Can you elaborate on what exactly their problem is then?


I'm reasonably bullish on intel, but Jobs explained the problem well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlBjNmXvqIM When tech companies become a dominant force in their market they lose their ability to innovate, and it's very hard to change culture once that's happened.


He's stated previously regarding just the bunker, that it'd be sold as a bunker with a house, not a house with a bunker. That arrangement is apparently more valuable as that makes the house much more desirable for the type of person interested in bunker-digging.

I'm not sure if the tunnels change anything, but assuming they're up to some sort of code, probably nothing.


I think so. IBM recently produced a new "5nm" chip. In reality the physical size is closer to 24nm, if I remember correctly. The numbers you hear don't literally mean the physical size of the transistor, it refers to something else.


Most chips are 2D. IBM made a 2nn equivalent in 2D, by using 3D.


Definitely. I'm not sure how you'd expect anything at all to function without power, water, food, messaging, etc would all be gone. I'm not sure how it'd be possible to survive if you're in a city.


It wouldn't be ideal, but cities have been without power for several days if not weeks before.


Aren't those cases mitigated by receiving support/supplies from elsewhere though? The thing about a massive solar flare is that this "elsewhere" would be facing the same issues.


I've personally been in voice calls on discord with thousands of people. Obviously it's impossible to pick out anything discernable with that many people but discord handles it well.


How do you plan on getting food?


No problem: I'm surrounded by thousands of acres managed by people who can grow food easier and cheaper than me. I can buy a pickup truck of #2 cull carrots for $20 in October. There are mountains of carrots, turnips, beets, parsnips, potatoes etc. left in the fields in the fall, not to mention tons of apples in the orchards. Of course I pay the farmer, but to him it's gravy: we both cut out the middle man for our mutual benefit. You would not believe how little of what you pay at the supermarket, winds up in the farmer's pocket.

Pick'em yourself, stock your root cellar, and you don't have to go to the store for vegetables until summer.


Once you move to the countryside, producing food in small quantities is relatively easy, provided you have the time and resources. The hard part is staying alive until it's time to harvest.

The key is to have food stores that will last for months, and skills to repair and maintain equipment etc.


I'm surprised you think no one on r/antiantijokes stole that joke to put it there
