I import them into the native books app and it’s good enough that I haven’t had a reason to look elsewhere. You might need to sync with a Mac for this to be an option though—I’m not sure if it can be done without the accompanying MacOS books app.

Threat modelling tip: instead of a grand catastrophe, consider two simultaneous inconveniences (lemmy.ca)
 

A lot of prepper content seems to wrongly focus on grand sudden events-Hollywood-style collapses of society or environment. The reality, from the fall of Rome to Lebanon this century, is that collapse is usually a slow crumbling where the things people rely on become less and less reliable.

A useful intuition pump is to do your threat modelling with two likely events that, if they happened separately, would only be inconveniences, but together pose a serious threat.

For example:

  • Your kid is away at summer camp and there’s a gasoline supply shock.
  • A storm washes out your road and your dad gets readmitted to the hospital.
  • There’s a wildfire and your car battery is dead.

What are the two most likely inconveniences given your loved ones and where you live?

I think the important thing is to practice good FIFO and buy stuff you actually like. Experiment with different recipes and flavours now. You are not going to want to radically change your diet and how you cook. If you don't like it now, you won't like it when you have to eat it. My staples to always have a supply of are black beans, chickpeas, coconut milk, san marzanos, corn and tuna.
