I disagree with this. What you describe requires that you’ve already survived for several years and managed to establish a secure base and survival group, which is unlikely if one is willing to kill zombies en masse like that. Every zombie encounter comes with the risk of getting bitten, and the more encounters you have, the more likely you are to make a mistake and die. The safest way to survive a conflict is always to avoid it. Even if you were able to make a dent in the local population, more are likely to wander in from further away, and the noise of constant shooting will probably attract even more of them, as well as other survivors, who are an even greater danger.

Unless stated otherwise, by zombie we’re refering to The Walking Dead -kind of undead creature.

I have it and wasn’t really for me. DayZ is the only zombie game I like, though project zomboid seems interesting as well.

On a pet forum people regularly talk about (and suggest to others) how they euthanize their old / sick rodents at home using carbon-dioxide unlike nitrogen like this capsule uses. I looked into what’s the difference and it turns out inhaling pure carbon-dioxide instantly causes panic and the sense of suffocation and it’s a horrible way to die. They were even able to cause an panic attack on a person physically uncapable of experiencing fear. There are videos online about killing pigs like this and it’s not a pretty sight. Suffice to say I no longer take advice from those people.

Replace “AI” with “humans” and this rant is still perfectly coherent.

UHT milk keeps around 4 months in room temperature. I always have a few jugs in rotation

I hate to say it, but my honest answer is probably battery power. Even with the mobile grid down, I still feel like I’ve got a load of rechargeable devices that could turn quite useful in the apocalypse. Even just plain AA and AAA batteries would be more valuable than money.

That’s the thing the janitor at my school used to push around when I was a kid and it fascinated me to no end

That’s what expansion tanks are for. There shouldn’t be any air in the system itself.

Plumber here.

It’s a closed circuit. When you’re bleeding out air the pressure in the system drops. When there’s no sufficient pressure the water wont reach the upper floors.

Under normal circumstances the system is bled of air once and then they add more water untill the optimal pressure is reached and that’s it. You shouldn’t need to bleed air or add water ever again. The fact that you keep bleeding it indicates that new air is introduced somehow. Usually this means there’s a leak and someone keeps topping it up with fresh water which contains air that then need to be bled out again.

Alternatively the issue could also be non-plumbers like yourself who keep bleeding the radiators on their own and then the maintenance keeps adding more water and wondering why the pressure always drops again. In my part of the world it’s forbidden for the residents to bleed their radiators for this very reason.

Also, the radiator lines are usually steel. The reason they don’t rust is lack of oxygen. Now with constantly more water and thus air being added to the system the corrosion keeps on advancing.

I’ve yet to see generative AI make an error that a human couldn’t make. Maybe that’s why people seem so hateful of it; they were expecting it to be superhuman but instead it’s too much like us.

I only changed it once with the extra can I bought with the mower but never since. I’d imagine it easily costing somewhere around 20 to 30 euros a year so that’ll pretty much cover a new mower every 10 years.

Right? Who the hell would agree to a price like that. That would cover my mortage for 2 months.

For the money you save by not doing the oil change you can probably afford a new mower every 10 years or so.

Aren’t the grad students similarly trained on books that other people wrote?

I’m tall, fit, relatively handsome, somewhat charismatic and have good manners.

Not necessarily how I see myself, but the stack of evidence to the contrary grows higher each day.

Paint brush and generative AI both need a human to operate it. Neither can create anything alone.

If a human had done this you’d call it a “really bad drawing”?

According to the haters, this is not art and they’d immediately be able to tell it was done using AI.
