I always include ` `. Is that still necessary?
you don't even need ` `. I'm sure it's easy to look up when that was added/recommended, but i've never used it when i do a 94 html page/site like this. html head title /title /head body /body /html 'sit

> and propane won’t cut it Depends entirely on tank size really. Standard (in Australia) is 2x45kg household cylinders (chest high to an adult) for household cooking. (Finish one, switch to the other while waiting for swap). It's not hard to have eight or more cyclinders on standby and to keep them topped up for when needed. For rural / quasi industrial, furnaces, generators, etc it's not uncommon to have fixed insta…

Seems kind of small if you're rural/have regular delivery limitations? I've got a 500 gallon propane tank for domestic use (stove, waterheater, fireplace) and another 500 gallon tank for my generator. The internet says a 500 gallon tank at 80% full (max…

> if you're rural/have regular delivery limitations?
Many rural locations here have regular deliveries .. the milk gets picked up every day for example (multiple double tanker trucks worth from, say, the Cowaramup* district alone).
There's no need for a larger tank simply because you're rural unless you explicitly want constant gas at a particular delivery rate sufficient to last out a supply issue of {X} {time units}.
( For example if you run a continuously fired glass furnace + annealers, have a ceramics business as a side hustle, specifically have emergancy services generators for blackouts etc. )

Your local government I assume - this isn't something ours has ever considered TBH.

> we didn’t know how far we’d have to go to find a gas station with electricity Corollary: carry cash, so you can buy things without depending on Point Of Sale systems being on and able to talk to the payment card networks. My favorite nearby ATM dispenses $100 bills, so I can have several hundred tucked in my wallet without taking a lot of space.
I recommend having a mix of bills; the other person may not have change. Clarification: Sure, keeping a $100 bill tucked away in the wallet for emergencies is a great idea (and I do that too), but wherever you keep emergency supplies, I suggest having a mix of smaller bills.

Let time I visit the USA, many shop don't have changes for $100 bills. I found $20 bills the easiest to use.
(I am not an American, was on a work trip)
In fact, for a long time web forums were largely entirely usable without JS.
See the degradation of GitHub for a great example. You used to be able to interact with most of it without any JS at all; browsing the code repositories, reading and replying to issues, etc. Now it barely shows anything without JS. Of course, I suspect in that case it's deliberate so they can trick you into running a few more tracking and analytics scripts...

As a mild lifelong disaster "junky" (grew up in remote areas, dealt with cyclones, floods, droughts, fires, monsoons, coup d'etats, unannounced atomic tests etc during decades of global field work) this description: As a web developer, I am thinking again about my experience with the mobile web on the day after the storm, and the following week. I remember trying in vain to find out info about the storm damage and ro…
so during hurricane Laura the NWS transmitters ceased functioning. The southern one i can pick up was uncrewed and stopped working during, and the northern one, i don't remember, but it went down about 2 hours later, well before the storm was upon them. up to that same storm i was a gung-ho let's go ham enthusiast. up to. I lived in a more direct path relative to where most of the repeater users were, so they were co…
Good fun - not much chop for keeping the general public informed via cheap transister radios (although, who has those anymore?).
Our state emergancy services broadcast locally (and at strength from outside affected areas) when updates are required - they have dedicated bands and they routinely interject on the major broadcast radio networks - where fires are, when and where cyclones are expected to cross the coast, etc.
Our very local area volunteer fire units use the equivilant of ham and CB bands with reduced licences - they broadcast lightning ground strikes (at this time of year) and fire / tender / tanker updates as the season progresses (which is right now, harvest time, a lot of equipment out in tinder dry conditions subject to highly active evening lightening storms).
The iPhone / WiFi stuff is great .. but it hasn't yet passed into "considered reliable" in local culture - the networks have crashed under stress and nobody wants response to grind to a halt if a tower goes down, etc.
