  5. Things that helped me survive Helene:

    Not living in a hurricane alley.

    Things that were worthless during Helene:

    People living in a hurricane alley inexplicably not being prepared to survive after a hurricane.

    Feel free to flip that at me when Califrutopia has a big earthquake.
    Because I've already prepared for that. :P

    1. Oh do tell. When your house becomes uninhabitable. Just like 200,000+ of your closest friends. Your generator makes you a target. Sure, you've carefully hidden the jerry cans of fuel. It'll take hours of avoiding the raging yahoos just to get to the airport to fly out on the aircraft you don't have. Drive out from anywhere within a fifty mile radius of the epicenter, lolz. Of course, you don't have be in that zone; them who were are rolling up on you.

      The actual quake is nothing compared to the tsunami of idiots rolling over you. That's day two. Thirty to 120 days left on that calendar. Even the roof top Koreans needed a roof to work from. What do you have?
      No man is an island, P'shaw, you'll prove them wrong. Who needs luck when you're the master of light and dark.

    2. All you had to do was show some sympathy to Carolina. Somehow, that's beneath you.

    3. Funny, I didn't see anyone asking for sympathy.
      She was touting her self-reliance and preparations.
      Huzzah.

      "Uninhabitable"?
      Been through two major earthquakes.
      Didn't happen either time.

      If it does, a generator is nearly worthless.

      And you're conflating an earthquake with the zombie apocalypse.
      The two are not interchangeable.
      Roving bands afterwards? History - going back thousands of years - says nope. Not even once.

      And where I need to get to can be done on foot. Maybe even by bicycle.
      No airports.
      Minimal roads.
      Doable cross country, including forestry roads.
      One doesn't have to be the master of light and dark.
      Just the master of not being stupid, and planning ahead.

      You wanna posit a 9.0 on the San Andreas, 50-100 miles away?
      Even easier.
      90% of the problem will be dead in the first minute or five.
      Single-story homes are minimally impacted.
      Most of The Diversity you're thinking about?
      Miles and miles from here.
      In a world where everyone's on foot?
      I'll never see them, and my routes out don't pass through their neighborhoods.

  6. I feel for those folks, their homes wrecked, the invasive systemic corruption of a government controlled by total maniacs and psychopaths, does not help people living free and self supporting, if anything the ordeals those unfortunate people are going thru are exacerbated five fold. It is truly disgusting how those crazy nut jobs within fema acted, it is totally utterly unacceptable, aside from fema used as an enormous money laundering organization, stealing billions for use to promote a wicked agenda. And using white Americans as boogey men, it is really the worst of all evils and these people who lost so much suffer due to that gross disgusting agenda. Disgusting beyond words such animals are provided such nasty hateful powers.

    1. FEMA's funds were spent sending arms to Ukraine and funding LGBT-xyz bull$hit in the Third Word. Oh! And don't forget the kickbacks that the libtard Congress critters got.

  7. Western North Carolina is probably as far as "hurricane alley" as one can get east of the Mississippi and until you are smack dab in the middle of "tornado alley" or "dumbass alley". We live on an active planet, s@#$ happens.

    Gasoline is great, diesel can be better. Saw a lot of cars with limited range/small fuel tanks on the side of the road, while diesel vehicles made multiple trips through the area, and could carry spare fuel in a safer manner as well. Propane/nat gas can also be great.

  8. And yet now Donie wants us all to buy "Teslers" (that is how he pronounces Tesla)!

    Remember when Trump was against anything electric?
    Now he shoots Tesla infomercials from the White House and maintains that it is illegal to boycott or protest Tesla dealerships! In his mind we are all required to buy Elons crappy cars.

    Remember when Trump was for freedom of speech?

    This guy flip-flops on every position he ever held with the same ease as he cheats on his wives.

  9. Whose free speech is he preventing?

    1. DJT says that the Tesla boycott is illegal and that protests at Tesla dealerships are domestic terrorism.

      https://san.com/cc/trump-says-tesla-attacks-could-be-considered-domestic-terrorism/

      Protests and boycotts are both forms of speech protected by the constitution. Vandalism is already a crime but nowhere near the level of domestic terrorism.
      It is funny that burning a car can be construed as domestic terrorism in DJT's mind but Jan 6 was "a day of love".

    2. Would somebody change this little gurlz heavily soiled diaper?

    3. Ghostsniper, you can insult the guy but you can't say he is wrong. Free speech is only real when you protect the speech you don't like.

  10. Buy what you want, it isn't illegal to say Tesla's suck, or that you prefer another manufacturer, or hate EV's. Freedom of speech, and all of that.

    Violent protests, damage or destruction of vehicles and dealerships as means of political dissent puts you in the criminal category.

    The current regime sees this, and doesn't subscribe to the theory that because you believe something, it automatically is fact, and everyone needs to agree with your point of view

    The forthcoming education for some of these folks is going to be epic, and is long overdue.

    The constant "free speech" arguments ignore the fact that these folks are committing criminal acts.

    I'm not a lawyer, and cannot speak on the intricacies of the terror statutes. Not sure they are the best approach. I do see that the protests and damage to Tesla dealerships has a political aspect to it.

    I do have to say that I'm not hating the current approach to things, after all of the bullshit pushed at us over the last 20 years.

    1. Arson is a crime. DEstruction of property is a crime. If anyone sets private property on fire or destroys anything that doesn't belong to them then they should go to jail.

      Boycotts and protests are protected free speech. It is not that hard to understand.

      If in the course of exercising your constitutionally protected free speech you also set a cybertruck on fire then police will take you to jail for burning the truck but not for saying that Elon is a nazi.

      Do you see the difference?
