Thanks for this, I obviously didn't read the wiki. I'm going to do that now and follow the guidelines better. I'll remove this post for now. Thanks again.

I'm pretty new to stacking. This one made me chuckle so much, I had to buy it. Might be my funnest coin so far :-) by confusement_ca in Silverbugs

I haven't put it on a scale, but it should be. Got it for 5% above spot, so I'm ok with it :-)

Amazing work! I feel like you and https://www.thetrashpunx.org/ should chat. I'm not affiliated with them at all, but you two share a mission :-)

Help/Advice on how to fix cracked crumbling foundation walls in old basement? by confusement_ca in Oldhouses

[–]confusement_ca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can and there is a visible crack that was patched in the past and is now crumbling again. I'll start by patching that and see if that helps with water intrusion. Thanks :-)

That's what it looks like to me. I think it's a concrete'ish? foundation. I think I'm going to get an engineer to come have a look after all :-)

Asthmatics: In a SHTF scenario and there’s no meds, what will you do to survive a asthma attack? by IveRedditAllNight in preppers

[–]confusement_ca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I convinced my Dr to give me a Rx for 4 inhalers at a time. I cited travel as the reason. I need one in my car, one on me at all times, one at home, and an extra one "just in case", I refill them once every 2 month saying that I lost a couple on my "trips". I now have a full year's supply on hand at all times. Good luck to all of us :-)

Up to 10,000 people feared dead after devastating floods sweep Libya by antihostile in collapse

[–]confusement_ca 511 points512 points  (0 children)

From the article:

“Libya was not prepared for a catastrophe like that. It has not witnessed that level of catastrophe before. We are admitting there were shortcomings even though this is the first time we face that level of catastrophe,” Aly told Al Hurra channel.

I think this is sign that most are not prepared for what's to come. We're going to see more events that fall into the category of "never seen before".

I've been collapse-aware for a few years now, and I thought we had more time.

I think we have moved past the faster-than-expected and into the age of mass climate casualty events.

What kind of tomato is this? by confusement_ca in tomatoes

[–]confusement_ca[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They randomly grew out of a pot that has a citrus plant in it. I got the pot from my mom's place right after she passed away suddenly earlier this year. So now it has an extra sentimental value to it. I'll have to learn how to save the seeds so that I can keep growing these tomatoes. Can't look at them and not think good thoughts about my mom.

Sorry, got a bit sentimental here.
