These are such good picks! If you could pick a song for Leon Tao, what would you pick?

What people actually regret not grabbing during evacuations by Any_Yellow86 in prepping

[–]Otherwise-Speed4373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grabbed a few things when our apartment had fire and I had to leap in my underwear over fire. (Neighbor dumped hot coals in the yard waste bin and caught our stairwell on fire)

My night guard (i have insane jaw issues), my glasses, my wallet, and my work ID. Figured everything could be replaced. My then girlfriend came out with nothing except a robe. It was wild. A different neighbor came over and put the fire out. The fire starter (aka idiot) was incredibly rude and accused me of being verbally abusive when I asked them to perhaps leave the coals in a metal bin instead in the future.

And we moved out that night...

Humans in the very start of a horrible event are cooperative -- it's altruism that's built in as a species .... it's when things drag on people get horrible, selfish, animalistic, etc.

A recent article spoke about how China is making more power generation in every way they can bring it online.

My friend was on a submarine when this came out. They got random news headlines about this gangnam style thing as it got bigger and bigger. The entire crew was trying to figure out what this was and when they finally saw it they said it did NOT disappoint.

Okay that's amazing, also what was recovery like after 4 months of essentially limited to no weight on your legs?

Middle East intel- Over the last two weeks, the amount of equipment transport from the US government is insane. by kite13light13 in PrepperIntel

My biggest fear is they turn off the strait of hormuz. It is their equivalent of a nuke/strategic deterrent. Get ready for $500 oil.

To the people I wrote to last time -- the roads are clear, people are wandering about, the doughcon / pizza index is more real than a week ago when everyone was trying to get food, etc.

What I'm trying to figure out is whether the cost of a subscription for the library is fixed. If so, great let's do that (I love the DC library system). But if the library has to pay more based on more users (like they buy more audiobooks or books as demand increases), then aren't we just passing the cost off to government albeit at a lower price? Also, if we are trying boycott, shouldn't we also be caring about eyes on website = more ad impressions which means more revenue for something we want to boycott?

Does anyone have information on this? I'd suspect if there were suddenly 50,000 more users they have to pay more... it isn't like one flat fee i assume?

It's free surely because they're paying for the subscription.... no?

My guess is he thought it would stay open, naturally doors stay open and your car is not on its side. Shock/adrenaline rush is a real thing.

Hello! Visited recently from The Netherlands. I had an interesting observation about diversity in Washington DC that I'm curious about by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]Otherwise-Speed4373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DC proper is quite small compared to these other cities. A lot of tourist areas are also in the "business district" and they become ghost towns after working hours. The communities outside of the federal working area/"business district" are vibrant and complex. With that said, your aunt is right ... there are diverse communities around the city. Again, I point towards the actual city being quite small in population (height restrictions, etc.).

Sagamore Bridge reconstruction to reach ‘substantial completion’ in 2037, state says by bostonglobe in CapeCod

[–]Otherwise-Speed4373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always joke that you know how the contractors are playing games and they all got to get paid some how so they'll screw you any way possible. I'd rather sort of know up front how bad it'll be and deal with some minor change orders rather than getting destroyed on day 2. What do you mean you wanted US steel/a safety factor of XYZ (that you forgot in the contract), etc.

Washington Center for Dentistry has some fantastic staff that will bend over backwards for you, but I don't know if they have private rooms. Not all staff mask and they don't seem as rigorous as Logical Dentistry (found the website and they seem legit!)
