> [@Enzo\_T](#): > > What they are hanging their theory on is this statement: Given the number of times companies have informed me that they allowed my personal information to be stolen I think the threat may be more than just theoretical. Especially when you have so many integrated systems constantly communicating with each other. Lots of opportunities to slip into the system either electronically or physically by a spy. Add to that the important military computer components being manufactured by one of our primary potential adversaries and the potential vulnerabilities keep increasing. Iโ€™m actually pretty concerned about how completely dependent on technology our military is. Most of our weapon systems seem to rely on GPS these days. Those signals can be easily scrambled, spoofed or knocked out completely. I know a person in the Marines who said no one in his company knew how to navigate with a map and compass. Without a GPS signal they would all have no idea where to go. ---

Not being able to read a map or do basic navigation by compass is a big mistake. Iโ€™m a boater, and still carry paper charts and a bearing compass. It was only in 2020 that the USCG discontinued the requirement for paper charts onboard. I do have electronic chartplotters, and an old style GPS that gives my coordinates to correlate to my paper charts, but its still a good idea to plot your location manually. What if you take a lightning hit and fry your chart plotter? Iโ€™m pretty old school, though. ---

Most of my work requires using GPS and on screen maps but I never completely trust them. Most of my younger coworkers run tracks on their phones or GPSs in order to be able to backtrack their way out of the areas they navigate into but I almost never run tracks because it significantly degrades my natural sense of direction when I rely on the GPS to find my way out. When Iโ€™m not running tracks my subconscious knows it needs to pay attention to the twists and turns in order to get back home. That practice has saved me getting lost on a couple of occasions when my GPS glitched or died. It also helps me figure out how to get where I am going when the roads on the GPS map donโ€™t match the roads on the ground which happens a lot in the remote areas I work in out here. I also keep atlases in my vehicle. One for the US and a Delorme Topo map book for the State I am in. ---

> [@TheTwoJakes](#): > > A wildfire so devastating that an entire city is wiped out? Los Alamos NM. They called that one a โ€œControlled Burnโ€. Within a day, it burned out of control and was declared a wildfire. On **May 7, 2000** , three days after ignition, the western part of Los Alamos was evacuated. On May 10, when Los Alamos Canyon started to burn, the townsite was evacuated.
