  1. Congrats to teddy ruxpin
  2. Just the guad?
  3. Side note to your side note- the companies don’t get to name their own drugs.
  4. That’s another thing- between the cost of camp there and the means of the campers’ families (not to mention the grown camp alumni), they probably could have privately funded their own system for their stretch of riverfront. maybe they can’t do anything upstream for a real early warning, but were there no height sensors along the bank on their property to notify of rising water? I wonder what the camp’s hold harmless waiver looks like and how well it could hold up.
  5. The estate is not.
  6. I listened to it and was puzzled myself. Are we all the colonizers she talked about? When she says destruction of America does she mean it literally like we all go back to our immigrant root countries? Or just destruction of the current American cultural and social architecture in favor of something more inclusive?
  7. Seems like it would be useless, other than a heads up that you are about to die.
  8. Saw a social media post explaining cloud seeding, attached to a map of where it happens, and postulates that heavy rain events might be due to this practice. So there’s still an alternate path for them to cling to.
  9. Like making floodwaters recede? Of course, I don’t believe he believes his words. Tim minchin addresses my thoughts with similar snark in one of his songs about prayer actively changing the world via god. But that’s too snarky for this thread. I hope the majority of prayers are for peace and understanding and the like. I can support such thoughts and efforts.
  10. Pic that accompanies the meme about the worst person you know making a good point that you agree with
  11. It’s how they cope. It’s fine. To me it feels disingenuous to paradoxical, but to those folks it’s helping them process and be ok with their world.
  12. No- if you put harmful chemicals into the atmosphere that incidentally alter weather and temperature, that’s fine.
  13. I didn’t even know we could set the spacing to justified
  14. Yeah it’s unheard of for the Jerrell area to experience localized severe weather!
  15. What kind of janky cut do you get for $11/lb? I never see anything good for under 15 anymore.
  16. No early warning system?
  17. Yep. At the camp level, I don’t know what is supposed to happen, but my instinct is that with 800 female kids in one area especially you’d have one or more people on active roving patrol all night long for any number of predatory issues as well as just problems that occur at night with that many kids in one place. On top of that, the camp should have been aware of the overnight flood watch and been on heightened alert and listening to radio or otherwise getting weather updates, and been ready to take action. It’s difficult to believe any of this happened, but we will see eventually. then there’s the local government response. This one is tougher, because it’s not their job to go door to door to make sure everyone is aware. But theee seems to be an extended time delay between the flood warnings and city/county broadcasting of them. And there’s no phone tree for certain areas- especially the places with large congregations of people? You claim you know that you are in flash flood alley and are no stranger to floods- and you know you don’t have the siren warning system- so what is your procedure?
  18. Adam and Eve also ships orders in unmarked packaging.
  19. More rain happening/coming
  20. Looking for brown people is all the feds want to spend money on. i figure she was there to stock the river with gators.
