Welcome, in a fashion, to/back to Zombie Squad. Yes, it's been a hell of a year. No time like the present (quite literally) to participate more in these forums.

Congrats and welcome back! How did you prep for your Technician's exam?

<Beaucoup additional information> Thank you; that's super helpful. I did learn about the two separate heater elements and sacrificial anode from the YT videos I watched. What I actually bought was a HW tune up kit that includes two new heating elements and replacement upper and lower thermostats. A...

File under but, of course : From NPR : Meet 'Spot:' The Robot That Could Help Doctors Remotely Treat COVID-19 Patients [Coldly rational robotic voice] Good morning patient 62B-71 - "Cynthia". How are we doing today? Not well I am afraid. I have run your positive COVID -19 diagnosis, continued eleva...

post written back in 2015 and shows the exact truth of nowadays situation. although, in man made category there's no "virus" and that's a mistake. Thanks, i'll add that to the list. Wait. So we've established the novel coronavirus is man made? I thought that was as of yet an unproven theory and tha...

If a new anode buys me another year or two it'll be worth it. Honestly at this point during the shelter in, I'm looking for projects with a high glory ratio (low effort/high payoff). Thanks again. As always, ZS is a veritable font of good information.

I'm on well water and noticed one evening that the water pump had been running constantly for longer than usual. Went down to the basement and found water pouring from my electric water heater. RIpped off the insulating jacket and discovered a badly corroded component hanging loose from a threaded o...

When I first read the title of the article MPMalloy linked to, I thought: "Well, duh ." But the gist of that article is more subtle than that. “We have built our systems around what we can handle instead of what might occur.” This touches on a similar point I brought up in passing a couple of weeks ...

3 family members with COVID in Oklahoma

1 active, 1 recovered, 1 died this afternoon

Seriously? I am so sorry Ever.

A shame it was never offered in AWD, As mentioned; the vast majority were AWD, its actually quite rare to happen across a 2wd one. The single biggest impediment to softroading is the fuel tank, which is dead center between the axles and the lowest point on the whole car :lol: It has an impressive s...

I've lurked for years and only post sporadically. When I do participate, though, I've never regretted it. Glad to see new traffic, new ideas, and like-minded folks! Also, silver lining...there's nothing like a crisis to convince your non-prepper friends that you aren't totally nuts. I just wish it ...

Outstanding post. A lot of very creative ideas there. The twin bed roof cargo carrier is brilliant. What kind of jerry cans are those? Are they metal or polymer? Also, can you link to exactly what twin bed frame you used? Something like that might work well on my Kia Soul. I always thought highly of...

I think I'm going to have a custom flag made for my flagpole. Just have them screen print an image on it to make it look like a giant mask, attach green ribbons to each corner like ties and run it up beneath the Stars & Stripes on my flagpole as a reminder to people to "mask up". "Mask up and carry...

Maine 4/3/20. 432 cases, 9 dead, 75 hospitalized, 113 recovered (including my close friend, praise be). Day two of our statewide mandatory stay at home order. Which means the second day in a row I didn't go to the store on an invented excuse just to break up the stultifying monotony of being single ...

I found this and I'm running with it. I have no way of vaporizing hydrogen peroxide, but thoroughly dampening a mask with it and leaving it to dry out overnight has to have some disinfecting effect. Not trying to burst your bubble here but I'd hate to see you get sick because of reliance on faulty ...

Hey Everybody. I'm not any sort of pro, but when I hear about reusing masks & such, I shudder quite uncomfortably. Again, I'm not a professional. I have something like a 1/2 balaclava that I can wear. I'll probably order one of those Etsy masks or something off of (shudder) Amazon. :? I found this ...

I made three masks today of my own design. I use material cut from HEPA vacuum cleaner bags, :words: How was the breathability? Even with N-95 masks which are designed to 95 % effective while still providing easier breathing , I still notice how much more difficult breathing is through them. I just...

I made three masks today of my own design. I use material cut from HEPA vacuum cleaner bags, cut into 6.5" by 9.5" rectangles. I open up a small paper clip (so it forms a very elongated sideways "S") and hot glue that at the center of one of the 9.5" sides. Then I hot glue 16" sections of elastic tr...

Maine 3/31/20. 303 confirmed cases, 5 deaths. Our governor announced an executive order this afternoon mandating all residents (and visitors) shelter in place effective 12:01am Thursday. Travel outside of homes will be prohibited except for grocery shopping, medical care, buying medications, providi...
