Technically it's not named that. The Bumble B Soda Shop called it a chocolate shake with extra's.
Whatever, it is extraordinary. From the delight that the proprietors took in making it, to the tastes encountered in devouring it, to the looks we got from passers by. It has a chocolatey shake in the middle, with hand built sides of chocolate brownies, to floating squares of brownies in the shake, to drizzles of caramel and chocolate syrup. I think.
My eyes glazed over about 3/4's of the way through.

Crockpot Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients
2 cups (500ml) barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (optional for a hint of spice)
2 kg (4 pounds) baby back pork ribs
Salt , to taste
Instructions
Spray inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
Remove inner skin (membrane) from ribs and place ribs in slow cooker. Discard skin.
Combine bbq sauce, brown sugar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Mix well to combine and completely cover with half of the sauce.
Season with a good amount of salt and pepper; cover with lid and cook on low setting for 7-9 hours or high setting for 3-5 hours *see notes. Refrigerate remaining sauce to use later.
When ribs are tender and falling apart, transfer onto an oven tray (or baking sheet), lined with parchment paper. (Lift them carefully as the meat will be very tender and falling off the bone).
Pour half of the juices from the slow cooker bowl into the remaining sauce. Baste ribs with half of the sauce and broil (grill) in preheated oven at 400°F (220°C) for about 10 minutes or until beginning to char and crisp on the edges.
Serve ribs with remaining sauce.
Recipe Notes
Cook times depend on the results you are looking for:
LOW: 7 HOURS / HIGH: 3 HOURS — Ribs that are soft but stay on the bone (as shown in the video in post).
LOW: 9 HOURS / HIGH: 4-5 HOURS — Tender, fall apart ribs that melt in your mouth like butter (as shown in the images in post).

The Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named for Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets, who selected the aircraft while it was still on the assembly line. On 6 August 1945, during the final stages of World War II, it became the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb. The bomb, code-named "Little Boy", was targeted at the city of Hiroshima, Japan, and caused unprecedented destruction. Enola Gay participated in the second atomic attack as the weather reconnaissance aircraft for the primary target of Kokura. Clouds and drifting smoke resulted in Nagasaki being bombed instead.

It's been on my must-visit list for years, but owing to my recent obsession with building Dr. Strangelove-style control panels, my need became more pressing. So at last, I made the pilgrimage to The Black Hole, a remarkable place in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Run by a former Los Alamos National Laboratory employee named Ed Grothus, The Black Hole is an improbable combination military surplus outlet, pacifist shrine, and "museum of nuclear waste."
Ed was on hand when I stopped by, so I had the opportunity to talk with him, watch his presentation on the perils of atomic warfare, learn about his plans to erect a pair of "Rosetta Stones for the Nuclear Age" in Los Alamos, and, of course, wander the aisles.
Feel free to do the same, via the entire "Black Hole" photoset.

I learned something about cost-creep today that hopefully will benefit you. Don Miguel The Bomb Spicy Red Hot Beef & Bean Burrito is a favorite of mine—available in lots of 12 at my local Costco Business Center. When I first found them, some years ago, a case could be bought for $18.99 or $1.58 per 14-ounce burrito. Later, the price rose to $19.99 before quickly going up to $20.99 and finally $21.99 during the tightest SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2)/COVID-19 lockdowns. That’s $1.67, $1.75, and $1.83 per package, respectively.
After nearly exhausting a somewhat stocked supply, I returned with my wife to the warehouse store for more. My mistake: I did not closely inspect the box. Price is higher now: $22.49 for that dozen-filled case. But that 50 cents more is for less. The Bomb now is 12 ounces, a decrease of 14 percent in size for a burrito costing $1.87—15 cents per ounce versus 13 cents previously or 11 cents from what I paid about three years ago; maybe four, I don’t rightly recall.
Hidden price increases in smaller sizes are common enough but they’re on the rise in these inflationary times. Wait, is that an oxymoron? Inflation being deflation when consumers pay more because manufacturers sell less ounces per unit?
But there’s more to that 2-ounce deflation. Don Miguel also changed the recipe, which I can attest to from eating experience this evening. The nutritional information on the label reveals some of the impact. There are now 6 sugars per 12-ounce burrito versus two for the 14-ouncer; and, whoa, I feel the effects, too. If not for being excited that The Bomb was in stock, disgruntled at seeing the price increase, and fooled by the same-size box, I might otherwise have taken an extra minute to ensure that nothing has changed. Because I have encountered other products where, whether or not the unit size decreased, the recipe changed—and the nutritional info along with it.
Had I taken an extra 60 seconds to look at the label, the box would have returned to the freezer for some other unlucky buyer. The new recipe doesn’t much appeal to me, making my regret all the greater.
So, remember, check the unit size, nutritional label, and ingredient list—at least the first two. For example, one pasta sauce that we buy is same size and price but the recipe modified to include tomato juice, which increases the grams of sugar. With supply chains still disrupted and manufacturers’ costs of some ingredients increasing, recipe modifications could be more common. Especially watch for more—what Annie and I call—the secret ingredient: sugar.

august 6, 1945
contrary to the 1923 hague convention concerning the rules of aerial warfare wich make it expressly illegal to bomb civilians and their property and prohibits the use of bombing for the puposes of terrorizing civilians, the united states of america drop an atomic bomb on the japanese city of hiroshima.
a non military target.
resulting in the death of an estimated 100,000 persons.
three days later, another 50'000 or more people are annialated when the united states of america drops a second bomb on the civilian population of nagasaki.
it is formerly declared that these actions were undertaken to avoid invasion of the japanese mainlandand could potentialy avoid the loss of a half million americans and perhaps 3 times as many japanse.
even though japan had been attempting to reconcile the terms of surrender months prior to the bombing.

