I know what they are, and generally when they make landfall they dissolve like this one did, or severely weaken. But yes, once in the blue moon they can walk on land for a while.
The amazing and cool photo thread

Really depends on the atmospheric conditions. If its backed by a supercell then they can be nasty but otherwise are found in fair weather conditions.

@ Pupic
As far as I'm aware they are trying to start a fusion reaction. It's an alternate way compared to the one in Oxford called JET. This is now a side show to the mosnter EFDA are buiding in France. I think the machine you have pictured also helps model extreames for nucleare reactions wich is being used for weapons. I think there is also another facility in the US that uses giant lasers to generate the heat for fusion reaction.
Looks amaizing though when in use.
this is what it looks like in JET
and a cut away of it in use

The one Pupik posted is an outer chnamer when the staff work, but they have to vacate when the machine turns on or they get fried. The one I posted is inside the Fusion reactor, its a torus shape and the small blocks are as far as i'm aware supercooled magnets to push the ionized plasma away from the walls to contain it. I could be wrong but EFDA have more info on thier website.

That's an eff'n awesome! I love old pictures like that, and the fact that there's 3 and its not some kind of publicity stunt makes it even cooler. 👍

From what I've gleaned from the interwebz, these are 956 Porsches on their way to Sandown Raceway (along the Princes Highway?) just after being prepped up the road at Porsche Cars Australia in 1984.
Only slightly less cool was this road-legal Porsche 917:
With Alabama license plates, driving in Germany.

New photos from the Cassini space probe show Earth as seen from Saturn... (Earth is the bright spot, right of center). Cassini was some 753,000 miles from Saturn, and approximately 900 million miles from Earth when these shots were taken.
.. and a clearer image showing the Earth and the Moon...

Very cool space shots 👍
I spent too long on that Photojournal site though.

Good God, that thing has to be running lean or something.

Nah, long run at high RPM on a dyno under load. Probably testing durability of parts.
