Hubbert posted:now with sound Oh gawd, I'm dying! Stereotype posted:i'm just going to do the two novelty image probations, so congrats to Popoto and Perry Mason Jar Disappointing, but understandable. I was looking forward to the quacking when someone's Leper Colony reading experience was polluted by a Vyelkin-style mass bdell probing. Good times. blue squares posted:so should I finally stock my garage with emergency rations or is that a fools game Always a good idea to have a few days worth of something on hand to smooth out the bumps caused by extreme weather, earthquakes, and workers not showing up due to disabling sickness, especially if we get hit by a Fuckitallitis pandemic. I suggest the lifeboat rations from Costco's Doomster department. They can survive years stored in a lifeboat locker without deteriorating so a car or garage should be no problem. Some of them taste like lemoncake , probably not so good if you need to stretch out your supplies in which case find the ones that taste like cardboard flavoured dog food. The rations expire after 5 years but that might not be a concern where we're going. Wash your lemoncake survival food down with a case of vinyl flavoured lifeboat water. You could also stock up on MREs but they're expensive and for most of us don't solve any problems that couldn't be solved with a carboy of water, a cheap camp stove, and a case of Kraft Dinner. This would also leave you with money for the necessities of life - drugs, alcohol, and condoms.

gently caress COREY PERRY posted:it is a normal thing to have ice receed during the depth of winter Looking at prior years, they didn't go up in a straight line either, and they backtrack from time to time too. There are always storms and changing wind patters that move it around. What's not normal is for the ice to be a solid month and a half behind schedule and god knows how many sigmas below mean.

Trabisnikof posted:also it is insane to consider how many things took a long as time to be invented and propagate, like it took until the 12th century AD for homes to get chimneys in england. -500 years puts us at the Renaissance which still means advanced sailing/naval technology, cannon, gunpowder, and movable type for the printing press. Sometimes I feel like the average person's conception of history kinda stops around the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and they just assume everything prior was mud and dirt and all our technology was invented since that pivotal point.

Trabisnikof posted:sure but that doesn't mean we should assume "those dumb historians never considered it was for socks" when they have, and there are issues with that theory too. how would you do historical or archeological research on the fiber arts of illiterate societies/communities or even just groups within a society whose work wasn’t preserved? i hope that doesn’t sound snarky. I really don’t have much historical training and this seems like an extremely challenging problem since so many of the artifacts will decay and will be so commonplace that nobody will mention them. I guess I’m trying to understand how we can know the origin of knitting or weaving or anything like that with any kind of certainty.

You can even draw parallels between the Cult Mechanicus’s fixation on historical research and recovery (rather than experimentation and scientific exploration), Lovelock’s imagined “Book of All Seasons”, and the historical legacy of Etymologiae in medieval Europe. This is gonna be a long book quote, but it's nice to go back to my academic roots! ”The Long Descent, John Michael Greer (Pages 182 to 187)” posted:

We're nearly at the critical mass of nonviolent demonstrations before the ruling class has a big Come to Jesus moment about fossil fuels. In my expert opinion

In my expert opinion The latest Nate Hagens podcast has a Spanish dude (with a thick accent I had to try and concentrate on at times) who was talking about the potential of flat or negative GDP numbers being a turning point globally should they come about and persist for years. I look at the Doomsday Econ thread and think about that drop in France spending money on food and consider that trend beyond a few months. And then a guy ruins Wimbledon or The Ashes by throwing orange powder about and I think of all the people ringing into Radio 2 and LBC saying they hate them and they should be locked up and left to rot.
