So am I. Hard to get discussion going and stay put. Maybe a "Con't" button. Maybe you can help me? Wanted to respond to an ethos question about "stopping tsunami with nuke"! Ans: Achems razor, drop boulder in pond, then drop smaller rocks outside perimeter. See what happens. 2nd: with a DT nuke, nominal rad, shape charge... what prevents outward expansion vs directional yeald?
