I’d like to see the paper version. Obviously there is bit of formatting differences.

I asked if anyone could find the article shown in pic of McConnell. So far no luck. Even if the text is illegible, the cadence would be easy to match.

And the oil industry. Also, nobody wanted to spend the money to build EV infrastructure.

That’s humans. Those are human constructs.

Thanks Reagan.

Privatizing health care and tying it to our employment did it first. Bend the knee to your employer because if you lose your job you lose your medical.

There is no recovery after actual apocalypse unless you are fully capable of maintaining an essentially fully off-grid village full of the skills, tools, and stock needed in pre-1850-ish America. If actual supply chain collapse occurs there is nothing left to restart modern civilization once all the people with knowledge and skill starve and the ability to replace parts vanishes thanks to global manufacturing and resource extraction being so compartmentalized. Digital media will become difficult if not impossible to access, and picking up books to learn how to live after it’s already collapsed will also be difficult as libraries are few and far between, and even those will have a limited how-to section for a manual skill survival society.

Being able to sustain oneself safely after an acute natural disaster is the goal.

Used to watch the heck out of these while I was playing Tie Fighter on PC.

If the “apocalypse” happens it would be more appropriate to be concerned with food growing and preservation and not USB devices (other than maybe flashlights or shortwave/Ham radio) or other electronics that have no real purpose.

As far as longer-term power outages go these power banks aren’t too bad, but you gotta consider the food situation again and keeping it safe to eat. A rotating set of banks and a good peltier cooler will help keeping some food cool, but not cold enough for long term. I’m sure you have water filters, chlorine tabs, etc. to keep drinking water safe.

Thanks for this. I have an original ‘80s VHS copy, but it’s not in the best shape. I’ve been wanting a decent un-fucked-with copy of the original for a long time.

Absolutely this, and why they’re fine with executing innocent people on death row, cops killing people who were running away or complying and not a threat, or some DA imprisoning someone for decades on crappy evidence only to be found innocent after half their life is gone.

I would say detrimental to game quality.

The odds of someone attacking my tv via the internet are as close to zero that “never gonna happen” is just about right. If it did happen, it would be because they went via the server maintainer for the firmware to attack all the TVs, and if they did that then an updated firmware would just as likely be a culprit.
