Really we should be asking (I want to know) why FEMA invented their own USAR standards instead of adopting the INSARAG ones? Why the US have put so much more money into USAR and not flood and storm response? Surely after Harvey and Katrina, not to mention tornadoes, you’ve learned that having something like Australia’s SESs would provide you with surge capacity of people skilled in storm damage mitigation and flood rescue? I really would like to know

Well, poor black people at least

Like… a water tank?

Mitch Hedberg jokes while high is a pretty smart move. Either that or you’re the only person who finds them funny and end up looking like an idiot.

1 in 1000 year events are poorly named. One because it describes a likelihood, so this storm had a 0.1% chance of occurring in any given year, so we’d expect to see a storm like this once every thousand years on average. It’s not cyclical. Two, the likelihood of these storms is steadily increasing and so it’s probably no longer a 1 in 1000 year event.

Almost certainly not. It’s common in some communities for people to write their own image transcriptions.

This is a good video about who shouldn’t be sharing pictures of their keys online: https://youtu.be/6mr-7hjItX0?si=zx8QnEX1P_QpTN8U. If you’re a nobody who doesn’t share pictures of their home you will probably be ok.

None of them, they all grow it in their backyards or harvest it in the wild

Given that he said he had no money for a funeral I’m guessing he was planning to pull her body out one day and go “oh my goodness, she’s dead!” and have a funeral rather than just try to continue collecting her pension in perpetuity.

I doubt Trump’s followers will think of this as a breach of their 2A rights. They will likely think that it’s black people and bad actors who will have their guns taken for the safety of the boys in blue.

True, zip ties would also fit in that category

I’d go for jumpers, tape, and a tarp. Using the car battery makes it seem like your car battery died. Rope would also make it creepy.

I say “look it up”. Applies to lots of forms of search, be it google, DDG, YouTube, Wikipedia, a dictionary, a manual, pretty much anything.

I did not like it, but you make a good point; it’s good for people to try new and different things in order to stand out in a competition like that. However, why we care what anyone thinks except for the breaking community is beyond me. Why should anyone care about my opinion when this is the first time in years I’ve even thought about breaking? I want to hear what actual pros think, not randos from xitter.

Translation:

I am very lucky that my partner has similar ideas and interests about urban transport infrastructure and policy as I do.

Why are outdoors cats so widely accepted? We have had cats for millennia. They are deeply ingrained in our cultures. We have known about their impact on local wildlife for less than 100 years. It will take time for it to be socially unacceptable to have a cat that is allowed outside.

I watched it instead of doing an assignment in high school. Made a lot of sense and little difference.

Spot on!

Worse still is the pronunciation of “bologna”. How. Just how. None of you seppos have the right to tell me about how I pronounce “herbs” or “pecans”. Then again, our pronunciation of “lieutenant” is messed up.
