I’m actually more impressed by the take-off at the end than the landing.

An old pilot saying is, “taking off in a plane is like jumping off a fence post. Landing is like jumping back on that post.”

The landing was far superior and it’s not close. The takeoff he can nose down and correct a lot of shit that you can’t do on a landing.

... as compared to the Nuclear Reactor and Containment buildings?

The Primary Containment wall of the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant is ~ 4.5 feet thick with a matrix of #18 Rebar (2 1/4" thick, 13.6 #/foot), 14-16 layers of rebar.

Inside this structure is a Secondary Containment building ~ 2 .5 feet thick.

Inside this the the Reactor Vessel itself with an 8.5" thick steel wall.

You have no idea how much rebar never made it to Glen Rose from Houston.

Hell yeah she did.  Surprised she still alive but she just calmly composed herself on the floor and got up like nothing happened.

She got up, but she didn't go back at the dude. That's a hard way to learn a lesson, but it looks like she did learn.

It's all in the new patio Juan built in the backyard with his compadres while drinking 3 cases of Bud Light. Constructed last Saturday so that he didn't have to pull a flatwork permit from the city while mixing all the concrete by hand in a wheel barrow.

There's several barns and corrals in Wise County that are nuclear rated. For the record, rebar is a lousy substitute for sucker rod. But the price was right.

I'm really more intrigued by the jet powered locomotive.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bruce-lee-ping-pong/

A video clip purportedly showing actor and martial arts master Bruce Lee expertly playing ping-pong using nunchaku (also called "nunchucks" or "nunchuks") rather than a paddle has amused and astounded viewers for years now:

However, as a full version of the video shows, this clip is not a recording of a real event; it's just a digital creation intended as a viral advertisement for the Nokia N96 Limited Edition Bruce Lee cell phone, produced in 2008 (thirty-five years after Lee's death) by the Beijing office of the JWT (J. Walter Thompson) advertising agency.

The video employed a Bruce Lee look-alike actor pretending to play ping-pong against an opponent, their movements sychronized to the sounds of a genuine table tennis match, with the final audio and the visual image of the ball being added to the clip in post-production.
