That was after Helene. Is an exact amount really necessary when it’s obvious places and people are GONE?

That’s my superpower. Everyone goes to voicemail.

I love this because even though I read the words, I interpreted it to mean something else for a second. (atoms and galaxy) Be careful when you read things and don’t assume you know something.

Vote first of course. Repeatedly remind my various reps that RCV is important for the future and to support current bills or get new ones started. Election reform during off years is probably more important since that’s when no one is thinking about it and yet it’s when changing it will affect the next term.

Wish me luck, my state is NC. Just getting enough democrat reps is difficult enough.

I didn’t clarify. I was talking about Jill Stein. She has a lot of promises on her website.

I think that’s a Congressional thing, not a President one. But I’m sure she’s promising it. Correct me if it’s something that a President can declare as an executive order, but that wasn’t my impression.

Btw, I think the way to get RCV federally is to make it statewide, and that’s started already, plus there’s a bill in Congress for the second time.

It bugs out for some if I don’t include it. That’s the fediverse for you.

Protesting, public pressure in other ways, pressure through other representatives in Congress. Also the same to try and get the voting system changed so minority parties can have more effect, bending the major ones to have to talk about issues that for now are easy to avoid (the both sides, even if that’s not entirely true). Another factor is lobbying, that needs to be restricted so large entities like corporations can’t basically buy loyalty.

I would point out that any vote, even for Stein, is unconditional, so there’s no way to avoid that. To make politicians keep their policy the public has to be engaged past the election.

Even if all of that is debatable, my main point is that a vote for Stein won’t get any change. One of the two choices that can win the election has some chance, even if small. Whether that be from citizen pressure or them getting the power of office and doing things themselves.

Voting for Stein in a FPTP voting system doesn’t solve the problem that’s been turned into a one issue campaign slogan. Even if she was the perfect candidate. The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election, and out of those two choices, suddenly who to vote for is obvious. If it wasn’t already.

has some solid info not only on the current data and what to expect, but WHY these things can happen.

Both characters ended up helping the main characters out. Granny knew Maggie would never be happy unless she went with Alex. And while what the Talos did to Pike was bad (but them trying to survive) their offer to him in his time of need was sort of a redemption.

What’s bugged me for years now - people in a live chat during a weather update who will ask if their location will be affected, WHILE THE MAP IS ON SCREEN. Proof that we have so many uneducated people that can’t even locate where they are on a map.

Especially in a situation like this, when someone says “I’m in X, Florida, will I get a storm?” The answer is yes. Prepare to get a storm, dumbass. You all are supposed experienced hurricane survivors, you should know all this. The probability cone covers the damn state.

“But what if I prepare and it misses me?”

“…”

The majority Republican NC congress is the antithesis of the idea of working together for the public good.

They also had sunk all their savings into that rebuild. How do you think about trying a third time when you have nothing to even work with?

Party before doing his damn job.

He was claiming he had a helicopter that couldn’t land due to FAA rules or some stupid crap. Whatever happened to that? The tweet reminded me of a troll in a forum who everyone is ignoring and he keeps shouting he’s being shadow banned because he’s right.

A stalled hurricane doesn’t have to be large. Fran is an example back in history, and Harvey in more recent. But stalled storms also has its origin from climate change, because the weather steering systems are broken and cause/allow it.

There were warnings for Georgia and the southern Appalachia, but the storm moved so much faster at the end and carried so much water inland. The ability to hold more water in the atmosphere has been an ongoing concern from climate scientists, and this is a clear example of how it can lead to disaster.

He talked about using nukes before he got elected, people still voted for him. A trump voter isn’t going to be swayed by logic or facts or ethics.

There’s emissions for any activity, but the nuclear fuel cycle seems pretty spread out to suggest it’s anything comparable to what the fossil fuel chain of fueling is like.
