Sand? They are speculating a year worth of rain in a very short time. Flash flooding is going to be insane. I suggest you do what we do during hurricanes on the right coast.

Evacuate.

Nothing is worth your life or the life of your family and friends.

I'm betting they are sharing the power with Belgium. So if thats the case they are being a great neighbor.

This how people are gonna find out how bad of an idea to allow the manufacturer to have that much control over your car after purchase. Tesla will shut their cars off if they find them jail breaked.

Just like the guy that wasn't allowed to fix the cooling hose on the battery Tesla's only option was to replace it. A third party fixed it but he still had concerns that they would shut it off (citing safety) because he wouldn't buy a whole new battery after he fixed it. Also barring him from quick charge stations was another concern.

This isnt just boomers, it's into Gen X too.

Boomers: 1946 to 1964: 59 - 77

Gen X: 1966 and 1980: 43 - 57

I have a friend that has tourrette's we have drag him kicking and screaming to go out. Its a horrible affliction, and he has one of the mildest forms. Just random head ticks no outbursts. Also he won't drink as the ticks become more frequent and extreme.

But we'll be damned that he stays hold in his house. After we get him out he enjoys himself once his nerves calm down and he realizes nobody is staring when he ticks.

Aaron was reddit, and since his passing its shit now.

RIP Mr Swartz, you are sorely missed.

Into the Wild was a cautionary tail that for some reason people romanticize...

Sub-standard "spicy pillows" need to be banned. The amount of energy and that fact that water or any normal ABC extinguisher cant put the fire out is enough for me to get really strict on regulating them. Especially in apartment/condos

I had this exact thing happen to me, they wanted me to move from a tax free state to LA. I said no and they came back we promised your position to another employee. I said ok I need at least a 50% raise to counter the cost of living and taxes. They balked and thought they could push me into it. I stood my ground to stay in my current position and they had to fire me, which looks bad on them as I had no infractions.

I collected, didn't have to pay back my relocation (over 20k) and had a job that I pushed off until near end of unemployment. Thanks for the free long vacation! I went to China and HK (this is before the chaos) for a few months

They nuked almost all my accounts the other day. I talked a bunch of shit on the direction they are going and missing Aaron's leadership. I walked away and here I am. One account I never log in on and with only 3 posts, perma banned. It was obviously targeted...
