    Manto's Medicine and the AIDS Problem

    This is about AIDS in South Africa. And venerating Manto. Still here? Anyone? Did not think so. We'll start off with Manto. The fact that I think she was a bit of an idiota is probably a good place to start. However... Manto! Tshabalalalalalalala...

    The Great Recession That Wasn't

    In 2008, there was The End. It is now a year down the road and I have it on good authority that the following is true: 1. Most people are not living in bunkers feeding on tinned food to weather out some tangible financial storm. 2. The world as we know it is, on the surface, pretty much...

    Electricity is one of the (few:D) areas of which my knowledge is somewhat lacking. So please, bear with me on this one. Is it possible to use a small dynamo, maybe even one of hand-driven size, to charge a battery cell? How many watt would you be able to produce, what kind of battery...

    Thermobaric weapons and the Geneva Protocol

    From what I've researched of thermobaric weapons, the process of the bomb is to deploy a massive cloud of gas or liquid fuel over a very large area, and then ignite the fuel, creating an the largest explosion of any non-nuclear bomb. One unique feature of thermobaric bombs is that they use...
