Anyone familiar with any strategies (links/advice) for handling the first wave of crazies during a worldwide hunger event?

I'm not naive about it. Say a meteorite makes most infrastructure and thus food obsolete for a year. Very quickly people will begin to scavenge, and I suspect there will be a big wave of chaos until it calms down after there are survivors.

Best method to store lentils long term in consideration of Florida heat?

I live in North Florida, but man does it get hot in the summer. I have a 50 gallon drum barrel, but considering a situation without A/C, do lentils need to be in a certain temp? Can they be in general storage in 100°+ temp?

Is there any evidence of people that are cybernetic organisms? Or is it a crazy, baseless conspiracy theory?

Neuralink is a reality. 6G will allow for implantation. It's not too much of a stretch to assume some high profile people may be mechanically or digitally augmented, right?

[Batman Begins] What did Bruce typically do from day-to-day after he joined the League of Shadows?

It seems like he personally trained with "Ducard" and was being reared as a general for the League. But was there any social aspects? Celebrations? Group fighting lessons? Philosophical discussions?

BONUS: when did Bane join, and what was his day-to-day life like in the League?

Can anyone please interpret what this comment on natural water purification means? I'm new to water purification and would like to start off accurately as possible.

This clip (link at bottom) has a comment that says, "11:04 the solar disinfection (SODIS) method employed by the UN and international relief agencies specifies using PET containers between 1 and 2 liters for disinfecting clear water. They specifically recommend against using glass containers because they can block UV light. Food jars are sometimes produced with additional UV blocking to better preserve food quality. If the conditions are partly cloudy, then a full 48 hours is required f9r sterilization in a PET bottle.

"The observed difference between e coli and total coliform after UV exposure has been studied by various organizations. E coli and other coliform pathogens that have developed antibiotic resistance do so by producing additional proteins. It turns out that these proteins afford significant UV resistance, as well. Different coliform pathogens have varying UV resistance to begin with. Thus, the observed residual of e coli and total coliform after UV treatment demonstrates the effect of uv blocking by that specific jar, exposure to less than 48 hours, and the likely presence of antibiotic resistant coliform as a fraction of the original sample population.

"Take away: boil water and/or use chem disinfection when possible. Use PET for SODIS for at least 48 hours, tho IMO 72 hours is the way to go."

Learning formal logic and tackling Russell's Paradox.

I understand that elemental to the paradox is set theory. From what I know, a set can contain a set of itself, and a set can contain a set that does not contain itself. Is there a practical way to understand this?

As for the paradox, a set such that all sets x cannot contain themselves seems, on the surface, plausible. But I think I'm missing the "aha" understanding, and I'm curious to see if there is a suggested way of going about comprehending it in full.

Someone in a past post gave the example of a teacher saying that there is an exception to every rule. The student took her rule of exceptions as a rule that can carry an exception, which contradicted the original rule (i.e., by all rules having exceptions, such a rule cannot have an exception), creating a paradox: the rule invalid only if the rule is valid.

Is this an apt analogy?
