As a ham radio operator, we are not necessarily “preppers”, but we are “prepped.” 

That list provided here needs a simple modification. One of the radios mentioned should by all means be a shortwave radio. You need something to intercept broadcasts from across the country and around the world, not just the immediate area, and an FM or satellite radio isn’t going to cut it. Unless one of your radios…

One thing the article doesn’t really address is the grid scale transformers. We can’t make them but more than a small fraction per year of the current installed number.

Predictions from the man who believed the Internet was a fad and that the real medium for disseminating information was the CD-ROM.

One more thing before I go: in many areas - especially the northeast - the vending machine trade has been historically controlled by mobsters who love the easy to conceal cash flow. You might not have Tony Soprano show up to smack you around but competing with the kind of folks who enhance their profits by dodging…

I can deal with the laundering, but it’s the folding of all the bills and putting them back in the closet that kills me.

You’re misusing the term “direct flight” when you mean non-stop. A direct flight simply does not change flight number, but may have a stopover in another city (which also may involve a plane change!).

Non-Tesla drivers are forced to just use their phones like the commoners they are.

At this point I feel like most of the people posting in these fucking comment sections are taking Kinja more seriously than the poor assholes still working for it.

This article was such click-bait too. Here’s a picture of stick anti-perspirant that most people use, but oh the recall is actually about spray.

As long as Nevada remains a key purple swing state, no. 

The worst car to take is your best car.

What Could Be Cooler Than Typing on a Keyboard Salvaged From a Nuclear Missile Silo?

This isn’t really all that surprising and is true of most serious illness. People with multiple medical problems are more likely to have severe cases and be hospitalized. People develop more complications while seriously ill or hospitalized and are debilitated after a hospital stay, leaving them vulnerable to other…

I-93 traffic in Boston is always a mess after 1PM anyway. Doesn’t matter whether it’s northbound or south.

Never say never, if we all are part of simulation, which is getting more likely all the time, when we die and return to our real selves, Im gonna predict we get to recognize once again a lot of the answers. Its why I think deep down we really all ready know the answers, we just have to reach deep to recognize who and…

I get that my album centric listening habits is probably an outlier nowadays but I don’t understand why albums would play oh shuffle by default. If you picked an album to listen to I imagine you either want to listen to it in its order or you’re probably picking specific songs to play. Though I guess it helps foster…

Everybody wants to blame someone else for climate change. Sympathy for the Devil had it right: “Well, after all, it was you and me.” It’s easy to point fingers at others, but humanity’s collective demand for cheap energy and petroleum based products is behind it all. Doesn’t mean what we DO about it can’t be focused…

Being a Texan, I like to remind the grumpy GOPers I (often) come across that high gas prices means American oil workers have jobs. When gas prices drop, we see thousands of layoffs in the region. Therefore, high gas prices are pro-American jobs and you’re a Marxist commie for trying to make Venezuela rich with cheap…
