I am perfectly happy to assume the medicine does what science has established it does, so you don't have to quote the study on this for my sake. I would probably stock up on it myself, if things turn more dire in the near future.
in global poltics that is
I think that is a perfectly valid way to look at the situation @Deleted User
fair enough
but if you see a mushroom cloud and it is smaller than your thumb...
I honestly have no idea what the strength of currently employed nuclear weapons are, or if they could indeed cause a nuclear winter, or even how many of them would be launched. I just thought the absurdity of the imagery of popping a pill against a shockwave was funny
totally agree that if you're just exposed to radiation, it would be wiser to use than not

Scott Manley made (and is still ongoing I think) a series on The Science of Nuclear Bombs.
One of the things he points out is, how hard it is to make larger bombs. Basically, if the nuclear fuel gets vaporized and blasted away before it can detonate, it's all wasted.
So smaller nuclear bombs are more efficient.
One of the tricks is to wrap the fissile material into some very heavy metal. By sheer inertia, it keeps the nuclear material confined for "longer" so more of it can undergo fission.
when the last megaton bombs are dismantled, nuclear winter will probably be impossible
don't know what the sizes of the ones in Pakistan and North Korea are, but I don't think it's megaton+ since they've spent a relatively long time developing something as simple as what they have
unorganic chemistry professor I had at university called the NK scientists retarded, because of how long it took them to figure out how to make a basic nuke, lol
I think it was mostly the enrichment of uranium they had trouble with
He's probably a retard.
I still don't think NK developed shit, it was all supplied by Russia.
And it's not just the enrichment, making it go boom is also hard.
See the already mentioned series by Scott Manley.
There's even some bullshit on how to create a specific shape with explosive charges, using explosives of different detonation speeds, so all the shockwaves hit the nuclear material at the same time with a spherical shape.
Even on this first video, he talks about how some neutrons are just "too fast" to create a chain reaction.

`I brought up the subject of painkillers with my gynecologist weeks before my surgery. She said that I would be given ibuprofen. “Is that it?” I asked. “That’s what I take if I have a headache. The removal of an organ certainly deserves more.”
“That’s all you will need,” she said, with the body confidence that comes from a lifetime of skiing in crisp, Alpine air.`
`I didn’t mention that I use ibuprofen like candy. Why else do they come in such jumbo sizes at American warehouse stores?`
well, gee, what an excellent argument
that's all she has to say on the subject - american warehouse stores sell them in tubs, so therefore they are not problematic
unfortunately, there's no real content in it except "poor me, I was not ready for this"
`Videos of beheadings are the most feared among content moderators. I have seen indeed quite a lot of them. The content is of course very graphic. But for me the abundance of blood prevents empathy, the death is fast. I struggled not to feel sick. In the period of the Muslim Aid Feast, I had to handle a lot of content of cattle slaughtering. I was disturbed as I realize that they affected me not much differently than human beheadings. Perhaps even a bit more as the agony of the animals lasts longer.`
`ISIS was not the only source of beheading videos. A lot of content was originating from the war against drug cartels in Latin America, Myanmar and even from the southern borderlands of my own country. The ISIS videos were though more sophisticated: the mise en scene and background music were almost making the content unreal when I couldn't discern the last facial expression of the victims.`

`“In reality, a lot of us are anxious, stressed, unhappy, numb,” said Alannah Maynez, 19, a freshman taking the course. “The fact that a class like this has such large interest speaks to how tired students are of numbing their emotions — both positive and negative — so they can focus on their work, the next step, the next accomplishment.”`
