I can see being able to keep perishables cold / frozen by putting them outside in the winter, but how do you keep stuff from going bad in the summer without a refrigerator or freezer?
Compression engines (diesel) will run on a large variety of C10-C20 chain hydrocarbons. The newer engines have emission management systems that severely hinder the use of anything but ultrapure low sulfur diesel fuels because of these systems and the now ubiquitous Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF, facilitates the catalyst in exhaust systems).
Older diesels should run fairly well on biodiesels and pretty much any combustible oil in the C10-C20 range. I’d personally experiment if I had one, but ones engine whispering savvy and risk limits should counsel ones use of alternatives.
That said, in a pinch, you could probably get somewhere, or run a generator, on a home brew mix of very well filtered used motor oil and alter the viscosity thinner if needed with small fractions of kerosene, lighter oil or fuel additives.
You are right Mom. So far, I am only following Freepers on the list that foldspace made and updates. Grateful for the list :)
That will lead to some interesting realizations.
ThankQ #1pal for the links!

Pingout!
Fibbies were aware of a lot of the mass shooting perps.

I saw the film last weekend and I think I recall Dinesh saying that the video cameras were a requirement for installation of a dropbox. Strange how many of the cameras were “offline” though.
