I had no significant outside world problems in the 90s and early 2000s.
You could get repair manuals and replacement parts for practically anything, and you could even get away with blowing up ant beds in your yard with improv devices.
Everything seemed to change after Hurricane Katrina though, like the flood waters wiped out all the ant beds I wanted to blow up.. ๐ข
9/11 in 2001 change quite a bit.
