Cold,but warming up, clear and dry.<\/p>\n
Yesterday stayed cool after a very cold start.\u00a0 It was dry but so cool, stuff didn’t really dry out.\u00a0\u00a0 Today it’s coming down no matter what.\u00a0 Time to get the yard decor in.<\/p>\n
Spent most of yesterday afternoon driving around for pickups.\u00a0 Got a couple of gub accessories, a major piece of our ongoing bathroom project, and gallons of hand sanitizer.\u00a0 Some other cleaning and plumbing stuff too.<\/p>\n
My dog is looking a bit better.\u00a0\u00a0 We’ve been jamming food into him whenever he’ll eat.\u00a0 He was pretty perky when the chicken breast came out for his dinner tonight, but he is spending most of his time sleeping or just lying down.\u00a0 His two repaired knee joints can’t be feeling great with the cold and damp, mine certainly don’t.\u00a0 Pain killers seem to be in order, but my wife isn’t seeing outward signs of pain and she’s worried about drug interactions so today I hope she’ll get the reassurance she needs from the vet.<\/p>\n
I wish there was someone I could call and get some assurance the country will even make it to the inauguration.\u00a0 They are moving VERY fast to tie up their ‘win’ and shut down opposition before it can really get going.\u00a0\u00a0 They definitely don’t want Trump around as a rallying point or gadfly for the next four years.\u00a0\u00a0 They want him tied up, locked up, or buried.\u00a0 The absolute perfect setup for a false flag attack is coming up and I’m very concerned.\u00a0 They are already laying the groundwork.<\/p>\n
The tech companies are lining up to serve their new masters.\u00a0 Go Daddy should be treated like a landlord, along with all the other registrars and hosts.\u00a0 It should be illegal for them to discriminate, if it’s not already.\u00a0 AR15.com was just the first, they won’t be the last.\u00a0\u00a0 Go Daddy is my personal registrar and host, and I need some advice on someone solid to use instead.\u00a0 I’ve got stuff renewing soon that I would like to move.\u00a0 It sucks because I’ve been a fan of theirs since they started outside of Tempe AZ all those years ago, and a customer for over a decade.\u00a0 I have several inactive domains, one work domain with email, one family domain with hosted WP site (that could go away if the domain stayed.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The business domain and email are the most important things to me.\u00a0 I would like to hang on to all the domains, but I’m getting tired of paying for privacy.\u00a0 Most are .com, with a couple variations to protect my name and business name.\u00a0 I just registered the flandrey domains as backup, and now I need to move them.\u00a0 FFS.<\/p>\n
I see a real lack of contingency planning around a Trump loss on the right.\u00a0 Doesn’t inspire confidence.\u00a0 The Republican party reaction doesn’t surprise me at all though.\u00a0 Trump was never a party Republican.\u00a0 They never wanted him and can’t wait to get rid of him.\u00a0 He threatened a lot of rice bowls (hah, see what I did to amuse you, china! FTW!)\u00a0 Just how many of our congressmen and business\u00a0 leaders are married or shacked up with chinese women anyway?<\/p>\n
If people do push back, and someone will, it’s going to get REALLY ugly real quick.\u00a0 Too many 3 letters are already corrupted and working against conservatives (remember the IRS and charitable status?).\u00a0\u00a0 The rest will jump on the bandwagon if it gets going.\u00a0 That won’t be fun.<\/p>\n
Priorities should be having the basics to cover an extended period of disruptions.\u00a0 In EVERY account I’ve read of war or prolonged conflict, the people end up eating grass because they’ve eaten everything else.\u00a0 After food, water, meds, and defense, comms are going to be an issue.\u00a0 Samizdat is going to be making a comeback, albeit in new forms.\u00a0 Beyond that, I can’t really say.\u00a0 Everything technological is subject to eavesdropping, well poisoning, and the equivalent of direction finding.\u00a0\u00a0 There are a lot of clever people out there and something will rise to the surface.\u00a0\u00a0 If you think I’m nuts, I’ve got literally a page of headlines from this week alone that suggest otherwise, so you’ll have to do more than make assertions.\u00a0 I was listening to NPR on the radio while driving around and even THEY can see that a civil war is imminent.<\/p>\n
I’m continuing with my life as normal, kids’ school, house remodel, ebay sales, because going dark is just as telling as going active.\u00a0 I’ve always done my prepping alongside my normal life anyway.\u00a0 And there is no point in shutting down-the internet archives, and the three lette r s have been hoovering up data the whole time.<\/p>\n
We’re barely two weeks into 2021 and it’s already insane.\u00a0 Avoid crowds.\u00a0 Don’t get on the bus.\u00a0\u00a0 Stack it high and deep, and in more than one place.<\/p>\n
