unless you had lanolin allergy (sheep fat) an LC was tolerable but mutton was like: OMG why would anyone eat this let alone raise entire herds of these sweaters?

They're the experimental Control.

Legend is that they have a contract with the Pope to leave them alone.

They can either cut all of the lines or just jam frequency spectrums. The average citizen isn't aware of or prepared for what the Millie Tarry is capable of.

I like Prehistoric Just Us.

Aren't you sweet?

You can always use nail polish remover if you want unsticking.

I can't. It is toxic, unlike being stuck with you.

You were definitely missed. Going Amish is not so bad, it gives you time to catch up on all the chit you were ignoring for so long. You know, like feeding the dog, checking the mailbox and the dreaded yard work, lol 😂.

I don't know, girl...

It's the shaved moustache that gets me. I mean how would I ever have an aftertaste of the soup I had for lunch if I shaved my moustache? It's a tough call.

You need a PACE plan Patrick, like the special operation if the USMIL use. Primary, alternate contingency, emergency plan. Shortwave isn't a bad idea but if you've got amateur radio or what's known as ham radio repeaters near you or you want to set up your own powerful repeater you can talk to people all over the world pretty cheap these days without having to go the shore waiver route. I'm guessing you don't have Wi-Fi but if you did you could use a system like Zello which a lot of people are using now as an alternative. There's also cellular or Bluetooth mesh networks if you have any neighbors that happen to have cellular or Bluetooth enabled cell devices. Back to the ham radio thing there's a brand called bail Fang that I got for Christmas a couple years ago from my wife, they're Chinese of course and their cheap shite and they're probably loaded full of spyware but you can pick up an old uv5r5 watt bail Fang handset these days for $20 they're practically giving them away.

By all means keep this discussion going. I brought up short wave because some of us were considering web-based communications but our view was that they would take the commercial end of the internet down to sow confusion while keeping the military (and probably the dark web) open.

It does make you look rugged when it's -78F windchill and you've got icicles on them...

wait I haven't seen weather like that since 1978...

I don't know if beards are good for Climb At Change or not.
