Any actual answers? This whole thread embodies one of the main things I hate about reddit. Everyone thinks they’re a comedian when none of the “jokes” are even remotely funny.
Answer the god damn question and quit trying to farm upvotes by making shitty “jokes” ffs.
I’m a huge space nerd and I straight up avoid comments on any article about Uranus because the comments are all from idiots that think they’re funny recycling the same old trash that’s been around for decades at this point.
Stop trying to be funny for internet clout and answer the fucking question, it’s not that hard.
Such a good show, and a good example of people that are actually funny 😅
A gallon paint can full of thermite can be lit with a sparkler
Harbor freight sells battery powered hammer drills and masonry bits that are cheap and powerful enough to drill a few inches into concrete in under a minute.
They also had saws and saw blades used for cutting up masonry.
With enough thermite anything is possible
I know this is completely off topic, but one of the better Things I Won’t Work With entries about chlorine triflouride:
It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.
You can find all of the blogs here and I highly recommend them.
Hell yeah love that blog. I should see if Triethylaluminium is in there…I briefly had an internship working with it and handling pyrophorics in a vacuum glove box was a certain sort of thrill to be sure.
Thank you for linking that blog. I <3 that whole series, and coincidentally noticed my bookmark no longer worked over the weekend.
I’ve got something long and hard for stars.
It’s a telescope.
Its free with your own sledge or jackhammer
A few hits with a pickaxe would be a good test
It’s weakest at the edges of the block, not the star.
strong acids can damage or destroy the Hollywood Walk of Fame stars.
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.
Depends on the amount of destructive power at hand. Plasma torch makes it easy but nuke definitely makes it easier.
I don’t know of any plasma torches that can come along in a backpack but you can get a lot of good work done fast with a battery powered angle grinder. Occasionally I take mine out in my neighborhood when some asshole has padlocked their sandwich-board ad to a lamppost.
Not sure I’d go with a plasma torch, what with the air compressor, and it would be all fiddly to get a good ground, assuming the stars are metal even.
That said, oxy acetylene would work well….
Any ground celebrating fascists is not good ground anyway
These comments do not disappoint
