So at what point do we start stockpiling Iostat and Geiger counters? Before the election a significant number of his supporters thought he would start a nuclear war and voted for him anyway. Could be that they were prescient?

No.

Iā€™m a little disappointed that Geiger Counters do not look like they used to.

Yeah, Iā€™d want one like those yellow Civil Defense models from the 1950ies. Not a thingy that plugs into a smartphone.

Put a disc on top of this one and you have the USS Enterprise.

Donā€™t know about you, but I will stand next to a valuable military target on that day and happily vaporize in the first exchanges. Fuck surviving in that world afterwards.

Thatā€™s probably the best option, however given my location, I am suspecting it will not be an option for me and mine.

I used to live near enough to one of those, but theyā€™ve closed it.
And ever since the targeting systems have become much more accurate, the warhead yields have been dialled down; you canā€™t even gamble on being wiped out by the odd 30+ MT ā€œdeviceā€ somewhere in the neighbourhood anymore.

Surely these were intentional. No one could be that innocent. Very much reminds of the ā€œSettlers of Catanā€ bit from ā€œBig Bang Theory.ā€

Just aired this on NPR yesterday. More of the brass shitting on the troops and then trying to cover it up. Surprising thing to me was in as much of a Navy town as Newport News is , these reporters were getting a remarkable amount of cooperation. Itā€™s almost like people valued the lives of these sailors more than their own commanders did.
