Plenty of time to teach yourself binary exploitation.
If it makes it any better, this way he might actually notice the generator exhausting fumes in his limited air.
With that, the low quality food and the failure to select and prepare offline-compatible games, this is clearly the worst prepper ever.
be sure to switch to offline mode when the world ends
Hey, if you’ve got the bunker and supplies, what’s the point in waiting for n the apocalypse?
If they’d gone to that length, one would’ve thought they would have gotten games that didn’t require being always online, or researched, tested, and implemented workarounds.
If it’s gonna be a primary source of entertainment for the foreseeable future, you’d better make damn well fucking sure you can maintain it for as long as you play it. H/w and s/w.
Boy I sure hope someone was fired for that blunder!
Pardon me mister or misses. But in my naivity, I was under the impression that the comic above, perhaps, was intended for humoristic purposes, and therefore might not be an accurate reflection of reality.
You are forgiven for your transgressions
Know that you and Asafum have my gratitude.
Thank you so much. The worrying black mist clouding my sense of self-worth is starting to dissipate.
I have graciously bequeathed thee an UPLIKE due solely to thine reception of advice far greater than mine own. Be well, friend!
Absolute nonsense!
Literally every single thing posted to the Internet is 100% serious and factual, including both your comment and my own.
Fun science fact! Mickey mouse performs ritual sacrifices to keep the earth rotating.
I nominate iii as the next one.
Pardon me mister or misses. But in my naivity, I did not realize we are forbidden from discussing topics merely because they were brought up in a humoristic context
There is a solution:
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (Not accessible via lemmy.world instance)
Live free on the high seas! 🏴☠️
Also a good option: !switchpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Cracking your Switch is extremely easy if you have one from 2017/18 that is in the right serial number range ^^
Meh - there’s plenty of decent handheld gaming PCs that are far better choices at this point - you can use emulators to run Switch games, and a virtually endless range of games from other platforms as well.
And you can play Steam games offline without any issue.
Do you know when or why they blocked it?
It feels like every day I’m finding new annoyances with lemmy.world.
I mean, its piracy.
Fear of legal troubles would be my guess.
They’d have to be significantly involved with the community to be held responsible in any way - there’s been a long-standing law that protects service providers from culpability for what their users actually do with their services.
Poker has all-in rules, which basically say if a player bets all their chips the other players can’t force them to bet more chips by raising their own bets. This is crucial for the balance of the game - without it, the moment a player gets a lead they could simply force all the other players to fold and automatically win every single hand - not matter what the cards are.
The legal system does not work that way.
Yes, but on the other hand, lemmy.world are weenies
windows xp?!
The Mayan calendar was right! The world did end in 2012.
But with the windows 95 my computer icon
Bruh that start bar looks like Windows XP from…(checks Old.exe) 23 years ago?
You’ve heard of applying themes to the interface of your devices, haven’t you?
Never mind maybe he’s been building the backlog of games he wanted to play since then…
Also that wallpaper…
Peak of computing
Well, sure. XP won’t moan that there’s no Internet connection.
In addition to the monoxide carbon problem, is there also not the issue that fuel last only for half a year (a bit more with some additives) ?
Btw, anyone know how entities (e.g. hospitals) with fuel-based emergency generators manage their fuel supply?
Wait, so what happens if you try to run a car that’s been sitting there for more than half a year? Does the gas just not work? Or does it explode or something?
I bought a gasoline powered motor home that had been sitting for about 5 years unused.
I tried to fill the tank with fresh gas and hope it would offset the bad gas.
Although I did drive it some, it was hard to start and ran poorly. Eventually I just had to replace the diesel pumps and get the injectors cleaned. Lot of work. In the end I wished I had just drained the tank and put fresh gas in before anything else.

Thanks for the info… I don’t think I can drain the tank myself, so… is that the sort of thing they can do on site, or would it need to be towed somewhere?
Depends on the site and the people you’ve hired to do it. Also I’m forgetting what vehicle we were talking about here, but I didn’t need to jack up the motorhome to work under it and remove the tanks. That could be an issue with a lower vehicle.
In general, gasoline and diesel can be stored for 6 months to 1 year without significant degradation if they are stored in a clean, sealed, and dry container or tank, away from sunlight, heat, and sources of ignition. However, fuel that is exposed to oxygen, moisture, or contaminants can deteriorate more quickly, resulting in reduced quality, lower octane rating, and increased levels of sediments or sludge.
So yeah, the trope of hopping in an abandoned car after the zombie apocalypse does not work 😂
Diesel will last a while (way longer than 6mo) but it’ll get pretty nasty after a few years. As the other commenter pointed out you technically can still run it but it will ruin your shit and eventually things will just seize up and at best will need to be completely torn down and thoroughly cleaned, at worst scrapped
Not a hospital but I have a generator on my house. Runs on liquid propane. I live in an area with terrible infrastructure. I lost power twice today (only 20 minutes each time, thankfully) because it rained. It typically runs about 3-400 hours a year and we typically have at least 1 >6hr outage every 2 months or so and at least one outage longer than 4 days a year during snow season, two if there’s a nasty hurricane season in the northeast.
We have no services available to our house aside from internet (eg no gas, no sewer, no water, etc) so we just have a large tank for the liquid propane. We originally just had them come twice a year but that was insufficient. We then had them come after serious run times but that was a pain to remember to call. I now have an ultrasonic tank monitor on there, it was like $50 and connects via Ethernet to home assistant, uses some magic ultrasonic nonsense to detect the level of the tank, once the tank drops below 40% I have it ping me and I call them, repeats at 35%, 30, etc just in case I forget then more rapidly like 28, 26 because it’s really bad for the generator to run out of gas (so it’s also a reminder to just shut it off if I truly drag my feet). I wish I could send them an automated request but the companies around here are pretty “phone only” situations for the most part
I imagine the industrial solutions are fairly similar except they’re probably using the $350 generac (or equivalent) tank monitors
Someday I’ll have the money to just convert to solar. The house came with this setup and it works for now
Sounds like you can do the battery conversion now and wait with adding solar panels. Should be cheaper than your generator pretty quickly considering how much you use it.
There are ways to store fuel for a very long time, preserving additives you can put in, and filtration systems intended to preserve diesel for a long time. Also, apparently kerosene has an incredible shelf life.
They use diesel
It’s not necessarily gasoline could be a diesel generator which would last significantly longer. I bought an RV that had been sitting for 8 years with a full tank of diesel and it fired right up. Smokey and smelly but it still functioned.
The factory can always grow, even without internet.
This guy gets it, just download the mod server before everything goes offline.
Modern retelling of that Lloyd Bridges Twilight Zone episode. “Time Enough,” I think it was? Simpsons did it too!
I think you mean Burgess Meredith and it was Time Enough at Last.
Wow I really butchered that one! Thanks for the correction.
When did Simpsons do it? There was a Futurama Scary Door episode that parodied it.
Had this same problems last night. Storm knocked out the internet so I booted up the Xbox with some old school borderlands 2 from disc. Nope requires internet to even start the game. This is some bullshit.
Call me crazy, but I would miss my League of Legends.
You’re crazy.
Call me crazy, but they sound crazy.
