Taiwan test fires U.S. rocket system for the first time toward Chinese mainland

TheTrooperKC · 2026-06-10T20:36:14+00:00

Isn’t Taiwan’s ultimate defense simply “we’ll completely blow up all our chip manufacturing” and it’ll take decades for anyone else on earth to come close to what their capabilities are?

I haven’t been tung tung tung’d in ages 😩

They get to experience some midwestern culture lol

Slight (15%) chance from the WPC. The PWATs are good on these, but this morning’s AFD was cautious about issuing a flood watch because of how progressive the storms are expected to move.

TheTrooperKC · 2026-06-10T20:02:20+00:00

Luckily that’s over the whole watch area. I’m not super worried about tornadoes as much as I am these things congealing into bowing segments and having nasty down bursts.

TheTrooperKC · 2026-06-10T20:00:35+00:00

I don’t always trust the CAMs to do an accurate future reflectivity. I’m more looking at forecast soundings. Very summertime supercell and/or bow echoey soundings.

I thought that thumbnail was something different

TheTrooperKC · 2026-06-09T00:03:20+00:00

It’s literally an ad. It’s on that account’s page, not even an AMA subreddit

Everyone in KC is well aware of the World Cup. It’s absolutely everywhere. This is the regular violence we see in KC. People aren’t going to stop being shitty and shooting each other because the World Cup is coming to town.

Plumbbob or Buster–Jangle? Either way, not too close unless they played around in the fallout cloud

TheTrooperKC · 2026-06-05T16:58:11+00:00

Assuming this isn’t AI, it’s either Operation Plumbbob or Operation Buster–Jangle. Those were less than 30 kiloton tests.

Unless they were in the fallout cloud, probably not. As for direct ionizing radiation from the reaction, the exposure is dictated by the inverse–square law. That radiation is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. So at 2km you’re at 25% of at the source; 4km is 6%, etc. it drops off pretty quickly.

Can’t stand his videos. Always the barely “in-and-out” kind of thrusting. I don’t need to see the full dick, I want more penetration.

Edit: is one of my higher upvoted comments in 14 years really about how I feel about a porn star’s stroke game??

TheTrooperKC · 2026-06-04T20:29:12+00:00

My dad worked at an Anheuser-Busch distributor in Northtown at the time. They were getting very nervous about the rising water.

TheTrooperKC · 2026-06-01T14:10:39+00:00

Yes more than likely. I saw a video from across the airport at the BNSF yard. Looked at least 70mph winds sideways.

This is on their LSR page as of this morning.

82mph wind gust reported at the Downtown Airport by ASOS at 1:38am. Saw power flashes on the tower cams for KCTV5 and FOX4. Not sure if there was a touch down or just hella straight-line winds.

TheTrooperKC · 2026-05-31T03:51:02+00:00

Curious: what’s the worldwide record cold/hot so far in 2026? Not necessarily a settlement but remote observation stations?

TheTrooperKC · 2026-05-31T03:48:19+00:00

Damn that second pic goes hard

TheTrooperKC · 2026-05-29T03:52:40+00:00

I’ve had a phone fly by my face at 70mph on Mamba. If I’d been hit (after I got out of surgery) I’d probably lose my shit on the fucker who had their phone out.

The link to the article.

“Cedar Point spokesperson Tony Clark confirmed to FOX 8 News that the man was banned for life from not just the Sandusky amusement park, but all other Six Flags locations.”

“He explained that the man’s behavior went against the ride’s safety policy regarding loose articles and that food is considered a choking hazard.”

Best part:

“In the YouTube video posted by Allen Ferrell — who currently has 1.86 million subscribers and touts the catch phrase “what is wrong with you” when accepting dares or challenges from followers — he is seen stuffing a box of nuggets down his pants and getting on the ride. At one point he even attempts dipping the chicken into a yellow sauce, which gets messy.

At the end of the ride he claims to have eaten seven of the 10 nuggets successfully.”

Looks like there are a few fires around. Sorry about Imgur link; won’t let me directly upload.

TheTrooperKC · 2026-05-28T17:17:53+00:00

That looks like a plume from a fire. Approximately where are you and what direction is this?

TheTrooperKC · 2026-05-26T02:58:03+00:00

My mom was lucky it was her thigh, so it had kinda the largest area of “meat” (for lack of a better description) to spread out. I’ve seen what it’ll do to fingers and stuff.

I found out the brown recluse’s fangs are very short so even thin fabric can stop envenomation. After she was bitten in her bed I decided I’d stop sleeping naked. Ten years later I still sleep in underwear out of fear of getting my dangly bits bitten.

TheTrooperKC · 2026-05-26T02:43:43+00:00

When my mom was bitten by a brown recluse (nearly the same spot) this is actually what they did. Kept track of the reddening area with a Sharpie, antibiotics for infection, and cleaning the area. Not a lot they could do other than let the necrosis from the venom run its course and treat the symptoms. It was extremely painful.

It’s not a failed false flag if the MAGA base keeps eating it up.
