Only living in open oceans with depths of at least 4,265 feet, goblin sharks are rarely observed or recorded while alive. Scientists believe the animal only comes to the water's surface at night and spends most of their life living in nearly-complete darkness. Goblin sharks are not fished commercially and are mostly captured by people fishing other species. The only living member of the genus family Mitsukurina, the goblin shark's lineage dates back 125 million years. Nicknamed the "living fossil," goblin sharks are believed to be on average three to four meters in length, though a female goblin shark measuring six meters long was caught in the year 2000. A fifteen-foot hurricane storm surge buries a beach town in water. Puffin enjoys a swim. Someone's getting lucky tonight. Hippo wants to meet his admirers like I met Nigel Farage at the Trump Hotel. Cat dressed up in costume. Happy mama dog cuddles her puppy. Dog goes shopping in the pet aisle. The sassiest bulldog. Dog fetches a duck for his mistress. Dog hangs out with strangers in a hot tub. A belated Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Dogs reach an agreement after a tense negotiation. An oarfish, a rarely-seen creature that usually lives a mile under the ocean, comes to the shore for some reason.

It wasn't very big, maybe four or five feet long but it was ugly and had all sorts of snaggly teeth. I cut the leader and let it go after I snapped a picture with one of those disposable cameras. People kept telling me it was a clown shark and I had no idea what that was until we got back to the states and I looked it up. I think I still have the picture around the house someplace.

The military says Oketz has deployed a team whose dogs have undergone special training to locate trapped people at impact sites. The team is made up of both male and female troops. Additionally, the IDF says the LOTAR counter-terrorism school has dispatched climbing, rappelling, and rescue instructors to missile impact sites to assist with rescue efforts. The LOTAR team has used drones to scan damaged buildings to provide an accurate picture for Home Front Command search and rescue forces, the army adds. Home Front Command troops have been operating at several impact sites in recent days, rescuing civilians and recovering bodies from under rubble. https://tinyurl.com/yabpukra Two short videos; two photos Posted by: andycanuck at June 16, 2025 08:00 PM (2yoRf) 113 You mean, the klanfish or the maxinefish.

Crazy guy jumps out in front of my 4Runner with a crazy look on his face and begins pounding on my hood. I wasn't going to wait there to get shot or whatever so I disregarded the red light, pulled a hard right, and attempted to get around him. But he held on to the 4Runner and begin approaching the riverside window. Then he wasn't there anymore. Mrs. Wrecks got our and said I had stopped with my tire directly on his leg. I backed off his leg and called 911. As the ambulance approached, he got up and attempted to flee, none to quickly or gracefully. I could clearly see my tire tread on his lower leg. The police came and got him into the ambulance.

It is the only penguin found in the Old World. Like all penguins, it is flightless, with a streamlined body and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat.

And the people they executed by running them through plastic recycling machines donated by greenies who were concerned about "the Earf". And the people executed by running over them with tanks. And the Kurds who he gassed with the chemical weapons he got to use on the Iranians. And the other Kurds he could catch. And political opponents and assorted minorities that wouldn't shut up and insisted on some sort of political autonomy. Outside of them, yes it was a shining example of wonderfulness in the sandy hole that used to be the Baathist middle east.

A day of scraping, and washing, and painting parts, including a small-block Chevy. We were discussing those earlier. This one is a '69 307, and it needed a new harmonic balancer. Did you know the balancers were just pressed on, with no bolt, until late '69? I did not feel like just hammering the damned thing on with a 2X4 and a BFH, so I drilled and tapped the crank, and used a harmonic balancer install tool to pull it on. Cast crank, so it drlled and tapped like buttah.

Numerous cars were set ablaze, fireworks were thrown and businesses were vandalized as at least three unsanctioned car shows took over the California city.

On the small scale, imagine what would happen if you tried to drill a hole in the dirt by repeating shooting bullets at the same spot. The first few hits, you're going to make a little crater, and blow out some material, but soon, it all starts falling back in, and all you're doing is just churning loose dirt.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 16, 2025 08:49 PM (e7kz6) 318 These bunker busters do two things. One they accelerate to high speed, ~ Mach 1 or so at impact, and use kinetic energy to penetrate the material. Once they reach that depth, a high explosive is detonated. That's sort of a hybrid approach. Pure kinetic energy, then explosive energy. In the limit of more and more energy to get deeper and deeper, there is no real difference between pure kinetic energy and the hybrid. Within the limits of what is practicable about that, ~100m under solid rock is pretty good protection. In the limit of maniacally throwing, say some hypersonic "Rod from God" at the target repeatedly, you make a big crater, wide but shallow, and all the energy of later strikes just goes to heat. Eventually, you make a little puddle of molten lava in the bottom of the crater. And it still doesn't get that deep, just radiating heat away fast at the molten rock temperatures.

A "mere" 100m diamter chunk of rock moving at 50 km/s would do it. That would make a crater down to about 200 m in solid rock. It would also have an impact energy of ~380 MT of TNT (~ 8 Tsar Bombas), and wipe out a 100 km radius around the target. It wouldn't be and ELE dinosaur killer, but it would be a Heap Big Nuking.

Think that city had the world's highest per capita income of any major city in 1960. And note: every cent of that wealth came from things produced (not from a foreign company sticking a pipe in the ground and getting oil out, the proceeds from which the government on the site took a huge %). Lots of wheels turning in Detroit's decline, of course, but the 1960 data point is striking and relevant.

A little trick there. With precise timing, you try to make the second (or third) penetrator hit before the ejecta from the previous blast can settle back down. That will get more depth for the second and third hits, but after a second or so, the first ejecta cloud starts coming back in. You only buy a little more depth with that. For shallow targets, this can work well, but for deep ones, it doesn't get you there.

