I’m definitely going away now. I’m meant to have a busy day tomorrow. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

Maybe I am grumpy. I don’t know. I can’t tell any more.
@bigmac It was a great tour, especially with former operators talking about their work there. Much food for thought.

I’m not grumpy, just tired.
@Slinguist The story does address this issue.
@jenny_sinclair @Bill_Owen I have already addressed this question.

@dmeeze @NewtonMark It does have a certain symmetry about it, yes.

@twiddlekins @daviottenheimer … you get a very different, very real sense of… well I’m not quite sure how to describe it.
@twiddlekins @daviottenheimer Oh yeah. Standing in the bunker with half a dozen of those missiles, seeing and hearing them being handled…
@daviottenheimer Heh. Well they didn’t let us ride the elevator.
@NewtonMark @daviottenheimer Excellent. It’s the warning alarm before they start moving six tons of missile. twitter.com/daviottenheime…
Thanks to @daviottenheimer once more for the first half of the missile raising sequence. twitter.com/daviottenheime…
I’ve got the sound of the alarm as they started the elevator, @daviottenheimer, so I might make that into another ringtone for @NewtonMark.
“This is the sound…” Thanks, @daviottenheimer. twitter.com/daviottenheime…
@AbstractCode We were specifically told this would be tricky. The booster pushed this missile to Mach 1 in 4 seconds. That’s a few Gs.
@AbstractCode I suspect that once things would have reached this point it would seem petty to quibble over such details.
This one wasn’t anything to do with me either. twitter.com/GizmodoAU/stat…
Not quite. Missile Command is missiles intercepting incoming ICBMs. These were for intercepting Tu-95 “Bear” bomber aircraft.
The job of Nike-Hercules was to defend against incoming squadrons of Russian bombers with H-bombs by, um, nuking them. Anti-aircraft nukes.
All silliness aside, it was great to be given a tour by guys who actually manned defensive missile sites like this one, SF-88L.
Some veterans stepped us through using the elevator to lift a missile out of the bunker and raise it for launch. Th..twitter.com/i/web/status/8…pR
Also I did not do anything inappropriate with the nuclear weapons and you can’t prove that I did.
Thank you, @daviottenheimer, for a damn fine day with the nukes. pic.twitter.com/UIAcKvXT2k

Imagine that, folks. News stories that actually explain WTF is happening in a way you can understand. Shocking. Totally shocking. @TeenVogue
I’m enjoying how @TeenVogue gives you a punchy this-happened and back story, and links out to more detail. Like it’s the web or something.

@troyhunt That is indeed a great spot down there. You have chosen well.
Just saw a guy walk past with a t-shirt reading “IMMIGRANTS FEED AMERICA”, and he’s certainly been taking good advantage of that fact.

thegrugq_ebooks The larger point is sound, now hide the smell.
@daviottenheimer @vaughndavis That’s plenty of missiles. It’s almost like they wanted to defend San Francisco or something.
@vaughndavis Excellent. @daviottenheimer will be my guide in these matters, and I suspect he knows all about this place.
Sat plan, draft: Healthy* breakfast; visit SF-88L Nike Missile Site, it’s a Cold War thing; remainder TBA.
@mxyzplx @CNN So, everything continuing to run #smoothlyasexpected then. Lovely.
According to @CNN just now, Vice-President Pence says the US will “hold Russia to account”, which will be interesting.
