From the discussion

A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.

Feels weird to talk about the "can neither confirm nor deny" stuff when the website for the Warren AFB and 90th Wing so plainly say that they have and operate ICBMs. https://www.warren.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/ https://www.warren.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Artic...

They drive significantly under the speed limit; of course everyone passes them.

They could sell bumper stickers. "This car passed a Nuklear ICBM"
