It's the killdeer! We get returning birds across the road every year. Silly little running cotton balls with rock colored eggs in gravel nests, and they just had babies.

So it's a type of thermobaric weapon. It's composed of magnesium hydride, which holds hydrogen more effectively than pressurized gas tanks, and it releases that hydrogen when detonated by a primer charge. It then ignites all that released hydrogen mixed with air to make a very impressive fireball.

A better name than "non-nuclear hydrogen bomb" exists, but would probably be longer and more specific. Hydride thermobaric bomb maybe.

If you like and want to buy a Tesla for reasons other than supporting Musk or his companies, I'd hear the argument. But there are better choices in vehicles for every reason I can think of, and expensive luxury electric vehicles can be had without it being a Tesla.

I'm with you in spirit if not numbers. My experience with hexbear users led me to blocking the whole instance, and I regularly block people I don't even converse with based on how they treat other users or other topics. If someone has such a bad take on topic A, I don't care about their possible opinions on topic B and C in the future.

I get the argument of echo chamber isolation, but most of the things I'm willing to block people over are also things that I won't be changing my mind about because of a forum post.

Who even cares if rumors are founded? We're just asking questions.

This article is just, "making a TV show is expensive and a lot of it goes to the place you made the show" ?

Why is it being framed as some huge charity case/economy boost? It's a TV show and they filmed it in one of the most expensive places available.

I suppose it could have all been sets and greenscreen and it would have been cheaper, and it was an intentional choice to spend more money in the city, but I didn't the why mentioned in the article at all.

Well shoot. I know for sure we have hard water.
