I like this idea in concept. However in most cases failure is mostly due to power loss. So unless these seprate systems have different power sources it might not protect from catastrophy that much.

As some one who does aquaponics at home. Here are some things ive learned which you might consider.

  • There is a minimum physical footprint that these systems use, especially if you are trying to conserve power. So it might make more sense to max out those systems in that minimum footprint.
  • Different fish can have very different temperature and pH requirements.
  • The pH and temp that the fish like isn't always what a plant wants.
  • some fish have much greater ranges of pH and temp requirements than others.
  • if indoors, it's easy for a pest to establish. Like aphids will trive without ladybugs or green lacewings.
  • Vegetables grown in aquaponic systems simply do not taste as good as vegetables grown in soil. Often they are lacking flavor.
  • something about the water in an aquaponic system is excellent for propagation from plant cuttings.

For these reasons, I use aquaponics more as a backup and complimentary grow system to my no till regenative garden. Having an indoor system is great in the winter if you want leafy greens or to proprpgate trees for the next season.

But, you know if a business changes to dynamic pricing and their next quarterly numbers shows that the vast majority of people didn't swallow it, and revenue is hugely down, they would undo it in a second.

You would be right if we assume that

  1. The people leading these companies are making informed data driven decisions.
  2. Companies majorly made money through selling goods/services

However once a company is a certain size or in the correct position it's more about showing a growth potential to investors, then actually proffiting from selling goods/services. Investors is really how these companies make money now. I'm not an economist so I'm not sure if this is still technically capitalism when the majority of profits come straight from investors but to me it sounds much more like a ponzi scheme.

My point being is that in a best case scenario, a nationwide boycott could take place and a company makes $0 gross income. But they can still profit if they can convince their investors that they are taking the right steps to position themselves in "this new economy". Now realistically someone is still going to buy their products and any boycott effort will just have minor effects. The absolute worst case scenario for anyone actually in charge of making decisions like this at a large company is they get a golden parachute and hop over to another place.

Just like you said, why would they turn down free money?

I also like that the only type of MFA that all 3 agencies implement is text/phone call. Cause likes there's nonway someone could spoof a phone number and then unfreeze your credit.

OK but have you ran x11 on Ubuntu inside WSL from the Windows terminal?

WSL is the only way I'll use Windows for work.

Thank you for this. It might be beyond my capabilities but I'm going to give this a serious read.

That sounds nice. But what happens if all communication is cut during an emergency of some kind. How do you check if your friends and family are safe. How would you organize to help your community?

To be fair, Finn is a throwaway character despite decent acting. Not important to the plot really at all. The same can be said for most of the characters in the movie.

Moreover, the whole movie is something that should be thrown away, but not forgotten. It needs to be archived as an entry in the museum of the failures of Disney.

 

What are your backup plans for an internet and telecom shutdown?

I don't believe trusting in satilite internet companies (especially one owned by a fascist) are very practical.

Outside of radio and ad-hoc networks however, I'm not sure what other options would be feasible for the average person that wanted to prepare for something like this.

I second magic earth for driving. The only reason I haven't entirely removed Google maps from my phone yet is because magic earth doesn't have data on business hours. This is the last killer feature I'm waiting for.

In the meantime I'm routing for any open source map that can do live traffic and business info.

Try to have some empathy. That poor brain eating worm starved to death.

My wife and I don't have Disney+ either. We watched the first season of mando and were like....ehhh, let's rewatch Star Trek.

 

I love Jellyfin. I did think these recommendations were a bit funny however since they were so off.

Maybe the recommendations need to also look at the movies mpaa rating? Like something PG shouldn't be recommended after watching an R and especially not vice versa.

I guess it becomes complex quickly if you want to add other rating systems to the mix.

 

I was shopping for a new scythe blade when I found this beautiful and incredibly long competition scythe blades.

In the video, they seem to be judged not just on time but also on how well the area is mowed. I find this fascinating.
