Yea, that's not a bad idea. My uncle is the biggest doomsday prepper you'll ever meet so I'm sure I'd end up going to Lancaster if something did happen. He's got everything you need, including crazy hunting skills and a house full of sniper rifles.

I could live out of my truck for weeks if I had to, with the gear I have in there...

I've always been a proponent of being prepared, and have posted numerous times about it here... If you like the subject enough, I'd advise you learn all you can from publications like Mother Earth News, Complete Survivalist (this one is newer, and still just starting up), etc.

Also, if you can, pack a backpack and just start walking one weekend. See how far you can go in a day, and if you can survive a night in the woods without anything other than what you can carry in the backpack... Not only is it good physical exercise, but it is a good mental exercise.

Learn to hunt/gather with basic primitive tools that you can make yourself... Own, and learn how to fire and maintain various firearms. Instead of hoarding money or gold, invest in something practical that may come in handy on a rainy day.

Picture a world without an economy, oil, civility, etc. etc. Imagine you've been impacted by a natural disaster. Put yourself in a "what would I do if?" scenario as often as you can.

See that's exactly why my wife thinks I'm nuts. I'm like what good is money or gold gonna do if this went down, I'd rather things people will need and want to barter for like amoxycillan, home made beer, first aid supplies, etc. No one is gonna care who has money if the world went to poo, they'll want food, water, and practical items.

Maybe I should start growing tobacco in my backyard.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
