If you do be sure to get the correct one for you. Different sizes and thickness, it makes a difference, no lie wife and I love them. If they start to lose their fluff, throw it in the dryer on high for 15 mins, like new.
 
If you guys want good Intel on current events. Y’all should check into Truth seekers 88 and also phil godlewski 2.0 on telegram they go live sometimes and really share good stuff involving current happenings

I’ve always laid it all out and been as honest as to what I believe as possible. I just know things will change for the better soon

I was thumbing through You Tube watching documentaries on Nuclear bombs. Test videos from 50s, 60s. We dropped 2 on Fay, Goldsboro area before plane carrying them went down, mechanical issues. Luckily they landed with parachutes, didnt explode

I actually read about that in depth fairly recently. In the early 60's, a B-52 with two atomic bombs crashed just north of Goldsboro in a rural area. One ended up stuck in a tree because of the parachute.

I believe the 2nd one's parachute failed to deploy for whatever reason, and the dang thing dropped straight down about 20 ft in the ground. (Apparently in a near swampy area) And not only did it sink down--it's still there to this day! The military (or whomever--government) decided it was safer to leave it there rather than risk salvaging it. Supposedly they did tests on radiation levels, but said they have never found any anomalies in groundwater. Also, the US government purchased the small sliver of land this one landed. It's literally on some random farmland in Wayne county.

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, ain't it?
 
I love how the Ukraine thread has outed certain members of this board as...how should I gently put it....nuts. I'm probably an outlier here as slightly left of center and an atheist, but I am usually tolerant of other's beliefs. Some of yall are putting me to the test though.

I do wish sources posted on the main Ukraine thread were better vetted by the mods. Citing far-right news sources as fact does not help the discussion. Twitter posts are understandably more difficult to vet.

According to reports 5 of the 6 safeties tripped on the one.....and these were thermonuclear hydrogen bombs ( so almost 4 megatons) not atomic bombs....

"Two Mark 39 nuclear bombs were carried by a B-52 Stratofortress that broke up in the air and crashed near Goldsboro, North Carolina on January 24, 1961. According to Parker F. Jones, a supervisor of nuclear safety at Sandia National Laboratories, in a 1969 report that was declassified in 2013, the Mark 39 bomb had four safety mechanisms, one of which was not effective in the air. On one of the bombs involved, two more safety mechanisms were "rendered ineffective by aircraft breakup." As a result, that bomb nearly detonated, and a catastrophic nuclear burst was prevented only by the fourth mechanism, a simple "ready-safe" electric switch"
