>>I’d expect they have a shelf life of forever.
My bottle has a use-by date, but I agree with you. I know enough chemistry to be dangerous, and that salt bond is a STRONG one.
BTTT!!!
Saturday (starting the sundown before) is the best day to do your best! A little wine, fresh baked bread, a good meal, family, friends, rest, relax, re-create body and soul, read the weekly portion of the How to Live Life Manual, (DON’T GATHER FIREWOOD!!!), a nice nap, a leisurely stroll maybe, and some more good food!
BEST DAY TO DO YOUR BEST!
L’CHIAM!
I’ve lived a long life, and wouldn’t mind dying for standing my ground.
15 or 20 years ago a list was published showing the top 50 targets of the Russians. One was a building in downtown Dallas. The employees were issued backpacks with pouches of water, gloves, masks, a foil survival blanket, a whistle, and a few other things. It was suggested that the employees supplement with energy bars and other items they might find useful.
Where is the nearest mine shaft? Do we have a mine shaft gap? Calling Dr. Strangelove.
I think i have one of the old yellow rad meters somehwere.
Like 25years ago I worked with an old russian physicist guy and I randomly had this big tungsten brick that i was going to gold plate or something,
Anyway the laser ir thermometers that were just getting popular like the fluke ones we had but they would not measure it for some reason.
I heated it up using hot water and took it to one of the old guys on 4/1 and asked for their opinion, a super heavy and almost hot metal rod in a lead box, i took it out and handed it to him, but the thermometer showed it to be room temperature.
He was not happy for a long time
My first assignment was at Cheyenne Mountain, NORAD.
My little Univac 1106 was the MEBU, Mission Essential Back Up, that helped run the Missile Warning maps, especially for training scenarios.
I used to watch these exercises on the little video screen we had in the computer room (Not the big screens in Missile Warning) and think, “Someday, some idiot or mad man is really going to push the button and we’ll all be dead.”
I still dream about it.

You can nuke your favorite coordinates/city right here. Different payloads yields and off the shelf nukes. Fairly customizable and a fun little toy!
I feel so much safer knowing I live under a red dot and President Retard is our leader 🤪
[There were a lot of plots to kill Hitler before he could kill German and during the war. Most unfortunately, they all failed.]
Jason Robards is gettin’a workout in this thread.
Amen...’Threads’ was way more disturbing than ‘The Day After’.
Bkmk
The red blobs don’t seem to line up right with the map. Some are in the gulf. Looks like it may be skewed too low for some reason.
Pure evil. I like you.
“Long ago I worked in a GM parts factory that was a tertiary target.”
Had a job for a few years at Pearl Harbor, occasionally thought about all the megatonnage aimed at me. I knew there were Russian subs with SLBMs just waiting a few hundred miles away..
I was alive in 1980. We had a Soviet ally 90 miles from Florida. Except for not sharing a land border, there’s not much difference.

I was stationed with the 56th Artillery Brigade in (then West) Germany. They were the unit that had the Pershing II missile. THAT used to be the missile the Soviets were scared of. It could hit Moscow from their firing points near the French border.
The way I understand it, if it looked like the Russians were going to come through the Fulda Gap, we were to head for our stations near the border with France. If the Russians looked like they were going to overrun Germany, the firing batteries would likely have launched, and then we were to head for France and run like hell.
‘The Day After” came out when I was over in Germany. Obviously, AFN Europe did NOT show it on TV. I didn’t get to see it until I was stationed back in America. I happened to watch it from someone’s videotape one night when I was on duty for CQ duty. I watched it, and I had to stop the tape when I go to the scene where the B-52’s were taking off. My heart was hammering so hard, I had to take a few minutes to calm down.
