and ideas that are worth the same every time they are mentioned or discussed, regardless of person. The person in question generates the idea he is talking about, he isn't some medium that transfers to us some higher wisdom suddenly. I as someone who rejects idealism in every form, posit that you can't separate the man and his ideas. Of course I agree that sometimes man change attitude and behaviors but that's extremely rare. Most of the time people never change, they just want you to think they did. So I will always be skeptical of some guy who tries to preach on things and mistakes he himself can't quit. First fix yourself and harmonize your behavior with your ideas, then give advice to me.

>>296488>They only tried to virtue signal to the community while braggingThey don't virtue signal. They're still bragging and even admit about being hypocritical. However, acknowledging the negative is still acknowledging the negative.

And yes views do change (especially political). Not completely and too late but still not a reason to concentrate solely on the messenger rather than the topic.
>First fix yourself and harmonize your behavior.That's whataboutism. Plus that's not how people use it. Even if the person has changed, they still use "you have no right to say anything because you did X". The nuance of was/stopped vs was/didn't stop is lost on the general population. In serious discourse, using such tactics as the primary counterargument in was/didn't stop only further normalize using it in was/stopped situations in serious discourse. Normalization of manipulations helps to the wider usage of manipulations. Such ad hominem whataboutism, pointing fingers to avoid reasonable blame or even out of honest thinking also promotes using other manipulations by analogy.

You guys know any good sources/books on allergies and sinus health? T. chronic low level allergies sufferer
No.297832
>>297830I had chronic allergies from ages 8 - 21 because of secondhand smoke and cats. Constant runny nose, dry puffy eyes, etc. The only real solution is to distance yourself from allergens but unfortunately that's quite impossible.
There are some treatments though. Trimming nose hair for one is a great way to immediately breath better. Having some sort of HEPA system like wiz above suggested is always good in our modern society. Adding simple weather sealing strips to your bedroom door frame can keep bad air out from the rest of the house. You can gargle alcohol to flush allergens from the back of the sinuses. Lighting then extinguishing a candle periodically will release carbon in to the air which absorbs and neutralizes many allergens (don't let it pass through any air filters). Steaming your nose and eyes regularly helps, even if you're just breathing in the steam from your coffee. Applying chapstick / beeswax under your nose and eyes helps with skin irritation and the menthol / mint kind will agitate the eyes to lightly tear up for a clean-on-blink. And make a note to clean the mucus out of your nose either in the morning or before bed, real deep.
As far as drugs go, I'd recommend against purpose-built allergy solutions which inhibit immunoresponse. They're expensive, questionably effective, and like any inhibitor the body becomes dependent on them, so when you stop taking them the allergies just feel worse. There are some OTC athletic supplements like caffiene, taurine, ephedra, and probably a bunch of teas. Anything that improves vascular flow to the skin, sinuses, and throat will reduce irritability.

Also, obviously, box fans help keep you cool in the Summer, and you can bring in heat from the interior corridors of an apartment complex in the Winter.
Box fans aren't praised enough.

I've been noticing recently that–at least in my area–Walmart is getting cheaper than even dollar stores and thrift stores like Goodwill or Salvation Army. And both of those options are routinely cheaper than most online options including Craigslist or ebay. Anyone else noticing the same?
No.297976
>>297974Just to give you a peek behind the scenes to explain this.
There are two main reasons for this. Walmart is big and spread out enough that they can hold out and eat the cost of inflation a lot longer than most of their competition. The second reason is Walmart has a extremely strong bargaining position with producers and uses its own distribution Network to cut out middle men, meaning they can practically demand much lower prices. Especially since no retailer can really match them in order volume, so even if a contract with Walmart has a lower per unit price it's still massively profitable since they will order millions of units in bulk. Really their main rival these days is just amazon. Especially since Walmart's online shit is still frankly subpar. But as far as physical stores they basically won the game, lol.

Had a somewhat victory with my drinking. Usually I buy a bottle of vodka and drink it until there's a decent amount left, and when I wake up I finish it off and then proceed to buy more which goes into a full on binge that goes on for days. But before I went to sleep I poured the remaining alcohol away. I feel like an idiot for being proud, but it's small steps I suppose.

