Every single time I look at photos of a solid protein-style double-double, it physically hurts. I used to live out west and got spoiled by having it down the street, but out here in Nebraska, we are in an absolute In-N-Out desert.
Idk who I have to bribe at corporate compliance or expansion planning to get a location built here, but the Midwest is ready. Until then, I guess I'll just stare at my camera roll and dream about spread and chilies.
It’s short, relatable, and lets you vent about the struggle of being stuck in a region without a proper Double-Double. Go ahead and drop it in there—the West Coast crowd will definitely validate the craving!

I've been reading about the targeting committee for the atomic bombs in 1945, and Kyoto was originally at the very top of the list because of its size and population. However, Secretary of War Henry Stimson personally intervened to remove it, replacing it with Nagasaki.

There is a popular internet rumor that he did it purely because he went on his honeymoon there, but serious historians seem to point to deeper geopolitical and cultural reasons. Stimson argued that destroying Japan's ancient cultural and religious capital would embitter the Japanese population so deeply that it would make postwar reconciliation and governing impossible, potentially throwing the region into the arms of the Soviet Union.

I'm trying to better understand the strategic vs. personal motivations behind his decision.
