I'm gonna throw the NAS with the family backups out the back window while running upstairs to get my son.

But yeah, with a bit of planning you can turn it into a yes-and situation.

Also: 48 hours. Can you provide for yourself and your neighbor for 48 hours without any help from the authorities? Does the Kanban card for pasta and tomato sauce always leave 10000 calories in the pantry? Got firewood, matches, and know where the nearest spring is? (This is easier in a culture where we still have running fountains with dates like 1780 on them.)

Oh wow, that's cool. May I ask what culture that is?

Switzerland, but I guess our neighbors valued free clean drinking water too.
