I’ve been having fun watching this happen with my father. He gets really frustrated with those he refers to as “my fellow old people”. He’s 70 and in better shape and more mobile than some 50 year olds I know.

It’s easy to sit on the other side of the border or other side of the ocean from where this is going on and tell strangers to shoot people to assuage your conscience. Building parallel support systems takes time. Organizing takes time. And if you’re looking at our mainstream media, you’ll never know what is actually going on, because they are owned by the very people who want to kill or capture Americans.
Tl;dr: get over here and pick up a rifle, or keep your snide comments to yourself.

It’s a good thing that drones aren’t easy and fun for anyone to build…

And the other 1/4 is mythological silliness that makes it look like the US won everything by themselves.

Good Omens is the name of the book.
Agnes Nutter had concealed forty pounds of roofing nails and eighty pounds of gunpowder in her petticoat.
Which makes me wonder how much of a hulking beast she must have been to carry that.

This is for when they come to your house. At that point your best case scenario is that you’re dragged perfectly healthy to a concentration camp.

Last October my work PC was “upgraded” to windows 11… All the menus are wrong, nothing works like it should, and it keeps trying to get me to poison the air by using copilot. At home I use Linux Mint and it’s amazing. The only thing I’ve tried to do on Mint that it wouldn’t do is play one video game I have called Cosmoteer. Which is strange because I have a lot more complex programs and games that run fine.

When that game came out my kid was about the age of the Little Sisters… I couldn’t make myself kill one.

Funny you should make this suggestion. I’ve been having a grand time figuring out how to make drones, can confirm it’s great fun for the whole family.

I’m going to guess they are terrified and excited and just yelling random cop noises.

That’s for the best. You can 100% fall over dead before you know what’s happening in an unventilated manhole.

My wife and I tried to plant a vegetable garden last year, it was our second try after learning some things the previous year. We got a lot of veggies out of it and had a lot of fun. We weren’t so interested in saving money, we were more worried about bare shelves at the grocery store. We also have a few chickens.
We are going to make it even better this year.
- Comment on Air quality in there isn't too good 2 years ago:
I used to have to poke around in manholes. Not all of them have the name of the city on them, and not all of them go to a sewer. Some of them have cables in them.
The one pictured does look like a municipal manhole cover instead of one belonging to AT&T or another communications company, just because of the design on it.

I think food riots are just a few years off, really. Maybe when enough stock is stolen and enough stores trashed they will learn, but I expect they will try to be heavy handed, sending in the local WalMart Defense Team (a.k.a. the police force closest to a given walmart) to handle it, but there are definitely going to be problems with that considering some people go to walmart armed.

Ask anyone who’s kept chickens, keeping the hawks and foxes and raccoons etc. out of them is a constant and eternal struggle.
Two things I have learned as a chicken weirdo:
1.) Get dark colored chickens
2.) Get a big mean rooster.
I haven’t lost a chicken so far, but I have seen my bigass stupidly brave rooster take on all comers, he has defeated squirrels, snakes, frogs, mice, and a gopher that was apparently pretty bad at making connections. I’ve watched him chase off a cat and a pretty good sized dog. Foghorn Leghorn is more accurate than I realized.
But more than his incredible dinosaur kung-fu is that he is smart, and communicates with his hens. He will tell them to shelter in the coop, and they will run and hide. A hawk isn’t going to want to deal with 15 pounds of land-bird standing in a small doorway.
For the color, a black or gray chicken will be harder to see against the ground than a white one. Also, I think they look cooler than plain white chickens.

- Comment on A fair trade 2 years ago:
There are two courses locally that are at least partially baskets in the woods. There is another a bit farther away that is completely in the woods, and uses old tires for the baskets.
None of them have a golf-course style lawn though. At the most, just grass that gets occasionally mowed.
- Comment on A fair trade 2 years ago:
Disc golf > ball golf. Don’t need a perfectly manicured unnatural lawn for disc golf, in fact that makes it a lot less fun.
