You'd be surprised how a pokemon go player will open the app in the middle of the wilderness, even with one questionable reception bar, just to see if there's a secret rare pokemon that lives there. Bonus if you get a postcard from a pokestop someone submitted, because that trail mile marker is "special." You can keep it for memories, or send it to a friend you've never spoken to, for bragging rights. It's also not unheard of, for people to crawl through backroads in their car, since the app won't let catch pokemon or count km's, if you go more than +-15 mph.

Yeah, well...

Happened once, doesn't mean it's can't happen again. No matter how unlikely, this time.

They think this guys plan is happening. If you dig deeper into his ideology, you'll see part of the plan is a bunch of city-states run by corporations.

Nadella just wants a city-state all to himself.

Edit: Theres even a couple behind the bastards episodes on this guy. The VP is a follower of this idealogy. I'm honestly confused as to why hardly anyone is talking about this yet.

Pre-covid Musk quit Trumps presidential councils over "withdrawal of the Paris climate accord." If nothing else, theres a possibility, I guess...

Depends on how the bird flu feels about that...

Yet, after the election.

But, yes, it happened under Biden's presidency, Biden should get the credit.

As the hikers say. Cotton kills...it retains water (sweat / rain / snow) and ends up being less insulating, making you susceptible to hypothermia and making the layer heavier. Typically the base layer is there to wick water away from your skin, and the mid layer is there to keep you warm. Any temp under 40f, is considered a no go, with cotton, if your hiking.

Looking at clothing recommendations, here, and here for runners, it seems if it's under 30f, they tend to stay away from cotton. Note: Obviously these people are also selling expensive clothing, whats important is the fabric type, not the brand name. Even if your not at risk of hypothermia, the cold constricts your muscles, making them tighter, which apparently is not great for running.

To answer your question, as long as it's not Kari Tra brand wools, (esp the thin ones, get holes, practically immediately, for no reason. The mid weights are better, but not by much) imo, as a hiker not a runner, i would say they should hold up for at least a season, with proper care. Especially, if your wearing something more slippery like polyester over them. Wool definitely breaks apart due to friction. Even wools Ive gotten to wear under work clothes, only last a couple years max, before they start to wear in some choice areas. If you value your wools though, I would find some polyester / synthetic base / mid layers, especially if you are running on a regular basis.

Tldr: if your running in freezing temps don't wear cotton. If you value your wools, get a polyester / synthetic base and mid layer. Also, maybe check out REI brand for some cheaper wool layers.

My "not an HOA," HOA would kick me to the curb. Also, the wildlife, and the local thieves, would steal it all.

Sounds like a lovely dream, though.

 

These are just examples, I have no opinion on what is the best.

Something like: I like the cameras from the Galaxy s23, the processor from the latest Pixel, the memory from the Razor. I mean whatever. I suppose Iphones could be included, but I figure it's more locked in than androids, I could be wrong.

Or even replacing a part from one phone with one that's better, for personal use? Like, even just putting pixel 7 cameras into a pixel 8 phone.

Besides the factory warrenty, and money spent, is it software? Is it having to reconfigure the hardware? Is it just space in general?

If we all have things we don't like about our phones, why aren't we able to just make it more to our liking?

 

Im talking worst case scenario, something like Station 11 or the movie Contagion

If the bird flu started spreading rapidly from human to human, and it devastated our population as it can in birds or marine life, how long would one have to hole up in seclusion before the virus burned through the population and it would probably be safe to come out.

Obviously, this is not the current situation, and this scenario is a long way from becoming any type of reality. This is just a hypothetical. If turds hit the fan, I dont want to waste time trying to figure this out in the moment while everyone's ill, and can't answer.

Move over B's, I want first dibs on the tp!

Edit: I'm not thinking of a flu, as it behaves in the human population as we know it. I'm talking like zombie virus, without the worry of reanimation. Like, pretty much, everyone that catches it, dies, and it spreads fast and stealthily enough that the end result is a drastically lower population of survivors. How long would a person have to stay isolated to outlive the worst of it.
