But replace “Hawaii” with your location.
🙃
Chug some NyQuil, take some sleeping pills and some Benadryl and deal with it later.
Visit from the hatman guaranteed
I’m going to the drug store to buy them out of iodine. If I survive, probably going to need it.
buy
🤣
Bro, just grab the stuff before others take it. There aint laws when missiles by flying.
“buy”
Why but just but since iodine tablets now? Pretty sure they’re not at the local store anyway. I bought some last year online
Iodine is readily available at every drug store in liquid form. It’s also readily absorbed through the skin. Just ask people who were around before salt was iodized. Parents used to rub it on the soles of their kids feet.
Just searched for potassium iodide (which is what your supposed to take for radiation) at CVS and nope
Yes, orally that’s what you take.
Iodine is readily available at every drug store in liquid form.
You’re referring to a solution of elemental iodine in water of about 5% (or more likely, iodine-povidone, as the iodine alone doesn’t like being dissolved in water) that is used for disinfection
The iodide (IDE, not INE) tablets, where the iodine is in it’s ionized form (I- , usually with potassium as the cation K+) are what you want for radiation treatment, you take them orally and the dosage is in the milligrams, much lower then the iodine solutions.
The solution also doesn’t absorb at all through the skin, but you don’t see the iodine anymore because it vaporizes rather quickly
And stay a smoothskin? You’re passing on a once-in-a-lifetime chance of becoming a ghoul.
There’s nothing to do.
I’d immediately go into the basement and start memeing. I have redundant internet connections for these kinds of situations so I should still be able to post memes. I’m locally hosting a Mastodon instance so I can post even if the internet is down globally. I also have a TCP-over-HF setup so that I can post memes anywhere in the world without intermediate infrastructure. If humanity is completely destroyed, I would start memeing and rickrolling on cave walls for future generation
TCP-over-HF
I am quite interested in that. How did you achieve it? Is there some license-free band? As far as I know encryption is not allowed for any ham radio transmissions. What’s the bandwidth? It seems packet radio on HF is 300 baud.
TCP-over-HF is very slow, even with a lot of compression and low resolution the max throughput is about 4 memes per hour. I want maximum distribution of my memes so I wouldn’t use any encryption.
How many kbits/s?
Get with my kids and hang out… wherever. No basement, so either in a bathroom or get in a car and park it around behind my house and hope it’s enough to protect us from the blast. If it doesn’t, at least I’ll be together with my kids when it happens.
Go to basement. Got enough emergency supplies to last a while.
Nothing. Everyone is going to get the same alert and freak the fuck out, clogging all the roads, making it impossible to get to a shelter.
I have 2 choices:
-
Center of my cinderblock house and hope for the best.
-
Submerged in the hot tub and hope for the best.
Submerged in the neighbour’s wife/daughter/pool boy/donkey (delete as appropriate)?
Option number C. Just pretend like nothing happened, probably a false alarm like last time.
Whats the worst that can happen?
In that case, hot tub. False alarm? Still got a soak in the hot tub. :)

I’m about 45 minutes from the Sierra Nevada mountains so I’m headed there to a place I know.
I go outside with arms open wide, saying “it’s about time”.
I live with my mom and my wife 40 mins from the vancouver city centre… Honestly I’d probably go sit with my wife, kiss them ‘n hope for the best.
Also sobbing, that too. Can’t forget that.
Ohai, neighbour. My mom’s about 9 realistic hours of travel away (aka 2 small BCFerries trips). Can I borrow your mom too? If you also can see the noodlebox location that used to be a starbucks, that is. I can sob like no one else; ugly-crying and everything.
My mom will absolutely volunteer to be a mom for you too 💛 We can even have a competition about who can sob the most!
Put on Tom Lehrer’s We Will All Go Together When We Go
Go stand in the street and flip off the CIA satellite overhead. I’m ready.
Just another Tuesday for me
Are you in Palestine?
In Ukraine
Glory to Ukraine!
Edit: and fuck Putin!
Glory to the heroes!
Given how slow the elevator is in my building, I’d do nothing. I’d be dead before it showed up.
Do you live on the 100th floor of your building or something?
Maybe they’re not able to use stairs
My point was: “Why is the elevator so slow? Do you happened to live on the 100th floor and the elevator had to climb all the way from ground floor?”
Correct. I can’t use the stairs because otherwise my already flailing joke wouldn’t work at all.
Plot twist: The joke was the one needing the crutch.
Hopefully it’s a nice day so I could go outside and lay down in the grass or climb a tree to chill and completely relax.
