The tsar bomb wasn't a remotely feasible device for application as anything other than research, pride, or an evil overlord's massive self destruct system.

If anyone has a workable tertiary stage thermonuclear weapon, I haven't heard of it. Not much call for it, either. Nuclear arms race is over.

What was any more unfeasible abou the tsar bomb than any other bomber-dropped nuclear weapon of the time?

It took some special modifications that greatly reduced the flight range, IIRC.

Yeah, to fit the bomb they needed to both remove fueltanks, obviously decreasing range, as well as remove the bomb bay doors (diminishing range even further because of drag)

Making the parachute also put a dent in the USSR's textiles industry for a little while.

Heh. I wonder if Sean Penn will be arrested for aiding an escaped prisoner / FBI's most wanted. I'd advice him to not go to Mexico ever again, the police there want to speak with him. Leaving the US might be wise too. Maybe he can go and keep Assagne company in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

an extradiction deal between Mexico and the US, trading el Chapo for Sean Penn could make for a nice Hollywood drama movie

I wouldn't throw him in jail for just talking to the guy and then writing an absurdly long article about it.

I read it earlier, it was far, far longer than it needed to be.

The tl;dr would be El Chapo wants people to know that Sinaloa is good and only uses force in self defense, drug business is only way to make a living where he grew up, and as long as there is demand there will be supply. Penn spent most of the article writing about everything that happened like it was a really short novel, and also pretentiously moralizing about the war on drugs in one very puzzling paragraph where he appeared to say that legalization would solve all our problems.

I miss Europe thread. BTW did you note how polite and calm discussions ended when the first serious EU-wide issue appeared?

I said it before, As an islamaphobe (I hope everyone here knows that I believe that Islam should be banned in any civilized country?) and nationalist I should be in a " burn those Arabs with Fire" camp but I am not. I am in "EU should learn to stop ignoring problems with pseudo-tolerance doctrine" camp and sadly European public is failing to do that with some remaining in a world of fairytales and other going straight from the world of fairytales to blatant xenophobia.

PS. New Year events in Germany are very suspicious for me. They look like a well planned provocation.

With the recent destruction of the Calm And Progressive Discussion Thread, I'd like to take this moment to remind everyone that while the DPRK Thread's topic is wide and encourages frivolity, to not actually get the best thread to have ever on Bay 12 locked.

Considering Progresive Thread was lost to this exact topic, handle with care, or preferably not at all.

[MarcAFK]

The calm thread? I thought that was lost months ago, maybe it was just temp locked ...,

Didn't this topic kill the actual European thread too?

[penguinofhonor]

I think it killed multiple European threads.

I'm pretty sure that it did.

Since I don't want to be a party pooper, and it looks like multiple people share a concern about the topic being unfavourable for this glorious thread, I've moved the posts to http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=155469.0

[wobbly]

So is the calm & progressive thread dead-dead? Did you lock it penguin or was that Toady?

[penguinofhonor]

It was not me.