For the Panel
June 16, 1945
You have asked us to comment on the initial use of the new weapon. This use, in our opinion, should be such as to promote a satisfactory adjustment of our international relations. At the same time, we recognize our obligation to our nation to use the weapons to help save American lives in the Japanese war.
(1) To accomplish these ends we recommend that before the weapons are used not only Britain, but also Russia, France, and China be advised that we have made considerable progress in our work on atomic weapons, that these may be ready to use during the present war, and that we would welcome suggestions as to how we can cooperate in making this development contribute to improved international relations.
(2) The opinions of our scientific colleagues on the initial use of these weapons are not unanimous: they range from the proposal of a purely technical demonstration to that of the military application best designed to induce surrender. Those who advocate a purely technical demonstration would wish to outlaw the use of atomic weapons, and have feared that if we use the weapons now our position in future negotiations will be prejudiced. Others emphasize the opportunity of saving American lives by immediate military use, and believe that such use will improve the international prospects, in that they are more concerned with the prevention of war than with the elimination of this specific weapon. We find ourselves closer to these latter views; we can propose no technical demonstration likely to bring an end to the war; we see no acceptable alternative to direct military use.
(3) With regard to these general aspects of the use of atomic energy, it is clear that we, as scientific men, have no proprietary rights. It is true that we are among the few citizens who have had occasion to give thoughtful consideration to these problems during the past few years. We have, however, no claim to special competence in solving the political, social, and military problems which are presented by the advent of atomic power

MEMORANDUM ON THE USE OF S-1 BOMB:
Ever since I have been in touch with this program I have had a feeling that before the bomb is actually used against Japan that Japan should have some preliminary warning for say two or three days in advance of use. The position of the United States as a great humanitarian nation and the fair play attitude of our people generally is responsible in the main for this feeling.
During recent weeks I have also had the feeling very definitely that the Japanese government may be searching for some opportunity which they could use as a medium of surrender. Following the three-power conference emissaries from this country could contact representatives from Japan somewhere on the China Coast and make representations with regard to Russia's position and at the same time give them some information regarding the proposed use of atomic power, together with whatever assurances the President might care to make with regard to the Emperor of Japan and the treatment of the Japanese nation following unconditional surrender. It seems quite possible to me that this presents the opportunity which the Japanese are looking for.
I don't see that we have anything in particular to lose in following such a program. The stakes are so tremendous that it is my opinion very real consideration should be given to some plan of this kind. I do not believe under present circumstances existing that there is anyone in this country whose evaluation of the chances of the success of such a program is worth a great deal. The only way to find out is to try it out.

The written order for the use of the atomic bomb against Japanese cities was drafted by General Groves. President Truman and Secretary of War Stimson approved the order at Potsdam.
The order made no mention of targetting military objectives or sparing civilians. The cities themselves were the targets. The order was also open-ended. "Additional bombs" could be dropped "as soon as made ready by the project staff."

“Intelligence in the service of insanity” | As a whole, the route we’ve chosen is closing us off from one another and thus making everyone fearful of their neighbor. We now have the ability to rid ourselves of the very host that takes care of us. If there’s one thing that has been consistent through mankind, we always figure out how to get rid of ourselves.

THE IRAN PLANS
by SEYMOUR M. HERSH
Excerpt from article in The New Yorker, THE IRAN PLANS
by SEYMOUR M. HERSH:
"The attention given to the nuclear option [in attacking Iran] has created serious misgivings inside the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he added, and some officers have talked about resigning. Late this winter, the Joint Chiefs of Staff sought to remove the nuclear option from the evolving war plans for Iran—without success, the former intelligence official said. “The White House said, ‘Why are you challenging this? The option came from you.’ ”
"The Pentagon adviser on the war on terror confirmed that some in the Administration were looking seriously at this option, which he linked to a resurgence of interest in tactical nuclear weapons among Pentagon civilians and in policy circles. He called it “a juggernaut that has to be stopped.” He also confirmed that some senior officers and officials were considering resigning over the issue. “There are very strong sentiments within the military against brandishing nuclear weapons against other countries,” the adviser told me. “This goes to high levels.” The matter may soon reach a decisive point, he said, because the Joint Chiefs had agreed to give President Bush a formal recommendation stating that they are strongly opposed to considering the nuclear option for Iran. “The internal debate on this has hardened in recent weeks,” the adviser said. “And, if senior Pentagon officers express their opposition to the use of offensive nuclear weapons, then it will never happen.
"The adviser added, however, that the idea of using tactical nuclear weapons in such situations has gained support from the Defense Science Board, an advisory panel whose members are selected by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. “They’re telling the Pentagon that we can build the B61 with more blast and less radiation,” he said."
