Nice touch of detail.

I’ve seen ads on TV for it. I also happened across Jack Frags streaming a campaign playthrough yesterday on YouTube. I briefly tuned in to see what the campaign was like. His game crashed a few minutes later and he mentioned it was the 4th crash so far during his stream… So I stopped watching. I haven’t bought any COD since the original Black Ops and wasn’t going to buy this one but that did not inspire confidence.

As someone who has always been around people speaking broken English, it becomes very easy to interpret word jumbles and mistranslations.

He is trying to say that we use energy (presumably he is talking specifically about fossil fuels) for everything and in ways that people may not even realize it. He is saying that without fossil fuels society can’t function.

Can you explain what the process is?

Assisted full self driving is an oxymoron.

The article is about North Carolina. That’s where the devastating flooding outside of flood zones was. Obviously there are wider implications nationwide but it’s not a Florida specific problem.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.
