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.

One last observation to clear something up. There is very little correlation between a nuclear bomb attack and the disaster at Chernobyl. Beyond the fact that nuclear fission is involved in both, almost none. A nuclear reactor almost never can explode. The only reason Chernobyl 4 did is because of extraordinarily dangerous construction and a staggeringly long list of blatant procedural violations. The explosion of Chernobyl 4 was essentially a dirty bomb, thus the radiation fallout and spread is vastly different and cannot be an indication of what you could expect after a nuclear weapon detonation. It is, on the other hand, very informative as to how a dirty bomb attack might work, although any dirty bomb could not possibly match the scale, and wouldn't involve the many extra complications of the vast amount of unspent fuel that is now out of the reactor.
Would commercial nuclear reactors be considered prime targets in a retaliatory strike by Boomer subs after an initial confrontation? I mean it's probably safe to say any nuclear reactor sitting within the primary blast radius of a high yield thermonuclear device would probably not end up going nuclear, but it might be damaged enough to become a pretty big source of radiation.
