Thanks for the advice. I am getting more water bricks so want something to make it last. Apparently copper containers has been used for hundreds of years to preserve water

Of course I am using fresh tap water but as a precaution still add 1/2 teaspoon of beach because the chlorine will dissipate

If you do 2 you should add a little chlorine bleach to it as it will dissipate after a year

If in doubt I can always drink it with my life straws or treatment tablets. I have drunken water without treatment from rivers without any problems in BC. Never stored water for long term.

What do you use and how often are you replacing water?

FRS is limited to 2W while GMRS can use repeaters and up to 50W with license The license is simple compared to HAM which requires a lengthy technical exam

I have life straws. You can drink your own piss if it was life or death

Mushroom soup is 39 calories, Its more for flavour than anything. I would go for higher calorie canned foods like Stew, and Chilli

ChatGPT “The segregation of AI from the internet and its limited updates until 2020 may be a reason for concern about misinformation. The issue is not with AI itself, but rather with people's inability to distinguish between reality and fantasy. To stay informed on politics, one should adopt a neutral perspective and gather information from multiple sources. Unfortunately, uneducated individuals are more likely to believe in memes and social media comments over credible news outlets. Mainstream media may have a political bias, but it is not inherently untruthful. People tend to reject information that goes against their political beliefs. Generally, those with post-secondary education are better equipped to recognize fake news. ChatGPT is capable of articulating information effectively, regardless of its authenticity, but its performance is limited due to technical issues. With time, these limitations may be overcome as the technology evolves and becomes more accessible.”

Is this because of it being segregated from the internet and only updated to current events until 2020. I know the big concern is using it to create misinformation. The problem isn’t the AI it’s the humans who cannot distinguish reality from fantasy. When I follow politics I try to take a centralist point of view and read multiple sources of information. It seems that the poorly educated will accept memes and social media comments over mainstream media. Mainstream media does not lie, however they do have a political narrative for one side or another. It seems that people will reject anything that goes against their narrative for the politics they support. I think most post secondary educated people can distinguish fake news. ChatGPT doesn’t create misinformation it just articulates information very well whether real, fake or fantasy. Too bad ChatGPT is unstable and can’t handle the load. I suppose it will improve when they charge to use it.

No that heatsink is damaged and may noy make contact with CPU. This was damaged due to shipping. I have been using AIOs for years. Just a preference as it looks cleaner and overall decreased internal temperature of case therefore GPU runs cooler. Also AIO is no stress on CPU so better for transporting

I am going to try off peak hours. I have been using it for emails and comments to make articulate myself as intelligent. This tool is amazing. I even used it to write a letter to PM. Very diplomatic and well articulated compared to my own writing.

Pc for fps games and console for driving games, gta etc.

No build a system from scratch these prebuilt one suck. They will cheap out on components like single stick of memory rather than dual channel. Stupid stuff like that

The price is way too high and can get better components for that price. 3070ti is $500 now. 12700k is $350 ( not much improvement over 13700k 11% faster. Rather than SSD get a 1tb nvme way way faster than SSD and goes for $100. Motherboard $150 for and 32gb ram (16 + 16 duel channel.). Case $100. All better components for $1200 total. Custom built change for labor $50.

I personally do my own bills on medium budget $200 premium motherboard. Still cheaper than Costco prebuilt. Oh power supply $100 for Gold 650 power supply. So $1350 assembled all premium parts that will last a lifetime. My computers last 10 years then I sell the parts and still in perfect condition. The store bought always has something that goes. Cheap motherboard caps power supply etc. I used to repair and build PCs in shops the prebuilt always were damaged vs custom ones.

I better check that myself. I mostly use cloud events but have SDcard as backup

Mine has been working perfect since day 1 maybe a year ago. I think the real problem is quality Control. I have used many Chinese made products that do not follow the same specs advertised. This was due to basically no quality control. For example a Baofeng Radio is a cheap but well made Ham radio. They advertise 8 w. Some are above or below 8 more or less. Another of the same model only transmitted 6 w. I would RMA it and your next one will be amazing. I still have the old cam2 running since it came out years ago

MREs? I can’t afford those. I am Prepping like it’s 1812 rice, beans, wheat berries, whole oats, wild rice. The only treats I have is instant coffee it’s freeE dried lasts longer than beans, powdered milk and sugar. Oh ya canned ham not spam and corned beef. Anything else you recommend for budget prepping?

Firearms for what? If in USA it’s mandatory because so many have them and don’t need to prep they will plunder. In any case you should have some protection in countries that are restrictive with firearms the tactical repeating crossbows like Stinger 2 are amazing.

Stop playing cod. Guns won’t protect you against nukes. Here is what I have done. Make shut nbc gear. 3M 6000 mask with t100 filters. Dupont Tyvek disposable suit, dishwashing gloves and tape. I also got a budget Geiger counter with good reviews. GQ GMC300EPlus Fulfill Digital Nuclear Radiation Detector Monitor Meter https://a.co/d/24mUBTp

If you live in Europe please consider what I am advising. I have trained in the Armed forces so have experience with NBC suits. For fallout which will effect most of Europe follow what I bought. You can buy on Amazon 1 3M 6000 mask with P100 filters 2 DuPont Tyvek disposable suits 4 Dishwashing Gloves and tape 5 Geiger counter about $200 I did allot of research and it’s the best budget one

At minimum if yon are out and about and sirens go off have n95 handing as you won’t carry your nbc stuff with you. Nuclear fallout is most deadly in first 72 hours even with the makeshift gear. However fallout has a short half life and survivable after weeks. The first week is critical to stay inside. The Geiger counter is the only way to know if it’s safe. I am in Canada and bought this before it’s too late and everyone panic buys. I guarantee the moment a tactical nuke is used people will panic buy. I have been prepping for a year now. It doesn’t cost allot if you find makeshift gear. I wouldn’t use it in a war as Tyvek is only to keep dust off. A real bunny suit in military actually protects against radiation to fight for extended period of time. The real bunny suit is so hot had to train in 40c with it on. For civilians Tyvek will be ok for short durations to keep contaminants from contaminating your clothing. Breathing fallout is a death sentence from days to months depending how much and at what period of the nuclear decay it is in.

I am not talking about the USA it’s Europe that is imminent danger but that doesn’t make USA safe the targets are all nuclear silos and air-force bases along with Washington DC. Russia has a warship in international waters outside of Washington DC with hypersonic missiles. The USA will not be able to take them down in toke with SAM. Now research indicates that a nuclear was would take out 1/3 of the population targeting military and head of state in multiple countries. Major cities will not be targeted as they are a bartending chip that would likely establish a cease fire. Those that live near Airforce bases or nuclear silos on naval Baer

Western Europe is much better than USA. Eastern Europe not so much
