Zombie Squad

I love snakes! I think they are fascinating. I’m always looking for them. Last April I caught one at work. We went out to the patio dining area that faces an artificial pond and about 200 m further out an oak forest. Underneath the table I saw what I thought was a rubber snake meant to keep away bir...

Seven years later I found this movie after an article on ScreenRant that said it was made for $6000. What a delightfully original take on the zombie apocalypse.

No this is an about that college student who spent his spring break in Libya fighting with the rebels. Amazon prime has bundled together eight 1-hour movies under the heading World War II Saturday Matinees. This is the third movie in the collection. It is stupid and funny. In the beginning of The Th...

This very unique movie stars Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver. It was directed by Walter Hill, who some of you might know from the Warriors and 48 hours. I did not research the movie in advance and the way they produced it made me swear it was a comic book adaptation. In fact the freeze frame...

I was such a nerd in high school that I actually cut class to sit in my car and read The Stand.

Buried underneath this pastiche of Myth Busters, absent the scientific inquiry, and red-neck cliches that make Larry the Cable Guy seem like Sir John Gielgud are a few nuggetS of useful information. The action takes place at Battlebox Ranch, where they seem to test and curate products to mail their ...

You don't need no stinkin' buckets for container gardening. CanYAlove.org has tons of great ideas from sack gardens, to vericle growing cyclinder and hanging gardens of non-Babylonian water bottles.

Here are some images:

I finally set up a dart board in the basement after it sitting in its box for 10 years. Turns out it is a Michael Graves collectible worth about $500. Now I feel like a Vanderbilt when I throw darts. Other projects are making synthetic hammock under quilts for kids, and low cost trekking pole from l...

Greeting fellow preparatory enthusiasts, I received a letter warning me the hail season was starting in my region (mid Atlantic) and did I know that most people still pay out $1500 in deductions following a disaster. To their credit, they didn’t try to sell me anything directly, but provided a link ...

Despite filing my 2018 return electronically, I have not received my stimulus check.

I purchased 12 3X fresnel lenses. One for each member of the family, one for each of our camping boxes.

Bought them on e-bay for less than $9, shipping included. This is the item: https://www.ebay.com/itm/283845623170?V ... 3845623170

As a Public Affairs professional, I agree that there is very little targeting risk. The three letters sound nice and discrete. If you want a compromise, you can place the three letters above a simple bullseye (think Target logo). If anyone asks, say "It's a marksmanship club, I once thought I could ...

Not into digging up old threads for kicks, but the interwebz served this up while I was researching a tiny home that sleeps six. https://www.waterfreedomsystem.com/index_cb_v2_faq_short.html?hop=mike4aubs The pitch pushes every paranoia button from climate change to government tyranny. From what I’v...

My oldest son and I binged on the first three episodes, free on the Roku channel. Really enjoyed it. They avoided several typical tropes which really kicked it up in several notches in my book.

I live next to LAX. The disease portal of the entire US. So I am concerned about these things. I don't know how many thousands of people cycle thru our town to and from the airport in a given day. But it's a lot. And they are from every corner of the earth. I haven't read this entire thread. But I ...

CDC now officially warning Americans to prepare for likely CoVid-19 outbreak in U.S.: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/25/world/asia/coronavirus-news.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage “It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen in this country any more but a question ...

I’m looking at eliminating discretionary spending and setting up a cash reserve to cover our expenses for at least two weeks. I work as a contractor at a very large government agency located near the beltway, with almost 5000 people in the building, we would be a prime location to be shut down to br...

This is a Korean language Amazon Prime movie. Given current events, I thought it would make an interesting movie. It begins as a solid disaster movie/public service announcement about a flu outbreak. Then it become more and more lurid with people making some seriously bad decisions. However, given w...

Just heard a phone conversation between a Chinese investigator and a female employee at one of the 7 crematoria in Wuhan. Man I had no idea women could curse like that. Apparently this particular crematorium has been so busy lately that their staff of 110 has barely had a chance to sleep. She said ...

Good evening, Tencent is not $.50 little brother but a Chinese news website. An article from Taiwan, in English, was circulating through the open source analysts at work. It claims that the Tencent website accidentally posted accurate coronavirus numbers before taking them down. They also point out ...

Those are all excellent questions to be asking. The image I saw was taken earlier on 10 February. The area over Wuhan was off the scale gray. One possible explanation is 10 February was the end of the extended Chinese new year. As a result if people were going back to work in the manufacturing secto...

Good evening, somebody at work shared an image from the website windy.com which purports to show sulfur dioxide, that is SO2, over China. There are massive spikes over Wuhan and Chong Ching two cities that used to have high speed rail connections five times a day. Because I just got to my phone and ...
