I think I was still occasionally using Mac OS in early 1999, but I made the leap sometime that year.

Do not use those to charge, ever:

One exploded. The other disintegrated.

Toss in an exploding space shuttle and the fall of the Berlin wall and you get Gen X.

Trump is 79 as of the time of the bombing.

It's just a press release from the university.

Is that a dare? Go ahead man, double dog dare us. Then we have to do it.

One could, hypothetically, turn this around and use it to abduct MAGAts, no?

Even more weird possibilities: would the DoE forcibly relocate the physicists and engineers who do this work? Or would California step in and protect them? In any case I think the number of weapons that wind up under the control of the State of California would not be zero. The same goes for bombers, and missile systems, of which California has the most flexible examples.

Sure, the production missile fleet is in Montana and N. Dakota, but those things are there to draw fire, not necessarily to be used. But Vandenberg and Edwards are in California. What happens to those?

Restlessness.

They are controlled normally by the Department of Energy.

But sesession would be a weird event, and many things would change. Physical location is not one of them. And the physical location of the place where the most advanced nuclear weapons are designed and built is in California.

Would the physicists and engineers at Lawrence Livermore just pack up and leave? Or would they continue rolling out B.83s or something in between.
