You are assuming the 'Net will be fully functional and not shut down (for any number of reasons from political to technical) ditto for the PSTN.

Do you have a frail-safe plan for comms out?

Kind of like the times described in "Startship Troopers"

RAH had t knack of describe a possible future that seems to be becoming more like reality,....

Paranoia strikes deep
into your life it will creep....

While I no longer use iodine for water treatment, having a vial of Polar Pure to have a source of iodine is not a bad idea....

Thank goodness they are starting to show up o the Mexican border and coming across - without any health screening....

Is this any surprise for anyone? The two countries have been having problems for a very long time, so with no spares and no qualified tech personnel it was just a matter of time. I wonder if Cuba will send any of their 'experts' to help out? Oh - and the dictator will no doubt claim it is a CIA plot...

The go fund me page makes the guy out to be a regular college student that was guned down. Are there two B Webbers? One a violent gang-banger and the other a regular Joe? In these stories, I always ask - who will profit from the chaos? Who will gain politically? Robert Hienlien wasn't a scifi writer...

I'm reminded of this quote -

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

A Speck on the Sea

another Man vs Nature - in this case, a using kayak.

With a national economy about as stable as a house of cards, massive losses in their ag section (pork fever) and their supply of oil in jeopardy - about all the Chinese can do right now is bluster. Since the US is the CHICOM's largest trading market - the bluster may not last all that long either. O...

I live in a city where cars get broken into all the time, so I can't keep a bag in my car. I have to rely on what I carry on me anytime I leave the house. I have a ThinkGeek Bag of Holding I take everywhere, and I always carry with me my multitool, lighter, flashlight, and one of those metal cards ...

Well, how neat. Just another reason to move to the Golden State.

Given how much power comes into CA from out of State (so they can pollute someone else's backyard) mean long, high power lines running across vast areas of dry bush....

This summer will be interesting for SoCal. Good luck to them

The Baltimore shooting had nothing to do with churches. Nothing. near a church - yes. A closed church that had nothing to do with a BBQ . https://www.wral.com/police-7-shot-1-fatally-in-latest-baltimore-violence/18353379/ At least one person was dead and seven others were injured Sunday following a ...

Now that you've been in Anchorage for a while, what do you think of our little burg?

Don't you really mean "More of Paris is burning"

been an average of three church building a week being set alight for the last while.

That coffee was for Gov't employees to drink on the job...eh?


I would think coffee drinkers would stockpile their own. I keep a fair amount of Freeze dried on hand. You know, just in case.

There is nothing quite like talking up "massive shortages" for just about anything to sell higher prices.... Works for the oil companies, why not farmers. I know some sections of the Midwest have been hit, some pretty hard, but not everyone had losses at the levels seen the Yellow Press. I guess fol...

Looks like a chopped M-151.

Good luck on getting spare parts. For that kind of jack, an ATV is the better long term choice.

Since the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a component of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - i would think she would have armed security. What is possible is also dependent on location - the Tucson sector, for example, is entirely different than SoCal. In A...

"environmental catastrophe," lost me right there....

Also - I thought 'study' was something peer reviewed by professionals or academics.

Still, thanks for thinking of others.
