Impressive a car idling in drive manages to flatten 2 people that are trying to get into it.
And they didn't even try the "grab onto it and maybe it'll stop" routine.

> manufacturing still exists, but its so tightly controlled by the feds that its impossible to get functional vehicles from the factory
That's not gonna happen. In an all-white America it could, white Americans are cucked beyond belief and have some vision that the fedgov is this all powerful omnipotent god-monster. But America has blacks, mexicans, and muslims who will just never tolerate this shit, and they'll just riot and burn cities until the govt relents.
In a REAL post-apocalyptic scenario, what you want is a horse. But again, this is not realistic.
All of the stuff with biodiesel and ethanol hits one big nasty wall, and that's the 1% efficiency of photosynthesis. Somewhere in the past year or so I posted all of the math on this. You get like 100x the miles per year per acre if you just use PV panels and put the power in an EV. It's not "sexy", it doesn't have a "prepper" vibe, but it is the actual most efficient realistic way to power your car without requiring a stable supply chain.

> It's easier to machine a chunk of cast iron into a cude piston
ALUMINUM
Okay now I've got 4 years of school running lathes, mills, grinders, etc. I'm gonna venture to guess here that if there's one of us that could have a chance of making a piston that lasts more than 20 minutes, it'd be me.
But I ain't fucking around with that shit. Even if I wanted to build an ICE, I'm not gonna go making engine parts like a Cuban, I'll go pluck an LS out of a junkyard.
I gather you're talking about some kind of societal collapse where junkyards don't exist anymore - but Where Are You Getting Gas?
Don't give me corn ethanol bullshit, it's such a pain in the ass to make, nobody does that. You're better off with wood gas, but then what's your plan to get an oil change? Even in an End Of The World scenario, I'd rather an EV and a dozen solar panels.

I'm not entirely opposed to CiTy PeOpLe getting the Agenda2030 WEF lockdown buttsecks.
Eventually I'm gonna get a 2018ish Nissan Leaf (those ones are hackable enough you can do stuff like swap batteries) then I won't really need to buy diesel anymore...

The way I would think about it is like The Pitch that the military always used to give: "it'll be hard, but it will make you a better person".
Learning a language is not easy, I *still* don't speak French that well. Learning a culture, way of doing things, insane government bureaucracy, it's all challenging, but you come out better for it...

I am, but I used to be in and near Paris and it is objectively better than any major American city because (generally speaking) African-French are much higher quality people than African-Americans.
What I would say overall is think about your goals and think about what you are willing to sacrifice to achieve them (can you live without cheese-its?) and then you can make a rational decision of whether you want to emigrate or not.

I can kinda chime in on this b/c I actually did exactly that 12 years ago.
My choice was France, and it has been very good, but I don't want to recommend a choice -> rather a framework for making a choice.
1. Firstly, you have to forget all of the Anglosphere countries, they're all hell holes worse than the US 😭
2. Then you want countries which have a decent amount of sovereignty - Germany for instance just has to do whatever the US tells them to, they're more of a colony.
3. Skip major powers like Russia and China, because For Some Reason, they have a weird tenancy to have the same kind of weird dystopian shit that the US does.
4. Countries like El Salvador and Argentina are attractive IN THE MOMENT, but you want to think about the Lindy Effect - if the country spend 90 out of it's last hundred years being a desperate shithole, it's most likely that it will go back to that *in your lifetime*.
5. Some countries (e.g. Greece) have really strong culture, you will never fit in at all unless maybe if you marry a local. Other countries have really weak culture and are being overrun and gutted as we speak. You want to be somewhere in the middle where it's hard but not impossible to integrate.
---
The single biggest benefit you will get from crossing a border is you isolate yourself from the toxic and suicidal American culture, and as you are intentionally adopting culture of the country you are in, you can make a point of choosing The Good Parts.
However, since your name is "Miss", I will give fair warning that pretty much no other country coddles Women as much as the US, so there is a certain culture shock that is unavoidable.
Last point: There are three possible family structures: Move w/ American spouse, marry a local, or marry a 3rd country national and live in a country that is not the homeland of either. Each has costs and benefits, but this post is getting too long already...

Strikes me as kind of push-polling, they get the answers they were looking for because of the format of the questions...

It seems like everybody ends up on the same X coordinate. Maybe the way the questions are asked and the current cultural zeitgeist...

Exactly. It's always better to drink with other people than drinking alone while other people stare.

800 feet is actually a lot, with that kind of distance you can get away with fairly small piping because you don't need as much flow to get the same KW out of it. Pic related.
Do you have a pond already or would you have to dig one? Do you have a size estimate?

Flash memory invented in 1984.
This is a great example of a technology with a slow innovation curve, but one that would eventually come to replace a lot of other things.
If you were smart, you would have known that (for example) tape based video cameras were going to be disrupted when flash memory hits enough density.
These things are tricky to think about because in many cases the growth curve is exponential, so something goes from "few kilobyte Nintendo cartridge" to "multi-terabyte SSD on a stick" in the matter of 4 decades.
These things are important to see and keep an eye on, because they are sitting there in plane sight, but most people don't pay attention - and they change how the future will look.

Okay so your contention is that it's technology that is causing population collapse, then explain this:

Yeah, I didn't really listen to his argument that much because it's just hard to take him seriously.
People didn't stop reproducing because they might get recorded when they're dancing at the club.
Ubiquitous recording is about 20 years old and population decline dates back to ~ roughly, WW2

Russian people seem generally pretty nice in isolation, but something about their culture is split between being European and being Asian. Every Russian leader always seems to conclude that they must become an absolute dictator and exterminate 1/4 of the population.
