First I just want to say that I agree with you, that was an explosion; explosion and detonation aren’t necessarily the same thing. Loud noise and rapidly expanding gas = explosion. One correction though, which is that a shockwave is superso

Adulterating food with cheap alternatives is a way to disproportionately screw over poor people. Everyone else will just add beef to their “buy organic 100%...” list of products and pay a premium. If you want to help poeple, help them, educ
