What surprised me most about Helene was the ground speed. I don’t remember seeing any hurricane make landfall in the US moving at over 20mph. As a casual observer I have anyways seen 12 mph as a quick storm and 6 mph as slow.

They are habitable with the correct building codes. Northern Florida historically got very few hurricanes so the buildings are not hurricane resistant. The fact that their house floated away is the red flag that the home could never survive a hurricane. Houses in South Florida are concrete block exteriors. In the Keys you can’t have any living space at all on the first floor too.

It does make it much more expensive to build but I see that rule becoming necessary in all coastal areas.

The extreme damage will be when hurricanes start making regular landfall in even less historically hurricane prone areas (see Western NC getting hit by the same storm at a fraction of the strength it hit Florida with). We already had hurricane Sandy fuck up NJ. It won’t be pretty when a similar storm hits Philly, NYC, DC, etc.

Any time I look at the front page: AITA for not speaking to my sister after she murdered my husband and children? My mom says I’m being to hard on her.

Western Carolina is a place I have thought would be ok as climate change progresses…

I would argue there are limits. An art piece being used as a suicide booth falls into the category of not being essential enough that it must remain openly accessible to the public. A bridge or train tracks being used for suicide should not be closed off.

They have a trigger safety. It looks almost like a tiny trigger within the trigger. Essentially means that it will only fire if you pull the trigger. It makes sense for trained personnel since they won’t be pulling the trigger unless they intend to fire and mistakenly leaving a safety on when you need to shoot can get you killed. Still seems very sketchy to me even though I understand that logically, it’s just as safe.

It’s essentially just a jig to use regular utility blades to quickly cut strips of equal width.

He had a knife, had stated he was going to kill them, and was allegedly charging at them. Apparently they also used tasers on him but they were ineffective. But otherwise yes, safety is one factor.

I had never heard about him blowing up Kid Cudi’s car

Tess of Tuberville: a modern take on a classic.

Nah cut here to open is worse. It’s always an inch above where you actually need to cut.

Yeah I was talking about this one particular journalist.

I’ve always heard the figure being 12 million total. I actually saw an older piece of material recently that mentioned the total as being 11 million.i agree that saying Jews were a majority is incorrect and misleading but I don’t think it’s intentional misinformation. It was the largest individual group.

Sometimes I read highly pivoted comments with info that is plain wrong and think I’m taking crazy pills.

This whole thread is very pedantic but in chemistry when someone refers to chlorine, they are usually referring to Cl2. I think in IUPAC naming chloride is reserved for for ions. Like dichloromethane (IUPAC) and methylene chloride (also common name).

No feet?

Yes it is the money but more so the effect. They will give so much money to your opponent that you can’t win. We need campaign finance reform in order to get anything done. Big money holds this country hostage.

I think it makes more sense to tax the shares at the time they are received (as income). Then they can be taxed again at the time of sale if they have increased in value.

It’s missing the US Mk 1. From the wiki:

In 1917, the Mk 1 grenade was created.

However, it became apparent that the Mk 1 grenade was quite difficult to use in the field. The grenades were often not ignited properly before being thrown, and enemies would return the grenade, this time properly lit.
