they’re too loud and they’re mainly car descriptions, what the hell is my pedestrian rear end going to do about a highway car description quote:
that’s not a lot of kids and it’s a broken program. you’ll save more kids by using that money to bribe FDA inspectors to approve vaccines or something.

You mean having your phone randomly scream at you at 3 AM about someone being abducted next town over doesn't make you put on some tights and fly out to stop the evildoers?

It's not like I'd need much of a reason to throw my phone into the ocean. Making me unable to turn those off could just be the final straw.

mawarannahr posted:they’re too loud and they’re mainly car descriptions, what the hell is my pedestrian rear end going to do about a highway car description whoa a kid with brown hair was abducted by a guy driving a silver car, real loving useful and actionable information so I'm supposed to go around hassling everyone who matches that vague description? I can't imagine it being useful in any situation. if the person is doing something alarming enough that it would make me call for help anyway, like dragging a screaming kid into a white van, the description of them matching the amber alert doesn't matter edit: and this poo poo is always custody battles anyway so it's not even like a child being lured into a van sort of situation anyway, the kid and the abductor would be indistinguishable from a kid with their parents BattleMaster has issued a correction as of 23:25 on May 21, 2022 |

Child alerts feel like MADD where good intentions got co-opted by certain parties that ballooned it into something inefficient and/or used to justify additional increases in b.s. police budgets and decreases in law enforcement accountability.

It's going to be cigarettes until those run out or get so dry that they turn to dust pulling from a pack. And then assholes like me would smoke them anyhow, crippling the supply further until one of Elon's kids holds the last full carton in existence. Then it will be something slightly less valuable.

The Bloop posted:I mean what should one really do after a nuke alert? Put a paper bag over your head and lay on the ground? serious answer: nukes do not have infinite power and in the absence of something weird like knowing exactly where its going to land, get as much physical *stuff* between you and outside hazards, like in a tornado so get inside, to the lowest floor you can, and try to make sure there's something between you and any windows. Curl up, close your eyes, and i think you want your mouth open to reduce the chance of the blastwave blowing your eardrums nothing's guarantee to work obviously, but again nukes have merely "an enormous amount" of energy, not "an infinite amount" of energy, and that energy is going to decline with distance and at a certain distance you can survive, and taking cover basically just artificially makes you "further" from the center. Might make a difference, might not. We don't have a lot of practical experience, thank god. if its an alert of like, actual state made nuclear weapons, fallout is not likely to be super high because actual well made nuclear weapons use as much of the fissile material as possible so if you survive the the blast and the probable secondary fires, your going to basically then be worried about water & food. If it's like a meltdown or dirty bomb type situation, try to seal up your environment as much as possible without actually putting yourself at asphyxiation risk. also stay away from magnetic stuff like iron, the atmospheric fallout stuff tends to be heavy and often magnetic

Also, that "should" assumes the objective is survival. I think you could make a superior argument that in case of nukes you should just find sunglasses and watch, given what will happen afterwards.

If I'm close enough that I need to have my mouth open to prevent the blast wave from blowing out my eardrums I'm probably close enough to ground zero to be in for weeks of radiation poisoning and a slow agonizing death. That's the worst place to be! What you want to do is get to the closest high value target so you are more likely to die instantly. e: whatever you do, don't get stuck in the orange zone

Arivia posted:cigarettes are the valuable loot item you exchange for bottlecaps, it's been this way since f3 Cigarettes have been currency in prisons pretty much since they were cheap enough that prisoners could afford them. I think maybe that predates the Fallout series. I'm not making GBS threads on the Fallout logic but a touch of realism isn't a bad thing. Besides, everything is a currency in those games if you find enough of it.
