The Schlong Drive is a propulsion system that focuses
Schwartz energy through a Wang crystal and pushes the
craft to break the Tally barrier by creating a
TallyWacker field. Lots of thrust generated.
Yeah, keep saying that until the ceiling starts to crumble
overhead. I’m almost excited to see that asshole’s face
when the first chuck falls…
I picture the Hammerheads sneaking off to open that door.
When they “easily” get it open a huge foam rubber schlong
on a spring launches them back on their butts at the Captain’s
feet. Or your basic giant cream pie! Yes I’m remembering the
“Jackass” movies… My youngest was obsessed with them so
I wound up watching whether I wanted to or not…
I did enjoy what they called “the face palm” bit thought,
more so with the bag of flour taped to the palm. (For those
that didn’t see it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMS4ESFlfDk )
palm reader: mmm, while the icon is a right hand, does it really care? Deals with
enough species, should be able to handle handedness. Engineering just puts the
readers wherever most convenient for circuit layout? Or perhaps a Fibber McGee
closet that you do not want to be standing in front of when the door opens :}
the first time was the artist didn’t have a left one,,
the second was for continuity..
this is a jest.
that is a security panel,. ie; programed for a select
few. and for a specific hand.! you don’t want
random people walking in to the armory..
blue panel with yellow circle is regular door access.
blue with security is for crew to bypass on lock-
down,.
I had to really look to see what you were talking about. Probably
a standard, regardless of location. Everybody gives a scan of their
right hand for potential access verification.
BTW……
Where is the power to the bunker coming from?
External? Or internal?
If external, then it should be easy enough to backtrack the source
and cut the power, leaving the bunker in the dark, no air exchange
(CO2 buildup), no refrigeration, no communications.
If internal, then crash the exit stairway, and let the generator
exhaust the fuel tank (no matter how long it takes). Results,
same as above.
(Unless they have an atomic pile down there….
that’s a different discussion)
I haven’t seen a nuclear fission reactor referred to as an
“atomic pile” in a coon’s.age. Fun fact: nuclear reactors were
called “piles” because the ‘first working reactor’ was essentially
a “pile” (a very carefully stacked pile) of bricks of graphite and
metallic uranium. It didn’t have either a control mechanism or
a cooling system. It didn’t need it as the reactor only produced
around 1/2 watt. It did not even use enriched uranium. Just
uranium metal of normally occurring ratios. All it was intended
to do was prove that man made, controlled, sustained nuclear
fission was possible.
power = both,. these “guys” are lazy, they would be wired into
the grid, until it was cut.. and most prefab bunkers allow 6
months for stand alone sustainability.
how long = now.! Empire wants him DEAD. not 6 months down
the line ‘he or his minions’ dig him out an start over..
unless the bunker was built “after” the fall, no way would it
be Atomic.! the government restrictions would not allow an
atomic bomb inside city limits.
Don’t forget that nuke plants are high maintenance.
You can’t just let it sit alone for any extended period of time.
You can’t just put a three year old at the controls and tell’em to mash
some buttons.
And: fun fact, you need an auxiliary power in case you have to shut
the thing down for a while just to keep the cooling going. Even “dead”
fuel rods produce enough energy to require constant cooling.
Could have a hydrogen fuel cell/battery setup like they used on the Apollo
missions. The bunker could be a ’50s built one and was upgraded to the
current status. There was a lot of them built during the ’50s and ’60s, more
so in the high population areas. You can pretty accurately judge the age of
a city by how tall the buildings are, and by how old the tall ones are.
Fuel cell might solve some problems.
As long as they have enough hydrogen and oxygen
somewhere.
Geothermal might be another idea.
… on second thought …
According to http://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-1049/ they’re
600ft underground – hmm … should be close enough to the
surface still, they’d probably need heating for comfortable
living, not cooling.
heating – no,. cooling yes.. because of ‘geothermal gradient.’
after about 100 ft (depending on the thermocline) it starts
getting hotter. at 600 feet it would be roughly 75f (24c) year
round. deepest mine in the world they have special cooling
suits, to keep from cooking, in minutes.!
It’s not easy to guess without knowing where exactly they are.
When you go down a few dozen feet the temperature stabilizes to the
long term average surface temperature at that place.
If you go deep, deep underground the gradient seems to be something
