Write a paper journal and when there are sensitive stories write them in a cypher only you know the key to?

Yep, and all US Citizens have the same rights and access to the same stuff.

Like anything else you can't expect your political opponents to do the hard work for you.

If people suddenly want to get into 2A stuff, good! They unironically should to go buy a rifle and/or pistol, some related equipment, learn and get good. From there you are free to do what you're willing to live with.

New neighbors: Wow being in the country is so scenic and beautiful we can't wait to be done with city life and build a house here

Also new neighbors: Put in asphalt driveway, fences, buildings, all flooded with more exterior lighting than a small stadium

They're good people and they put up with a reasonable amount of our shenanigans but I'm only mildly exaggerating. Our other neighbors told me they don't need to buy night lights for their kids because of all the extra light from that place

The US mil will certainly be negatively effected in the short term if China were to cut/be cut from manufacturing. This substack article is by a retired US navy/NATO officer who explains it better than I can, but the short answer is a LOT of very important munitions, vessels and equipment have chinese semiconductors in them

And that system is AWESOME and I wish some highways in the US did the same. I fear it would devolve into a regulations nightmare after bubba in his rusted dodge rattles to peices trying to break 80mph.

Flat open highway in between cities in Kansas? Go for it!

But it's kind of like the US and guns. It's a cultural ability that is statistically proven to be dangerous and can be seen as too big of a risk for even the most responsible ordinary people to enjoy, and reckless people put the whole activity in question.

That is the kind of speed it takes to get a 747 into the air on takeoff.

Say you rolled down a back window of a car and stuck your head out (not recommended) you would feel wind so strong it would max out typhoon and hurricane scales, similar to an EF4 Tornado. The skin of your face flaps like fabric and seeing and breathing is very difficult, as seen here

Structure doesn't mean authoritarian by default but I see what you mean. Maybe like a reserve/volunteer fire department deal?

You have a normal life but you have some equipment you keep at home or in a car. Rifle, pistol, armor, drones, medical, packs etc, but the heavy equipment is in a dedicated area. Most equipment is self bought but with standardized calibers, mags etc for simplified logistics. Routine training and maintenance is done weekly, larger more objective focused training every quarter or so.

The key would be having armed people outside of that group, not only to boost defensive capability of the community in an emergency but to provide a deterrent to misuse of the defense force for anything but countering external threats. If you don't have that, in the words of a Clint Eastwood movie, "there are two types of people, those with loaded guns and those who dig"

looking good!

You're right the cold plate sucks out a lot of heat! I sit them in hot water and dry them off before putting the food on

The Science:

/s ...kinda. AI is going to make so many things very hard to trust at first glance and it will cause chaos in all kinds of important fields.

I loved using it as the tranquilizer gun in Metal Gear Solid 2

The US is a massive place. Yes the federal govt can suck but state and local governments are where you see the real day to day effects like roads, local businesses, utilities and parks.

Sit in on a meeting (a lot of stuff is streamed thanks to covid). Get to know the people in office in your area and what they stand for. If you want make your voice heard however you choose and give them some perspective on how an upcoming decision effects you. You can vote wisely and build a community with them from the bottom up.

You can have a surprising level of influence just by reminding people that voters exist and care enough to give input now and then.

Right and I'm sure it would work but technically Tesla advises responders not to. Idk why or what their recommended alternative might be

I agree but I assume the same goes for most EVs

Has anyone actually looked at the amount of water needes to handle a tesla fire? The pdfs are available and we looked at them when I was a volunteer. It's like 8,000 gallons or something to keep battery temps under control. Our tanker holds 2,000 gallons and foam isn't effective like it is for normal car fires.

A single tesla on fire needs a response similar to a house fire. Most fire response is going to be very strained with multiple, especially if they are at different locations.

You can't expect those on the opposite political spectrum to do stuff for you
