    I pulled out my copy of the cookbook just for reference, I keep it on my bookshelf next to my copy of the Poor Man’s James Bond 2. The 4 chapters of the book were “Drugs”, “Electronics, Sabotage, and Surveillance” (The shortest), “Natural, Nonlethal, and Lethal Weapons”, and “Explosives and Booby Traps”.

    I feel like “Drugs” would get expanded upon to showcase more modern stuff like Meth, Fent, Kratom, etc. The electronics/sabotage/surveillance chapter would double or triple in size easily, becoming the biggest in the book owing to our modern times and definitely include info on anonymizing yourself online along with in rallies/protests/riots, using the dark web, and more. Weaponry would get a nod towards 3d printing, maybe stuff on neutralizing gas for protestors/rioters. Explosives and Booby Traps wouldn’t change too much.

      I really hate the new cigarettes that self-extinguish. My source for delay timer fuses now has to be self-rolled!

          That’s not NEARLY as slow as the cigarette method. The cigarette fuse was a 2 inch fuse for a 15-25 minute-ish delay.

          You need time to not have to RUN away from things, you need to be able to casually stroll away so you don’t draw attention.

          Rolled Cigarettes from pipe tobacco still works. I also love how you can tell the people replying to this with “Oh you can just [YouTube Video]!” – have never actually used the method I’m mentioning.

            No. It doesn’t. Pipe tobacco self-extinguishes even faster than cigarettes these days. Bogarting isn’t allowed any more.

                I’ve been doing that for years now - keeping the damn thing lit is as difficult as getting it lit in the first place.

                Still tastes much better than normal cigarettes, though.

          How slow is slow fuse? Because the cigarette method was basically a 2 inch, 20-30-minute timer that was available at every corner store imaginable. You could vary the time by getting shorts, or 110s, and the filter was good at holding normal fuse in place.

            These days you can’t even get cigarettes at the supermarket or gas station anymore. At least in my country.

      It would probably also include how to use an Arduino and some wire to rebroadcast the proximity antenna from somebody’s wireless key fob inside of their home to their Tesla.

      Probably how to clone a SIM card so that you can use the phone for free.

      A handful of methods to root and jailbreak various phones to break them from carrier locks.

      There would be an entire chapter on Lora and how to set up a surveillance free local Wi-Fi network for your city with solar powered devices and QR codes to allow people to connect with their phones.

      And definitely a handful of links to kiwix copies of that book and possibly a few gigabytes of other similar books that can be shared by the same network.
