Find books written about farming/saving during ww2. Get a freezer and a canner. Stock up on beans/rice/etc (long shelf life foods). Save bones from meat, boil them for 6 hours, then let fool and strain them. Can/freeze the broth (I put mine in quart freezer bags flattened out in the freezer). One quart added to 1qt water is filled with nutes for soups and such. If you have a fireplace, keep a bag of dryer lint for kindling. Buy heirloom seeds, learn how to save seeds (Whenever I grow green beans I always have 100+ dried pods in autumn as I usually only have enough to harvest 2x with any real quantity. Each dried pod has at least 4 beans). Buy things you need now that tariffs will affect the most (electronics, coffee, etc.) Start learning how to fix things yourself, get basic tools (drill, hammers, driver sets, wrenches, etc). Fix car problems now, before parts go up. If you know ANYONE still alive now from the 30s to 40s, pick their brains on what they did. Also, get books on identifying plants. Sorrel is awesome to add to food for flavor, dandelions are a good source of Vit C… my knowledge is limited, but so far that’s what I’ve tried (do NOT eat roots of dandelion).

I do not like that man Ted Cruz…

You’re still a product of your upbringing. I was Conservative, like my whole damn family. I in recent years woke up. I never did hateful acts, but I had the thoughts. Sometimes I wonder if people can see the filth on me, see that I made racist jokes, etc. I’m teaching my child differently. She can go to church or synagogues, or whatever. I’ve told her we’ll go if she wants to. But she also knows how I feel about my days in church, and she remembers the days when she was younger and what she overheard. She respects religion, but hasn’t shown any inclination towards it. (Baptist churches, btw, in a Bible belt area, where people didn’t fight much about desegregation only since extreme minority until the 90s.)

Oh no, we were promised no more votes would be needed after 4 years. We’ll likely see Don Jr. in a few though after the heart attack…

Look up his family history. His grandpa was a technocrat and raved about Orania. He’s a product of his upbringing. His Dad ran emerald mines during Apartheid. Racism is taught. He’s a damn nazi.

I’ve never listened to the originals, but I love that 41 books (I think, I’m on eleven now) have been read by the same actors (including Bill Neighy) throughout. Gives a great feeling of continuity. Every time Death speaks without the book hinting I think, “Oh something bad is happening to somebody.”

Oh the algorithm is very very intuitive. It isn’t taking long to connect me with content I like. The Chinese videos are definitely there, but the app is learning and adapting quickly as US content is flooding in

US. I looked, only found a link for $40/12m… nothing free unless a TX citizen.

Love all works narrated by Kramer, also all the newest Discworld recordings (absolute masterpieces)

We’ve already seen what White Christian Nationalists are doing with period trackers and data related to abortion clinics. Requiring ID will be a privacy issue, and it will be used against people.

There is Red book and Red note from what I understand… and Red Note was on the Playstore in the US as of 2 days ago when I dl it.

Yep. So much is shared on TT. I learned recipes, news that’s barely covered, legal advice from actual lawyers, protesting tips, surveillance avoidance… (strange they wanna ban the app)

Signed up myself. Still rebuilding my FYP. Most US users I’ve seen are TikTok refugees. It picks up quickly though. I see less and less Chinese users and more and more US. Pearlmania is on there, Tizzyent (still kinda unsure if that’s a good thing). It’s happening.

Any examples?

Love my Newdery batt case on my s20fe. 2 full charges, charge slow all night for both. Extra in case I game or use a lot, and my battery will last longer.

Wish I had known about this site when I repurposed my daughters broken laptop into a minipc. I designed a simple box with Tinkercad, joints and all (wasn’t hard, but this aounds easier).

I only know of one Russian game. Tetris.

Explains why BASF took racist allegations so seriously when my dad worked for them…

X is just a small sample of the problem as a whole.
