that might be a good point. RF jamming equipment might be needed... the ukrainians are having alot of success with simple nets too, anything with a rotor blade is never gonna be able to negotiate simple hanging strings we could decorate everything with hippy beads and faraday cages

moats will stop robot dogs right? time to make moats great again

i also feel like an aluminum baseball bat is gonna go a long away against kill bots too

it varies by community, but some of them have water tanks with septic systems, or they have wind/solar powered pumps.

their whole thing is the separation from the outside world, so they don't have wires or pipes coming from the heathenous cities

my house has a bathroom with an old fashioned sink that has separate taps for hot/cold water... that's pretty close right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

you know about the nascar driver that left their community from hearing nascar races on radio he found and hid in the woods? lol.

dude's story is insane, if you took his actual life story and combined it with the south park nascar premise or Talladega nights it'd be a hilarious movie
one thing i always thought was cool about the Amish is that nobody is required to stay in the community, everyone that comes of age is given the choice, if the kids choose to leave they are given money and resources to make a life

it's not something casual or taken lightly but the people can choose for themselves to live that life or not

Bringing a baseball bat to lightsabre fight hey? Or a "Lazer" fight.
Maybe a new BitBone token would work better.

yeah... at like age 16 they go on rumspringa and 10% choose to join the world of the "english" they call anyone who isn't Amish english but they have like 500 kids so it doesn't matter if they lose a few

but why not let english people spend a few weeks with the amish and see if they wanna join, i'll bet you alot would choose to join

interesting fact is although they live such simple lives, many amish families are worth millions. wealth is generational and they sell their products but they don't buy much from the outside world, and their whole community is like a religious installation so they get various tax exemptions

90% of amish return after rumspringer, which gives you an idea how great our lives actually are.

We all basically live as alcoholic bartender's and waiters that live at the vactaion villa and are like, "har har the amish that come tour this place are such lozers"
