Bob why are we talking about EMP’s? Was there a threat that I missed?
*************************************************************************
I don’t recall exactly how it started, but I think it was talking about food storage and morphed into EMP - my fault.

From what I have read, the USA is a sitting duck for an EMP whether from man made or a Carrington type event. I had just been reading a scientific article about a corneal mass among other things, so prepping was on my mind.

Thread slide went from food to prepping to EMP prepping.

Perhaps you should take the log out of your own eye, dear.

(Spellcheck is our *friend*, I bet you meant coronal mass ejection...) :-D

Mairdie was talking about archiving a hard drive in a Bank Vault. Bob was telling her it was not permanent. Texokie asked about whether her drive or memory sticks would be safe from EMP in a bank vault. There were some posts regarding archive media that turned into an EMP protection question.

Slides, but not entirely irrelevant slides. (And no fuud!)

Ummmmmmm I have to confess.... I really think I’m the culprit.

I wrote a piece on archiving computer files. Mairdie told us about archiving backups in a bank vault. I wondered if bank vaults are EMP faraday cages. Ensued a conversational mudslide of epic proportions.... about EMPs, and then to prepping in general....to which greeneyes contributed mightily! (for which I’m very grateful!)

*texokie, who had climbed out from under the Steinweigh earlier, finds her way back there and covers herself in the Qanteen Qatz, hoping they will shield the world from her shame*

OK Thanks. Prepping is good. We have talked about it and have done some. Hopefully never needed.
