Interesting article in dailymail.co.uk about preppers in the UK

Post by Jan Panteltje
Middle-class mums, an academic, a crime writer - they are all preparing for WW3 by hoarding food and practising survival skills.
And say YOU should do the same

BTW an other piece of iron came lose on a Boeing engine at teke-off..

Why is it relevant that women are prepping? I don't see how that matters.

As for the boeing, all I have seen about that is that it was a bad
maintenance job and that a mechanic forgot/missed to fasten the engine
cover and that it was not Boeing fault this time. But that is not how
the media works. ;)

I have been reading and posting on the Usenet about survival topics and
related matters almost since its beginning with misc.survivalism.
Eventually misc.survivalism started to «degrade» and became heavily
«contaminated» by all sorts of useless parasites and their off topic
posts. The survivalists then, preppers now, opted to create a new
survivalist group i.e. alt.survival. Presently alt.survival has degraded
even worse than misc.survivalism had in the past when survivalists
ceased mostly to use it. In my view any on-topic survival or survival
related post is a positive step towards restoring things as they were. I
for one, found Jan's post interesting and on topic. Even an article with
erroneous or incomplete information is good because it provides an
opportunity for discussion and dissemination of pertinent information.

Your point is well taken. Speaking of survival. The car in this video
made a wrong guess as what to do when rocks started tumbling across a
Taiwan highway during the latest earthquake.

I guess the driver's mistake is understandable...Luckily judging from
the tube, he or she probably survived. Reminds all of us that defensive
driving instruction is a good idea.

I realize upon viewing the video a third time that the car in front of
the dash cam car is blocked in and trapped by the car behind it with the
camera and probably would have gone unscathed had it been able to
continue backing up.

I wonder if Taiwan has any nuclear power plants to worry about melting
down in a China Syndrome way. I know the silicon chip manufacturing
plants depend on a continuous flow of electricity in order to
continuously operate. If forced to shut down, a significant amount of
time is needed to restart the process at great cost in lost production
for the industry.

Taiwan does operate nuclear plants but they are situated at the
geoghraphical extremities of the island:

The epicenter of the quake and its aftershocks were located more at the
center of the island along the eastern shore:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/04/02/world/asia/map-taiwan-earthquake-hualien.html

That being said, Taiwan is situated on the same fault/plate as Fukushima
Japan. I imagine the lessons of Fukushima must not have fallen on deaf
ears...

The description is a lot more dramatic than the book. The protagonist is a
prepper -- sort of. I wouldn't say it's a comedy of errors since there is
nothing comedic about it but it would be a good read for the new preppers.
He has freeze dried foods, but not enough and some aren't very palatable.
He has a generator but wasn't prepared for the fuel consumption. He has
firearms but left one at his brother's by mistake. The Tesla is DOA when
the lights go out and his other high end ride makes him a target.

All in all it's more realistic than some of the novels with a "Marty Stu"
protagonist.
