I’m not claiming to know anything about this specific flood. Sure might be sick idk.

But there’s a huge amount of crisis’ that got greater because of how we built, not what happened.

Take the flood in Pakistan last year. The same flood happening 50 years ago in the same area wouldn’t be such a catastrophe. What caused it to be so severe was the amount of people who had settled in a valley which is carved out by smelting water from glaciers. Building smarter is the most rational solution for short term gains. Stabilizing the climate is a much greater endeavour, and might be impossible short term.

For real though.

If you settle in an area famous for being a flood plain, you can’t be mad about it when the plain floods.

Germany are now doing experiments with controlled flooding of old flood plains to channel water away from too narrow man made canals. The flooding also kills invasive plants as they were only allowed to grow because of the geological changed forced upon the land.

interesting watch on the topic.

Lar summer in Norway we had a flood matching the regular high points. Only issue was that the last high point was almost 100 years ago. So people stopped caring and the areas close to the river was regulated as river front houses.

Climate change is an issue. But people being dumb as fuck is an even greater one.

It’s the best solution I’ve found. I’m convinced it’s a faulty product which everyone pretends is nice.

Someone who understands.

They’re usually very uniform. Loads of people use them regularly, but it’s so awkward to carry.

I rarely do, but when I do I’m just struggling with it. I prefer a back pack for all carrying purposes myself. I just don’t get how people haven’t given up on them.

It’s an old picture.

They’re not left out. They just have to purchase the right equipment for their condition.

They have excluded themselves from a segment of the market.

We have to stop infantilizing adults and actually tell grown ups what’s actually going on.

If everyone lived like developed countries we would need even less resources because the birth rate is so low we wouldn’t suffer over population. Also look at how less developed countries dispose of garbage.

Not denying how some developed countries send their trash to developing countries for disposal on the beaches. Fuck them. CEO’s and politicians responsible need the rope.

“I’ve had sand on my vegetables before. Can I wash them?”

I’ve found sand in salad multiple times. Not washing greens are weird.

Dutch?

When i visited Amsterdam i saw some pretty dangerous driving in the bike paths. High speed and heavy weight.

You are supposed to ask questions that might be viewed as stupid, and you should receive an answer without judgement.

If you do that though you will get fucked and asked to install Linux.

Ye. The control sticks issue is beyond stupid. I switched to hall effect sticks on two pairs. Its crazy you have to be able to disassemble and rebuild your joy-cons if you want them for more than 2 years max.

Nintendo made it hell getting them fixed. No way I have the receipt for a consol I bought over the counter 3-4 years ago. Also there is a 5 year guarantee on them where I live, so why would i even need the receipt anyway. Just fix your trash Nintendo.

A controller disconnecting every 5 minutes is not Nintendo like. I have never had any issues with wireless Nintendo controllers. Not on my own system or others.

Everything else is true.

Like Mont Blanc. Mountain white.

Origin of the title explains a lot.

I have gifted teachers Cognac before. Some decent bottle of liquor if they’re into that is fine. But early 20s might not be the target audience for brown spirits.

Make sure they’re not alcoholic or a recovering one.

I believe this is for ease of use. When using HF or MF you have to set the frequency yourself. That is a level above The required SRC - short range certificate needed for a VHF.

IMDb is great if you want to confirm that Shawshank redemption still is the top rated movie. I think IMDb is bad to find new fresh content.

See what’s trending, check the score. Is it streamable? If no. It’s stealable.

I quit reddit on my phone, and I’m never looking back. I’m still browsing Reddit with RES on my PCs though. So a drastic reduction in use.

Reddit feels like different now compared to a week ago. Browsing a new fresh site opened my eyes to how shit r/all are. Even with blocked subreddits a new hate fueled subreddit emerges every week.
