Nuclear fallout information

[jigs_n_fixtures]

Personally I’m not worried at all about Russian nukes.

Early in the mess when it was apparent that the Russian military was an inept bunch of clowns, and their general officers had been steeling at least half of thier budgets, instead of maintaining their equipment, I watched one of one of Putin’s press conferences, and he mentioned using nukes. And two generals looked at each other with a deer in the headlights look. They are the ones in charge of their nuclear weapons and launch vehicles.

So, I’m reasonably certain that their nukes won’t work any better than anything else their military has tried to use.

At 55 when my time comes it comes. The last money I would spend is on surviving this kind of nuclear attack. I probably wouldn't want to. I have a great alternative to this earth. This world won't be worth living in in 10 years the way we are headed. The irony is, those concerned with environment and global climate change will make the
US such a horrible country to live in, you won't want to. We are on our way there now.

You might survive the nuclear attack, but what is coming after that. Our military is being reduced and weakend, who is defending the country if the bases are gone?

I'm going to work on living my best years, trusting God and when He says it is time, I'm good with that. I do prepare for things I do want to survive, blizzards, poor supply chain, and the purposefully destructive decision making coming out of Washington.

That's the same attitude people had during the depression and the dust bowl. My parents ate weeds and thought things might be over as they knew it. Well, it wasn't. Three-four generations later, we're still here. I'm sitting on my couch under a nice warm blanket thinking about what to eat for breakfast, talking to people from all over the world.

Every generation has its thoughts about the past and the future.

Did you go to school out in the sticks like I did. Graduation was class of only 75 kids. Times were different without a cellphone. We had to socialize amongst ourselves more so it was less crazy than today. I can remember having first Texas Instruments calculator to use in algebra and physics classes in school. I shared it with my classmates taught them how to use it. We all thought it was cool to use at the time, shorten homework time in half. Typical calculator used 9v batteries and was size of brick when in its protective case. Now any calculator capable of equations is totally inexpensive and small. Our teacher did not even own calculator at the time they shared one amongst math classes. The school purchased one to understand its value in the classroom.

My father purchased the first TI calculator that was offered to the public. He let us look at it.

Remember 7734 upside down on the 8 segment display?

Calculators were later banned in school because they thought you were cheating if you used them. However, what they at first thought was an instrument of the devil turned out to be nonsense. You still had to know which buttons to push and why.

Now calculators are provided in schools. When they have state testing, the students all get the same model of TI.

So anyways, as they say hope/pray for the best, but prepare for the worst. In other words, hope everything gonna be ok, but prepare to be either fried with radiation or live like a muskrat.

Cockroach.

I think for some people it is easier to imagine the end of the world than imagining they're going to end and the world will go on.

Like I always say.. No one gets out alive...

 

[ultrarunner]

Scifi has often looked at a post Nuclear age with pockets of humanity scattered around the world as survivors and legends of rebirth after apocalypse...

Even Star Trek has this theme…. I can't remember but think is was mid 21st century...?
