  • I don’t like buying electronic stuff from the US anymore, although that wasn’t made there anyway, but they are world class. US clothing brands are generally overpriced and not made there either, but it still would give me an illusion of quality. American cars also aren’t made there, but I don’t feel unsafe sitting in one. I don’t disagree with you but US goods still hold perception of high quality for me and many others. But it has decreased over time and my perception of the quality from China is increasing, so maybe I’ll say the same in the (near) future.












  • for days minimum

    This will be up to two relevant factors, only the first you know in advance:

    1. The more densily populated an area the more effort will be spend locating survivors, if you survive a flood but live remotely it on average will take longer before you are located.
    2. The extent of the emergency, the bigger the area the more available resources (including effort/ human energy) are spread out. If the flood covers a lot of area, it will on average take longer for help to reach you.

    It is very unlikely there will not be any help coming.

    If you survive a flood you might have gotten wet which will have massive influence on your ability to maintain a desirable body temperature. If the flood comes with bad weather and you have no acces to heating or a place to shelter hypothermia might kill you before contaminated water can. If you can shelter in place and you’re safe in your own (or somebody elses) home bottled water and/or a water filter might be a great thing though, just trying to say what you’ll need depends entirely on what situation you end up in.




  • My belief of what this community dislikes comes down to shitty infrastructure and danger to unprotected individuals just having a good time. Also a bit fossil fuels, but I feel that’s mainly a bonus point here. So motorcycles fall in the category car infrastructure and danger to others at high speed (and a small bit fossil fuel), but ebikes fall in the category bike infrastructure so that’s good although they are still a danger at high speeds but then again also no fossil fuels.

    So scoring between -2.5 (heavy car with ice) to +2.5 (slow durable bike), I’d say ebikes score at least +1.5 here. Wich you could translate to 4 out of 5 or 8 out of 10 so very much not like motorcycles which I would score -2, which is 3 out of 10.
