Zombie Squad

Don't worry, the Brute Squad takes care of the messy bans.

This is tangentially related in that it's related to people in power. In a recent episode of WBUR's Fresh Air, Garrett Graff's book Raven Rock was discussed. The book examines Government plans and programs to preserve itself in the event of various disasters; fascinating stuff.

Thanks to you both, when the cobbler's children are shoeless, the cobbler looks like a jerk. :P It might seem a little cheesy, but one of the coolest things about prepping is the ability to help others and first aid seems to be one of the best opportunities we have for that. Not long after joining Z...

Hey friends... I should probably spend more time on the forums, and plan to, especially in the First Aid section. I've finally got a credential, albeit a basic one. Passed my NREMT-B a couple weeks back and I'm looking forward to some fun interaction and learning some more from the actual medical pr...

Teamwork made the dream work. Raise a tea cup and your majestic finger in victory for me, dude.

Hey dude, please post a price!

I recently picked up a couple new lights, one of which came with a 16340 and the second that uses 18350 IMRs. The light that uses the 18350s (a Nitecore EC11) has crazy output off the single cell. Given how powerful single cell lights have become, I am getting a little worried about over discharging...

Love you all, too.

Hi ZS buddies, The admin team owes you all an apology for the forum email notifications having been broken for so long. You're the life blood of this forum, and you've been pretty patient. We put out heads together and seem to have gotten the notifications working again. Mea culpa! Thanks for being ...

Yeah, that would be me. I'm sorting out some of our email woes. Please bear with us as we try to un-f**k the forum email notifications. Love, -Jeff In the last few hours did an Admin give the Forum a digital enema? I received in one sudden batch 143 (old) notification emails about topics or PMs from...

This forum would be nothing without users. I'm just glad to be along for the ride with you all.

We're still diligently working on what Crypto already mentioned, but I think I've re-enabled image posting.

Thanks for bearing with us during this stuff.

The hotel is right next to the Burj Khalifa, both of which are in Dubai and not Abu Dhabi... though the Burj Khalifa was funded heavily by Emeratis in Abu Dhabi. :) United Arab Emirates is a wealthy nation, but who knows what their building codes are like. When I was in Dubai, I was told that buildi...

I'm a fan of the lock kit I linked to earlier because it includes a neoprene washer, a lock nut, and it's made of steel. It allows one to use a padlock with a shackle diameter up to 9/32 inch / 7mm. If you add another washer and add some silicone gasket sealer, you can be sure the hole you drilled w...

Hi everyone, Lately I've been using some of the "Fat 50" (aka linked 5.56) Ammo cans that I picked from ammocanman.com for a very reasonable price. I clean them, lubricate the seals with Super Lube synthetic grease and install a lock kit in them. I noticed some dinged paint one one and some rust on ...

Actually, I know where those are, seriously.

Opinions are great, we just don't want discussions on political, religious or hate opinions on the ZS forums.

George Carlin once reduced the 10 commandments down to 1 commandment, and colloquially on ZS we try to do the same thing by reducing the rules down to one: "don't be a dick". Put much more simply, "be considerate"; it's that simple. We're fed a diet (or we feed ourselves a diet) of stuff that passes...

The linked 5.56 can is also known as a "fat .50 ammo can". If you care about locking up your magazines, you can add one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Ammo-Box-Lock-Hardware-Count/dp/B00SNOQR6Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431009780&sr=8-1&keywords=ammo+can+lock http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i307/ba...

In terms of the home buying process, I'd familiarize myself as much as possible about the process, especially as it relates to where you live. Do people typically use real estate attorneys or is that handled entirely through an escrow agent? How long does it typically take to close? Are there salari...

Citizen journalists and professional journalists sans crew have some tools available to them to stream live video. Two social media apps launched recently that may make the quiet arrest and (unlawful) detaining of people without access to council harder: Meerkat and Periscope are the apps in questio...

An interesting point about respecting local knife laws, which I wholeheartedly agree that people should. The Christian Science Monitor carried an interesting article on the patchwork of knife laws throughout the US, and juxtaposing selective and perhaps incorrect interpretation/enforcement of these ...

Like crypto, I've had one of these for about 6 years and agree that it's bomb proof. $125 is pretty reasonable if you ask me.
