expanding on knowledge in the old ways is never a waste!
A very very offtopic subject.Never hurts to prepare nor does it hurt to be prepared
Though, not sure the meaning to the 'Man U or Man City' (referncing)?
My philosophy is, prepping should revolve around your life, not your life revolving around prepping. Of course it's better to prep, but it shouldn't consume you.
I agree, for the most part prepping is to help sustain your life through tough times, not replace it! There are all types of personalities, some people just get 100% into whatever they are doing at the time. The homesteading/farming areas that I have gotten into are pretty consuming, as they take most of your time and are a way of life. I honestly am more content growing tomatoes (who would have thought, me?) than working 70 hr work weeks to be able to get that brand new Harley or sportscar. Don't get me wrong, people striving to have luxury items is a big part of keeping our economy going, and to each their own. I guess I have been on both sides of the spectrum, and probably had to to get where I am right now in life. My goal is to get set up for self sufficency so well that if the economy does collapse for whatever reason, I won't be too affected. I also enjoy the benefits of eating food that hasn't been chemically treated or processed, shipped long distance, and is fresh.
It used to have a lot more "foot" in it. In the 1980s, the school where I was in grad school won a lot of games by field goals, with the kicker often outscoring the quarterback. In the 1960's that same school sometimes punted on first down if they didn't like their field position and relied on the defense to get the ball back in better field position.
Before 1934 the American football was shaped like a Rugby football with rounded ends, and drop kicks were common for scoring field goals. The "Egg Bowl" is the annual game between Ole Miss (University of Mississippi) and Mississippi State. It is so called because the trophy is in the shape of the pre-34 football, which people now think looks more like an egg than a football.
The shape of the American football was changed in 1934 to have more pointed ends so that it would be more aerodynamic and that made the drop kick much more difficult because the ball would bounce unpredictably when dropped on its end. The last successful drop kick in American NCAA college football was in 1988. The last successful drop kick in NFL pro football was in 2006.

Thanks doc, I learned a little from you today too! I always thought foot ball should have been the name of soccer.It used to have a lot more "foot" in it. In the 1980s, the school where I was in grad school won a lot of games by field goals, with the kicker often outscoring the quarterback. In the 1960's that same school sometimes punted on first down if they didn't like their field position and relied on the defense to get the ball back in better field position.
