An atomic bomb blast in San Diego Bay? No. More like a mushroom of smoke, mud, and water propelled by 2,040 pounds of TNT in seven feet of water. This bomb was detonated by the Naval Electronics Laboratory just a few miles from the Hotel del Coronado in June 1946. The scale model experiment recorded wave intensity from underwater explosions. The San Diego blast was a warm-up exercise for the world’s first underwater nuclear bomb explosion at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands on July 24, 1946.

Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back often!
A few things i have observed in terms of laptop or computer memory is that often there are specs such as SDRAM, DDR or anything else, that must match up the specifications of the motherboard. If the personal computer’s motherboard is very current and there are no os issues, upgrading the ram literally will take under 1 hour. It’s one of several easiest pc upgrade techniques one can consider. Thanks for giving your ideas.
