Small reddit pages are the best, but yeah front page reddit seems like a lot of political/corporate content

Temp has an effect on all batteries. Wouldn’t hurt. And keeping it dry will keep metal parts from rusting as quickly

I like X.com only because I like X-Com

10 goblins gobbling

Yeah I did! I’m hoping my library get the book. Hell I might buy it, read it and donate it after

If a nuclear missile is launched at the United States the President has just 6 minutes to come to terms with that and decide to launch a counter attack or not.

If that counter attack is headed to North Korea, any land based missiles will head over the arctic circle, over Russian airspace where similar shoot/no shoot decisions will have to be made in a similar timeframe.

It depends on what you want. I’ll look on kiwix right now.

Yeah that feeling hit me hard when I was playing with web SDRs. To keep it simple and not boring people can set up an antenna, hook it to a computer and you can go to their website to remotely listen to anything the antenna can hear. A univeristy in the Netherlands has one set up. You can hear regular radio, cell tower data, morse code, you name it.

So I was able to listen to a Cuban propaganda broadcast, that somehow skipped between the ocean and atmosphere just right to get picked up by that antenna, turning into digital data sent through their website, going through cables under the ocean to my isp, through wifi, to me in near real time. Bonkers.

OpenStreetMap and their editors are great and I use them a lot, but if you really want to have great flexibility with your map design QGIS is Open Source

Here’s a video on how to use it

You can use CalTopo’s print pdf to print that OSM data too

get your common sense and logic out of here lol

I imagine that’s only if you market it as drugs.

“Hey you got the good drugs?” “Yeah here”

But what if you played the long con, started…say a salt distribution ring. Have a run down house full of it, sell it in baggies, make it look as suspicious as possible only for them to do stakeouts, get informants in there, just to find you are not doing anything illegal at all, it just has all the signs without the actual law breaking. If you call it salt they’ll probably think it’s a code name for a drug

“Hey you got the good salt?” “Yeah here”

goes back to the police lab

“wtf? It’s just salt?”

Then they would just think the informant got compromised and have to raid the house lol

Follower? Fan? Enjoyer? lol

I don’t have a 3D printer but if I did I would try to keep it in a basement or garage, or at least keep a window open

It’s called 10 tap. So quickly half press (not clicking) the button 10 times, then press and hold. It goes to the next mode preset.

For normal use clicking the button is the first mode (low) and half press then click for the second (high)

like this (skip about halfway)

My go to light for work is a Streamlight Protac 2L-X. It has a few modes to set it up how you prefer. Plain bright. Low, bright. Bright, strobe. Rechargable 18650 but you have to take the battery out to plug a usb into it but it lasts a loong time between charges so I don’t mind

Strobe is great for raves, self defense and epilepsy tests! (jk)

China’s entire history is coming together and breaking apart over and over. Australia has a lot of land but the vast majority is unpopulated.

I think the difference is size. The US has states the size of European countries. Getting a country/state to pull together is a lot easier than the whole EU/US because the culture and goals are similar. Right now the Carolinas are pulling together to deal with flooding and Florida is dealing with a rocking hurricane season.

But I agree with another comment that the real divides would be city vs rural.

Cities tend to think that government is the main answer to problems since their lives are surrounded by roads and buildings and public transport and people have a lot less of their own to work with. You can’t easily have a garden in an apartment for example.

Rural doesn’t have as much government influence since so much focus is spent on the cities. Power outages last longer, stores are few and far between, side roads are often an afterthought and police and fire are 10 min away if you’re lucky. So people use the land and neighbors and have the ability to be mostly self reliant.

So you can see where the divides come from on a lot of subjects
