I read an article comparing Biden's response to Hurricane Helene and the death toll this caused and trying to equate the 2 incidents. These are nowhere close to the same.

Hurricane Helene

Roughly 250 people confirmed dead across 5 states Florida(population 23.37m), Georgia (population 11.18m), N Carolina (population 11.05m), S Carolina (population 5.48m), and Tennessee (population 7.23m). The total population across the 5 states is 58.31 million people. Math gives us a 0.0429 deaths per 10,000 people due to Hurricane Helene

TX Flooding

Thus far, the flooding is limited to the state of TX alone and mostly Kerr County with a population of roughly 54k people. Roughtly 120 people confirmed dead, and another 160 people still missing gives us a percapita rate of somewhere between 22.22 to 51.85 deaths per 10,000 people.

Comparison

The TX flooding is about 518 to 1209 times worse than the Hurricane Helene response.

I'm sure there is a completely normal reason, like she wanted to make sure all the dogs were dead, too.

100% this they'll always vote R or abstain from voting. The argument abstaining from voting causes low voter turnout, which elects elects more Rs doesn't matter.

I recall i was driving with a friend, and he was surprised I pulled up, leaving only a feet between my car and the car in front of me. I asked him why.

He said he grew up in an area prone to car-jackings. His dad taught him to leave that extra space in case someone tries to car-jack you. The extra space is so you're not boxed in by the driver in front and can get around them no matter what. Even if you have to jump the curb and escape on the sidewalk.

I agree that the sensor lights are annoying to deal with, but perhaps the driver has a reason.

While I would applaud this move, I still won't support Odors agenda in any way I can control

It's more like previously frozen fish that was refrigerated and left in the sun to thaw for a week

Project Hail Mary Andy wier returns to the roots of The Martian. Also, movie is coming next spring about it.

Dark Matter Some deep physics stuff occurs, but the story can be followed with no knowledge of super position. Also released as a mini series on some streaming channel

Any time I hear some one complaine about " Wokeness" or DEI o ask them to define it or which part of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion do they not like.

You get a lot of panicked answers

I was recently told my services were no longer needed. I was the lone supplier quality engineer for 30 plants where a majority of our suppliers were in Mexico and their English was limited at best. They hired someone in Mexico and got rid of me in less than a week.

For months, I told my boss I could not handle all the supplier issues our plants are having by myself. On a given day, I'd get between 70 to 120 emails with about a third of those being in English.

If there is one thing the Conservative Majority SCOTUS likes is a to "answer" a question no one is asking.

Citizens United was based off an FEC decision about the Michael Moore, a commercial film maker, the docudrama Farenheite 9/11 which was critical of the Bush administration's response to the 9/11 territorist attacks. The Complaint was the film was political advertisement 60 days before a general election. The FEC decided the film could be aired before the 2004 election as it didn't support one candidate and only referenced how it was handled not current commentary In advertisements, and therefore was not not a political advertisement for a single candidate.

In response, Citizens United produced a "documentary" Celcius 41.11" which was critical of the Farenheite 9/11 and John Kerry's actual policies. The FEC ruled this was clearly was a political advertisement put out by not a bona fide commercial film studio, and therefore could no be aired 60 days out from a general election.

What was argued to SCOTUS: Celcius 41.11 should be legal bc we did like Farenheite 9/11 and do not like John Kerry's 2004 presidential policies

What SCOTUS ruled: Coperations could spend unlimited funds to be critical of an individual's policies just so long as there was no coordination between the corporation and the candidate that said that the corporation supports
