    So, does a Sam event involve a gas hatchet?

    And while we’re at it, is it impervious to a Jo event?

    My advice to them both though, let it go.

      Let it go, what many Democrats are saying about the Horowitz report when the choices are there was a cabal and a conspiracy against Trump, or the FBI is full of incompetents from top to bottom for the entire FISA process. Let it go? Nah.

        They say it like gross incompetence is somehow more acceptable than actual intent. Either way the agency needs to be purged as a whole. Not that I can find a power granted to the federal government in the constitution that allows the creation of such an agency. If course I’m no constitutional scholar, I mean, I can parse the words “Shall Not Be Infringed” and can find no place for the NFA .

    Sam, you are being set up.

    And, your lack of trust is…disturbing.

    Ah, C’mon, Sam is just messing with him. She knows it includes C batteries s for her…

      As if Sam would need one of those…
      Now, I surmise certain members of Congress and the media probably have warehouses of C batteries.

    Protecting data from EMP’s is easy, use optical media like DVD’s. Protecting what reads the data is the challenge.

    So Sam really wants Zed to show her what’s in the box. Christmas is coming. There is a classic Christmas video by Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg about a Christmas gift in a box

      Hard copy. EMP proof, cannot be “accessed” remotely, and all you need to read it is light to see by.

      Those who claim “print is dead” mostly mean “I want everything of yours where I can get at it”.

        And a fireproof room to store it in and a librarian with top security clearance to curate it and arrange it.

        But yeah, kind of like we look at the old homesteaders in wonder with no power or running water, how did we survive without the inter tubes to run our lives?

        But they and we got by fine. Might come back to all of that.

        After a large SHTF paper may become considerably scarce and what the ‘artisan papermakers’ seem to know is recycling existing wood pulp products. And who wants to backpack an encyclopedia set?

        I have small fanless mini-ITX motherboards with little fanless Mini-Box picoPSU’s. They are happy to live embedded in a sealed metal enclosure and be fed just 12VDC, could be from a car or solar panels. There are “wide input” versions for 12-32V. With SSD and/or flash drives, the big worry is having working peripheral equipment and connectors. Remember when flatscreen monitors came out and they lived for warranty length plus one day?

      Dunno about optical media being safe.

      Ever see a CD or DVD in a microwave?

      With enough power, even a brick can fly.

        And I am certain that Jo can quote that chapter and verse after she “impersonated” Sam while in Federal custody.

    Remember Sam’s not a real redhead, I recall Zed throwing money at Skye to take the girls for ice cream when Sam walked in after the initial dye job at Muir’s off camera salon.

      That wasn’t a dye job, it was a return to the Louise Brooksish page boy hair style after she had grown it out long like it is now.

    Yeah, Sam needs to let it go. She should know that Zed won’t have anything in there that would compromise their relationship.

      SAAMI warns:

      Precautions should be taken to avoid buildup of static electricity on the person when handling primers or conducting handloading procedures. Loading equipment should be electrically grounded.

      Sparks can set off primers. Storing primers in bulk is not recommended, one goes and they all go. Consider your storage precautions accordingly.

    Real Paul Bunyan: Sam’s been a redhead since the first panels. She had a far less sexy hairstyle, but it was still red up top. Yeah, ok, she’s Japanese, so maybe it is dyed. But she’s been consistent with it for years.

      yes looking into the archives (and from the Redvolution days) I see it was only a style change that incited Zed to bribe Skye to evacuate the kids so he could get the house a rockin’. In the Bush Clinton Bush Obama era vernacular I ‘misremembered’.

    There is another way to determine she’s a red head if Zed is so inclined…

      I suspect Zed has visited that venue many times.