Then (not to get to racial about it, but reality is reality) tens of thousands of African-Americans flooded in to th ecity to get work in the shipyards and rail yards in WWII, to take the places of the men who had all been drafted and shipped overseas. Everything was fine 1942-5, with 100 employment--but then after the war, the soliders returned, the military-related port jobs dried up, snd suddenly you had tens of thousands of unemployed African-Americans all crammed into one area. They did not return to the home states (mostly Texas and Louisiana), but stayed in East and West Oakland. Slums quickly developed, crime rose, and then the '60s happened with radicalization and the Black Panthers. Rioters and looters destroyed the ghettos multiple times, and it's been downhill ever since then. Posted by: zombie at June 16, 2025 08:58 PM (pMi6S) 353 K35R party.

The "entombment" option for Fordow would at least temporarily solve the problem, with management change or not. Could be more than temporary too. Without any tending or management, what I'm guessing is in Fordow starts to become a problem on its own after a while. It's not like storing bullets in the garage on the bottom shelf of my tool chest, which I do. Anyway there's a certain elegance to destroying the access. It may lead, over time, to a very bad radiation situation in the work spaces - but they'll be sealed off as well as any planned nuke waste site that exists. And very very difficult to re-enter and make use of anything. Could put a bow on it and move on. Posted by: rhomboid at June 16, 2025 09:04 PM (1m82a) 369 straits of Hormuz will remain open.

Man-size tunnels that run maybe a mile or so, and don't quite breach the surface at the remote end. The last two yards of rock are drilled and loaded with a stable explosive. In the event of need, the escaping workers would proceed up the tunnel, take shelter in a side tunnel, and light off the charges. With luck, they break through to surface and make good their escape.

Our "allies" have been key to enabling/worsening the worst MidEast enemies (Iran and Iraq) at key moments. Iraqi sanctions, in tatters for years, were near collapse in 2003. Among the bonus prizes for others when they did collapse was a French deal for the Majnoon super-giant field, with a % double or triple the historic norm for foreign development/production. An enormous windfall. The free-rider problem has been among our biggest for decades. The Mansfield Amendment was a thing, and a fight on the Hill, that is older than most of the population. It hasn't been easily solved because there is no easy solution. Side note: pushing NATO members to increase their defense spending is a move that is decades past relevance, and actually ridiculous given the realities of their political will and now even their political cultures.

Man-size tunnels that run maybe a mile or so, and don't quite breach the surface at the remote end. The last two yards of rock are drilled and loaded with a stable explosive. In the event of need, the escaping workers would proceed up the tunnel, take shelter in a side tunnel, and light off the charges. With luck, they break through to surface and make good their escape.

Russia has been an economic competitor of Britain, and Britain has funded and fomented a lot of wars and internal political strife against Russia in the Balkans, in Crimea, in the Dardenelles with Turkey, and in and across the Northwest of India and Afghanistan. A lot of more anglophile American movers and shakers have also had a hard on for Russia starting from the late 1800's, with the attitude that they were a closed economic society that would not allow political or economic change, and worse would not allow American or British goods to compete freely with Russian goods.

Here’s the kicker: Boelter showed up dressed as a COP, complete with a creepy silicon mask, body armor, and a black SUV with flashing lights to trick his victims. Security footage shows him banging on doors, yelling, “This is police! Open up!” before opening fire. Chilling, right? He even had a hit list of other public officials in his car, along with an arsenal of AK-47s and a 9mm handgun. This wasn’t random—this was a PLANNED assault on our system! Now, he’s facing federal charges for murder, stalking, and firearms crimes, with the DEATH PENALTY on the table.

Because the DoD was not willing to fast track a USAF SAR helicopter that had mid-air refueling, the US Navy's CH-53Es were selected. This forced the planners to select Desert One which the CIA recommended. Ignoring the fact that Desert One was next to a highway. Even if things had not literally blown up at Desert One, the CH-53Es would have ferried Delta to Desert Two which was closer to Tehran. Then they were supposed to steal taxis and buses to raid the US embassy compound, then while in a fire fight search the compound for the hostages. Use the busses and taxies to exfiltrate to a stadium where the CH-53Es would whisk them away. Great plan. We were lucky only eight died. Posted by: Anna Puma at June 16, 2025 09:52 PM You go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish to have. In 1979, the army we had was just beginning to move forward in a positive direction after the Vietnam 'experience.' The 1975 Mayaguez 'Incident' Charlie Foxtrot may have been worse. Eagle Claw taught a lot of hard, costly lessons, to DoD, not just the US Army. RIP Eagle Claw KIA and those who have since passed.

I think they are rooting for us, but.......They hate us and ruined out industrial base while we defended them. They paid nothing. Look at Youngstown, Detroit...Now look at Beppu and Kobe. They have buried us and we paid for the whole thing. It's still going on. They pay nothing for our defense of the Gulf. We are idiots.

The 6750 gallons was just the FedEx delivering it. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at June 16, 2025 09:40 PM (/lPRQ) The energy released by nuclear fission is orders of magnitude greater than the energy expended in mining and refining the nuke fuel. Tungsten has to be mined and refined, too. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 16, 2025 10:00 PM (0INzb) 543 Do you refrigerate your ketchup? Posted by: Anna Puma Talk about personal questions! OPSEC, people. Posted by: NaCly Dog at June 16, 2025 10:02 PM (u82oZ) 544 Eagle Claw taught a lot of hard, costly lessons, to DoD Rule 1 - do not make it a multi service affair unless forced to. Rule 2 - KISS Rule 3 - be bold. You had USAF Spec Ops, you had Delta, Navy CH-53Es, Marine pilots for the CH-53Es, late addition of some Rangers, and CIA and Iranian agents. Except for the Marines and Delta, no one trained together. And Delta did not trust the Marines.
