Subject: anybody watch Fallout?
I played the game while I was recovering from my surgeries, and it is still my favorite. Mostly I don't game anymore, but I like this one (Fallout 4). Well, the series based on the game was really good. Looking forward to the next season. But some science-y folks wanted to investigate the claim that "if you see a nuclear blast, hold your thumb up and arm's length. If it covers the blast, you'll be fine. If it doesn't, kiss your butt goodbye.

Yeah, we geeks have to calculate all that. I remember some geeks calculated that Ringworld would be unstable (good book otherwise). We just have to do it. :-)
