Update 8 5 2022: Screenshots from the Rhinoceros modeling of Primitive Hut a de-mountable dwelling system by Pi-Des. Pi-Des prepares for the first 3D mockups of system components, structural analysis, and fabrication detailing. Pi-Des hopes to have first runs of the system available for purchase soon. If you are interested in reserving a primitive hut, please email: dcpides@gmail.com.

I refuse the use of democracy in describing what Americans and others are subjected to. We have a roboticized surveillance apparatus and fuck you, media, for suggesting otherwise.
According to the California fire service, 2018 was the deadliest and most destructive wild fire season on record, with just under 2 million acres burned, under 8000 wild fire incidents in the state alone, and approximately 100 fatalities recorded.
On August fourth of 2018, a national disaster was declared in the northern part of the state: by November, strong dry winds aggravated existing fire conditions and CA erupted in a new batch of fires.
What the 2018 wild fire season made obvious was that we need to adapt to these harsh conditions and respond when climate disasters displace people.
In the midst of the wild fire destruction in 2018, David Curtis began conceptualizing Primitive Hut, a de-mountable system that can be transported out of the active fire area and reassembled as needed. It acts as a Triage Field that provides an area of refuge should one not have time to evacuate the site. Triage Field is an integral fire suppression device for emergency use. It has other technical capabilities that are currently classified.

Yesterday I went to dinner with family. Despite significant intake of stimulants (Pepsi)
I was only able to pronounce one sentence: “They aren’t absorbent.”
I was observing that old National Geographics would most likely not make good toilet paper in the event of a state of emergency.

X has migrated the data from the tests recently conducted at Desert 1-3.
This has led to a new version that hopes to be translatable and scalable.
Current design includes an accessible wand controller.
An advantage to this new design is Triage Field may be docked at Primitive Hut or may roam to recover a subject at any location, at any time.

Twitter, because Mark Zuckerberg, as I think we can agree, is a global-scale asshole, but when he aligned with the ad dorks it unleashed a colossal daisy chain of fucked up.
