    Not sure where this best belongs, but a car bomb exploded in Nashville, TN this morning. Christmas morning in the U.S. It was an RV which was broadcasting a loud recorded message to evacuate the area because of a bomb. Sounds like a single targeted bombing that intended to cause chaos or...

    That's pretty messed up no matter what. I would be tempted to name and shame. On the commercial side, it's almost slightly understandable, but still shouldn't have been such a change in one day. If on the defense side, that's more than a dick move.

    What chemicals can cause a reddish explosion cloud?

    Yes, seeing it reported as ammonium nitrate now. Notorious stuff involved in past industrial accidents and bombs. Used extensively as fertilizer and as a component for explosives. https://twitter.com/LBpresidency/status/1290752731918077953 Google translation: ---------- Post added at 07:44...

    Grant Imahara passes away at 49

    I didn't see an existing thread, and I think he had plenty of fans among us to warrant one. Grant was known for Mythbusters and White Rabbit Project on TV. He was also extremely popular in the Battlebots scene for his robot Deadblow. Prior to Mythbusters, Grant worked with Adam, Jamie, and Tory...
