I have Alexa, although I'm going to remove her and replace with a locally-hosted thing. I've tied mine in with home automation stuff. So I can turn on and off lights using voice, even if I'm not at home. I sometimes forget to

I own a bar. I don't know any customers who drink 3 only drinks per week. We definitely have some that don't drink, or only a couple times per year. They come in and play pool, etc. But I would guess 95% of our customers drink clo

> Unprepared plain raw organic produce is delicious Yeah, although I doubt it was as delicious before modern farming. Or even if it was, we didn't have most of it. But an animal roasted over a fire is equally as delicious; just ask

My grandmother died at 99 with dementia. It didn't last too long, thankfully--it came only in the last few months. I'm so thankful even just for the last couple of years she got to spend with us. She was my neighbor, so we got to

I never heard of this book as a kid, or I would have devoured it. Hatchet and Where the Red Fern Grows were my favorite books. And The Forest Runners series. I still bought it when I heard about it as an adult. I'll read it soon. But I

I don't remember the names of the books, but I loved the one where Bean started out as a city kid (Amsterdam maybe it was?) I enjoyed the whole series. The first book is the best IMO, and the piggy world was the worst, but had some int

They'll find me, but they wouldn't if I were a billionaire. Also I just think you haven't thought through many of the problems you presented, most are easily solved. 24h guard? No, I'll make good use of zoneminder, moron

Only if they find me. If I'm too old to defend my food, either all the raiders have starved, or they've started farming. A nice food forest would probably be the best option. Camouflaged to most laypeople who can't identify p

I think giving your life for something else is the only altruistic act. But in general, I think there are almost zero situations where my death is worth more to others than my continued life. I don't live in a movie plot.

It's probably just your accurate idea of what's being asked for. The Bible isn't it.

This is off tangent, but I wish they'd find a new thing besides dollars to measure with. Or pin it to the average income. After laws have been in effect fifty or a hundred years, the amounts don't make sense anymore, and they usua

IMO it's the number one responsibility of lifeforms. Survive. And the only other thing is reproduce. The rest we just made up.

Consciousness/existence is the only valuable thing, in the face of losing it. I can't believe all the comments are talking about "who will run their farm" and "what will they do with no jet fuel." Everyone is s

Did any of the current billionaires grow up so wealthy that they don't know how to function? I think you're being way over the top. I think they're quite likely to be one of the most valuable people. Way, way more likely than

They're probably equipped with enough food stores to last their lifetimes. That's what I'd be equipped with. Ways to make fresh water and food, ways to generate electricity, and as we can all guess, an enormous stockpile of t

I believe I meet your two definitions, but probably not that of the guy you responded to. I mean I CAN write tests, and I have on a some particular projects, but it was the exception, not the rule. I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers

In about 1996 I was doing the same thing with radio shack walkie talkies. Some neighbor was on their phone all night, every night.

Maybe they didn't know. It seems to me like it's not "you scratch mine, I'll scratch yours" but more like "we all scratch each others." Like the whole troop owes one groom per day. But nobody can pinpoint

Seconded. Advoko Makes is one of the highest-quality channels on the internet, IMO. If you like the subject matter, for sure check him out. His hand-made custom tools are amazing. And his method for sawing lumber with only a chainsaw freeha

In the links, I found a guide to disable the AD ID that this tech uses to track you, on Android. I wonder what would happen if maybe an app or something allowed us to poison their data set. In theory, if my unique ID pinged in my home state

1 is self inflicted. As no one depends on a car to move their body, the solution is simple. Just don't own a car.

If (some) cops aren't using this to track their partners/children/enemies, I'd be extremely surprised. You can drill it down to an individual target easily if you know one place they often are.
