Hi

You know.. developers would be pretty useless in a zombie apocalypse...

(or in a world without computers/electricity in general)

After that all zombies will be killed from heros.

Who will restore/rebuild public services? Electricity/water?

>Engineers and devs

Oof that's on u... Boutta build me a cyberpunk city

Developers have practical minds. They try to make the shortest route to the problem they are facing. Good developers are like that, at least. That's an advantage when in a zombie apocalypse :)

Well excuse you, i built a 19W power generator using scrap dc motors

Which is why I am really happy about my military background.

I get to survive without a lot of things just fine and dandy.

@AleCx04 You and me both.

@AleCx04 @Root What kind of military background do you have?

Best apocalypse skill: Distillation.

Four reasons: first, people love booze, especially during an apocalypse I'd imagine, and hard liquor is much easier to transport than wine or beer. Second, hard alcohol can be used for medical purposes like disinfecting and painkilling. Third, you can distill clean water, which will likely be in short supply. And, finally, although it's possible to kill someone and take their still the skill required to operate it fix it and make new ones is valuable, so that should offer some level of protection.

@TheOct0 USMC

@Root For how long?

@TheOct0 US Army

@AleCx04 Well I'll ask the same question, for how long?

@TheOct0 a while. Why?

> sudo killall zombie

> find group of survivors (ls /humans | grep alive)
> need to form some sort of value based system for the exchange of services
> make blockchain

@AleCx04 I'm just curious. I respect people with a military background, and I'm always interested to know basic info about what they were doing :)

You see all the smatphone-zombies daily. It has already begone.

@AlexDeLarge I loathe the chain of command. There are idiot bosses in the civilian world, and then there are power-hungry idiots with a penchant for yelling and blame-passing in the military. I'd gladly take the former over the latter; at least you can leave them behind without getting thrown in lockup.

Something I miss, though?
Sharpshooting and hand-to-hand training. Those, the obstacle courses, and tactics classes were the only parts of the military I actually enjoyed.

@AlexDeLarge i can deal with hierarchies and chains of command as long as I find them intelligent enough. Which was not my experience at all. I loved the military and had a blast, but doing stupid shit to fulfill an idiotic power hungry struggle was really not my cup of tea e.g cutting grass with an e tool because the sgt major was in a bitchy mood even though civilians that were already paid to cut the grass would show the next day. Or being called to formation on a saturday night in uniform after half the company was drunk and then taking people's rank becuse they were drunk "on duty"(come on man it was fucking saturday night.....)

Shit like that made me despise the people in it although I did make a lot of very good friends. And I got to play with every-single-fucking tracked vehicle the U.S Military has and then some.

God.....I love tanks. Watch them bitches go at 50mph and go airborne.

@Root you ain't kidding with that one. In the military if a motherfucker hates you he can really dedicate his existence to the sole pursuit of making you miserable and I saw that shit a lot of times.
