I think you can go a step further: During the hard times, that's when old morality is the most important. Frugality, hard work, working together, not harming your neighbors, and above all not coming up with some bullshit that's going to actively hurt you it's all really important at all times but when times are hard you don't have the extra resources to spend on something that isn't beneficial.
We can only afford to try new stuff that's probably wrong when there's enough excess that we won't die by getting it wrong. That's why the baby boomer generation, the generation born into the most material wealth of all time, also made the most changes of all time.

One thing with straws is rather than going with the paper straws that make everyone miserable, why not just go with pla straws that are created from cornstarch, are compostable, and don't dissolve into nothing leaving you flaccid and disappointed?
We can't stop here, this is scholar country.
Poor bastard. He'd see them soon enough.

Soon it'll be too late...

For instances that want some ddos protection, both nginx and apache have modules that help protect against ddos. There's also options like syn cookies.
I've said many times before: There's nobody coming to save us. We can only save ourselves.

According to various sources, oil has *always* had about a 20 year supply left. (incredible to see an article like this on gizmodo, but it's before the dark times)

Important thing to note is there's already a season 2. I was pretty much expecting a really disappointing thing when I realized it was only 12 episodes, but it's actually decent and comes full circle in a lot of ways. Really wants to tell the Trigun Maximum stories.
I've been reading through a kids bible with my son and trying to understand the stories as we go. I'm not very religious, but the stories are very interesting and multi-layered in the themes they express.
In Jeremiah 24, Judah had been conquered by Babylon, and many of the people of Judah were captured and taken back to Babylon. Jeremiah was shown two baskets of figs by God, and God said that the two baskets represented the two groups of people who stayed in Judah and those who were taken to Babylon. God said that the people who were taken to Babylon would know suffering and they would learn to follow God's teachings, but the people who stayed in Judah were like the bad figs, and they would ultimately be destroyed.
The thing I was trying to understand from an allegorical standpoint is why it's the people who were captured that are the good figs. Maybe it's because they suffered and they went through the journey and it's through their journey and their struggle that they will be equipped for the future, and they'll get the wisdom through that suffering to know they need to follow God's teachings?
The one thing I didn't get is... Did God choose the people who would be brought into captivity, or was it random? Or does it not really matter and the story isn't about that, and sometimes allegories contain things you shouldn't think too hard about?
In a literal sense, if God chose certain people to be taken to Babylon and certain people to stay behind, it sort of seems like a dick move -- like whether you had a chance for redemption would be totally random.
This sounds odd, but I read bible stories from a more secular viewpoint, where God is an allegorical vehicle for following morality, and those who follow god follow morality and those who do not follow god do not follow a robust morality. In that view, it's a more complicated thing to think about. In one viewpoint though, maybe it suggests that we shouldn't hate those who are immoral totally because sometimes the difference between a moral and immoral person is simply the journey they've travelled. If it was truly random, then the people who went through the tribulation of slavery in Babylon becoming more moral thereby wasn't their choice ultimately so while they ultimately made the right choice, you should recognize that they just as easily have made the wrong choice had their experiences been different.

Totally a result of a decadent system that isn't required to successfully achieve anything real. As long as it distributes money to the maximum number of states to placate congress and the senate, it never has to be a usable weapon or practical when in a state of war.
One thing with proven reserves is that they can be deceptive. It's only worth proving reserves so far. It's expensive to prove reserves, and even if you think they're definitely there, that expense to prove they are there only makes sense to actually prove them if there's a reason to do so -- if you're trying to get investment dollars, you only need to justify enough to get your initial investment and enough to stay in business. There are some mines for example that start off with a 8-10 year mine life and run for maybe 50-100 years because they just keep proving more resources every year, but each year the official proven reserves remain 8-10 years until the place closes.
So it's a limited non-renewable resource with a clear environmental impact on extraction and utilization and when we do start to run out there's going to be global consequences in many industries that people don't even understand yet because its use is so prolific, but we have to be careful about using certain numbers because accurate predictions are important to getting long-term buy-in on stuff like this. Consistently predict wrong, and people start to assume the prediction is fundamentally wrong when it's only wrong in the specific details.

Based on the references in issue 1, it's probably 2002, so the 4 issues would have been released between 2002 and 2004.

It's a pretty common story in remote locations where some City slicker will come in, see the pepper spray bear repellent, and assume that it works the same way as mosquito repellent and blast themselves all over this the face with it. I guess this is what that looks like.
There are even busses that don't rely on batteries whatsoever. Cities just mount overhead wires over bus routes and then run the busses off of grid power. They've been available for 80 years! Unlike most electric vehicle technologies they've already been proven in the most extreme weather environments on earth.
I speak often about technologies that won't make anyone rich but we could deploy today. We don't need to do any new research, we don't need to create new patents to lock it away under one company that makes all the money, we don't need to give a trillion dollars to a bet that's always just a few more years away. We can just build the things, and have the things, and enjoy the dividends of having a public good.
