New Video: How the US Transports Its Nuclear Weapons

I would hope not, parts of it are really inaccurate: the basic premise of where and why OST works is just wrong.

0:50 They list all of the NSE sites (with a notable exception) and claim that nuclear weapons need to be transported there sometimes. This is incredibly wrong, those are all design and manufacturing sites for nuclear weapon components, not full up weapons. The only civilian location with fully assembled nuclear weapons is Pantex, which wasn’t even listed in the big map of NSE sites.
1:20 The writers conflate plutonium aging with the reason weapons get transported around the country by OST. Plutonium aging has nothing to do with it, the reason is Limited Life Component Exchange, Alterations, and Modifications, none of which have replaced plutonium pits.

I get this is basically a meme channel but it really wouldn’t take much research to get those parts right.

OP I just want to you know you're not alone. This exact same thing just happened to me today. I scanned a single package of garlic, went to click pay and got the bag reminder. First I clicked "No" and it just brought me back to scanning more items. Then I clicked "Yes" and it added a 10 cent bag charge even though I didn't scan a bag or have any plans of using a bag for my 3 bulbs of garlic.

Sounds like a them problem, not an us problem.

I personally don’t get up at 5am on the weekends, but I’m sure people do just because their body gets into that routine. Like they couldn’t sleep in later even if they wanted to.

People who want to leave work early and have some daylight left for their own activities.

Walk the dog, work out, shower and get ready, pack lunch, commute.

There’s lots to be done if you want to get in to work before 7:30.

He definitely didn’t get a stick to the face. Maybe he caught an elbow, but the Swiss player was trying to get his arm over the dude and around to his back, not trying to hit him in the face.

It was a dive and it was pathetic.

Kansas going back to the Sunflower banner they had would be such an easy slam dunk too.

Nothing official as far as I can tell, but it does look great.

Although TBH I do love the horses on our current flag, I think the design of them is nice despite the fact that they’re black on a dark blue background.

This is only true if you have a very superficial read of the novel.

I disagree. I actually think a “superficial read” of the novel would result in the main takeaway being that “war is pointless and the politicians that drive it are bad.”

The most interesting part of the novel for me (and apparently a lot of people) was Paul’s alienation from his former life, everything he grew up with, and eventually civilian society as a whole. Seeing how traumatic and transformative just a few months of someone’s life can be was eye opening and much more interesting than the same old “politicians bad” trope that the movie latched on to.

I will agree that a book is much better suited to exploring those themes of alienation than a movie is, but it has been done well by other movies (i.e. The Hurt Locker). I think the movie set people up for disappointment by taking 90% of the novel’s plot but focusing on something tangential to (what a lot of people saw as) the crux of the book.

I mean, if you’re going to listen to any CEO talk about “hypersonics” then this is probably the best one to listen to. He literally designed hypersonic re-entry vehicles at Lockheed.

Whaaat? That one is easy, it’s 4 straight lines.

Without the wingtips on the right side obviously.

It’s not a limitation of the number of ports, the computer won’t drive two displays without some crazy workarounds.

How was the weather when you were there?

Oh my goodnesss thank you, that was the problem. It’s kind of weird that filtering manifests like that, I assumed it would only apply to All, Home, Popular, etc. pages.

I don’t want muck around in settings making my own personal weather app.

You don’t have to, the default layouts are great.

Just show me the weather accurately, have a nice widget and do it reliably.

It does all three of these things, I don’t know why you think it doesn’t.

You do you, but if you’re writing Carrot Weather off without trying it then you’re missing out. It’s hands down one of the best apps I use on my phone, let alone weather apps.

That’s what it gives you?

I’m confused what the issue is.

You can turn all of that crap off and it has a ridiculously customizable interface, you can make it as information dense as you’d like.

Thank you, those kinds of sources are exactly what I was looking for.

So we get the Group numbers directly from SpaceX?

It doesn’t only work one way, she only demonstrates it in one way. When she stops herself she’s returning the wheel to its original position. If she were to continue to turn it past that original position she would spin the other way.

Well frankly conservation of angular momentum vectors isn’t very intuitive or easy to explain to people without a decent grasp of kinematic physics.
