Nonsense. In the first place you know almost nothing about me, my capabilities or limitations. Only a boastful idiot claims to know things he can't possibly know, and you appear to be just that.

I noted several clear misstatements of fact and a couple of illogical apparent deductions of yours on just your most recent posts - regarding the F-35 and the effects of stealth technology to maneuverability. I'm simply not either interested or motivated to point them out to you, or to continue a discussion with a person, such as yourself, who falsely considers himself to be omniscient , even in areas in which his experience is very limited and his judgment on related side effects and tradeoffs is, as a result, limited and unreliable.

@oralloy,
Highly indicative of just how little you know, oralloy. Your rep, such as it was, is now totally ruined.

Nanoscale Chemistry Yields Better Explosives - Lawrence Livermore Labs

ONE thousand years ago, black powder was prepared by grinding saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur together into a coarse powder using a mortar and pestle. Since then, the equipment for making energetic materials-explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics-has evolved considerably, but the basic process for making these materials has remained the same. That, however, is changing, thanks to an explosive combination of sol-gel chemistry and modern-day energetic materials research.

At Livermore Laboratory, sol-gel chemistry-the same process used to make aerogels or "frozen smoke" (see S&TR, November/December 1995)—has been the key to creating energetic materials with improved, exceptional, or entirely new properties. This energetic materials breakthrough was engineered by Randy Simpson, director of the Energetic Materials Center; synthetic chemists Tom Tillotson, Alex Gash, and Joe Satcher; and physicist Lawrence Hrubesh.

These new materials have structures that can be controlled on the nanometer (billionth-of-a-meter) scale. Simpson explains, "In general, the smaller the size of the materials being combined, the better the properties of energetic materials. Since these `nanostructures' are formed with particles on the nanometer scale, the performance can be improved over materials with particles the size of grains of sand or of powdered sugar. In addition, these `nanocomposite' materials can be easier and much safer to make than those made with traditional methods."

“Just wait until AOC endorses Warren over Bernie, watch how the same people who championed her will turn on her. Because AOC, Gillum, Abrams, etc only mattered to that segment of the left insofar as they could further Bernie’s 2020 chances.” #personalitycult

Was just talking with family on this. Some will surely behave in this manner but those will be either bad folks working to cause dissent and disaffection or believers who have been encouraged to think in this manner. They'll all be loud. But I'm also sure this will be a small portion of the pro-Bernie crowd.

Your faith in human nature is admirable. But I think the clamorous and ill-willed (by this I mean the numbers whose drive applies only to getting Bernie in the White House and hell take the hindmost) among the Bernie supporters are more than a few.

People are all over Bernie and his followers because he can't be had on the issues. Some shitasses on TV remarked about Bernie after the last debate, things like "looks like he climbed out of a garbage can." Brilliant critiques like that. Anyway, it's policy that makes him popular. If he suddenly waffled on messages, it would be all over for Sanders.

I know just how Bernie feels, Edgar.

Voting me down will not change the reality that no one can point out anything untrue in what I've posted.

Why do you care about this particular demographic so much? Did a Bernite once eat your lunchbox? Did you once love a Bernie supporter but she didn't love you back?

Seriously, this primary election is about Sanders, Warren and Biden. It's not about who's got the best-behaved supporters... There are loud assholes everywhere, even among Biden and Warren supporters. Don't allow yourself to become obsessed by them.

There’s a lot of masking anti-Semitic sentiment behind Bernie bashing, in addition to the fear from those who profit under the current unrestrained capitalism.

I think the DNC and their payees stoke anti-semitism for this reason. After they played that hand at the last convention, selling only one shirt featuring a anti-Jew propaganda version of Bernie’s face, they’ve been more careful.

I’m pretty sure we’ll get some leaked memo from a DNC insider or competing campaign about pushing anti-Jew propaganda.

Thank you for your sage advice. As always, it will be given the consideration it is due.

But the people who are likely to be susceptible to an anti-semitic message aren't likely to be voting for any of the Democratic candidates. The main accusations of Democratic anti-semitism are the ones being hurled at Ilhan Omar and she's not a candidate. And "stoking anti-semitism" would be about the least effective approach if one wanted to attack Sanders because he's a totally secular Jew, a Jew by ethnicity not by belief. Don't you think the negative consequences of "playing with fire" would outweigh any purported loss in support for Sanders? I just find it difficult to believe that the average Democrat, looking at the candidates, is going to shy away from choosing Sanders because — of all things — he's got Jewish heritage. I doubt Warren supporters are behind her because she's the "Gentile Socialist".

And yet, if I were an angry Bernite you would care for what I say very very much... :-)

Agreed, but it may be that they support the "Gentle Socialist".

Good one, Olivier!

You always flee from science, evidence, Snood. A real fake, pretend intellectual who can't even answer the simple question - how did 1300F WTC fires melt [2800F] WTC steel, molten molybdenum [4753F] found, studied and described by the USGS?

It's personal with snood. He doesn't like me because Hillary lost and he will continue to dislike Bernie supporters as a result of 2016. He has no real perspective beyond that.
