Covid-19

This ^^. I know that I'm super contagious right now, and I'm continuing with the same stringent hygiene practices I adopted before I caught the virus. I don't want anyone to get it from me. The only thing that I don't really have to worry about is the incoming - Amazon packages, mail, groceries. No need to spray those down any longer. I still sanitize my cash, because I will eventually putting that back into circulation...

I confess curiosity. How do you sanitize your cash?

Genau.

Don't we all.

I can actually still read some of it. See? I wasn't just paying attention to Lizette...lol.

On a patrol mission in Vietnam we once came across a broken down wire fence that wasn't on our maps. Thinking maybe we were lost we stopped and radioed HQ for instructions. One of the troops found an old metal sign with something barely legible written in French on the opposite side. We radioed what we could read back to HQ. they translated what they could and radioed back......we had just walked thru an old unmarked French mine field.

Especially at our age

You launder it in the US.

I would rather do that in the Caymans, but wtf do I know about high finance.

let it sit in your safe for 2 weeks....

We buy a bottle or pay the utility bills. That's high financing around here. Money laundering is that $10 you find in the pocket of the pants you just washed.

I wet the bottom of a large cardboard box with lysol spray, then I lay bills on that. I then spray the tops of the bills and close the box. I let it sit for about a day until completely dry. Rinse and repeat for every new batch...

In my case it’s the change I left in my pockets and the damage it did to the enamel exceeds its value.
Banking logic never made it my way.

I wanted to have my money make money, but the paper route I got my $79 just sort of sat there. I think I unlucked into “ lazy money”.

Okay. I had to read that one twice. Funny but lost.

9 was the figure I remember for the W-53.

When I visited the Titan Museum twenty years ago, they had a blank of its reentry body on static display, conveniently horizontal. Someone loaned me a Stetson and I mounted the hull and slapped it with the hat. I don’t have a copy of the photo.

YEEEEEEhawww

I remember reading that the dismantling of the B53 inventory by Pantex was challenging.

What is with the Shriners hospital and the funeral service commercials on local tv?

I don’t doubt that. Some of those big warheads had narrow geometric safety margins. One of the big advances in warhead design revolves around the nuclear charge being semi-harmlessly (ignoring the toxic threat of that much 235 or plutonium) dissipated.

when not all detonators were correctly sequenced. I seem to remember the term “ single-point safe”.

The Titan II that exploded in Arkansas actually caused the nuke to fly out of the launch duct and land outside the fence of the complex. Someone dropped a big socket and punctured the lower fuel tank.

Was that the dropped-wrench accident? A liability with hypergolic fuels

~edit~ yeah

Heard a few those stories from a couple online gamers. Active duty security.

Timing is everything with those nukes.

From my understanding if all of them did not detonate at the same time it would act as a conventional bomb because critical mass would not be attained.
