Just in case

[suityou01]

Major population centres and army bases in western Europe are unlikely to be targets in a regional conflict between India & Pakistan. However such a conflict would still result in crops failing globally

But why? A localised conflict is just that, Shirley? Or are you saying the weather patterns will be disrupted globally in a massive nuclear winter that lasts for more than 12 months?

You have forgotten bread. You can't make beans on toast without bread. I think you might need some vitamin pills as well, I'm not convinced 10 years of beans constitutes a balanced diet.

You would need to take shelf life into account as well:

Shelf Life of Food

I hadf older cans than that in the cupboard older before now. I wonder whether ordinarily inedible foods, such as common grass, might provide vitamins (and fibre). Yeah, you'd want fats, salt, vitamin tables, Geiger counter, etc, too.

F**k it, you've got to die of something.

Drug induced sex heart attack is preferable.

Why? It's not as if you're going to remember it and a heart-attack can be quite painful.

Quietly in your sleep would be more preferable.

Working on another one of those at the moment.

Is this a sideline you've got? Don't you teach or something?

Will it do Alpha, Beta and Gamma?

Those atoms will then decay further into isotopes of elements such as uranium (which is probably what it started as)

I don't think nuclear decay can create something further down the periodic table, and uranium is the start point so everything is down from there.

Nit-picking, the principle is sound.

That is something nurses say to keep families happy. I don’t think that is possible unless you are knocked out by drugs. At some point in the dying process you will need to take your last breath; that action will wake you up because the reflex action by your body will be so intense and painful.
