Any of the following:
Wartime powers to lock things down domestically more than he already has been? That’s my BS guess.
Redneck General Grievous?
Currently, Hollow Knight, since Silksong finally comes out next week. Before that, a split between Kerbal Space Program and Nine Sols.
Potable water is good, perhaps wheat berries or ibuprofen would be good too.
As for an unorthodox answer, I’m going to say survival guides. Most people have some idea of how they might survive, but it couldn’t hurt to have a resource to fill any knowledge gaps.
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (because it was read to me)
Pirate’s Promise (first full book I read on my own)
Most recently, it was probably Rebel Moon. I didn’t have high expectations and thought it was going to be schlocky, but it was not the fun kind of shlock in the end.
Nice try, Baba Yaga.
Now, the serious answer is a few windows slide sideways and a few others slide up and down. All have screens to keep bugs out.
Bumfuck Buchenwald works and has the alliteration factor. Whatever the moniker, it never should’ve been established in the first place.
“Dipper, you’re a cool dude, but using me for this meme isn’t cool dude.”
Leto II. Deadpool was already taken, so I went with a more controversial example.
The Hydrogen Sonata by Iain M. Banks
The Golem & The Jinni by Helene Wecker
Perfect synopsis for the game Nine Sols?
Yeah, even as a fan of biotech/synthetic biology, this gives me the heebie jeebies. I would rather serious resources be devoted to the Virtual Physiological Human Project and then have hospitals have ubiquitous dedicated bioprinters that can make organs/tissues based on genetic data from a cheek swab. Also genetic records are either temporary and needing consented reapplication or are permanent yet completely transparent about what data the hospital has and how it’s being used/stored.
Beyond the easy answers of replicating the machine itself or covering basic needs, I think it would be interesting to make a super computer with a small form factor capable of mind uploading. Then you print a replacement body in a position that fits within a cubic meter and presumably you can extend your life for a bit. A simpler alternative would be to replicate medicines that have been shown to extend healthspans in the short term and just take them in the recommended dosage when you need to.
That there is an as of yet undiscovered loophole to either the no cloning theorem or the more general no broadcast theorem. I can understand the problems that are generated by either being true, but FTL communication and dataships are just so darn cool.
