Much ado aboot nothing… again.
Sun just keeps letting me down with his weakass shit. All face and no trousers.
That, and he’s yeller.

Don't forget the total lack of teaching hands-on skills. From basic math to being able to hammer a nail.good point but real books would be needed,assuming literacy remains. the people with knowledge in their brains aren't going to survive any more than any one else. staying alive will be time consuming and leave little time for educating the future. won't even be likely or possible for generations. books should still matter. we now know that "screen" education is grossly inferior to the socratic method,even lecture formats with interaction between educator and student. a shame that all this is destruction has been made possible and likely. a butlerian jihad would be a huge plus if offing computers and digital dependence didn't destroy civ. yes,i know we are now here using computers but IMHO net result for our species is a big negative.
I can’t how a row but……Don't forget the total lack of teaching hands-on skills. From basic math to being able to hammer a nail.
The average HS graduate these days can't even hammer a nail or build an Ikea Birdhouse.
How do you build a lean-to. Kindle a fire.. DIg a well. Skin out dinner. Catch a fish. Dig a latrine. chop a tree. Hoe a row.... if you don't have even the basic understanding of the difference between a shovel and an axe and a hoe.

Bitter water sounds unpleasant.I'm waiting for Wormwood to hit...
Climate Change. I'm sure Donald Trump was involved.Solar flares coupled with a great flood almost wiped out mankind about 12500 years ago.
They had that in Wakanda way before those Greeks had it. I bet the Greeks stole it from them.This talk about the "Libraries of Alexandria" reminds me of a 4-part, 4 hour (total) online documentary I'd watched a number of years ago, about the Antikythera Device. How it was created by Aristotle, how it worked, how it did ingenious things with gears so many thousand years ago.
As well as who stole it, took credit for the information it produced, as well as the destruction of it. Funny, but in all my searching I can't seem to find that same video series out there. Definitely some 're-written' ones, as well as shorter-version and whatnot. But none of them so-far that I can find talk about the invaders, the thieves, the 'copyright infringers' or anything like that.
Maybe your interwebz are different than mine. Point being, it's a hell of a story and points some specific fingers.
You can locate a club near you HereI really need to get into HAM radio. I inherited a lot of my grandfathers old stuff but I have no clue what do do with it.
I would be much happier if that were my approach.........I need to work on that.Ya know what...? Fuck it all, I don't care.

No expert but, just disconnecting transformers w/o grounding them would prove useless. Even transformers in a lay down yard would be toast, w/o grounding. You could protect your home from getting burnt to the ground with enough serge protection or by cutting power to it. Some suggest opening your mains & grounding it down stream. I've triple serge in my transfer switch, so it would matter little which source I'm on when it hits. As the house will not catch fire from massive inrush if I am not there just prior to. If I'm home I'd disable the gen-set, drop utility power, place the transfer switch in neutral and wait for the event to pass, then restore everything.Just a hypothetical question here.....if there was a massive CME, the 'kill shot' of sorts, we'd have a couple days heads up right? What sort of efforts could be made to decrease the damage? I have a very, very basic understanding of the way an EMP works, and a CME that's large enough would basically be an EMP that lasts a lot longer than a nuke. What are some theoretical moves that governments could make to minimize damage? Is it possible to mechanically open circuits of distribution lines so any currect generated by the CME would have nowhere to go, no transformers to blow? I mean that's the damage that we're worried about right? Massive runs of conducting wire above the ground will have a current induced by the EMP, and the longer the run of wire, the higher the current generated, and it overloads transformers and damages or destroys them. So I guess the question then becomes, how much of the wrong current can a transformer, or other electrical distribution equipment handle before it breaks, and how many feet, or miles, of conducting cable is required to achieve that level.
I really wish there was a expert on this site that could really lay out the facts. I just don't have any time to really go look for any really good info to be well informed on this subject.

Thanx sirhr
there goes my whole day binge watching that whole series!!
Should have lots of YouTube ads for ammo…
As in “buy more.”
This video dedicated to ArmyJerry!

We might have found him!
