I’m sure they do and lots of it.

Could be why the Feds are holding up Musks permits for more Starlink satellites

You too. You’re aging yourself. I did that too when I was young. I lived right next door to a gas station and spent much of my misspent youth sitting around with the old guys listening to stories an 8–10-year-old kid should probably not have been listening to, but I digress. I learned to check oil, pump gas, wash windows, run a cash register and dip the tanks before I was in middle school. Some of the best times of my life.

And how to unhook a bra with one hand...

Shut down businesses? How about shut down health care, prescription drugs, planes, transporation systems, electrical grid ....all that runs online ....

What nuts we have running this country.

The effect on the country would be disastrous. Amazon would cease to exist.

It would destroy commerce in the country. It would put millions out of work. Millions would lose access to their financial assets. Families would be disrupted. Communications would grind to a halt.

In other words, that’s exactly what biden’s puppet-string pullers want! With the government firmly in control, it would be able to tell us anything at all, and force us to do anything it wants us to.

Remember those CB sets? time to buy a couple?

Interwebs kill switch. With the vast majority of electronic medical records now being remote-hosted that would be a perfect way to get rid of some undesirables.

Not too mention the damage that would be done to commerce in general.

I expect the bastards are trying to come up with an excuse to pull the trigger sooner rather than later.

Thanks to the “internet of things” very little of anything not “primitive “ will work.

Sharp sticks and flints, stock up.

They’re gonna eventually MUZZLE us all, one way or another.

Do you have any idea how to get 15 gallons of gas out of my totaled PT Cruiser, by chance?

Jacking it up and draining the tank is not an option and I could really use the gas right now.

The hole of the metal anti theft thing flap thing is too small for a garden hose.

I could go to Lowe’s and buy a length of plastic hose that’s much smaller maybe.

Thanks.

Been looking for ways to do it and found this:

Can you syphon gas from newer cars?
Siphoning gas from most modern cars is problematic since they have what is known as a ‘rollover valve’ which blocks the flow of gas coming from the tank if the car is upside down. This valve effectively blocks the insertion of a siphon hose into the tank.

Well crap.

Maybe that would finally get people to get off the couch, grab their guns and go to DC and take care of business.

I can fantasize…

There simply can not be a single “SWITCH” for the internet. It doesn’t work like that.

The Utilities smart meters will not work. That will not set well with the utilities. Bet the estimate cost during the shutdown will be higher than normal usage. We will have to take whatever the utilities say. Do the red-light camera at street corners work on w1f, if so No pictures sent, but then a gone they must have some kind of memory.

I learned that a little later, but I could do it while driving.

You could always siphon with a hose. They used to sell a bellows like pumps for the same purpose.
