Capoeira music Updated 2025-07-16
Capoeira music is amazing. And some Brazilian pop adaptations of it have also been awesome.

Implosion-type fission weapon Updated 2025-07-16
Implosion-type fission weapons are more complicated than gun-type fission weapon because you have to precisely coordinate the detonation of a bunch of explosives.
Gun-type fission weapon Updated 2025-07-16
Gun-type fission weapons are the simplest approach and they work with Uranium-235 bombs as you can ignite it with just one explosion.
But Gun-type fission weapons don't work with plutonium, and weapon grade Plutonium is cheaper than weapon grade Uranium, so it wasn't much used.
