  • Weird, I work and get bread and I’ve got one, and my family members all have one. And most forms of communication need at least two people last I checked.

    Is it our primary form of communication? No. But if cell towers go down we’re all within range of sending a text. If I lived in a city I’d definitely have one. It’s a stupid cheap insurance policy. But by all means, depend fully on your cell provider for communication.

    Here’s something fun for you: Look up Kessler syndrome. If we were to lose control of our satellite networks for 24 hours, there’s a 30% chance it causes a chain reaction to where we lose the ability to even launch satellites without first cleaning up all the space debris. That time window shrinks with each new launch.









  • Surveillance both overt and covert backed up off site and with battery backup. Guard dogs.

    Those two will make people pause. But let’s say someone says fuckit they’re coming in anyway. And you want more than your typical 2A stuff?

    There’s a lot you can do now with facial recognition and stepper motors. Chemical deterrence. Visual/thermal deterrence. Pretend you’re Kevin Mccallister.

    Above all that, be tight with your neighbors. Community, community, community.







  • Kubrick seems to fork most viewers down two paths. Especially Clockwork Orange.

    For one group he’s pretty singular at evoking certain emotions or feelings that are distinct to Kubrick. Clockwork Orange has its own unique discomfort or the Shining having a very particular flavor of dread.

    Others, those Kubrick theatrics take them right out of the moment. The twins in the hallway make you zig instead of zagging, and now you have this very serious movie trying to make you scared while taking the most obtuse route to that emotion.

    Both parties are equally wrong. Kubrick encoded the architecture of the overlying conspiracy at large into his films to open the general populace to the lie we all live this week on the Joe Rogan podcast.
