Good luck to all candidates in the election! Me and Thomas always love seeing democracy in action, and we encourage everyone who is able to go out and vote. The future of the region lies in your hands. Or maybe 'in your keyboard', since we're doing all this over the Internet.

Question that just popped up in my head:

How do you type without hands ?

I'm not sure if you already answered that or not.

I don't do any typing; it would never work with my wheels. I tell my Driver and Fireman what to type, and then they type it and post it here.

Usually they'll show me before they post anything, but if they can't show me first for some reason, then I just trust them to post the right thing: I've worked with my current Driver and Fireman for years now, and we have a pretty strong connection and bond. Once in a while they'll make a typo or two, but otherwise, they're wonderful people!

True; they both decided to leave out the stuff about engines running the island, but other than that, both the books and TV series are pretty accurate, and both Awdry and Allcroft are well-liked and respected on Sodor. They've both visited the island a few times, in fact.

A thermobaric bomb is a Fuel-Air explosive that is much more energetic than it's typical counterparts.

It tends to have an extreme pressure wave that will destroy organic cavities such as the intestines and lungs, as well as rupturing veins alongside other nasty effects.

Of course, some also spray their fuel into the surrounding air, causing those in the area to either get a nice coating of toxic fuel before being immolated.

If they survive that, they have a significant chance of the negative pressure inside of the post-blast area ripping their lungs out through their mouth.

Real damn friendly of us, ain't it?

First, there is no real way to create a humane and universally discriminatory weapon, however, Chemical Weapons are impossible to control beyond their initial deployment due to the undeniable fact that their effectiveness and targets are wholly determined by [B]wind[/B].

In WW2, Hitler had enough sense not to use them because of how he knew his troops would get slaughtered, same with the Allies, though they were also worried about publicity.

It simply doesn't make sense to deploy weapons which indiscriminately kill without the slightest control beyond praying for prevailing winds.

Besides, I've yet to see a weapon that did? The closest is a literal Nerve Agent that would choke you to death by keeping your lungs from inflating, or Blood Agents that cause for your very blood to be unable to metabolically process and allow your survival.

If the Victim ain't meant to be dead before he knows it, then you've fuvked up in designing your "Humane" Chemical Weapon.

Well, you can kill more civilians without Kevlar or Ceramic inserts when using HP Ammunition, that's for sure.

TBF the US military is -regrettably- a good example of having our morals below our belt. We employ Thermobarics then preach at others not to.

But it wouldn't lead to your nation's survival at all.

There is no situation where a chemical weapon is anything more than marginally superior to a less cruel alternative, and in many cases...it's actually worse?

In RL this leads to things like the ME, where a group of people get sick of the chemical attacks, seek god, and find him in killing y'all.

The Israeli's try the same damn "I'll do worse to you!" line on Palestine whenever they shoot some sugar-rockets over the boarder, then they follow through and bomb the sites while knowing how many people it'd kill...despite doing that though, they're still hated -if not hated worse- by the populace who now froths at the mouth for the destruction of Israel.

Any war where you start dropping Chemical weapons on the enemy populace will end with radical members conducting terror strikes in your nation, likely using the very same weapon you used on them for the sake of Irony and to show your civilians what it feels like.

Winning Hearts and Minds is really the only model of warfare that works, in any event.

There is no situation where a chemical weapon is anything more than marginally superior to a less cruel alternative, and in many cases...it's actually worse?

In RL this leads to things like the ME, where a group of people get sick of the chemical attacks, seek god, and find him in killing y'all.

The Israeli's try the same damn "I'll do worse to you!" line on Palestine whenever they shoot some sugar-rockets over the boarder, then they follow through and bomb the sites while knowing how many people it'd kill...despite doing that though, they're still hated -if not hated worse- by the populace who now froths at the mouth for the destruction of Israel.

Any war where you start dropping Chemical weapons on the enemy populace will end with radical members conducting terror strikes in your nation, likely using the very same weapon you used on them for the sake of Irony and to show your civilians what it feels like.

Winning Hearts and Minds is really the only model of warfare that works, in any event.

I don't say this often, but it's a disgusting weapon that should have been barred from use a long, long, time ago.

Yea you make a Good Point but im not a Unstable minded simpleton like Assad or Ben in isreal. I dont make it my Goal , its a Last Resort thing , The President, The 15 Judges of the Supreme Court and a Super Majority in Congress along with the 251 members of the Commanders Committiee All have to agree that the Use of the weapons is in our best interest .

Which, economically speaking, I can probably kill more enemies through the use of shredder bullets with the added bonus of a lower cost than I can nerve gas, and escape the pesky "do-gooders" that want to make humanity's favorite pastime humane.

I like you

Who are the current most dangerous nations on our RP planet?

Friedensreich wrote:I just calculated my GDP.... 10,421,000,000,000. Sounds too small!

Oops, made an error in my math.

I was operating under the yuan, when my PPP factor was in HKD, which made my GDP (PPP) more than a trillion lower than it was supposed to be. Not surprising, because the Hong Kong dollar is minuscule compared to the yuan and USD.

So I reclalculated my GDP (basically adding up the GDPs of Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan), and made sure to convert it from the yuan to the HK$. From there I calculated the GDP (PPP) like the last time, by dividing it by the PPP factor of .139375 (Coca Cola Index- 1 two liter of Coke in Hong Kong is 16HK as opposed to 2.23$ in NYC; divide 2.23 by 16 and get .139375).

From there, the GDP (PPP) is in the HK$, but I want to convert this to my currency. So, I convert it to the USD so I can convert it to the do'kham. This nets me 6.416 trillion USD.

Finally, I convert the USD to my currency (1 d'K= 1.83 USD) by multiplying this 6.416 trillion by 1.83. This gives me a grand total of 11.742727 trillion.

This has also had a direct effect on my GDP per capita, which raised it from ~29,777 d'K to 33,550.65 (rounded up from 33.550.648).

Right here!

You will tolerate our personal and political freedoms, or will be introduced to the Freedom Shredders®!

Fr though, I really don't want to be a military power. I was one of those in TNI and it got boring shuffling an ungodly large air force around. Now I'm hoping to become an economic powerhouse in Asia and build up a trade empire.

That is actually a very good question. We should have a vote.

Which nation(s) are the scariest?

Which nation(s) are the most dangerous?

Which nation(s) are the friendliest?

Which nation(s) are the most peaceful?

Which nation(s) are the most (insert descriptor here)?

I would most likely be one of the scariest considering that I'm literally a PMC that has taken over a country. The good news is that there are no longer homeless people and unemployed people in southern India. But at the same time we have the money to literally straight up buy what we need and the resources to invade most nations but we won't because that just kinda gets rid of our possible employers.

To be honest, I'd have to say no one. If someone used these inhumane weapons on our world, they'd be embargoed left and right and lose all allies, making them powerless and susceptible to be slaughtered by the bombings of one of the many alliances who one day decide they actually care about humanity.

Again when does a PMC ever give a sh!t about the rules of war or even being humane. It's why people don't like them but use them because of plausible deniability and effectiveness.
