It’s not surrounded by a ton of corporate bs. I know the us govt has their own openstreetmap setups (like this basic unclassified one) and wiki sites (intellipedia) because it’s a proven framework to set up and add your own information.

gps too

The reason why police have a ton of “militarized” equipment us because the military puts a lot of gear up for sale as surplus. Our county sheriffs picked up an old hummvee and MRAP for practically nothing.

Cybertrucks aren’t mil surp. Maybe years from now but not anytime soon

That goes for a ton of popular musicians

I’m shocked (shocked!) that a country singer would stick with the fanbase that got her to where she is

Meshtastic is cool I wish there were more public users around me.

Yeah looks like the thrust reversers were on so they tried to slow down but it wasn’t enough to matter

You can use CalTopo’s print pdf to print that OSM data too

Just smile and wave to Igor and Dimitry when you see them from across the border. They are all they can spare and I’m sure they’re happy with their assignment away from the combat of Ukraine

Right? I am fairly rural myself and the mindset of some seems naive to me. Like not having candles and flashlights because the power always comes back in a few hours.

Oat Bran Crunch or something my parents bought had more sugar per serving than Lucky Charms.

I want this for android phones and chrome, gmail etc without jumping through hoops

Target id is very important. Weapon lights are important. This shit will haunt him for the rest of his life.

When people refer to it as prepping or some kind of bad behavior I remind them that ready.gov is meant for everyone and the stuff they recommend only works when it’s in place beforehand.

I agree. Responsible gun ownership is for everyone and when done right it’s a lot of fun.

And even in right leaning circles only the fudds like the NRA.

I think it only became strange a few generations ago

I think that improving your resilience as an individual citizen is important. I’m not saying the zombie robots are coming, but that if the climate is getting worse (it is) and local weather also gets worse (it will, just a matter of how much) you can’t count on food, water, power etc to be on hand 100% of the time.

It’s amazing how many people act like having a small garden, a solar panel to charge devices and some jugs of water just in case is some unspeakable crazy talk

“Oh no I eat garbage and rarely do physical activity why oh why do I hurt when I do even the smallest things?” - Me, before I started getting out and doing things.
