The thing I have to remember is that just the other winter, Texas froze over and their grid wasn't winterized, a few hundred people died, not huge, but even one is huge to someone close to them. They could have, but when the option was left to them, they opted for profits over being prepared.

Great. Howl will defend us from the sun, I can't wait to see our odds.

It's casino odds.  Eventually you're fucked and no more food or electric light.

Worth betting on, I mean, if I lose I'm ravaged by feral, starving city-dwellers when the food doesn't come in. Honestly, the question being asked here is an important one, I looked it up, scary stuff. It makes sense for us to be as prepared as possible if/when this happens, but yeah I see there's not a lot of money to be made on that, because it hasn't happened yet, and when it does, it'll be too late for preparation.

Better than being asked to fend off vacuum collapse, at least.

So much for releasing the drones into the wild. Alas.

I'm sitting here a bit puzzled as to WHY someone would want a drone that goes up the toilet. Does it have anything to do with fatbergs?

I've been reading about an awful lot of incidents similar to this lately, people who just flew off the chain and killed people over little shit, like just recently in Georgia four were shot, including the gunman, and one store clerk died because a customer was asked to put on a fucking mask, there was the road rage incident in California where a 5-6 year old boy was shot and died in the backseat of a car, there's more, but listing all of them would be draining, there was the religious guy in Georgia who went through shooting up Asian massage parlors in Georgia because of his "sex addiction"...

Maybe I'm late to the party but it would seem we need to rethink a few things about the right to bear arms.

What the actual fuck? I suppose it's a good thing he never had a case of "work rage".

Supposedly there's a 330 million ton, half a mile fatberg somewhere under the UK they're dealing with. Gross. I'd never heard of a fatberg until I read this thread.

There is really nothing more horrible than a fatberg, and the fact that there is a 330 Mn ton one in existence gives me peace and contentment.

Apparently it's in the sewers stopping up a river of shit and is made up of stuff more than just fat and grease, but like, feminine hygiene products, wet-wipes, diapers, and whatever else you can force down a toilet with enough plunging. Apparently there's a team of folks who deal with this stuff as it arises. I do not envy them, though I do hope they are well-paid.

Yeah, no need to stress the genius at work, this epic takes a long time to compose.

This is the only reason I still check these forums. Looking forward to more posts.
