And you only need one cyanide pill to render all these considerations moot.

Yes, those pristine, undamaged water mains will work for me after we get dropped halfway into the sea by the faultline. Only other option is distilling the salt water which requires fuel and a condensation rig.

The Republican should be sailing away with this district by about 10% and instead it's *this* close.

Nobody knows what vote is currently left because Ohio is a dumb state. They also don't report precinct-by-precinct so nobody knows what vote is still out and from where. Gonna be close!

Edit: Republican likely going to win, within provisional ballot range, but lol Right to Work got turbofucked in Missouri.

I gotta be honest the baby camps and this VA thing are the most rage I've ever loving felt. Would gleefully guillotine these fucks.

Last year Congress voted to authorize a special allowance for surviving spouses of service members who are affected by a benefits offset they promised to get rid of. To fund the allowance, they raised Tricare fees saying that "the military likes taking care of their own, we should give them a chance to."

Chances are if you're receiving this allowance, you also use Tricare.

Everything is enraging.

The golf course scene is worth the price of admission alone. Just be sure to have something to take your mind off it afterwards since there's some real darkest timeline stuff in there.

I'm in the middle of nowhere but at least as a child at the end of the cold war I was sandwiched comfortably between a SAC base and another primary target. Hopefully there's still a few warheads pointed this way because I never did escape.

I live outside a small city (actually the setting to a book a couple years ago about a high altitude burst). I joke about going mad max and being ok with cannibalism but I really don't want to survive the first strike.

Tokyo/Yokohama aren't worth it anymore imo. All the major combat forces are elsewhere like Okinawa or Iwakuni and the ships in Yokosuka are probably deployed anyway, or already broken.

I'm something like 15 miles south of San Francisco proper. Countervalue strike means I get vaporized when the airport goes up.

The scenario kicks off during Foal Eagle so there's plenty of US assets deployed in the field. North Korea launches off about 50 nukes in the opening salvo, mostly at the US bases in the region but a few gently caress yous at the Japanese. Okinawa and Guam specifically come out unscathed as the eight missiles fired at them either explode off shore or fail in flight. About half the US service members and dependents in SK and Japan end up as casualties, but in the end it does jack poo poo to stop the USN and USAF from completely eliminating the DPRK military within a few days, but the difficulties in hunting down the North Korean launchers mean that KJU is able to get off a last salvo of ICBMs at CONUS.
