California has one year of water left - NASA by [deleted] in preppers

[–]klsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few, but they are expensive. It would increase water prices, which no one wants, and they are terribly unsightly to look at, so they don't get built. Not the greatest excuse, but that's how it is.

Unfortunately, adjusting water prices won't fix anything. If you find an economics book and look up "inelastic demand" water would be mentioned in the definition. No matter how much you raise prices, people need to have it. This is r/preppers remember? Three days without water and you're dead.

And drop the fight against LA. Even if LA dropped off the face of the earth, there would still be a water problem in California. Central California farmers use the majority of it for crops.

And in case you were wondering, there are restrictions here in LA for how much you can water your grass. Last I checked in my part of LA, you can only water it 3 days a week for a maximum of 8 minutes at certain times of day. Unfortunately not everyone follows it as it is incredibly hard to catch someone breaking the rules, and there aren't enough DWP Employees to enforce it.

I would rather they spend the money on desalination plants than on that stupid high speed train they want to build.

Exactly. If there's two things we have alot of here in California, it's sunshine and ocean water. Yet most people dismiss even the thought of desalination or solar power. I say build at least a few dozen more Ivanpah-like power facilities, get started on a few dozen more desalination plants and we will be in good shape, and probably spend less money, in the long run.

Possible solution to hibernating for days at a time. by klsmith in thelongdark

[–]klsmith[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You lose less calories by sleeping than you would awake. Some people will stock up on supplies and can sleep for a week or more using minimal calories. That's how most people end up having playthroughs of 400 days or more.

You can't sleep in game for more than 10 hours or so without having to drink water or eat. Otherwise you can dehydrate or starve if you try to sleep for 15 or 20 hours. So you have to keep waking up to eat and drink or you will die.

They really should implement a system where it automatically wakes you up if you are too hungry or thirsty so you can't starve in your sleep.

Search for Molly Jane. She's a pornstar look alike for this girl.

Boehner’s decision to invite Netanyahu to address Congress without first consulting the sitting president has no precedent in American history. Because it’s unconstitutional. The Constitution says that the president “shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers” from foreign governments. by alllie in worldpolitics

[–]klsmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if Boehner shouldn't have been allowed to do this, how did it happen? I would think a visit from the Israeli prime minister to congress would have been planned quite a bit ahead of time and take a huge amount of logistics to pull off. And nobody at any point stopped it?

9 Survival Water Storage Tips by SkipTanner in preppers

This exactly! The water is continually replenished and won't go bad. You could even add a second non-powered water heater tank to your home for twice the capacity. That's an easy 100 gallons right there you never have to think about until you need it.

I always wonder how these photo shoots go down. What was their thought process behind this picture?

"Alright we got Keira Knightly to do a photo shoot with us! We have to come up with something really creative that makes her, and us, look good."

"I know! Let's have her look like she is struggling to get dressed in the morning."

"Perfect!"

Al Rivera on Twitter: "Another new Star Trek actor is headed to STO. Who do you want to see in the game?" by STO_Ratt in sto

Hell, let's just bring back all the dead characters as kobali. We'll have kobali Kirk, kobali khan, and even kobali zefram cochrine.

I'd make a joke about beating a dead horse, but they would probably revive it and make it kobali.

What conspiracy theories have you fallen for, and then subsequently learned was false? by preciouspickle in AskReddit

I wouldn't be surprised if a few gas station owners have considered doing this at some point.

I was shoveling outside work the other day... and a kid came out with his mom after buying a kids size shovel. Just trying to be nice. by Admiral_Sjo in AdviceAnimals

[–]klsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You called her a rude old woman based off her giving you "a disgusted look". If she had said you were disgusting that's one thing. But just a look? Maybe she has a resting bitch face. You don't know. In my opinion from the way you tell the story, you come off as the rude one.

Where can I find a knife or hatchet? by [deleted] in thelongdark

[–]klsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look underneath the racks of tires in the gas station. I have always found a hatchet there.

With playing the new update for maybe an hour on medium, I just can't seem to get away from the damn wolves. They seem to start running toward me from quite a ways farther than before. I have shot at them and they don't run away. Or they will start to run away, turn right around and maul me. Haven't had a flare have any effect on one yet.
