  • Amazed noone has mentioned a tire repair kit (that I saw across many comments at least). A spare tire is only so useful, especially if it’s a donut. A kit will let you fix multiple flats and keep on trucking like nothing happened as long as it’s not a sidewall blowout or something crazy.

    Get a good repair kit, one with a rasp with a strong handle to clean out the hole, tar covered plugs, and the little hook device thing to stuff 'em in easy. Also possibly add some rubber cement to the kit, as if it’s cold or a real nasty hole, the tar plug things might not completely plug the leak.

    Naturally, that kit should include a tire inflator. Even if it’s a hand bike pump, it’s better than nothing, but they sell all sorts of pumps. From simple ones you hook up to the battery for power, to ones built in to power packs.

    Also some basic tools will go far. At least some needle nose pliers. Way nicer to yank out nails or what ever with than figuring out some way to wedge it out with the tire repair tools.

    Project Farm on YouTube has reviewed both tire repair kits and tire inflators, among many other types of tools if you want to get good recommends/alternatives and see how they actually fare before you buy.

    Also make sure you know how to use the jack in your car if there even is one. If not, get one. Even basic scissor jacks work fine as long as you’re not doing something foolish.




  • Nah, we have the will, we just don’t have the ethical foundations as a species to do it “correctly”. I guarantee you there are many labs around the world fucking with embreyos right now. It’s only a matter of time before some less scrupulous lab allows one to grow up.

    Legal ability and actual ability are two wholly different things. Besides, under capitalism, the better places cost a lot more money to simply exist in. No poor person from the Appalachias is going to be able to roll in to Seattle and survive off the streets.
