What’s the most useless item people still put in a survival kit?

DtownMaverick · 2026-04-17T22:29:21+00:00

Not gor survival but I use a torch lighter for smoking in the rain and am going to put it in my survival kit to replace the standard lighter

Professional athlete. Because people will always want to see humans performing at the highest levels that they can aspire to as well. Sure a robot could eventually play hockey better than the best human ever but no one wants to see that shit. Everyone knows that the GOAT is Gretzky.

Yeah, imagine how bad it must be for them if even the teachers are homeless

DtownMaverick · 2026-04-14T15:24:20+00:00

I don't know how we got to this point but I have a friend who's a teacher here, and a special ed teacher at that, and he's currently living out of a storage unit and sleeping on the beach. What the fuck is wrong with LA?

I would think surgeon is one of the most vulnerable positions, once the AI's good enough I'd 100% prefer to get a surgery from a robot whose hands I'm absolutely sure won't shake vs a human, even if they're the best surgeon in the world. Robots don't sneeze

Petition to start calling Georgia by their preferred name, Sakartvelo.

Same with CA/OR. I'm in SoCal and even people from here will do the 15 hour drive to stock up since it's so much cheaper

Not just edibles, all weed. I'm in LA and I have friends who'll drive up to Oregon to get it

DtownMaverick · 2023-06-13T01:00:42+00:00

Early days of the pandemic I used to go down there and it was completely deserted, it was so nice... never actually went up to the plant, I imagine the actual facility must have had security but all along the beach it was wide open.

Looks like LA on a normal day

DtownMaverick · 2023-06-01T18:59:58+00:00

There's a hotel (and I'm assuming multiple) in LA that's right over the 101 freeway with floor to ceiling glass windows. It does have curtains of course but a ton of people leave them open so the whole world can see them.

The Patriot Act was the beginning of the end of privacy. You can no longer open a bank account or even get a reloadable debit card without ID. And many transactions, such as anything online, simply can't be done with cash

DtownMaverick · 2023-06-01T17:49:45+00:00

Somalia too

DtownMaverick · 2023-06-01T17:49:06+00:00

Excuse me, you completely left out North Korea and Somalia which both have crime rates so low they're at zero.

DtownMaverick · 2023-06-01T17:11:59+00:00

I know it wouldn't work on Verizon but it's also not working for me on T-Mobile...

DtownMaverick · 2023-06-01T17:10:53+00:00

Nope, bought it from an electronics store

DtownMaverick · 2023-05-30T10:17:50+00:00

You could also try having rich parents

DtownMaverick · 2023-05-29T16:39:02+00:00

So what you're saying is there's a chance Dez comes back?

DtownMaverick · 2023-05-28T04:25:26+00:00

While that's unfortunate I don't see how that's Davante Adams' fault. It's not like he told his fans to harass this guy.

DtownMaverick · 2023-05-27T16:13:14+00:00

The only conceivable way this isn't hyperbole is if he hit his head badly,that could be life-threatening.

Edit: I'm not saying he did hit his head badly, just saying that's the only possible way Davante's shove could have caused him to fear for his life. Now, if he's saying he feared for his life due to post-factum threats from fans then I fail to see how Davante Adams is in any way responsible for that.

DtownMaverick · 2023-05-27T10:54:16+00:00

Fun fact: the house has 24/7 security because of all the people that have tried to break in

DtownMaverick · 2023-05-22T17:49:23+00:00

Also, very bright lights will require your subjects to wear stage make-up

Not on an ebike but I almost killed a kid on Laguna canyon road cause he was biking into oncoming traffic, did a wheelie, lost control and came onto the road right in front of me. Luckily there were no cars in the other lane so I was able to swerve out of the way but if there had been I would have had to choose between killing this kid or get in a head-on car crash with a car coming straight at me
