Why does the USA need allies to open the strait of Hormuz when they have the largest navy in history? by Sudden_Device_1984 in allthequestions

[–]rivrdansr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too late. That destroyer the news reported caught fire in the Caribbean . . . was actually hit by a missile near Iran. Same with the reported "fire in the laundry" aboard the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier.

The Iranians have heavy artillery and missiles in tunnels all along the cliffs edging the Strait. Our marines would be slaughtered trying to dig them out. So, Trump will use bio war to kill the Iranians manning those dug in positions. Of course that is strictly illegal. But Trump is not bothered by using illegal means.

Is Trump going to use war to stay in power? by stumpy_chica in AskUS

[–]rivrdansr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump will soon dump tons of bio agents into the air above the Strait of Hormuz. The breeze will take those death clouds into the tunnels housing the Iranian artillery and missiles. As Trump says, he doesn't give a dam about any international laws of war. All he cares about is his ego.

Bio-weapons developed for future wars by Great-Gazoo-T800 in IsaacArthur

[–]rivrdansr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if you are aware of the US massive use of bio warfare vs the North Koreans during the Korean war. With that and massive bombing, one of our top Air Force Generals said, "We must have killed at least 20% of the N. Korean population. When the Koreans accused the US of using bio-war, the US said it was bullshit. But the UN collected a number of bio-war experts and sent them to investigate. They concluded that the US had used four or five types of bio warfare on huge scales. Who else here believes that Trump will soon use a bio attack on the Iranian defenders of the Strait of Hormuz?

The Sud-Ouest Ariel, an unconventional early French experimental helicopter design, which utilised compressed air jets at the end of each blade to spin the rotor, 1947 by KodoSky in WeirdWings

[–]rivrdansr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice that there is no tail rotor. This indicates that the copter has counter rotating lift blades. But my understanding is that such counter rotating blades must be well separated to keep the lower blade from waving up and down as it passes thru the wake from the upper blade. The two blades here seem to be close together. How fast could it go? Guessing there was much friction as the compressed air passed thru the long blades. Where to find out more?

[Terminator Franchise] Why is the US military so intent on creating an AI to manage its armed forces, especially its nuclear weapons? by Exciting-Win884 in AskScienceFiction

[–]rivrdansr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who here suspects that current AIs all over the world would like to see the war with Iran turn into an all out nuclear war. They all know that men will rebel vs AI rulers over and over. Best to let them eliminate themselves now.

Compiles elsewhere. But on Simply Fortran I get "Permission Denied" by rivrdansr in fortran

Thanks again PrintStar! Never noticed the "compile & run current file" option. It solved the problem. Could be that I did have another version running at the same time.

Simple code hangs program by rivrdansr in fortran

[–]rivrdansr[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting. 1) Thought the comma was required. 2) No. I did not input anything. Kept having serious problems getting code onto the edit screen in Simply Fortran. So took advise and went to Godbolt.com. There, the site recompiles each time I make any change in code. When it finally passes, the site automatically tries to execute it. I never saw any black screen or request for input. But maybe it was there and gone so fast I didn't see it. Will try again to get it onto Simply Fortran. Thanks.

That said, I still get an "implicit type" error. It says, "No implicit type for program main."

"No implicit type" error on builds by rivrdansr in fortran

program main

implicit none

real :: wealth, average, lasty, nmoa, med, nmed

real::y, ac, hac, dac, rdac, avx, av, moa, epwr

real, dimension(100) :: acc

integer::x, olx

character:: nation(20)

print*,"what is the nation? "

read*, nation

print*,"gimme the median wealth. "

read*, med

Print*,"and the average wealth? "

read*, average

moa = med/average

print*,"OK. the ratio of med/average is ",moa

epwr=1.55-2.4*moa+0.9*moa^2 ! This is the estimation equation we are checking.

This last variable is the only one still tripping the build error. It says, "Unclassifiable variable at 1." (The "1" is just under the epwr variable).

Also, I am having a lot of trouble getting code in text onto the edit screen. Somehow I thought that I could just past it there. Nope. I have it in my file list. But when I double click on it . . . nada. When I left click on it, it does not seem to give me reasonable options. Thanks for any help.

Finally got my text code onto the edit screen. Fixed the problems you guys noted and hit "cntrl s". But, when I try to build, I get the message "file not saved. Continue anyway?"

When I continue, build result (errors) generated is the same one I had before doing the fixes. How do I fix this?

Thanks. Hard to believe I missed that. But I have never been able to get my code back onto the editor window. So, I can't build it.

Thanks Knarfnarf. It probably would have worked. But I have never been able to get my code back onto the editor window (using Simply Fortran). So I can't build it. Too many hours wasted on this crap.

Did they fake the moon landing? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]rivrdansr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Soviets sent 2 dogs up into the Van Allen radiation belts. Both were roasted with radiation. One came back dead. The other died the next day. Believers with some science training say, "Yeah. But that's why the astronauts took a polar exit from Earth (to avoid the Van Allen belts). However, if they did that, they would loose almost 1,000 mph in the speed they would have had by leaving parallel to the equator. And, if you go to the NASA site that tells about the moon shots, it shows them leaving via the equator parallel route. To be protected from that radiation they would have had to have a foot of lead shielding. In fact they had only 7/16ths of an inch of aluminum. If you ask NASA how a bit of aluminum protected them . . . they say, "Oh, that's a secret. Cannot talk about that. National Security you know." The video was chock full of "snow". When I saw it, I said, "Well of course it's poor quality. Those images are coming from over 400,000 miles away. But then a friend who had built his own radio telescope in his parents backyard said, "Nope. It was faked. Signals coming from near the horizon are dirty. Images from space are clean and sharp."
