Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Mad_Jack]

Up until a couple years ago, there was at least one ENWorlder I knew of who was in that exact situation.

My brother lives in a "holler" down in West Virginia or Kentucky somewhere, and he had to run lines up the side of a small mountain from his house to a self-built tower for his internet. He's now basically functioning as an ISP for his neighbors.

Its actually pretty much exactly what I have been talking about for a long time, there's just nothing on it.

Mountains, Water (Lake, River access) Waterfalls, off grid but not absolutely isolated, and its a decent size. I'm struggling to think why I should not get this lol.

I'm going to make an appointment with my bank.

Make sure that there is access to it and that it's not surrounded by a bunch of property that you wouldn't be able to cross.

My people, do not trust the machine with anything, much less something important.

To be fair, while not difficult to get sodium bromide, this guy had to special order it off the internet, and it was likely labeled as a cleaner or disinfectant, not a food product.

This sounds something on the level of my doctor told to me to lose weight so I ate nothing for a week.

I mean, it's not more ridiculous than injecting yourself with bleach...

Lest I be accused of politicization, I will point out that study is from 1992 and recounts a 31-year-old man injecting himself with bleach. So, he's 64 years old today! ... Uh, assuming he didn't try any other medical experimentation...