like 30K/km, that’s only like 3F for 600ft.
(Unless they’re close to a volcano or something, of course)
My first pc was a Packard “Hell” had win95, too
many “backdoors” than I care to count, and a
dinky 1.6 gig HD which at the start, used 995 mb
just for the OS and the shareware that Circuit City
could stuff on it and still run. I upgraded the HD to
8 gig, added ram to 16 mb, and still ran like crap.
Then when I re-re-installed windows (happy 99
my ass) I discovered a tiny little box that when
checked, allowed me to pick and choose what was
installed. Grrrrrrr……
He, my first had a Z80, no harddrive and a 7segment
display for readout. Programmed with a hex keyboard.
Later I added a video-interface and an ASCII keyboard…
A bit slow to program, but the learning curve on
machine code – oh boy…
My very first computer was called a Timex-Sinclair with a HUGE
4kb of on-board ram, an expansion pak that brought it up to
16kb of ram, a very old 8088 CPU, and graphics lower than
even an Atari. Used a weird machine/basic code and a touch
“keyboard”, it was about the size of a paper-backed book.
It used a common cassette tape deck as ram storage, took
15-20 mins to save my work! I had to use 2 fingers to type
and it took HOURS to enter any program I wrote or found.
Needless to say the Atari 1200 XL I bought in ’84 was
amazing after that heh. The TS was the very first “computer”
that was under $200 in ’82, hell it ran on a 4-bit system.
But it did teach me Hex and Basic so it wasn’t a total waist
of money.
That unit was the “deluxe” model I found at a K-Mart,
the box was a bit dusty and the sales guy was VERY
happy I bought it lol. It came with a TV switch so I
hooked it up the the 13″ TV I had in my bedroom.
Looking at the vote incentive, I have to disagree with Jon’s
choice of tool. I think I might have started off with a 25lb
sledge and then – maybe – have graduated to the axe.
Perhaps it’s just the difference between maintenance
styles between the USAF and Army. 😉
Reminds me of Heinlein’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
“I don’t think we should drop any more rocks on that mountain.” (NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex.)
“Why not?”
“Because it’s not there anymore.”
I seriously doubt any engineer had any idea that someone
could launch that many g-rods onto a bunker from space.
Most deep bunkers weren’t designed to handle that many
impacts in that tight of an area. Bunkers were designed to
handle ground explosions, not kinetic impacts.
..Elites.. come on , do you really think an elite
is going to wait this out with a blue collar.?
all that is in that hole, is the elite, mistress
(prolly Sally) and one or two ass kissers,
that end up as servant / slave.!
I feel that most kingdoms on Earth have no clue or
choose to believe that the Empire has the tech to
that level, which forces the Empire to make these
kinds of actions over and over to different kingdoms.
Eventually they will learn, but it’s going to take time.
You folks got it right. Bombs are prepping the way.
Can the hammers see the dragon?
see dragons,, i would say No.
as we have seen (or not) they can mask themselves.
That was so obvious by the time I got to read this everyone
had agreed that was why the conventional bombs first.
“Schlong Drive”!?!!
YHGTBFKM!?
ROFLOLMFAO!
And the trap is set.
Now to see what’s behind Door #1
when the trap is sprung.
ROFLOL!!!!
LOL! Damit I did another spit-take on that one! PppppCcccc….
That gives them two draw cards,
the Schlong Drive or the cargo hold.
Which will they go for first?
The Schlong Drive is a propulsion system that focuses
Schwartz energy through a Wang crystal and pushes the
craft to break the Tally barrier by creating a
TallyWacker field. Lots of thrust generated.
Don’t forget the ring, the ring is vital!
Thank You PC, I needed a good laugh
Oh, it gets better… or worse,
depending on how low your sense of humor is.
I watch a lot of youtube, so it’s pretty low…..
😛
Or the sludge tank for the recycling system
Schlong Drive; Self Contained Humus Long Drive.
So what is behind the door is a toilet !
Question: shouldn’t that be “schwanz” energy
instead of ” schwartz” energy? 😉

It’s either funny or pathetic, depending on your own experience with computers.
Funny and the ultimate solution
percussive maintance.!
That is why computers are called FREDs.
F—ing ridiculous electronic devices.

Might be a bit tricky that far under ground.

(Unless they’re close to a volcano or something, of course)
The best source I’ve found online
https://www.encyclopedia.com/earth-and-environment/ecology-and-environmentalism/environmental-studies/geothermal-gradient
says that the typical gradient should be around 0.82–1.65°F/100 ft
(15–30°C/km) for places far from any seismic active region and can
be up to 11°F/100 ft, or 200°C/km for places like Iceland.
My best guess would be to take the temperature of their tap water
and add maybe 3-5°F for the 200ft below ground that they are.
