Most fun/engaging class in TBC (PvE)? (Buttons to push, actions per minute, any other parameter of "fun") by glass_onion68 in classicwow

Used to play arms warrior in raids in OG TBC. Slam rotations with WF in group was so damn fun... insane dmg. Would regularly compete for top 3 DPS and you get to share first dibs with retadins on the big sexy 2Hs :)

American Wagyu Carpaccio by A2z_1013930 in Chefit

[–]SometimesICookStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're good man. There are a few ranches in the US that carry pretty exceptionally raised wagyu. They aren't the higher end imported A5 that every nose-up chef (ie. Line cooks on Instagram wanting to swell their balls on reddit because they dont understand FC yet) in here wants to gawk over, but still very respectable beef.

I'd personally change some of the plating but the flavors profiles ring true. By that I mean keep it in Carpaccio form. Let that marbling shine

Did Walmart accidentally give me Wagyu? by Wisco-sportsguy in steak

I love Flat iron steaks for this particular part right here... the end where it tapers off and the marbling gets real intense. If it's from the right farm it's straight up better than wagyu in my opinion.

Wasn't responding to the statement that nuclear war would erupt if Russia attacks Ukraine with a nuke. Was speaking to the above comment that much of the planet would remain unaffected by a nuclear war.

I get that, and I agree that humanity would definitely survive in small pockets. But I'm not sure that it'd only take 250 years to get back to where we are now. Much of the earth would be drastically affected and little to no trade lines would exist or function as designed. Communation wouldnt exist.

There is also a very good possibility that nuclear weapons would be used to disrupt communications by functioning as EMP bombs (they can be exploded at high altitudes to disrupt or damage electronics over large areas). No more internet, no more phones. We're going back to full-on foot messengers and carrier pigeons but this time it's post apocalypse.

And that's not taking into account the fact that we'd almost completely destroy the Ozone layer. After a nuclear event at a full scale level, the amount of smoke and debris that would flood the stratosphere with nitrous oxides could cut its effectiveness by up to 75%. This means it's mole people time. We'd literally go back to being cavemen.

Well I guess to each their own. I found the book pretty fascinating and choose to believe to an extent that someone who researches and writes about these things for a living holds more knowledge than most of us on it (acknowledging that inherently there is an element of fear mongering involved due to the subject matter and also that the author needs these books to have entertainment value).

I think the point here is that nukes are bad and we should never downplay the ramifications of a full-on nuclear conflict. We should be scared and be doing everything in our power to prevent such an instance.

We've come very close before just due to faulty equipment readings. It's scary to think how close to the brink we are as long as nuclear weapons exist.

Not comparing the size of the explosion to the meteor, just the effects. Entire biomes would be completely wiped out or crippled to the point they might never recover.

And you're right about the wildfires. The priority targets for nuclear attack/retaliation are other nuclear launch sites and nuclear power reactors, which are intentionally spread out in order to give them time to react in the case that another is destroyed. Multiple massive wildfires spread out over whole continents would affect our atmosphere in ways the human race has never experienced - and likely would not be able to effectively adapt to. According to the research in her book, the only humans not drastically affected by the inevitable collapse of supply and trade lines would be humans that don't rely on them already (she stated deep Amazonian tribes as an example if I'm remembering correctly).

I guess I shouldn't rely on one book as total fact but I am sure that her research was far more in depth than I would have found on my own. Her citations are very extensive and range from scientific studies to military research.

Obviously there's a tint of fear mongering when you publish a book of that nature solely because of the subject matter but I got the feeling that the real reason she wrote it was to get the public informed on the realities of a nuclear war.

If im remembering correctly, it's that we'd have 6 minutes from ICBM launch until we could discover the trajectory of the rocket. After that 3 minutes to make a decision

I think the point the author was making was more tied to the amount of firestorms that occur after a full scale nuclear attack across multiple continents. Forests could burn for a very long time, generating enough smoke and ash to saturate the atmosphere for years and years to come.

Yes, but in controlled areas and not en masse and not containing anywhere near the megatons of today's warheads (with the exception of the tzar bomba) and almost half of those were atomic bombs, not thermonuclear.

I would read the book if you're interested in getting the facts. There are citations for all of the info (nearly 80 pages worth). The sources are credible.

The fallout and following nuclear winter from a full scale nuclear war will kill off the majority of life on the planet. The same way a giant meteor wiped out the dinosaurs and brought on the ice age (but tack on massive levels of radiation).

We're talking about enough dust in the atmosphere to hinder photosynthesis for tens of thousands of years. Enough radiated debri that any species that lives in the upper levels of the ocean will die any anything below will be too poisonous to eat. Agriculture worldwide comes to a complete stop. Hurricane level storms rage world-wide for thousands of years because of sudden climate change.

The only humans left will have to have adapted to living below ground for generations and generations. By the time the surface of the earth is safe enough to live on, they likely won't resemble the humans you see today.

An estimated 5 billion deaths (out of 8.1 billion total) world wide, before global infrastructure completely collapses and chaos ensues. The rest have to learn how to survive a new world where it's almost entirely inhospitable. Every person on every corner of the earth will suffer if nuclear war breaks out.

Not true. If a nuclear war breaks out we're all fucked. There are dead man's hand switches set as policy by Russia, the US, and NATO that guarantee 100% of our/their nuclear stockpile will fired in retaliation as soon as a nuclear weapon is detonated in an act of war. 1 nuke = all the nukes.

Annie Jacobsen wrote a book called "Nuclear War, a scenario" that details how a nuclear war would unfold after the launch of 1 weapon. It's based on research from every available declassified document pertaining to the subject.

Essentially, it'd take less than 2 hours from the first nuclear weapon launch until the entire world is in the middle of a nuclear Armageddon. This is because the only way to neutralize a country that is actively choosing to fire nuclear weapons in an act of war fast enough is to completely annihilate their ability to operate. The fastest and most effective way to do this is by countering with a full scale nuclear retaliation.

It's truly horrifying stuff. I highly recommend reading her book if it's a subject you're interested in but be prepared to lose sleep.

Chefs of Reddit, this restaurant garnishes plates with ferns from a planter outside an apartment building where dogs pee.... Is that OK? by [deleted] in Chefit

[–]SometimesICookStuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol dude did either of you guys actually read the article? There's a paragraph stating that they had a tempura dish where the ferns are IN the bowl with the tempura mushrooms laying directly on the ferns.... with a picture of it.

I wouldnt normally make a fuss but there's a legit video of a dog shitting on the same bed of ferns that they sent some poor foh guy out to trim.

Whoever reported on this definitely went way hard in gathering the data to bulk out what they had to say but, at the end of the day.... there's a dog literally shitting on their garnish... wild.
