    Also there was a fire call to this ant before hand :/ Are they retarded. If a plant is on fire then there probably is a good chance that it will explode. Shouldnt they have prepared the surrounding people for this?

    Accidents, unfortunately, happen. I'm sure the surrounding townships have contingency plans for this sort of emergency, but the fact of the matter is that they can only prepare so much for a fertilizer plant explosion. Furthermore a plant like this being on fire requires much more stringent care then just dousing it in water. I would not at all be surprised if the firefighters needed to be in flame-retardant Level A just to get [i]near[/i] the place, let alone in a position to combat the blaze, what with all the chemicals being blown around and not fully combusted. It's going to take a while to clean up.

    It just makes it worse that those chemicals are floating around, according to the wonderful place of the internet, the certain chemicals can cause cancer, and stay in one area for a long time...

    Fertilizer make-up has changed radically since the 80's, largely due to the revelation that Ethylene dibro-mide was found to be carcinogenic (causes cancer) and was banned from all fertilizers thanks to the EPA. While not all fertilizers are the same, generally they do not contain carcinogenic materials anymore. However, that does not mean this event is any less dire for the environment or for the immediate nearby population. That explosion still kicked up tons of shit that should not be in the air or the ground and will likely cause problems of a toxic nature for plants, crops, and general animal/human life.

    Also, you are no longer allowed to post just smileys or what have you, so please don't do that in the future, HDB. Thank you.

    Holy shit.

    I've seen a lot of explosions (I'm studying Environmental Health and Safety, you have to learn the consequences of not checking your meters, improper chemical usage, etc) but this one is [i]horrible.[/i]

    Wait, is this the thread where you can post any useless crap that you want?
    [/quote]

    yes as long as it doesn't break code of conduct (i.e. no porn, excessive gore, etc.)

  5. When, exactly, did you kill M'uru? On launch M'uru was bugged as shit for at least a month or so and was unwinnable.

    Earliest for me was probably beating Sonic and Knuckles, I wasn't super impressed with games until I got a Genesis (Because it did what nintendaongkjg;ke)

    Other notable moments I guess would be the Kaelthas fight, the Algalon fight, and C'Thun holy shit C'Thun was rad back then

    Non-mmo related would probably be Nocturne (the opening was just amazing holy shit) and Bioshock 1, stepping into Rapture was incredible

    because you're a zombie, no zombies allowed in my off topic

  7. actually, after further reflection you can post your terrible images here as long as you don't annoy others with it and it isn't often as that would defeat the purpose of a general image thread

    in this thread the will of the people is the will of the mods, and if they say you have to go, you have to [i]go[/i]

  12. Fans of Off-Topic pre-nazi mod invasion can rest at ease; this thread now exists so you can post poorly for no raisin. Feel free to be a rad dude with a 'tude and post freely~

    The only rule is all [url="http://pokemmo.eu/code_of_conduct/"]Code of Conduct[/url] rules apply here, otherwise go hog wild

    since there seems to be some confusion, let me clarify

    this is the old offtopic essentially

    no porn, no excessively graphic images (this is subjective so, for example, a generally viewed graphic show (The Walking Dead) is fine but vore/excessive gore is not; it's up to the mod looking at the image at the time so you may get probated you may not, press your luck if you want to find out!)

    also, for funsies, there are three memes that will get you a special prize if you post them!

  13. Welcome! This is a thread that allows you to post that super-witty and not at all played out meme, macro, image OR VIDEO you found somewhere on the internets.

    All [url="http://www.pokemmo.eu/code_of_conduct/"]Code of Conduct[/url] rules apply here.
