Zombie Squad

I really like the technical writing style and can see how these "Cicadia" auditory distraction devices could be an interesting addition to a larger story. But for this short vignette, it would have been more interesting if one of the test cases, while generating useful data, ended tragically when on...

Unless you are immunocompromised or a fetus, all T. gondii will do is give you flu symptoms. Stop trying to spread panic.

Yeah, but if all of the sudden I developed a cat urine fetish, I'd want to know why.

Ophiocordyceps is real and it's creepy as all f*ck. It's also the scientific underpinning of two of my favorite additions to fictional zombie lore: the fantastic video game The Last of Us , and the outstanding novel (and pretty darn decent movie adaptation) The Girl With All The Gifts . https://www....

So you're saying that the way to avoid ending up in a Wallyworld refugee camp is to drink pee?

Welcome to Zombiesquad (officially). ZS chapters have gone pretty dark in recent years, but perhaps there's an odd active chapter out there near you.
Or alternatively, you could be the one to make a derelict chapter rise from the dead!

Hey... it worked for Walking dead I actually enjoyed the first couple seasons. It is sad when writers fall blindly in love with their characters. It did work for the first few seasons. The early seasons of TWD were some of the best TV I have seen. I'll back you up on that. I really enjoyed the firs...

I always enjoy Emily's military ration reviews. She comes at it from a distinctly civilian perspective. You quickly pick up hints however that this isn't her first MRE rodeo. But she still doesn't understand how the pull apart seal works on US MREs. Plus she's adorable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

An interesting concept, I'll give them that.

"One is None", or "All Eggs in One Basket" is the problem. Not having alternatives in place is a pretty serious issue, when electricity is running our water pumps, refrigerators, bank card transactions, traffic lights, healthcare equipment. Either that or start burying power lines where high winds ...

Eat more beans.

Anyway if you want to learn from my mistake I recommend putting a liner in tanks of your bikes and ATVs with metal tanks. Draining them won't stop the rust. There seems to be two schools of thought regarding fuel tanks and long term storage. Completely draining is one of them. I've always topped of...

You're talking about going "grey man" with an inconspicuous, low visual profile pack. I applaud you for thinking along those lines. A three-day pack would definitely put you towards the top end of your 20L to 40L range. And it'll be hard to get anything around 35L to 40L for under $50 that isn't jun...

Fighting zombies with a melee weapon offers a lot of difficulties. Number one being: you're fighting zombies with a melee weapon. Depending on whose zombie universe you're inhabiting, one has to worry at about disease infection vectors other than a direct zombie bite. :oh: http://www.youtube.com/wat...

In Florida, a threatened hurricane without people losing their minds and mobbing their local local wally world is like a morning without sunshine. It's just the way they do things down there.

Thread necro, I suppose. But the threat's still there and I didn't want to start a duplicate thread. This is an opinion piece to be sure, but still a bit surprising to see it in a media outlet like the New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/21/opinion/supervolcano-yellowstone.html?action=cl...
