Sleep Well in New York

New York?

They get hit with a nuclear attack, we're all dead. Everybody.

[Jolly]

Not all.

Depends on if it's a massive exchange or selected. Even in a massive exchange, some will survive. The Soviets thought a nuclear war was survivable and planned that way, even in urban settings. We used to think some could survive, especially outside of the big cities, but we've stopped planning and preparing.

When we first moved to Herndon I wasn't sure.

Now I'm sure there is a bulls eye on Fairfax and Loudoun.

Here in Smithfield we are 12 miles from where aircraft carriers are made and about 18 from where they live.

That might be on the edge.

Yeah Loudon sees about 80% of the WORLD'S internet traffic go through those data centers, so.......a good target indeed. Then again, the data centers are redundant/backed-up elsewhere in the country, so it's not all eggs in one basket.

Another thing: NYC Emergency Management has a history of doing this—publishing weird PSAs that freak people out. They're taking credit for this and no one anywhere is saying this was due to intelligence gathering or knowledge from the White House.

Well, it appears to primarily be Hal Turner that's getting freaked out.

Great. First it's Giant African Land Snails and now it's nuclear bombs.

I can't wait to see what's in store for tomorrow.

Dunno. Turner would have been just another voice in the wilderness without the PSA to lend some credence...

I'm fairly sure he still is.

[Jolly]

Aye, but now you've heard him.

Does that mean he's still in the wilderness?

[Doctor Phibes]

Maybe they were planting a nuke.

Now there's something I haven't worried thought about in about a quarter of a century.

Vogons.

Don’t. Just don’t. I had a long fruitless call with those heartless bastards this afternoon.

So if I'm understanding what Vogons are . . . in a battle between a Karen and a Vogon, who do you think would win?

[Mik]

Vogons. Hands down.
