Crimea is geofenced. That's why Ukraine officials contacted Elon and asked him to enable it so that their drone boats could attack Russian navy there which Elon refused to do. It's literally illegal due to US sanctions to Russia. This is what the author Walter Isaacson wrote about in his book but for some reason spun it around claiming Elon disabled it to prevent the attack when in fact it wasn't enabled in the first place. He has later issued a correction stating that what he originally said was incorrect but this is conveniently ignored by pretty much everyone and when ever I point it out I get downvoted.
To clarify on the Starlink issue: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.
And before someone comments on the "major war" point, those are Walter's words, not Musk's. Elon said that agreeing to do so would "make SpaceX explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation" but also later added that had he been contacted by the White House and asked to enable it he would have but they didn't.
Ah.. I thought you meant the 100mm cobra pliers
I work as a contractor so even the best EDC kit isn't sufficient to do most of the jobs I need to do. Also since I have a fully kitted work truck with me where ever I go I'm rarely too far from my tools. I've tried all kinds of EDC setups but in my personal experience the items I need by far the most are a blade and a pen so that's what I have with me at all times nowdays. I honestly should just EDC my Leatherman Wave because then I would get pliers and a screwdriver too but I'm already invested into a nice pocket knife.
I actually despise all but the beefiest Crescent wrenches.
You need the pliers wrench

Yeah that's a fair point. Replacing bike tires with sealant in them aint fun either.
What's minor in this case? The fact that it's not specified makes me think we're speaking of a 17 year old.
Come to Finland. I have absolutely zero clue about what party my neighbours vote. Hell, I don't even know who my friends of parents vote.

My understanding is that caffeine doesn't give you energy but instead blocks the sense of tiredness.
I wore baggy jeans and oversized hoodies in the early 2000's. That's pretty much the last time I "followed a trend" that I can think of though there probably are other occasions too that just don't come to mind now. Most of the time I get into things either before they were cool or way after the wave has already passed.
Long story short: completely stripper the hex slot on the back of the freehub body while trying to remove it. It’s incredibly tight. Can I just take a pipe wrench to it from the front or do the teeth seen here on the new part lock with the wheel hub making it impossible to turn?

Blew my freehub muscling up a steep incline. This is why I ride with half of my workshop in my backpack. Had zip ties packed up specifically incase of this happening.
I once snapped a chain and had to walk my bike back home. I never wanted to do that again so I've been pretty much prepaired for anything ever since. Usually it's just flat tire I've had to deal with. Had to fix the chain another time too but had a chain tool and a masterlink that time. So far the greatest breakdown has been when I snapped my derailleur hanger and had to shorten the chain and convert it into single speed to ride home. The freehub had been experiencing skipping for some time now so I can't say I was too surprised when this happened.
Ofcourse a 5 meter tall concrete wall would be ideal but good luck building that in the middle of the apocalypse. What do you feel like would be the next best option?
My personal choice currently would be to find rolls of 2 meters tall steel wire fence, locate a secluded hilltop somewhere in the woods near water and pull the fence tight between living trees and finish it with barbed wire on the top, mostly in case of other survivors trying to sneak in.
I'd start by securing a small, maybe 5m x 5m perimeter as the starting point. This can be accomplished in a day and I now have a safe place to sleep in. When I obtain more fencing I would start building a second layer around the first one with about 3 meters of space in between and as my camp grows and I get more supplies I would just keep building additional layers. If there are longer stretches of fence between trees I would add additional posts as well as 45 degree supports to prevent a horde from pushing it over.
Wire fence like this comes with atleast 2 additional benefits of being able to see thru it as well as enabling you to kill zombies thru it with a spear.
