People say parental leave is stressful but it’s actually very easy: sleep even the baby sleeps; do the dishes when the baby does the dishes.

6/e A partial, but most complete index of docs from DOE/NNSA, is available here: osf.io/dcxmj "NNSA Number" on far left is the "RRxxxxx" number so you can search for documents on OSF using RR + the 5 digit NNSA number in the unsorted Part I directory (you'll see): osf.io/46sfd/files/...
A screen cap of a document divided into 6 vertical cells and 11 horizontal cells which are numbered "00085" through "00096." The second vertical cell is empty for all spaces. The third vertical cell lists document names beginning with "Tunnel Damage from Ground Shock" and ending with "Historical Documents undergoing classification review." The fourth vertical cell has months in it and the fifth vertical cell has years whose range is from 1951 through 1999 and the last vertical cell as "National Nuclear Security Administration" in all spaces.

OTD 65 yrs ago, the cockpit of a B-52F on a 24-hour COVERALL airborne alert mission overheated an hour after takeoff (up to 160F). After ~14 hours, the exhausted crew depressurized and descended to 12,000 feet, increasing fuel consumption. Fuel ran out 8+ hours later, leading to a bailout and crash.
