Trying to summon Oppenheimer. I'd really like to learn about nuclear proliferation, and what books are a good start for that. I have access to a college library, so I should be able to get obscure stuff on interlibrary loan.
He made a post a while back saying he was done posting under the trip but would still lurk some, who knows, you might get lucky IF I GET TRIPLE DOUBLE QUADS

Oppenheimer more or less dropped his trip because of all the retarded tripfag drama it'd cause every time he showed up, he did pop up once to correct somehow who was claiming he'd said things he didn't actually though, so he's still here. He'd usually post this reading list whenever someone asked.

I still wonder - why did it cause such a shitstorm every time he busted the nuclear Armageddon myth. People are so buttblasted about it, it's sort of like the global warming debate.
OP here
What about Bruce Blair's Logic of Accidental Nuclear War and Strategic Command and Control?

They didn't like someone with actual knowledge ruining their fantasy, and once someone is recognized as an actual expert it brings a lot of salt from wannabes.

Why does the sequence of the number of the thread matter. Can you know when a certain posting is coming up? Do you pull or get these postings that way. I don't see the point, nor understand why it's so important.
Meanwhile, going back to my finger box with Uranium in it. It's ok, it's depleted, but still radioactive and I don't ever lick my fingers from that box.
