HAM will work best for long distance communication but does not have enough capacity to support local short messaging for any major population sizes. Mesh networks scale in bandwidth and will not be overwhelmed as easily if tens of thousands of people suddenly hop on it at the same time.

There is a lot of research on aging repairs, I wonder if I might benefit from it in time.

Depends. Is your income above $500,000?

Agree with the title but downvote for unreliable source website. Here’s the real article they copy pasted from Reuters.

some real [email protected] shit here

Marriott is owned by the Mormon church. I’ll let you fill in the rest of the blanks.

Don’t bring your phone period. Any and all devices can be broken into by law enforcement. Buy a burner with cash if you need some kind of communication.

5d chess? Trump couldn’t play chess on a straight line.

Still not as big of a stain as the one he left on Erika Kirk’s couch last night!

Dried bean mixes and rice can be kept in sealed containers in a cold, dark place for upwards of 5+ years. They are super cheap to buy in bulk. It’s about as close to nutritionally complete as you can get, and only requires boiling water to cook. Dried beans also frequently can be rewetted and sprouted, at least for the first couple years.
Gardening is nice but fresh veggies don’t keep through the dark of winter.

I am especially fond of the soup mixes that North Bay Trading sells. It’s about 4-7$ a pound depending on how much you buy, but it keeps for basically forever, and each pound of beans makes multiple gallons of awesome tasting soup. Sautee up your meat of choice and add it in, it’s great and will not leave you depressed.

With a few acres at your disposal, you have a lot more options. This is drifting out of bulk item territory but it counts.

Learn how to can and get the bulk supplies necessary for it- it doesn’t take much at all to get started. If you are going to have to start living off the land more, canning is critical to surviving winter without suffering from malnutrition. Plus, canned goods are a highly prized barter item.

Get chickens. Chickens are easy to keep, need little space, can be allowed to free-roam around your few acres, and are a great natural pest control. They auto fertilize and aerate your garden, eggs are nutritionally dense for you and can be sold, and chicken meat is a solid protein source. They grow to maturity extremely fast (<6mo) so can produce very quickly from even a small originating flock.

Tools and mechanical knowledge are key. When push comes to shove in rural areas you are going to need to fix all of your own stuff to keep things like electricity, fresh water, heating, your road vehicle, and your farm implements all running. You can outfit yourself with some pretty damn good hand tools at harbor freight for <$150 that will be enough to disassemble an engine, stove, or other house appliance if needed. Start watching youtube videos on basic vehicle/tractor and house appliance maintenance, take notes. Find repair manuals for stuff you own, and buy paper copies of them.

Start collecting spare parts like fuses, electrical wire, common replacement parts for around the house stuff, tractor and car consumables like spark plugs, oil, etc. You don’t realize how dependent you are on the modern industrial supply chain until it is abruptly cut off, and everything around you just stops working in less than 6 months. This won’t last forever of course, but it will least extend the period you can operate normally.

If you have a groundwater well pump on the property and not a public water utility, find an alternative way to get water out of it. Clean water is the key to all life, if you can keep water flowing, you can make everything else work. Grid power can disappear at any time and may or may not ever be restored, so an electric well pump may not be useful. Have someone outfit the well head with a manual hand pump if the well is shallow enough to support it, or have a way to power or replace the electric well pump with a generator or car power.

Stein the Shill is back in cold storage until 2028.

Fascists just love and adore fake appearances. They are all about the propaganda and getting their hardcore base to rally around a common cause. That’s why the Reichstag fire was so effective for Hitler, it was easy to scapegoat the communists and old government and get the base to support the idea of taking complete power.

Sure, trump could just declare martial law and seize everything. But it would be significantly easier and longer lasting if he has a Reichstag fire to rally up a January 6th 2.0.

Well, I imagine you’d expect it to tend to cause rents to go up and house prices to go down if it shifts supply from the rental market to the sales market

Yes and no. Vast majority of rents are largely set by what it takes for an investor to pay the mortgage on the property, whether constructed or purchased. Property values crashing out due to no more institutional investors dumping cash into the market will have a downward pressure on rents overall, eventually.

Winter is a great time to be buying very warm, protective clothing like a balaclava, large winter hats, insulated gloves, and puffy mass produced black jackets!

this will never happen, this was just an announcement to force stocks in large real estate companies to dip so the insiders can make money.

Since Trump will likely put the proceeds of this oil in his personal pockets, this is probably just a payoff from Putin for ruining America’s standing in international defence circles. Putin doesn’t give a rip about a few million barrels of oil in the long run. They’ll rattle sabers publically for a week and then pretend it didn’t happen.

I had at least a few and they never fucking fired right like 95% of the time. The clack of the hammer was louder than the damn cap itself.

Later I got one of those that takes an orange revolver style cap set and they were so much more reliable. Except you ran out of ammo in like 3 seconds and getting a parent to go buy more of those expensive ass refill things was nearly impossible.

Sweet! All of two days of US consumption. This was definitely worth violating another country’s sovereignty and murdering a couple hundred people.

Yes but that’s based on precedent. The current administration gives zero fucks about precedent or logic or anything else. Any convenient excuse will work for them.
