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.

No doubt about the challenging conditions.
But life is proving to be more adaptable than expected.
Chornobyl, today:
Bears, wolves, lynx, bison, deer, moose, beavers, foxes, badgers, wild boar, and raccoon dogs (don't ask them about their family), amphibians, fish, worms, and bacteria are some of the species that make a home in the radioactive area.
I am well aware of the fact that most of the inclusion zone of Chernobyl is very habitable to most animals that live there, but it took decades for the area surrounding Chernobyl to recover it's wildlife and it is still not habitable for humans. You have to remember that humans reach sexual maturity much later than most animals, and as such they would be much, much more vulnerable to cancer caused by radiation poisoning, even if they did survive the intervening decades somehow. It's extremely improbable that this would be the case in all but the most remote corners of the earth.
I'm not saying that life on earth wouldn't survive a nuclear war, it survived similar conditions in the past. (Huge asteroid collisions) Humanity however, would be done and done. If someone ever pulled the trigger on this, it's game over in the worst possible way for all of us, and good riddance to us all.
