[oyarde]

Anyone heard of all the strange preparations ( for what is anyone's guess ) going on with Fema for region 3? Look it up!

Fema 3? Those are zombies

This is true. Takes no electricity (unless you get fancy), soothing on the parts.

Ya, I have a used one I'd send for just shipping cost. Needs a little work.

Wow......... Thanks. I guess now I know what it really means to be the butt of the joke huh? ( Yea, pun intended )

It was interesting to see...There are 200 hungry people in line who are overall miserable for losing all the normal 1st world comforts they are used to having...and seeing some kids and adult cashiers scratching their head trying to figure out sales tax...Probably not even sure how to place the order considering most of those electric cash registers are just pictures of menu items anyway. They were a mix of deer in headlights looks and kids looking like they were stuck taking a high school algebra test or something.

I'll find out when it comes to it and I find myself in a place that was sold as a night lit paradise, now in the blackest brand of darkness. I believe I will make it, hell I'll be shouting Ron Paul as I cross the border into the land previously known as Kentucky. If south east doesn't work, Ill go north into Wisconsin. Shit, if it hits the fan my one mission will be finding country folk of a similar turn of mind.

This electric corn cob can still be used even after you cut off the power cord!

Unfortunately, this 2006 Idiocracy chair needs BOTH a power supply AND a water supply!

After TSHTF, even creature comforts may simply Tapir off and change our lifestyle forever...

All good here unless the intertubez goes down.

It would be hard to pull off here. But this is an exception to the rule.
There is a non profit (Member owned) Electric Co-Op. and power is supplied by Hydroelectric.

They would have a hard time selling a total shutdown. We are our own "grid".

5.5% sales tax in my neck of the woods. sale 19.99 Sales tax .055 19.99 times .055 = 1.099 rounded up =1.10
Did I win your respect.

Having recently gone 3 days with no power, I now know you need a pump for the water.

It only yours to lose.

I think most people who have run a register know what the post-tax total is anyway. After you ring it up about 100 times, it sinks in.

I think the bigger issue would be counting change. That is a lost art.

I have a second well, and a bucket.

I recommend stocking up people even though this is more than likely a non event being prepared for an emergency is always good. If you think you have enough water, I assure you that you do not. If it is cold you still need just as much if not more water than when it is hot. You can forgo showers, and dig cat holes for going relieving yourself, but food preparation often uses lots of water and you will never even realize it until you must treat water as the precious resource it is.

Same here--I was just explaining for the typical household.

I did not like algebra, but power out means sales tax holiday !
