@evan many options for nutritional completeness. Pharmacy, optician. TP.
Basic building materials are lacking, but there are inferior options for basic shelter, like a clamshell of hottub liners.
Certainly no reason to die from living a strict Kirkland lifestyle. Do I want to? Not really.
1+ years.

evan@cosocial.ca you can do anything if you have Costco at your disposal.
I'm pretty sure in the States you could probably buy a rifle and hunt your own food too š

@evan Good thing they have a pharmacy.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I thought about this when I was at Costco earlier this week. There's a lot of different categories of products available, including packaged and fresh food, clothing, prescription and non-prescription drugs, and electronics. One thing I didn't see were a lot of home repair tools or supplies. I think for a while you could ignore small repair jobs, but eventually you're going to need to fix things. So, my response would be around six months.

Challenge: finire di aggiornare velocemente Pignio prima che si faccia cosƬ tardi da finire per dormire pure stanotte solo 4 ore š»

Il PC oggi sta di nuovo facendo i rumori infernali, ora siamo alla quinta volta stasera... Forse vuole dirmi di andare a dormire? PerĆ² ne dubito... credo che lui in primis voglia in realtĆ sopprimermi. š¤§

What Do You Call an Ekranoplan With an Outboard Motor?
If thereās one thing [rctestflight] likes, itāsā¦ probably radio controlled test flights. If there are two things [rctestflights] likes, the second one is probably ground-effect vehicles, AKA Ekranoplans. Tired of having them flip over and crash, heās trying an an innovative solution: stick a planing hull on it.
Ekranoplans have a stability problem because the center-of-pressure isnāt static: as the wing gets closer to the ground, the high pressure cushion of air that creates the ground effect tends to put more lift rearwards. The net effect of that is to torque the vehicle nose-down, which is kind of a self-limiting problem at a fraction of a wingspanās altitude. The opposite problem is more concerning: the higher the ekranoplan gets, the more it wants to nose up, and thereās nothing to stop it. That leads to the vehicle flipping over.
In this video, [rctestflight] takes a few stabs at trying to solve the stability problemā he starts with a flat planing hull on the nose, with the idea that the vehicle will be nose-heavy enough to ride serenely over the water. Water isnāt actually flat, though, and the nose bumping over the waves wasnāt able to do what he wanted. He then switches to a feeler that is to ride on-surface to adjust the pitch of the nose-mounted propellersāup if it pokes the water, down if it canātā to provide passive pitch stabilization. That does work at some airspeeds, but produces a predictable porpoising effect, even with an elastic band for damping. That design might show promise with more refinement, but if youāre using something to give altitude feedback, it might as well be lidar.
The next iteration of the design places a pair of hydro-screw propellers on the nose, for all the world like a pair of outboard motors. Weāre not even sure what to call the resulting vehicle, but āmore stableā is unfortunately not it. It doesnāt seem to fly any worse, mind you, but certainly not well enough to justify the complexity, especially once he goes down the rabbit hole of adding suspension to the motors.
Ultimately he ends up refining the planning hull into a V-shape, since a V-hull can cut the waves and give a smoother ride than a flat-bottomed boat. We canāt help but agree with [rctestflight] that the standard configuration of a long hull and large horizontal stabilizer is likely the way to go, since the whole point of a ground-effect vehicle is to avoid the energy cost associated with skipping over waves. Still, itās hard to deny that these prototypes are hacks, and we appreciate the brief lesson in aerodynamics he provides in the video.
Given some of the other projects heās tackled, weāre kind of disappointed he didnāt try a hydrofoil.

Potrebbe essere dannoso! Sullāutilizzo di spyware contro compagni e compagne
@anarchia
Riceviamo e diffondiamo: POTREBBE ESSERE DANNOSO! Nellāultimo periodo abbiamo visto un aumento nellāutilizzo di spyware contro politici, aziende, avvocati e attivisti. Abbiamo motivo di credere che simili dispositivi si stiano diffondendo anche nel corso di indagini condotte
