Even a broken watch is right once a day.

ZeroHedge's broken watch is pointing to the 25th hour...

ZeroHedge preaches the end is near more often than an Appalachian televangelist and with just as much accuracy to what financial markets actually do. In fact, ZH actually disproves the adage that "even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while". If ZH broke a clock, it wouldn't be right even once a...

I'd agree except there is a problem with the theory. Prior to the introduction of these scripts in to our society mass public shooting that were not politically related were a bit of a rarity. Still, even then the shooter was most often seriously mentally ill, such as with the Texas Bell Tower shoo...

I am all about better living through chemistry. BP meds and antibiotics have extended the life of billions. But these brain drugs are remarkably consistent with active shooters. Any other drug that had a 1 in hundred thousand chance of spontaneously killing a few dozen people a year would have been...

For those of you making fun of the thread, consider this: For millions of people, the bomb did explode. Americans lost houses, cars, and livelyhoods in the debt collapse in 2007-2008. Around here, very, very few people have had any meaningful recovery. Argentina worsened again. Venezuela is down the...

So what would be classified as the right kind of plastic drums for kerosene or diesel? Many people don't use the right stuff even for things like rain water barrels to water their flowerbeds, let alone for a more specific and potentially hazardous use. How long do such barrels last? Do you buy them...

You want to put diesel into a plastic drum? I wouldn't do that. I'd find a metal barrel of whatever size you need, particularly if the drum is going to be exposed to heat fluctuations. This is especially true for longer term storage. To be fair, I wouldn't do it with kerosene either. It works fine,...

We have a little tractor that's the only diesel engine in our fleet. We've been buying it fuel 5 gallons at a time and, though it doesn't use fuel very fast at all, that's been enough to keep us from running into gelling trouble in the winter. However, it's kind of a pain in the ass to go find diese...

for posterity :clap: before the cold lock of doom I am confused as to how I amused you. I think you might have misunderstood my complaint about people focusing only on the extreme outcomes and then posting something about how it's still going to be bad. 2-4C within my lifetime (I'm younger than a l...

<----------- Darwinism explained in one sentence Adaptability happens on an evolutionary time scale. It's not a terrible problem if the climate heats 2-4C over a span of a thousand generations. Animals will evolve to adapt to that just fine. It's a much bigger problem when humans are causing that s...

That is a very odd statement. Xeno is just a prefix derived from Greek that means other or stranger. It has no political, ethical, or moral content or significance.

"immigrate now/soon before Canada becomes as xenophobic as much of the US" They are already way more so. Have you even read their immigration policies? Yes, as someone actively looking to immigrate, I have. They're not that hard to navigate as they basically boil down to "only useful people need ap...

This has been discussed here before with different motivating factors. Moving 300-700 miles north will only put you in direct confrontation with existing people who live there. If that's your plan, expect a lot of resistance to your presence. A much safer plan is to adjust your skill set to how the...

Maybe this is a little off topic as the original topic is regarding worldwide food transport, but what about internally within the US (or wherever you may be in the world)? I wonder what kind of chokepoints are in the continental US? No need to imagine a scenario as extreme as Forstchen's "One Seco...

My biggest take away from it is that the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere are increasing. In quantities greater than "X" adverse effects begin. Those close to the climate change issue will even falsely dramatize well known, validated, quantifiable and observed effects to get try to scare peop...

Do you have any new "neighbors"? Back when I lived in the city there was a rash of catalytic converter thefts right around when some rather interesting people moved into a house a few blocks up from mine. They moved away and exhaust system components quit vanishing. Nobody was able to prove anythin...

There seems to be an uptick in dog nappings. People will steal pets right out of the yard and sell them through CL, etc. Its happening so much that leo are posting on facebook that they're only rumors lol. Actually, that's another thing that started in this neighborhood within the last month. Enoug...

I live in a kind of weird transition zone on the triplepoint of rural, trailer park, and yuppie suburban. There's a community web forum for the area allows us to trade info on what's happening but this one has a lot of people puzzled. Last week, people started reporting strange things going missing ...

Most house collapses don't compact neatly into the basement and allow safe access to the attic. The rubble pile is almost always a death sentence to enter if there's been an actual collapse.

I have one of the Fluke ONE for iOS cameras. It's quite useful, though a long way from perfect. At $125, you should absolutely snatch it up! The biggest drawbacks are ABYSMAL battery life, no ability to set the min and max temp for the display, and a max temp of 250F. Coupled with depresurization, t...

How does one acquire "sheet moss"?

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to clad skyscrapers in plastic wrap?

I meant something like this: https://s0.bukalapak.com/img/2/2/4/6/4/7/2/2/5/medium/images%20(5)_scaled.jpg IMO, those are dumb. The amount of sunlight you can turn into electricity depends on the amount of surface area of your solar panel. That's a tiny panel! I can't even guess how many days of fu...

Your question #1 was something I asked in my initial post. Large farm animals are out, not allowed due to the nearby city somehow being able to enforce laws outside its borders... And keeping the thing running for a few years is no problem. I'm a mechanic and I have all the normal maintenance parts ...
