We're Alive #100!!!!! AKA Chapter 34-2 It Only Takes One

[IamPaul]

But seriously, I am excited to see where the story goes from here. Far more into this story line than the Colony one. But wait another few weeks when we are into a Colony story and I will say the opposite thing. I love them all Kc. Thanks.

it'd be ironic if Datu looked at the nuke flash and got blinded and now has to depend on Hope to get around (if her eye surgery was indeed a success).

Rofl!

It's been a while since I've wanted to re-listen to an episode over and over again! I can't get enough of this episode! It's soooo good! I'm completely blown away at how well KC and the team engineer the environments only using sound! How the hell do you guys do that?!

So here are some questions about Nukes. I'm aware that there is an EMP effect from Nuclear explosions but what exactly does an EMP do? Does it fry all electronics? Or just electronics that are currently switched on? Does it just affect copper/metal based circuitry or would it also affect carbon based circuits and fiber optics? What about a battery? It's got big lead plates in it but if the terminals aren't connected does it still get cooked?

Blown away, heh heh heh.

Knowing KC, we probably heading to the Other Tower and find what Pete and Glenn have been up to and maybe a visit from the Pimp Zombie and Zombie Killer.

Is that Ghost Face Zombie Killah?

I hope I'm not the only person to be disappointed when Datu said he left Lady with Pegs and Kelly. I'm not a fan of either character, but i don't think Kc would kill a dog. Any ideas on how they escape?

My grandmother (the one who used to watch them test A-Bombs because we're from Las Vegas) and I spent most of the day trying to figure the factors out.
Boulder is roughly 25 square miles (64.75 km roughly) and the bomb is actually fairly small, at it's most deadly at 1.7 miles (2.74 km) with 98% dead (i think?) and dwindling down to 4% at 4.7 miles (75.64 km). Now not saying that they will not suffer any damage but with the size of boulder [and assuming they're on the edge given Datu's description] it's really hard to say, if they are farther out they have a higher chance of being alive.

But the blast isn't the only thing that can kill in this situation, you have debris falling from high in the air, the earth shaking could damage outlying sturctures, the light can blind, the sound can deafen, and of course radiation sickness.

Damn, it don't sound good.

My only thought is that these are the main cast, they don't just get blown away (hehe...sorry) even Angel who got a shot to the head with no real lines had a set up. I think we will see these characters again.
Kelly didn't get to be so awesome to be killed bomb.

Actually, newer cars have sensors to determine the quality of the gas, and would compensate for the deteriorated potential energy and all-out-dirtiness of the breakdown by adjusting any combination of spark/fuel injector PWM/air flow...etc, to keep it running. Albeit still running like shit, I'd give a newer car a better chance at being able to handle 'stale' gas. (Software verification engineer for Engine Control Modules for one of the larger automakers chiming in here... Now to climb down off my soapbox)

alright....thats fucking cool

Guess I'm more familiar with old tech vs new, but I believe it would be fair to say then....in lieu of a "brand new" car/truck, I'd go for the old 74 Camaro before I went for the 92 Camaro with its tuned port injection, easily fouled, plugged and completely useless

Also....you just shot waaaaaaaaay up on my list of people I like here

While we're on the topic of Apocalyptic fuel issues it would have been cool if Bio-diesel had come up. I've also had some hilarious chatter with friends about taming zombies and using them in a zombie-drawn cart style machine. That or sticking a few of them in a big zombie-hamster-wheel to generate electricity.

Bio diesel is a cool option, or hell...convert all the way over to pure vegetable oil power....im sure there's tons of liters of the stuff left in various places....heh, one thing I want to try one day is convert a motorcycle over to run on moonshine....ride to your destination, then get hammered on the leftover fuel! Awesome

They could also be growing bio-diesel from crops or from or algae or if there is any fat left on any zombies, even the zombies themselves.
