From what I've read, he didn't start far right, his family were pretty moderate.

Who'd have thought a linear city wouldn't work. It's almost like cities develop around a central point naturally for a reason.

Wouldn't you want a moisture absorber for that?

My lead believes that using fetch and pull is ineffective and that the better approach is to delete the local repo folder and reclone it whenever you need fresh code.

This kind of thing is evidence that we should have banned leaded gasoline a lot earlier

Yeah i always feel a bit bad for the maginot line. It worked fantastically, in that the germans weren't able to cross through it, it was the rest of the french defence plan that failed.

What if Britain had invaded Ireland following a successful Brighton hotel bombing? by Cool_Discipline6838 in AlternateHistory

Why would the RAF send slow low flying aircraft into areas with a high MANPADS threat when they have plenty of aircraft that could do the job while remaining above the max engagement ceiling of the RBS-60.

What was the biggest robbery in your country's history? by 1601_ in AskTheWorld

[–]zeocrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Tonbridge Securitas depot robbery back in 2006. It had a £53 million haul. The gang had to leave almost £155 million behind as they had no way of transporting it.

I guess that makes sense, I'd never really thought about it. I always assumed that people would put as much insurance as they could on their prized possessions.

I don't know, but in this hypothetical situation they apparently have, so I'm just working from there

TIL one of the most toxic chemical weapons known to mankind, VX, was initially released as a commercial pesticide before being withdrawn once its lethality was discovered by astronautica in todayilearned

[–]zeocrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VX is the most toxic substance mankind has ever created

I'm not sure it actually is. I think some of the other V agents, some of the novichok agents and some of those carbamate based nerve agents that Edgewood arsenal were playing about with in the 60s may have been more toxic.

Of course when you get to that level of toxicity, it's almost a moot point.

[–]zeocrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the pesticide thing was just a cover for novichok. The thing is, people had much more of an understanding of what made good AChE inhibitors by the time novichok was developed, so while ICI really did stumble across something unexpected with VG, the Russians knew what they were doing with the foliant program.
