That's not a good solution.

Yea, it does lack finesse. Kinda hard to care, though.

Hopefully you just wrote some nonsense Caz, maybe you can explain it away as sleepiness or fever...  Speaking from experience >.>
I've only drunk posted on Facebook a couple of times and it was "GOSH RAINS ARE PRETTY" basically, but I do have a bad habit of drunk-messaging steam friends.  Less so now, thankfully.

Though a couple years ago I got fully drunk at a company function, ugh...  Everyone else was drinking a lot too, but still, I was...  embarrassing.  The next year I didn't drink at all (until I got home, heh) and kinda had a better time.

I was doing the perma-tipsy thing for a few months after Christmas, and it was pretty neat, but it started taking more and more to get the same effect, and it wasn't stopping the long-term sads anymore.  Alcohol can be a useful temporary fix, but emphasis on temporary ):

This one didn't want to be who they was. On the Surface – it was a dull, unconsidered sadness. But everything changed. Which implied everything could change.

I'd also suggest the useful part isn't particularly true. Alcohol affects folk differently, so... might just make sads worse. No bueno. It's also something - as you pointed out - of which you can become tolerant. Also nothing stopping you from making things worse in a drunken state... and other things I can't be bothered thinking of right now.

Someone has painted rocks red by a highway's side. From what I hear, nobody knows who or what did it or why.

I love these little mysteries. On the countryside path I walk, the sheep are painted different colours. Pink for valentines, but I've seen red, blue, green etc. Why do they paint the sheep? Nobody knows.

It is so they can tell them apart.

Oddly enough... Still no. Since it states that it is used to "power EMPs" :P

We do know, it's to catch sheep thieves.

Basically a more humane and fabulous version of branding.

You wouldn't be branding sheep anyway, seeing as how you will generally 'ave 'em for wool.

Idunno if there's an active thread that would be more relevant, but this is a WTF and I wouldn't want to derail an existing thread with something that might be obvious.

Why do people like Captain America!? He is such a self-righteous fratboy tool.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but from what you're saying it sounds like they did this because of the ENORMOUS backlash they got from the comics version of Civil War. The one where Tony Stark basically goes full Hitler, complete with death camp.

An explosively pumped flux compression generator (EPFCG) is a device used to generate a high-power electromagnetic pulse by compressing magnetic flux using high explosive.

Literally the first line. Doesn't leave much room for doubt. Even if you point at:

Quote
Explosively pumped flux compression generators are popular as power sources for electronic warfare devices known as transient electromagnetic devices that generate an electromagnetic pulse without the costs and side effects of a nuclear weapon.

as saying, "oh, it just powers an EMP!", it still means you're wrong to say an non-nuclear EMP bomb is either impossible or improbable.

Maybe, but at least I have the satisfaction that people still imagine it as a "Magic EMP bomb". So my original intent of "EMPs don't work that way... at least right now" still holds up.

---

Especially this silly example I have in front of me where 30% of all military satellites in the world were blown up... Thus it created a world wide magic EMP field that shut down all electronics but VERY Selectively.

Also HOLY COW!!! a Major Motion picture is actually showing an African Tribe.

I thought everyone just agreed that showing African Culture in any capacity is racist because it means we will actually have to see African culture? AKA the "So politically correct we are anything but" affect O_o
