Zombie Squad

Ms Elgarf has got one of the larger UK newspapers to pick up her story: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/14/i-dont-trust-the-government-to-look-after-me-or-my-dog-meet-the-brexit-stockpilers Elgarf is also clear about why she is talking to me. “So come April and there’s no Epilim in the...

My first post in more than a year and yes, I ain't dead yet :-) We might even get a few more members if this sort of story continues in the national press: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/14/i-dont-trust-the-government-to-look-after-me-or-my-dog-meet-the-brexit-stockpilers Apologies fo...

Well, I'm not dead yet!

Sorry, cpmpletely forgot that I'd promised to give this thread an update. They baked OK and tasted as good as they always do

Your storms are making the news here in the UK, which makes a change from the politics

It's being reported that they have hit southern California hardest. That's the bit that was still in drought, IIRC, so hopefully once the immediate effects have passed it will help a bit with that?

The scale of the dam (compared to the construction workers making emergency spillway repairs) is remarkable. This photo shows the erosion of the emergency spillway; the normal spillway can be seen in the background. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/02/16/13/3D4AE03500000578-4231068-image-a-3_1487...

Another year, another lambing

Good luck to both of you, and any other ZSers in a similar situation; remember, it will eventually end!

As an avid follower of this thread I guessed it was going to involved Filipina hookers

And 2017 is still young. It could yet turn out to be merely The First Restaurant Incident of 2017

I see they're now $69.99 plus $5 s&h.

Unfortunately for me Woot don't ship outside the US

(I'm due to be in San Fransisco in a couple of weeks. Wonder if I can order one for delivery to my hotel?)

We were lost in Germany for almost 30 days or so, our new LT decided that he should have the only map since he was a ring knocker and knew everything. Eventually the higher ups had enough and we were found...so to speak. I was wondering how on earth you can get lost in Germany, the most populous co...

That's ... odd.

Maybe there's an essential IC manufacturer who has gone out of business, or discontinued a chip? That happens from time to time.

This story got a mention in the chat thread. I thought it must be somewhere else on the board too :) I'm inclined to agree that the model is weighted heavily in favour of the zombies. (How else are they going to get a convincing apocalypse and the press coverage that goes with it?) You don't take in...

Just spotted this in the news myself. Apparently the shooter has been arrested, uninjured. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38535699 Five people have been shot dead by a gunman at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida, say officials. It happened at the baggage claim area in Terminal 2, just be...

The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: From Marathon to Waterloo (250 pages) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXHDXSP/ This one is still free if (like me) you missed it yesterday :D Not strictly related to prepping, but as I'm here I thought I'd share this handful of free Kindle classics with you: ...

I'll second the suggestion of a laptop bag.

If you think a laptop bag is too small, pilot bags are larger but there's a smaller range on the market and prices are generally higher (although your $200 budget should give you a reasonable choice).

I'm pretty sure I've said this before but I do love your AAR photos

It's warm(ish) but wet(tish) here, and I've not been out for a run for a week. I'm going to have to find an hour or two tomorrow.

CAST IRON COOKBOOK: Vol.1 Breakfast Recipes (103 pages) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OKZVMVC/ This one's still free today :) Also, I apologise for not yet having found time to read and review The Evil Klown Survival Guide . We've had a home improvement project develop earlier than scheduled and tha...

There are reports in reliable places that the suspect has been shot dead in Italy. Berlin attack suspect Anis Amri killed in Milan http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38415287 The Berlin market attack suspect Anis Amri has been shot dead by police in Milan, Italy's interior minister says.

Found in the back of the pantry. Best if purchased by December 2015. What to do? It's Branston pickle. It'll be fine.

I'm not entirely sure this fits into this thread, but I'm hoping it won't deserve a thread of its own. It's reported that Turkish troops fighting IS in northern Syria have been bombed by Syrian aircraft. Casualties are reported as three dead, ten wounded. Airstrike Kills 3 Turkish Soldiers in Northe...

I'm not expecting Nicaragua to get away as lightly as New Zealand and Japan did.

Is it just confirmation bias or have we seen more big quakes this year than usual?

On top of all the other "earthquakes" of 2016, that it.

Product : Kiwi fruit, store brand Best Before Date : 23rd September Eaten: Today Taste = Normal Ill effects = None (so far) So I bought a (ventilated plastic) bag of six kiwi fruit and promptly forgot I had them.
