I remember the first hurricane I was in where power went out for a week or so.

I do not live in the USA so I don't really know what it's like to live in a country with a high population, Japan and Germany are way bigger than me.
I understand though that 99% of the population can't live without everything running 24/7.
http://robrhinehart.com/?p=1331The walls are buzzing. I know this because I have a magnet implanted in my hand and whenever I reach near an outlet I can feel them. I can feel fortresses of industry miles away burning prehistoric hydrocarbons by the megaton. I can feel the searing pain and loss of consciousness from when I was shocked by exposed house wiring as a boy. I can feel the deep cut of the power bill when I was living near the poverty line. I can feel the cold uncertainty of the first time the power went out due to a storm when I was a child. How long before the delicate veil of civilization turns to savagery with no light nor heat nor refrigeration?
The grid, smart or not, is wasteful. Power generation produces 32% of all greenhouse gases, more than any other economic sector. Most power in the US is generated by burning coal, immediately squandering 67% of its energy, then run through a steam turbine, losing another 50%, then sent across transmission lines, losing another 5%, then to charge a DC device like a cell phone another 20% is lost in conversion. This means for 100 watts of coal or oil burned my phone gets a mere 25. In this light a solar panel that is 18% efficient doesn’t seem that bad.
Instead of ever increasing our energy production, what if we focused instead on reducing our consumption? I expect power will be at a premium in our first space colonies, and DC only from solar cells. So, I embarked on an experiment to see if I could survive without the luxury of alternating current.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

sounds about right. that is not a scenario I'd want to experience.

this is a good summary of the scope of things that would fail without power for a prolonged period

that's an interesting article. makes me wonder how much I could strip off power bills with a similar setup... though I live in an apartment without a balcony now though so I'm not sure I'd have anywhere to put large solar panels -

Food: people (Soylent Green or uncondensed fresh)
Water: rivers, lakes, natural springs, rainwater -

I can't imagine anyway to cook this. I mean look at it. There is absolutely no meat on the neck or shoulders and you should see the spindly legs and boney wings.

2019-12-12 at 3:11 PM UTCThere is going to be a major economic collapse coupled with a huge loss in jobs due to automation in the 2020s.
During this time there is going to be a push by the establishment to create a new form of living, described in that article I linked to about agenda 2030.
Technocratic communism, smart cities where you don't have a home you go to a pod hotel when you want to sleep.
Obviously a lot of people won't accept that so we'll be left to rebuild civilization on our own.
Basically there will be two separate societies, the east with its technocratic communism lead by jews and Chinese, and an agricultural self-sustaining west (at least in the us).
I predict a major wave of immigration of Europeans into the US. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL Yeah, it's the end of this broken-down, corrupt system. The end times are finally here, and the end is just around the next corner. The world itself won't be destroyed, although they would certainly do that if they were permitted to, but it's the end for all the scum who have been infesting this world for far too long. Now they all get what's coming to them - everything they've earned for themselves.
Yeah...impeach that bastard! -

Because I was setting up for the backstory. The Zoklet mods on Fun Bunch had to abide by the PI rule, but they kept encouraging and approving of PI that was posted by others, so I made a fake Facebook account and uploaded some fake pics to it and laid some bread crumbs out for the Fun Bunch to find, and once they linked to it, I convinced zok that it was my account by sending him a message from it, so zok was forced to ban several of the Fun Bunch, according to his own PI rule. Mods who encouraged PI to be posted got banned. I just sat back and laughed and laughed. Totally ironic. The hunters become the hunted. -

thats a lot of efforts to go thru and quite frankly quite a pathetic thing to do its on par with making a fake fb account to convince people that their a girl.
her excuse was shes young, whats yours ?
