How about a circle within a square within a triangle within a larger circle. Turning lead into gold may be possible it just ain't profitable, lol.

I seem to be too obtuse to this conversation. While some consider me acute, I prefer ruggedly handsome.

I hope what ever the intended delivery system used it is secured with a sturdy knot. Where is Gordian and his knot when we need him the most?

Hunger tends to make all animals more ambitious and turns the fat and lazy into thin and fit . Now if they can survive long enough to figure out how to feed themselves some other way than taking from others is another story entirely. Heck most folks on this forum would have no idea how turn corn,soybeans ,milo , acorns ,and whole grain rice or wheat into something palatable and nutritious. We are all hunters and trappers but very few are foragers. I doubt MOST (NOT ALL )on here have even successfully started a fire using primitive techniques .

Well, since 95% of vehicles will not run after an actual well deployed emp or severe cmi the gas in their vehicle will not matter …..

Knew an old guy that bought up all the mules in the area when tractors first started getting a good start. He bought them cheap or had them give to him, his plan was that when the newfangled tractors didn't prove out, then people would want their mules back and would pay to get them. Problem was after the first winter they ate him out of house and home. They ate all the bark off the trees in his woods and the humane people took his investment, I think there was a flood on the mule hide market and it went south too.
Maybe a guy could get a fleet of Galloping Gooses and put small steam engines on them or a small diesel engine in them. If the starter system wouldn't work then you could just park them on a hill to start. A diesel engine will work but you might need a manual solenoid to turn the fuel on and off on the injection pump.
Bicycles will surely be a great investment.
Wonder if a guy could get a pacemaker with a hand crank?

A radius is not square.

You are correct, but you can square a radius.

I recall watching the news when things started falling apart in Venezuela (?) and the food shortage started the folks that lived in the country were victimize by city marauders- murder, rape, pillage, plunder.

Private gun ownership was banned in Venezuela. In America those hordes of city dwellers might make a good alternative food source for country folk.

Marty, if I think of it I'll ask the avionics techs at work tonight if that applies to military aircraft, as I recall in the late 1980s on the A model UH-60 Blackhawks, we were converting all the wiring to a shielded type so a garage door opener would not bring one down [I am not making that up...]

We were having problems with the Stab actuator's driving un-commanded - which believe me is a real bad thing.
To this day, all Blackhawks have a manual slew pinkie sw. on the cyclic sticks.....

I'm almost positive that all the white tops - VH aircraft [Presidential] are all protected against EMP

I'm now curious about other military aircraft.

As for civilian FAA aircraft, yeah.... I think you are right on the money - especially since everything today is fly by wire - which I am still not sold on.

I suppose a good question would also be how would an EMP affect today's modern automobile... lots of them are fly by wire too.

*wish my 79 C-10 truck was running.... that had none of that crap which is used today.

How do you protect these electronic devices, other than making a Faraday (sp?)Cage.....and exactly what is a Faraday Cage? According to most prepper/survivalist books it is simply a metal box. Would a metal sided/roofed pole barn then be a Faraday Cage???????
