A firehall?

Well, there are better ways to protect yourself in the event of an earthquake. But, that's not the point: we're talking about how earthquake drills were just rebadged nuclear attack drills.

Well you are.

Anyone who's ever been in an earthquake knows you ain't eating snacks if you're stuck under rubble. Also, school desks don't offer much protection from rubble either.

That has "fallout shelter rations" all over it.

Earthquake bags? Never hear of that before.

You don't feel like you're one of us?

The point is the same. The drills never went away no matter where they were, and it was obvious what they were actually for because they didn't really address the catastrophe they were purported to be responding to.

It was mostly converted to "earthquake drills" by the '70s. The purpose changed as the Cold War fizzled out, but the drill itself never really changed.

Yeah, I can't remember his alts either from that era.

Stupid autocorrect.

I always knew you were fancy.

I wish to hear more about your thought process behind creating that peculiar mashup.

Well, getting out of Berkley or even California is fine. That being said, there are plenty of places in state where you can go without meeting people and that aren't on the PCT. Pretty much anything east of the Sierras is a no-man's land.

Happy Birthday to the first ever poster in the ASMB's history.

It looks like someone is bringing DF drama into a perfectly legitimate birthday shout out thread. So disgusting.

You want to be away from people that know you not away from everybody. When I say exposed, I mean in the sense that you have no recourse in the event of a health emergency. It's fine you're not afraid of that, but it's still an unreasonable risk for someone trying to distsnce herself from people rather than trying to reach out to people. You certainly will have to think for yourself and be resourceful, but you won't be able to act on your own which is what you're really aiming for.

I would say no. If backpacking is your escape, doing it here is your better option. Going out of country or to a country where you're not likely to blend in with locals is going to leave you somewhat exposed.

Very nice. I'd buy that. But, fanless CPUs are always doomed to fail, especially now that CPUs are getting more comprehensive.

They look nice.

It's like ten years old, and it's shaped like a black trash can.

My mac has some kind of glitch where one of the background routines is duplicating itself and hogging (heh) the memory. It's probably destroying my RAM, but, on the plus side, it's turning my Mac into a great space heater.

Typical Imperialist American Asshole.

I sense a pending asshole revolution.

Wait... What happens if your asshole can't talk?
