John says that every nuke will be used. But when? I can see two possibilities. There will be a fear of "use 'em or lose 'em" that might result in the birds flying in the early hours of the CoC war.

The problem is they work about as well as a poor man's attempt at making an atom bomb. One of the funniest, in a make you cry kinda of way, that I have seen in t...

I once said to John (in an email) that I expected "every last nuke" to kill five or six billion people, and that would abort the Singularity.
