Neat, very nice work. You got on a list super early! haha, I am jealous.
Did you do anything 'sciency' with your career?
I am super into nuclear device/weapons design (two very different things) and, just to clarify your statement, the US definitely built a neutron bomb, basically a nuke that zaps people with radiation while leaving buildings more or less standing.
Another note, you are correct in that the bombs create microwaves, but, to clarify, microwave energy is not typically the intended energy output of a nuclear explosion. The intended energy output for a neutron bomb (also known as an enhanced radiation weapon (ERW)), is not microwaves. The primary purpose of a neutron bomb is to maximize the emission of neutron radiation while minimizing the blast and heat effects typically associated with nuclear explosions. As you know, neutron bombs are designed to penetrate armour and inflict lethal radiation doses to living organisms, particularly to kill or incapacitate enemy troops, with relatively less damage to buildings and infrastructure due to the reduced blast effect.
The electromagnetic pulse (EMP), which includes microwaves along with a wide range of other electromagnetic frequencies is considered a secondary effect.
X-rays, BTW, are why the WTC yielded so much molten steel for months and months after the collapse of both buildings. They were taken down by small nukes.
I lived through the NYC dot-com boom (and was 1/2 block away from 9/11l the 2nd plane literally flew over my head) and managed to come out without having bought Netscape or Yahoo or getting rich like some of my friends did. NYC taught me what a monetary speculative feeding frenzy looked like. After 9/11 my GF didn't want my jobless ass anymore so I ended up buying a truck (cheaper than renting a U-haul) and driving back up to Canada.
From there I vowed never to miss another "wave" again. I knew that unlike Ben Franklin or Isaac Newton (tulip bubble) I would see more waves in my lifetime, that they'd come super much faster. I bought $80k of BTC in 2014. You can do the math from there. I am 55, I retired at 49 years old and I don't miss working or having a job at all, not one bit.
Yeah, 143 is decent, pretty high, but I don't ever pat myself on the back for it. God lumped all my intelligence in one or two categories. I feel like I'm hardly well-rounded (in terms of EQ or social skills), just really majorly lop-sided. I'm a ninja at 90 things and absolutely shite at so many things that count. That said, I do decent at making high quality (sometimes even world famous) friends. Excellence recognizes excellence. I'm going back to Egypt here in a few weeks to participate in some archaeological digs and basically forget my life as I know it now.

You've been asked for advice by a president??? Nice!!!
It's great to have our large cranium frogs around!
Dude, NOOOOO none of your archive links resolve for me. Any tips?
In 9th grade I scored 143 on a professionally-administered IQ test but I failed one part, I'm not good at some forms of logic
I'm retired, too.
