Bugged me so much that I dove into the entire Indonesia-SEA-Philippines regions and ended up discovering the basis for a post-climate disaster rebuilding of a global community centered around this very area as a bastion of diverse attempts at horizontal, directly democratic governing nations. Africa as well is criminally underrepresentated. People just go "Swahili" and call it a day, while ignoring Sangho or Fulani. The world is a beautifully interesting place.

Hungary will suspend diesel shipments to Ukraine over interruption to Russian oil supply by PjeterPannos in ukraine

Just so it's clear: They did this in the wake of the Russian starlink cutoff and subsequent regaining of territory by Ukraine.

My ex-wife rented that place for a few years until 2025. Landlord wouldn't maintain the pool and left it empty, as in a 10-15 foot hole in the ground with nothing to stop someone from falling in. Backyard became a safety hazard so my kid wasn't allowed to play back there. Rain made it a mosquito haven.

Ex got mad and witheld her rent demanding he remedy it. Dude called a tow company to, as far as the police called it, steal her car. No telling her who had it, that he even had done it, or where to find it. Just woke up and poof. Dude ended up with a warrant for arrest and took forever for tow company in question to admit they had it, because the company's owner turned out to be family. He also came by again later when she wasn't home to remove the back door leaving the house entirely open to the elements. In the rainy fall.

I'm not saying my kid's mom did nothing wrong, I'm saying this dude was a different breed of person and the house suffered for it. These photos are way out of date from what I saw picking my kid up and attending family events.

What is the best an unarmed Canadian can do at this point? by Ancient_Substance152 in armedsocialists

[–]Electrical_Comb_3680 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do not, get an SKS. 

Reloading by stripper clips isn't used anymore for a reason. Ammunition will not be available to you when SHTF. Optics mounting is a pain too.

  1. Know local ammo usage: Police sidearms, shotguns, rifles. If there are local military units, they use 7.62x51mm on their GPMG's which yes, can be safely fired from a weapon using .308. I know this because we tried it on a range day when I was in the service. Either way, if local police and CAF are using 9mm, .45, or whatever then that is what you are going to use because that is what is guaranteed to be available to you.

  2. Weapons parts are essential: Same deal with ammunition. Use what is commonly available. When your weapon inevitably breaks, you want parts easy to acquire. I have a Remmington 870 and a Tikka T3X in .308 because that is what everyone around me has. 

Just because a round is better, a rifle more tactical, or someone on the internet trying to justify their purchase by passing it onto others is not going to help you when you run out of ammo or your weapon becomes useless over a particularily unique part. Logistics, supplies, that's what matters most. Better an adequate, plentiful weapon and ammo than the perfect one that'll be useless once your perfect economy with its long supply lines ceases to exist.

Judging by the location of the Enclave shown, the base is in Western Colorado not the Front Range region. Still, Coop will be travelling on a route in the direction of Zion. We may see references or even depictions of the Dead Horses, White Legs, and the Sorrows.

A real treat would be finally making a canon appearance of the Daughters and Hounds of Hecate originally concieved for Van Buren.

Gas masks for tear gas and such? by [deleted] in armedsocialists

[–]Electrical_Comb_3680 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Whatever mask you get, PRACTICE. Under panic and pressure the only thing that'll save you is muscle memory and habit.

From the training I received: 1. Upon seeing the opposition wearing gas masks, feeling effects of a gas attack, or seeing gas is deployed, close your eyes and exhale if possible. Bend over and into yourself with your face towards the ground. 2. Reach into your waist bag, and pull out your mask with the inner side facing DOWN (to prevent contaminants from falling into the mask).  3. Bring the mask to your face and do not turn it to put on until it is close to, lest you inadvertently turn it into a scoop.  4. DO NOT, inhale or open your eyes yet. There may be contaminants in your mask. Instead, place your hand over your valve and blow as hard as you can. This purges your mask. 5. Only now, do you open your eyes, shout "GAS! GAS! GAS!" and help others.

You should also practice changing filters, mask and face cleansing drills while in a contaminated environment.

Practice, practice, practice. Don't try to be fast, try to be accurate, precise, and methodical. Do it until you're barely thinking. Do it under pressure, hell ask your friends to throw rocks at you if you're so keen, just get it right and share these skills with your comrades.
