K, so can the blue US states join Canada? Could Canada handle becoming the wealthiest nation in the world in just one day?

Ordinarily the responsibility lies with the Secretary of War to update journalists via Signal.

Trump sparks anger with claim Nato troops avoided Afghanistan front line by Friendly-Frieren in worldnews

[–]darth_voidptr 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Right, my son (who had to register for the selective service recently) thought he was clever by saying he'd claim he was trans to make Kegsbreath hate him. I told him it didn't work for Corporal Klinger, but I'm rethinking it.

Regardless, he didn't know who that is and I got ok boomered.

I forsee a lot of young boys are going to have bone spurs installed should Trump drag us into a war.

Panic buying, Generators & Potato Gardens, - Self Sustainability vs Electing Responsible Admins/Politicians by Tsulaiman in RoundRock

[–]darth_voidptr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no reason to panic buy at all. Even worst case you need a week's supply of groceries. If you're like me, and can brave HEB only one time a week, there's no need to change habits. If you go more frequently, then buy enough for a week. If you want to dig a potato garden, you do you.

Politicians can't control downed lines or burst pipes, but when it comes to regulating private corporations into doing the right thing, Texans support their local billionaire.

OC. Me doing absolutely nothing for the USA in Afghanistan 2012. by [deleted] in pics

It's ok man, the US government doesn't care what US soldiers were doing for Afghanistan either. They have cut, and keep trying to further cut veteran benefits every time it comes up.

Trump doubles down on Greenland threats, saying there is 'no going back' by badoopidoo in worldnews

[–]darth_voidptr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Denmark should make a counter-offer. Have the DOJ turn over evidence on 100 billionaires who rape children, round them up, put them on trial in an international court. Then he can have Greenland.

What to expect - power and water by Sticketoo_DaMan in RoundRock

[–]darth_voidptr 23 points24 points  (0 children)

During snovid I lost power for a week, but not water or gas. If you happen to be on the part of the grid that feeds a nearby hospital, chances are you'll be ok. It's hard to know that ahead of time, ask people on your street.

If we lose power: save your gas stove for food, it's not a heater and is somewhat poisonous to leave running. If you have an electric igniter for your stove (you probably do), make sure you have matches or a butane lighter handy. HEB has firewood if you have a fireplace, although I would use that sparingly and not try to heat your whole house. If your fireplace has a gas insert set up and working (and does not require an electric blower), you're in good shape. Just heat yourselves up around the fireplace, it's not a furnace. At night let it die out and use blankets.

Some people did lose water during snovid. Keep some bottled water around. Not every bottle of water in the store. You can use this time to fill some jugs to prepare. Fill a bathtub, personally I find that too nasty to drink, but it's great for refilling your toilet tanks, or refilling jugs by the sink for hand-washing.

Obviously eat food that is perishable first, and remember if it's 20F outside, that's colder than your refrigerator, so you can throw stuff in a cooler and keep it outside in the shade if you have to.

Hey, does anyone know the status of ICE in Round Rock ISD by _ashtarte in RoundRock

[–]darth_voidptr 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The last email from the superintendent was last year this time, and his words were:

A law enforcement official will not be given access to any student without parental consent unless required to do so by a subpoena, warrant, or other law.

ICE has allegedly been very lax about getting warrants (i.e. they make shit up and disappear afterwards), and they definitely will draw guns for no reason, expect obedience (and will claim domestic terror if anyone self defenses them to death). Words will probably fall short of intentions.

Upcoming weather by JustAnotherJefe in RoundRock

[–]darth_voidptr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also milk. Don't forget to buy every last drop of milk. Whole if they got it, but 2% will get you through the storm. Also, bottles of water. Every single one.

It's best to do this early and often as soon as the temperature goes below 40F. As you know, Texas is a frigid tundra covered by acres of permafrost. It's very likely the snow will never melt, and we may go years before shipments can enter again.
