…The pipe-bombs Omar was making to go after the County Clerk’s office after they denied his and Maria’s marriage license, referenced here. He… kinda forgot about them, after they figured out they could just say ‘fuckit’ and hop a flight to Vegas and hit up the nearest Church of Elvis to do the deed.
Meh. More people shooting Tannerite inside of metal objects… From too close. Without barricade, overhead protection or a fucking clue that you want those to keep your ass in one piece and the ‘ol circulatory fluid where it belongs.
Pardon my crotchety old self, we DO need Tannerite to be handed out to kids like these. Before they breed…
Yeah; had a similar realization recently. Where I work, we recently decommissioned a much-reviled piece of computing equipment, and I was considering packing some Tannerite in and getting my revenge. Then I realized that there’s a term for explosives inside a flimsy metal casing: it’s called a fragmentation warhead, and it sends small chunks of metal at high velocities for a very long distance. That’s a recipe for the equipment getting revenge on me, not the other way around.
Judging by the video, there’s about half a second from flash to bang, so they’re something like 200m away from the car. That was our cordon distance for a small VBIED, so that’s how far away we’d have been. Considering the large thing that flew past them, I was right when I thought that was awfully close.
Tannerite shoots at less than 1/4 the speed of C4, but does make about as much gas on a weight:weight basis, with even more heat to cause that gas to expand- due to the fuels including Aluminum, Titanium and (possibly?) Zirconium, all of which burn VERY HOT… Translation: it doesn’t CUT steel nearly as well as the plastic explosives, but is even BETTER at lifting/throwing shit near the explosion around…
There is over 300 lb. of Tannerite (not MIXED) sitting in the building I am writing this in.
There’s about 30,000 lb. of various other (mostly low) explosives on site in 5 magazines.
Bubble wrap the world? No. I just happen to be responsible for seeing that various explosive based amusements STAY amusing. My attitude towards people being stupid with HE in public is very much that of an firefighter/EMT watching a drunk get behind the wheel of a car- You’re an idiot, and your stupidity WILL make my job more difficult (and ridden with red tape).
Well, if nothing else, the fallout from this will be hilarious – Time to play “Pin The Pipe-Bomb On The Poor Bastard Left Holding The Bag”. And there’s the rub, of course…
WoW !! I like it !! ugh, what pipe bombs ?????

That was really dumb,admitting you made pipe bombs ON THE PHONE. I bet the NSA are all over that shit.

50lb and a metal case? I could carry that!
I assume tannerite packs less punch than C4.
Judging by the relative hurdles involved in getting ahold of each, I would say that’s a safe assumption.

There simply isn’t enough bubble-wrap to make the whole world safe, you know.

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who actively posts warnings about hazardous typefaces in visible places.
Aw, Fuck Me Runnin’…

If Nick and Co. were wise, they would let sleeping pipe bombs lie. But…, why do I get the feeling that they won’t?
Question: Where do I find this stuff, and WHY does it seem that it isn’t regulated or restricted in any way?
ohh scary explosion. Out of no where the Dorkleks ( a more successful cousin to the Daleks) appears. “regulate, regulate, regulate!”
Answer: At most gun shops, and because it isn’t (other than being banned in leftist states like Marxachusetts).
Knew it.
Though I don’t think Omar should be talking about bombs in an Airport. That’s just asking for a cavity search.
Hey, we all have our own ways of getting dates.
Who knows, he might enjoy it.
Came here to say this.
Thumbs up for the “Helvetica scenario” warning sign
Search a little harder and you can find the really good videos of Tannerite. 😉

Maria’s response is perfect. She’s fully become a wife.
“What did you do this time?” Maria asks Omar. Sounds like he’s working on ex-wife #10.
