Versatile tin foil can be used for food storage and cooking food over flames. When a weather incident causes damage, chainsaws are usually in high demand. Consider bow saws, axes, hatchets, and wedges. Power tools make work easy, but having some manual tools on hand is a good idea. If there is any potential at all for cold weather where you live, be sure to have both thermal tops and bottoms to layer under your clothing. Keep prescription birth control on hand as well as condoms. Even if you don’t use one of these on a regular basis, consider adding one to your emergency kit. If you’re a person who has a monthly period, make sure you have plenty of your preferred feminine hygiene products on hand. Stock your emergency supply kit with necessary medications as well as vitamins that can help balance an uncertain diet.

They allow us to turn catchment water into potable drinking water. And be prepared to capture rainwater in barrels or buckets for this purpose. I’d also consider investing in a couple collapsible water containers that can be filled from the tap if there’s a known safety threat, such as in the case of a hurricane. Non-potable water can be used for washing, flushing, and laundry. Instead of buying individual bottles of water, think about getting some 5-gallon bottles from a bottling company. Some big pickups have a 120 volt outlet, and that could certainly count. This could be a generator or a solar system. This list came across my radar a number of years ago when I was writing about the idea of “ practical prepping.” I’ve expanded upon it, including items that could be useful during both weather emergencies and longer term grid-down situations. These top 100 “prepper” items are good to have on hand for any kind of emergency. When things are getting dicey in the world, I find that planning helps calm the nerves.

Although the executive order did not mention Japanese Americans, this authority was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were required to leave Alaska and the military exclusion zones from all of California and parts of Oregon, Washington, and Arizona, with the exception of those inmates who were being held in government camps. Roosevelt authorized Executive Order 9066, issued two months after Pearl Harbor. Colonel Karl Bendetsen, the architect of the program, went so far as to say that anyone with " one drop of Japanese blood" qualified for incarceration. California defined anyone with 1⁄ 16th or more Japanese lineage as a person who should be incarcerated. In Hawaii (which was under martial law), where more than 150,000 Japanese Americans comprised over one-third of the territory's population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were incarcerated. More than 112,000 Japanese Americans who were living on the West Coast were incarcerated in camps which were located in its interior. Japanese Americans were placed in concentration camps based on local population concentrations and regional politics.

Approximately two-thirds of the inmates were United States citizens. Most lived on the Pacific Coast, in concentration camps in the western interior of the country.

To mention limiting your casting options to a much smaller pool).Ĭasting Tom Hardy was inarguably the right call. Generation of fans not to question why a professional journalist wouldīe jacked enough to dwarf Captain America, film adds a layer of realismĪnd audience expectations that would make that a much harder sell (not While comic book writers of the 80’s may have been able to convince a ⬥ Venom and She-Venom, actual size comparison. Of course, when the guy you’ve cast as Eddie has the physique of Tom Hardy rather than, say, He-Man, the logic of why Venom looks so huge falls apart. (Why Eddie and Anne should be such wildly different sized humans is a whoooole other topic, but best left in the Don’t Get Me Started pile for now.) So, in the comics at least, there’s some internal consistency explaining why He-Venom and She-Venom should look so very different. You can see the same trends at work with the Life Foundation Five and various other examples. Whereas when completely-normal-human-woman Anne Weying first bonds with the Venom symbiote in Sinner Takes All, we get a much slimmer She-Venom. So when Spider-man was wearing the symbiote the result was (by design) literally just Spider-man-but-in-black:īut Venom’s next host did not have the muscularly-lean body of Peter Parker, he had the jacked-up muscle-mountain that was Eddie Brock’s – and the result is the Venom we all know and love. ![]() Since the symbiote’s introduction back in ‘84, precious little about the species has remained consistent through the many writers and retcons, but one detail that Marvel was – mostly – consistent on back in the early days is that the shape a symbiote takes depends a lot on the body of its host. ![]() But one is still the basis for the other, so we’re going to start waayyy back at the beginning. They aren’t the same character, don’t have the same history, and their biology doesn’t follow the same rules. But mostly, it’s the perfect jumping-off point for a whole lot of rambling about visual shorthands and how symbiote morphology has been handled in the comics over the years, which apparently I had a whole essay’s worth of thoughts on. Why? Well, that requires a bit of backing up and some more context. So it was a little surprising to find that this was one I was mostly willing to shrug off. Few issues in genre film stick in my craw like the double standards applied to male and female bodies (ask me my thoughts on the likes of Wonder Woman or Gamora at your peril). ![]() I mean, the sexual dimorphism on display here is, uh… pretty extreme. So, back when Venom was still in cinemas, I saw it with a friend who (like me) enjoyed it mightily – though said friend did roll her eyes pretty hard at the She-Venom scene, because of course the female!Venom has to be skinny and sexy.
