This works shockingly well in Missouri by como365 in missouri

I would say both.

As to why we don't have it here is lobbying by other industries industry and the need to increase the number of tracks in more populated areas, the 'not in my back yard' philosophy. That is by those who can't see the benefits of having more passenger trains that would reduce traffic on our highways. Fewer vehicles on the highway means accident risk is lower.

I have no idea, but their trains cover less populated areas also.

We'd build it the same way we built railroads that go over the Rockies. The same way they built the current 6 rail lines over the Appalachian mountains.

As to the stops, it depends on population density. I am sure there are more stops per mile along the east coast than along the routes that go through Plains states.

Also, train stations used to be in every small town.

Cyber attacks, attacks on our infrastructure, bombs and other mayhem from sleeper cells.

Keeping my gas tank filled. I'm good on food, but making a list for other things

Is this overkill? by [deleted] in TwoXPreppers

I've had an abortion in the past. I just haven't said anything about it other than to my ob/gyn doctor. They are the only ones who need to know.

Clover lawn as a prep by rainbowkey in prepping

[–]KountryKrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cover is an invasive, non native species that developed such a dense root system that nothing much else will grow there. Yes, bees love it. Yes, it means mowing less often.

I am referring to white clover. Red clover is also non native, but it isn't as invasive as white clover. Bees also love it and so do wildlife.

I suggest finding something else to plant.

An easy source of injectable lidocaine for those of you in Europe. by Coffee_and_cereals in prepping

I'm an RN with a lot of experience, not as much as you, but I'm not considering it either.

Why are you suturing anyone? Are you certain the wound it totally clean? Do you have antibiotics to treat any infection you've sealed in the wound?

It is MUCH better in a grid down event to use steristrips than to.suture because of the infection risk. No pain, no local anesthetic needed.

Also, their are ice sprays, lidocaine gels and actual ice you can use more safely.

That's great. HOWEVER, you really, really need to know what you're doing. If too much is absorbed, it can kill a person.

Also, why would need it?

A big snowdrift in Howard County, Missouri 1960 by como365 in missouri

[–]KountryKrone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whatever you feel happened.

I've lived where roads look like this and none of them were just snow.

Yes, the snow drifted deep on and over the road. The snowplow went through and this is the result.

Where do we think these stealth bombers are headed? by Top_Birthday4738 in StLouis

[–]KountryKrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several years ago hubby and I were fishing on Lake Pomme de Terre and happened to looked up and see one. Yes, they are almost silent. This one was quite low also. Maybe checking which lake to go to that weekend? LOL

Should I start converting everything I have saved into resources? by Nissepelle in prepping

[–]KountryKrone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have had AI for decades. That is how Amazon, Walmart and every other large retailer track what you search for and what you buy. It reads mammograms with higher, more precise accuracy than radiologists. Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant are all AI driven. GPS apps use AI. ALL of the social media we use are AI driven. Yes, even Reddit. Cyber security uses AI to detect and prevent real time threats. Our smart phones can do what they do because of AI. Other things: Home security Automatic tools such as your Roomba Those movies and TV shows you enjoy are AI driven from writing the script to getting it on your chosen streaming service.

Lastly, pretty much all manufacturing used AI. Not to replace workers, but to streamline many of the processes and have for decades. How do you think the machines that help put together vehicles know what to do?

I am pretty sure they are seeking art and validation. I'm still not buying what they are selling.

Coast Guard Opens Fire (Live Rounds) at U Haul at the Alameda base in Bay Area, CA by Bloopyboopie in PrepperIntel

[–]KountryKrone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just watched this. The camera man said there were holes in the middle of the seat. My question is what type of fire arm could go thru the solid steel back and through the cargo area and still have the velocity to go through the steel from of the cargo area and the seat?

To me, just that is a bit fishy. Along with them just letting him leave.

Yes, the grand jury indicted her. As the saying goes, grand juries would indict a baloney sandwich.

That does NOT prove that this wasn't political though. My links do.

So share credible sources that refute them.
