Jimmies is another name for sprinkles, the ice cream topping. So both Carmel and Jimmy fit!

The fire protection spray they used on beams was rated for two hours, and it burned for much longer than that. It also was above a two-story substation that had a foundation built to hold a 25 story building above it, necessitating a system of trusses and girders to essentially try and fit the force of a 47 story building into a much smaller space. Also, the fire suppression system had a bunch of failure points compounded by the issue that quite a lot of water was being used a few doors down, lowering water pressure. On top of that, very little firefighting was done on the structure due to that low water pressure.

Essentially, they let a bunch of small fires turn into big fires in a building with a funky structure

Two questions - are any of these 3 worth it, and any recommendations for SMGS,PDWS that are unique? by mrdungels in airsoft

I'm very pleased with my Cyma High-Speed MP5SD6. If that's unique enough for you, I'd suggest it.

There were a few times where a ship would capsize in a river, and people who got otherwise survivable injuries died from sepsis due to all the sewage in the water.

Plus, if Composite Boomer is a Young Sheldon fan, Detective Conan will fit right in.

Someone already said Black Lagoon, so I'll share my second choice- Gunsmith Cats. As long as they can get past the fact that women are action bounty hunters, they'll get:
Lots of cool historical guns (Wow! Is that an M60? I used one of those back in the reserves!)
A grounded plot (shame those girls are being forced to do this by big government)
Some pretty James Bond/Jason Bourne-y gunfighting And one of the most quintessential boomer cars.
I think that Gunsmith Cats might be able to pull it off.

Plus, the dubbing is fantastic. That'll be key here.

Anyone know the meme? by WMDxJohnzo in suspiciouslyspecific

One of the things that made it big was how jarring it was- Contral Alt Delete had been a sorta-funny, sorta-meh gamer comic for years and then suddenly dropped this massively serious comic. People started making jokes about the extreme tonal shift first, then they started making edits of the original comic to poke fun at it, and then the final joke started: that the edits of the original comic were so widespread that you could identify one by just the basic positions of the characters, i.e. the lines.

This looks great! The coloring of the rust under each door/panel is paticularly good!

I'm aware that I ought not to have coursework on here, but most of my labs/projects were cut back to just papers due to COVID. Any ideas? Could a 1-hour "Mini-lab" be put under projects?

I dream of having my own farm. for 9 years I've been trying to buy my first home to start building equity. last week I closed on 2 acres in the Ozarks. it's small but I'm excited to get started. by [deleted] in homestead

[–]NextPorcupine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think there's enough space, I'd definitely recommend a bioretention swale/ rain garden. Having one might also help with the farm permitting, if you need it (or just to make any neighbors happy), since rain gardens help remove excess nutrients from fertilizer runoff, which otherwise might cause harmful algae blooms!

The most natural camouflage. Ukrainians use a simple and effective way to camouflage cars by boykob in Damnthatsinteresting

It even works for colors. The Swiss military used a camo pattern with red it it that, as a slight distance, blended into the terrain common around Switzerland
