We lived one year in Olympia WA then we were chase out by hate. And only thing the police said was to move after we found four 9 mm hollow point bullets by our door and two in our mail box. So we did and move from the West coast to the East coast and up in Canada we drove north on I 5 to White Rock BC Canada the right to Kingston ON Canada over 3,000 miles in 84 hours. I lived in Canda for three years got my landed immgrant status in Canada and went to grad school in Canada where I reciced my Ph.D. in Quantum Phsics. It was getting to cold living in Canada the winter were we lived it got down to -49 C  or (-56.2 F)  So we moved down to Puerto Vallarta Jalicso Mexico the LGBTQ 34 C  (93.4 F) with 76% humidity the heat index is 50 C or 122 F   the hottest it get is . on July 12, 2019 and got trap down here by COVID So the Mexican govt gave us our Permanent Resident VISA.

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Jane.  Glad you found us.  Glad you found some places that are accepting, even if they aren't always pleasant, weather-wise.  I hope you find this place pleasant, too.  I haven't met any physicists (that I know of), and am curious what you are working on (if you're not retired, or what you were working on if you are).  I'm endlessly curious and always happy to converse with folks smarter than me (of which there are billions).

I did to go back to school and learn as much as I could. My paper was on using bottom quarks as a fuel source in quantum fusion reactor.  But found out it can be use also in nuclear bombs also. When a bottom quark is fuse in to another atom the power out put is 10 to the 8 power of the old way.  Case in point the bomb USA drop on Japan was 15 KiloTons blast yeild ( that is 15,000 Tons of TNT going off) If they use a bottom quark as a trigger with the same 31 kg of matter but did fusion than fission that blast yeild could be as high or higher than 20,000 Teratons ( that is 20,000,000,000,000,000 Tons of TNT going off) The biggest the USA has ever tested was 25 Megatons and Russia 57 Megatons  ( those are 25,000,000 and 57,000,000 Tons of TNT going off) So when I turn in my paper Show it to the dean and he agree with me he gave me my grade then both of us burn that paper and I retired and never going back to work. But if you use two bottom quarks as triggers one on each side it would make a quantum black hole where it imploded

Hi Jane,

 

Welcome to Transpulse. I'm glad you're here.

 

I have to say, it's bad enough that we can drop tiny suns on each other in the world, but tiny black holes too?🤣

 

Lots of love and a big welcome hug,

Timber Wolf 🐾

Maybe just don't do this.

Welcome to TPF, Jane Paula!! You'll find lots of wonderful folks here. Jump in where you feel comfortable!!

 

I worked with many types of tactical nukes during my years in the Army - probably still glow in the dark. Sun rounds.

[Ivy]

I was involved a bit myself, but on a much lower level.

[Davie]

My dad was sent into Nagasaki, three weeks after the bomb. But they say the half-life is very quick, so he probably wasn't affected too much. Maybe that's my problem. Baked DNA?

That is one of the things I didn't guard. I guarded a lot of different things but never them. I got orders to a base that has them and was able to get out with Obama's volunteer separation. 

[Ivy]

I was in the special weapons section of our 8 inch battery.

My understanding is that they don't use that type anymore.

No, they've eliminated all tactical warheads in the US. I worked 8", 155MM and LANCE nuke warheads. Shooting the old 8" 424 spotter rounds was a chore. Those were the days of the Fulda Gap die in place strategies.

Eliminating tactical warheads is a start.  I'd love to see all nuclear weapons gone from the world, and I wonder if the US took a lead on that if we could get the rest of the world to follow and get rid of weapons of mass destruction for good.  With what's going on right now, our Civil Defense sirens get tested monthly, and local schools and other organizations have regular missile drills along with other training.🙄

Sad that you were driven out.  I would have thought Washington would be a fairly accepting place?  I was amused by the cultural difference, though.  If we found 6 bullets at random, my partners would have the kids combing the area looking for any others, hoping to find a full box on the chance we were visited by an off-season Easter Bunny.  I've even seen ammo given as a housewarming present. 😄 Hopefully your new location is more accepting and peaceful.

They did away with the M110A2 8 inc SP because the rest of NATO didnt have 203 mm rounds  and they stay with the 155mm and 105 mm. The Russian have a 2B1 OKa is a 420 mm SP 16 inch heavy Arty from the 1950s. The barrel is 40 feet long the range is 45 km rate of fire is one rounf per hour. The barrel was so long the barrel will break when moving because it would hit the ground as it was traveling They only made two of them because of that reason.                                                    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/2B1_oka.jpg

When I work in G-2 Ops I had a 1st Lt ask me to help her to do a report on how many of each weapon a Combain Army in the Warsaw Pact would have as in going from the smallest unit all the way up to Army level. And all the attach units to it. We did that over the weekend and on Monday we had the 18th ABN Corps Commander tell us good job and I got a Army Commendation Medal and the coin from him also

My impression is that the 8 in was originally a naval gun.

The Navy only gun they have is a 5 inch deck gun a lot of missles for anit ship and anit aircraft. Russia has 8 130mm auto guns that can fire 72 round per min each 

[Ivy]

The 8 in guns we used were relics of the 50's.  I'm not surprised they are no longer in use.

Well this is a new one for me my hair dresser quit because his husband said he was cheating on him with me. I am a lipstick gold star lesbian I never cheat and do not like people who do

It's weird, right.  My ex used to accuse me of cheating on her with women and men.  I never did it.  I've only "been with" 2 men and 2 women in my life to this day, and three of them were before her.  People get an idea in their head and that's that.

It would be funny if it didn't hurt.

I've been married three times, been with three other women, talked to twenty-five. It has just gotten to the point where I'm happy being single and maybe getting some friends. I haven't had a real friend IRL since 2015. I'm thinking about going to a club and hoping that the music will take my mind off of the crowd.
