Most of them are dial-a-yield now, so you could definitely use them as tactical weapons.

The big problem is that the other person seeing that ICBM incoming has to trust that you've scaled them to tactical before they hit, which relies on a lot of shared trust between people throwing nuclear weapons at one another.

That's also why they didn't ever use the ICBM with conventional warhead for precision distance strike idea.

Can I interest you in my trustless blockchain-based nuclear weapons?

Joke's on him, they're taking out the checkout shelving in some stores because they can't put sweets on them any more.

Honestly the whole HFSS switch has been weird, they're removing the gondola ends in a number of stores (bits that face out at the end of the shelving runs) but they have extended the gondolas themselves so that they actually have slightly more space. but now instead of facing out onto the center or front/back of store they are just on either side of you. Seems like a bit of a silly law TBH, and they're already bringing out chocolate bars with a higher content of fruit and nuts so they can still put them on promotional locations.

Just seems daft really. Curious how it's going to go come christmas and we can't put piles of chocolate everywhere.

I wouldn't assume that, chocolate and candy is variable enough (and local enough) that pretty much everywhere has a far superior version of one thing and a butt rear end poo poo version of another thing.

And usually the 'tradition' is some recent low quality thing made necessary by the war rather than an actual tradition. Or from Victorian urbanization at the earliest. But inertia it has.

one thing that the UK actually does well is currant juice drinks, apparently from a WWII scurvy control measure, but did not know non-wine grape drink until British Caribbean expats introduced it in the 60s.
