Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Here in Finland we have a strong recommendation from the government that everyone should have enough supplies to last 72 hours. There's guides available on what to have, how to do it and what to take into consideration. It's far easier for everyone if something big happens (storm, flood, war, problems with electricity/water grid...) to the rescue workers if the whole population isn't in an emergency after few hours. I think that's becoming more and more important globally as the climate changes and global environment gets more and more unstable.

Can you share that guide? I'm interested in what's recommended.

Iodine tablets?

That's easier said than done btw, like yeah stockpiling some long lasting cans of food is easy and even if you forget them they'll probably still be ok to eat but really what you want is to rotate that pantry so it has somewhat fresh stuff at all times. You also need water, which really is the Biggie here if the tap stops working. Of course also stuff for cooking/heating up if you have no gas or electricity into the house.

Yeah but at least I have an offline library of films and TV on my server

I sure hope that offline library works well without power.
