• hygiene products, esp. with the needs of women in mind, i.e., not just soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, but tampons, sanitary pads, diapers for toddlers as for the old
• cleaning agents, not just antiseptic and multipurpose cleaner, but cleaning fluid for contact lenses.
• Water can. Authority recommend storing about 20 litres per person for two weeks, but people need to take into account not just the additional water needed for drinking and cooking but for all hygiene like washing clothes, flushing the toilet, individual hygiene
• Small gadgets and games for children, books and personal memorabilia (photos on paper, not stored in your your devices) to fend of boredom
• Tools and first aid kits (and the usual list of food stuff for yourself and those around you).
The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that being able to maintain personal hygiene is most important: for self-esteem as for the ability to act compassionately and to fend of egoism. Then come stuff to pass the times of insecurity and boredom, i.e., times without a perspective.
Food, candles, money, etc., they all seem to me to come far later in the list of priorities when we think about preparation from the perspective of others instead of our own.
If I start to think: What do I need to purchase and store in order to survive two weeks, what I do is look for items and food stuff that may carry me (or me and my family) over a stretch of time. I can do that, but then I fall into the first horn a) -- I turn antisocial and take part in creating an atmosphere of shortage and fear. I begin to think in terms of my survival while forgetting others and take part in creating a climate in which the law of the jungle is not far away. And if I don't want to create (or take part in creating) such a climate, I either ignore what is going around, and with that potentially dangerous situations, or refuse to think at all, by which I fall into the second horn b).
My way-out with regard to both is to ask: How do I need to prepare in order to be best capable of assisting and supporting others?
What then comes into focus is preparation and storage of stuff that not necessarily benefit me, but may prove invaluable to others.

simsa04I'm thinking about how one would prepare for a partial, i.e., local, breakdown of the electricity grid. (What the yokels call a "black out", which it isn't.) I'm *not* thinking about a (nationwide) blackout in the proper sense of the word, with power plants decoupling themselves from the national grid and a nationwide shutdown of large parts of the infrastructure like utilities, sewage, electricity, banking, retail, etc. thereof. The difference: A power outage is local and can be restored in days or weeks; a blackout is a nationwide shutdown (of infrastructure) that is not fixed in days or weeks but takes years. I don't think that preparing for a blackout makes any sense.
So, how to prepare for a power takeout that may last for, say, two weeks? That is: How to get around the two follies of a) antisocial prepper behaviour, and b) succumbing to the fear and panic in face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles? The first creates egoistical attitudes; the latter may lead to paralysis of thought and action.

@lakelogaztetxea Buenas, haciendo limpieza de grupos, he visto que !gaztetxeak no tenía admin. Si los grupos no tienen admin ni contenido los borro; al haber contenido en este, he puesto vuestra cuenta como admin, puesto que sois quienes más publicáis en el grupo.
Cualquier duda o lo que sea me decís.
Also I am led to believe our Monarchs are #environmentalists, so I'm struggling with the concept of an alleged "Crown Development" that removes so many important trees.
To me it highlights the extent to which the public consultation system State-wide is a shambles, when links to "Major" and "Crown" (no less) developments are broken for months. #notGoodEnough
The Major Local Development Application section of the website has a link that directs people to the wrong development application, not "Crown Development", DA-090V02621.
I'm told the "Crown Development" will result in widespread loss of large #trees around the rail line, and wanted to see the extent of the issue. The link points to the Showgrounds development for new basketball courts, not the development that will remove what I'm told are many, /many/, large, regulated, native trees.
Via the LGA I will fight to either:
👉 have so-called "Council Development Panels" named "Local State Development Panels" (least favourable option), or
👉 have four panel members (ie. not more than 50%) chosen by lottery at an upcoming council meeting (similar to a jury chosen by lottery, this does mean all councillors must learn basics of town planning and must be paid also on the probability of being chosen), or
👉 have all planning experts be chosen democratically at election time.
I think you'll agree, none of the above measures can be considered controversial.
Having only one duly elected councillor on the State-govt enforced, "/Council/ Development Panel" is a travesty of language. Do words have no meaning anymore?
It's also anti-democratic to have a development panel stacked with unelected planning experts. They ought to undergo a similar electoral process as any councilor, especially given that some or an immediate family member (not speaking specifically about any single panel here) have made exorbitant profits as developers.
The process continues to be opaque to the point it smells, frankly.
It ONLY does a re-recentering and not much else, so please keep the extra code of mine that you placed after it... for now. Also this re-centering may break something so I wanted to add it first.
