We recently made a small change to our coffee routine that has turned out more
helpful than I expected. During a recent shopping trip our big box store was out
of the big bags of Starbucks French Roast coffee beans, so we got some house
blend. Not surprisingly, the coffee tasted a bit less robust at first. But I it
was a surprise that I was able to adjust so quickly, as it tastes perfectly fine
to me now. So I'm viewing this as good news, because I was used to finding
coffee other than my own less satisfying too. But now that I've made my
adjustment, this will go a lot better for me. I'm sure I'll still prefer my own
over the coffee most places make, but I expect to like coffee on the go a lot
better now.

Depending on how a nuke is detonated determines wether or not the land beneath it becomes a hopelessly irradiated wasteland for millenia. If you travel to Hiroshima and Nagasaki today you will find thriving, beautiful cities even though both cities were devastated by nuclear fire only 70 years ago. Just an FYI.
But, and there always is one, the yields of Fat Man and Little Boy were positively tiny compared to the yields of today. Little Boy had a 15 kiloton warhead and Fat Man had a 21 kiloton warhead. A modern Trident II Mk 5 bears 475kt and that's just one SLBM. If a modern SLBM were to have hit Nagasaki and Hiroshima, they would still have a 100 mile wide exclusion zone to this day and probably for several centuries to come.
That's not including the Minuteman III ICBM with its 10 MIRV warheads at 475kt for each MIRV warhead.