After many years I learned there are many negatives that people never mention or even wonder about at being a master of something. There are some facets of mastery that average and below average people will never understand to the point of treating you as just another average/below average person. Basically it's only worth being really bad at something or maybe being average. If you're bad at something like say hardstuck Iron in LoL you can get pity points posting about it. As a master your only choice is to ignore it. Someone that levels slow in WoW will have a group of friends to cheer them on to continue playing. Again as a master you can't really interact with those below you so again, only choice is silence.
The only people I can relate to are the top athletes because we have similar mindsets.
No.298025
>>298004Mastery brings with it two categories that are a hell of a lot better than pity or getting cheerlead.
Being a innovator and major contributor to something you are passionate about. And teaching people your way and leaving a legacy.
As someone who will never have children, teaching youths something that I care about and see them grow as people as a result is amazingly fulfilling.
Especially when you see your own passion for something sparked and mirrored in someone else's.
There is a reason masters take on apprentices. There is also a reason they tend to be odd.

Once, around new year's eve some dude from high school told me that in order to have a lucky year one should make the first thing they say after the new year be "white rabbit". Now clearly this is bullshit superstition but from time to time on new year's I would think about it and try to make the first words I said, "white rabbit", but somehow I always ended up forgetting and fucking up. This year was the first year that I actually pulled it off and as stupid as it sounds I feel like this is going to be a good year for me. January was already a good month.

>>298144Mostly because I convinced my parents to loan me the money to buy a new electric car (or more accurately they bought it for me and I am paying them back over time). Congress passed some bill giving the car a tax credit, and it was supposed to only qualify for $3750 tax credit but the Treasury department ended up delaying the implementation of part of the bill because they needed more time to make the rules so for a brief 2 month window the car became eligible for the full tax credit. This of course skyrocketed demand and I had to get very lucky to find a car that became available because the person who ordered it backed out of the deal. I got lucky by beating the other people who were trying to buy it at the same time I was to the punch on putting in my deposit. I got lucky because the dealer who sold it was so incompetent that he didn't know the car had just had a MSRP increase 2 weeks before I bought it so he sold it to me at the previous price. He also didn't charge a markup which other dealers in my area were charging up to many thousands of dollars. Without the tax credit I never could have convinced my parents to buy it for me. There have been a number of other positive things happening to me that I won't go into, some of which are the product of my own efforts but many of which involved large amounts of luck. This must be some sort of cognitive bias I am experiencing to frame it in such terms though after being primed to think in this way due to the rabbit thing.

More than military spending, more than tax credits (aka people keep more of their rightfully earned money), more than education.

People struggle to finance $3000 for semi-reliable cars to get to and from work, what the fuck are they going to do when second hand cars become scarce and worth $8,000 for the same car? You couldn't even get finance for it because the risk of engine trouble makes the investment risk debilitating rather than annoying.
Those second hand cars with their closed off batteries could have a higher cost of repairs too, what's a new radiator or alternator on a ICE car could be an entire $12,000+ battery replacement for an electric car.

Does anyone know if there is a simple antenna relay that connects to wi-fi and transmits the analog antenna signal through the network? Basically I want to replace a coax cable with two devices. One that connects to the antenna and repeats the signal through wifi network. Another that hooks up to the TV and picks up that signal on wifi and send it to the TV. I want it to be dead simple. No bullshit DVR or TV tuner. Simple antenna relay over wi-fi with no bullshit data collecting signup required.

>>298194There is no reason to think cars will become scarce in 15 years, let alone 100 years.
EVs don't have that many parts so they should last quite a while, but the batteries will degrade over time, requiring a replacement in like a decade. However, batteries are just a storage of electricity and the only valuable thing about EV batteries today is the proprietary tech that checks for "genuine" replacement parts. This will likely be overridden or legislated away once EVs become more popular.

>>298203The average new car price has reached an all time high of nearly 49k. It seems stupid honestly because you can get a nice car with a lot of features for significantly less than that. Car buying is when people act the most irrationally imo. The will put down 3k for a sunroof that they will never use like it's nothing or pay 5k for 50 more HP. What you are actually getting for the price is just absurd. You could buy a lot of other things with that money that is far more valuable. I guess it all comes down to the car as a status symbol. That is what people are really paying for.

>>298217While the amount of technology you get in a car is absolutely mind blowing for the price (just try to design one yourself, let alone manufacture it), it's important to remember that inflation is rampant and $49k for a car today is not anything like what it used to be.
I thought I was unlucky that my old car (we're talking almost 20 years old) gave out a year or two earlier than expected due to me postponing some essential maintenance, but in the end I wound up buying a $6k car near the bottom of the covid market that's had a few relatively minor issues but really was a steal by today's standards. I can't imagine anybody blowing $50k on a car unless it's out of necessity or just living too large to worry about it.
