It's going to be so funny the first time they punch the hail core and get their lovely vehicles all dented...

Has anyone seen Livingroom? He was here a second ago, going on and on about something to do with a Delorean and a doctor. I'm worried about that kid.

Oooh. The company I work for is linked right on their page.

WTF is a mortar rocket?

NewportBarGuy: WTF is a mortar rocket?

Me thinks you mean a M257 launcher:

NewportBarGuy: WTF is a mortar rocket?

It's like a mortar, only when it lands, it rockets back up in the sky again instead of exploding. You use it to totally mess with your enemy.

I've often wondered if you could disrupt a tornado with a well-placed explosion....

abb3w: I've often wondered if you could disrupt a tornado with a well-placed explosion....


I kinda doubt it. I mean, they're generally miles and miles tall and formed by wind processess over many square miles in area. Lotta energy in those things; unless you were talking low-level nuclear devices, I can't imagine them even making a tornado flinch.

I think that's where you stick the fishing poles.

Did you see that show on Discovery where one storm chaser team had a frigging home-made tank and a second truck with a huge doppler radar dish on it? That was hard core.

Livingroom: aha! i finally get to be the Boobies3r! Boobies! Boobies!

i love being a totalfarker now. i can pay a fee to be an asshole! HURRAY!

/Sorry, pet snake.

somehow, the filter is greater than my word-fu. some day, i will figure out how to Weeners in a thread, like seibooB! or something.

/stupid re-scaling

isn't "mortar rocket" a contradition in terms? Like saying bullet rocket?

Livingroom: somehow, the filter is greater than my word-fu. some day, i will figure out how to Weeners in a thread, like seibooB! or something.

I've done it in several threads (without being bumped to the next day) simply by saying "Boobies" ect when thread-relevant. eg: link about the FBI: "Federal Boobies Inspector?"
ie: not being a douchebag.

PS:Did I use eg/ie properly? Probably not.

8pt white font on a black background? I about puked after reading the second line. So, DRTFA.

after like, a thousand years of lurking, i decided to buy TF, because it enhances my e-penis size, and makes me cool. i can be an internet tough guy now! i get to say things like "damn lousy liters!" and then once the novelty wears off, i'll be cool and not condescending at all, and i wont start flamewars either.

No mention of this?

I came in to ask about the term "mortar rocket," but I see that was covered.

Yeah, it made me hallucinate Link (new window)

BoronCarbon, that home made tank (what they call it is escaping me) is currently stationed in boulder colorado... I saw it on my way to get emissions done... looks damn cool close up!

Merltech: No mention of this?

Okay, here's some pics of that I shot a few years back:







The guy who drives it is pretty cool, but I think most storm chasers give him even odds of living another ten years, seeing as his goal is to drive into a weak tornado and film it with an IMAX camera. Well, used to be, anyway. He had to agree not to in order to drive around with the Wurman radar team (probably for insurance reasons), but golly gee, wouldn't it just be a CRAZY accident if he mistakenly drove into one and had the camera rolling when he did it. ;)

I think he's currently building another claptrap, now that he knows taught himself a bit more about welding and learned a few things about the claptrap's weaknesses in the field.

Well, at least the DOW (Doppler on Wheels) and the TIV have some real science behind it. These guys are just doing it for the thrill. Not that there's anything wrong with that... but hopefully they have some people that actually know the science behind it.

From looking at their prospectus, they have 1 person with a degree in meteorology... hopefully their years of experience gain some insight to the way that these storms operate so they can actually improve quality of life or scientific understanding.

i get my tf for free from others just for being such an obnoxious guy.

how do you like getting owned by the filters on your initial post?

heck, i've yet to pay for TF, but at least i've read the farq

so, any way when did chasing weather become an extreme sport?

I dismiss your reality and subsitute my own.

They're in it for the money, not the science!

chakalakasp: I think he's currently building another claptrap, now that he knows taught himself a bit more about welding and learned a few things about the claptrap's weaknesses in the field.

Like maybe getting hung up on a curb or random 2x4 because he welded "armor" down to within 3" of the road surface? Nice pickup mod, but i wouldn't want to trust my life to it if there is anything other than clean pavement on the escape route...

Anybody that drives an S-10 is an idiot. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be driving something like that when my life relied on it working properly.

I owned an S-15 when I was young and stupid.

The only S-10's that didn't suck were the Cyclone and Typhoon but they really weren't the same vehicle.

abb3w: I've often wondered if you could disrupt a tornado with a well-placed explosion....

I am guessing about 30KT will do it. Nukes clear the skies of clouds faster than anything.

Is there even any point to gathering all this data anymore?

FEMA actually has some pretty good classes. Just because Bush put idiots in charge of it doesn't mean they don't have good knowledge and good people.

That said, the overall feel of the site, and the fact that this dude is involved with ARES, makes me suspect they're just a bunch of whackers.
