  • The risk tends to be hugely overblown.

    1: Use a VPN so your ISP can’t tattle on you for downloading things.

    2: Virus scan stuff you download before opening/running it.

    3: Keep good backups (you should be doing this anyway) so you can restore from backup if some kind of virus/malware manages to evade your virus scan.

    Do those three things, and the risk of downloading pirated shit will be incredibly low. (And streaming isn’t zero-risk, either. The streaming apps or the streaming files themselves could theoretically be compromised, after all.)










  • I’m not seeing a situation were being hacked would require a tent or gas mask.

    But if the chemical plant near you gets hacked, then you might be grateful to have a gas mask…

    But that kind of thing is highly dependent on location and your own personal risk profile. Personally, I do have gas masks for me and my girlfriend (old Polish military surplus that’s compatible with NATO filters, only about $30 each), but those are much more likely to be used for rioting/protesting than for emergency preparedness. Immunity to teargas and pepper spray sure is nice…

    (Though, actually, I did use it once in an emergency. A small kitchen fire started while we were on a walk. Put it out pretty easily with a fire extinguisher when we came back, but it was a pretty nasty smoky fire and filled the house with toxic-smelling smoke. We had two cats inside that I wanted to rescue, so I put on my gas mask to help find them. Once I found the gas mask and got it on, it was so much easier to see and breathe in the smoke. Which was good. One cat was quick and easy to find – came right to me. But the other cat had hidden in a pile of stuff in a corner and took quite a bit of effort to find – she was lethargic and weak when I finally found her, obviously suffering badly from smoke inhalation, but she recovered within a few minutes once I brought her outside into fresh air. For a couple days after that, we left all the windows open and lived in a travel trailer in the back yard instead, the cats as well. After that, the smell of smoke mostly cleared out, and we could move back in. I guess an RV in the back yard is also nice to have for emergency preparedness – it’s kind of an entire backup house when you need one.)






  • nutritional value of semen

    To summarize: to meet all your nutritional needs with semen, you’d need about 400ml per day to get 2000 calories. That’s between 80 and 130 normal human cumshots per day. However, if you were to go non-human, it might be different. A horse, for example, would only need 2 to 3 cumshots a day to fulfill your caloric needs.

    However, you’ll still need to supplement with some vitamins and minerals that aren’t typically found in semen. The complete lack of fiber might also be an issue, so you’d probably want a fiber supplement as well.
