  • I take apart bombs, missiles and other explosive ordnance for a living, and sometimes we have to wrap certain components or fuzes in aluminum foil to lower the effects of RF on them for transport. The general rule I follow is if you could put it underwater and water would get in, then radio frequencies won’t be deadened. So if she wants to be protected then she would have to create a watertight seal around her head and do us all a favor.






  • Everything after season 4 of game of thrones was trash, it just got progressively worse each season as D&D had no accountability material to work with.

    I know it’s fashionable to shit on D&D for their lack of writing skills, but they weren’t hired to write, they were hired to adapt and they were decently good at it. George told them he’d have his material completed by the time they’d have to adapt it and he did not, yet I see very little of the blame attributed to the guy who just kind of gave up on finishing his story.


  • Really? Trump mentioning that most nato members do not meet the required defense spending undermines nato.

    As a member of a NATO military that doesn’t meet the targets for spending, I agree this doesn’t undermine NATO, it’s just the truth that we need to start pulling more weight monetarily.

    BUT that’s not the point and you missed key details about what he said that absolutely DOES undermine NATO, such as:

    “I said: ‘You didn’t pay? You’re delinquent?’… ‘No I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them to do whatever they want. You gotta pay.’”

    So you’re showing that you either didn’t read the article, didn’t understand the article or are being willfully ignorant of the article.


  • That’s nice of you to say. What do you suggest he does about it? I’m so sick of these spineless, yellow-bellied Internet commenters saying that something should be done about it and suggesting precisely fuck all. OFFER A SOLUTION, ALREADY, YOU COWARDS!

    Edit: Mocking tone aside, I’m serious, what can Jens realistically do? Kick the USA out of NATO? That’s Trump’s goal anyways. The issues with Trump are an internal American issue that can’t be fixed by Norwegian politicians unfortunately.






  • They could very likely come up with something very functional, making IEDs, and even cooking your own explosive fillers is exceptionally easy, you really only need a very basic understanding of chemistry and circuitry (like grade 9 or 10 level). If extremists hiding in caves in Afghanistan could make consistent and effective devices with HME, then Joe Redneck with Internet access and over the counter access to Ammonium Nitrate Aluminum (Tannerite, which is legal in most states and often sold at gun stores) can probably do it too.
