LOL, (accidentally) called it!
Hi, civil engineer* here. Nah, fam: a lot of the time we don't even use formulas; we just look shit up in tables or interpolate on a graph!
(* To be fair, (a) I specialized in traffic, and (b) I didn't do all that much professional work as a civil engineer before switching to software "engineering" instead. That's even less mathematically rigorous most of the time, LOL.)
...and Trump doesn't intervene in the same conflict.
Or intervenes more... to help the genocide proceed faster.
BTW, he'd also hand Ukraine to Russia so that's another genocide right there.
What I'd heard is that importing a bunch of Haitians was helping to fix the place.
what use cases do you have in mind that require root access?
Ownership.
From the article, it sounds like the first couple mentioned in the article already weren't able to get insurance this time.
Hiers and her husband Clint were still finishing the electrical work in the home they painstakingly rebuilt themselves, wiping out Clint’s savings to do so. They never will finish that wiring job.
Hurricane Helene blew their newly renovated home off its four foot-high pilings, sending it floating into the neighbor’s yard next door.
...
The Hiers, like many others here, can’t afford homeowner’s insurance on their flood-prone houses, even if it was available. Residents who have watched their life savings get washed away multiple times are left with few choices...
Don't mind me; I was just going for linguistic flourish rather than exact verisimilitude.
Haha yt-dlp go brrrrrr
Do you have any dislike or fear of giraffes? If yes and no, you might look into getting some giraffe...
Okay, I'm interested...
...dolls
Oh.
"Climate change is real and man-made" is not an emotion-based statement. "Outlawing abortion worsens medical outcomes for pregnant women" is not an emotion-based statement. "Children do better in class when the school system offers free lunches" is not an emotion-based statement. "Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around" is not an emotion-based statement.
Frankly, there are an absolute fuck-ton of things that are simple statements of fact that conservatives delusionally take issue with. Factual reality is not a matter of opinion and I'm not only sick and tired of conservatives trying to make it into one, but perhaps even more sick and tired of 'enlightened centrists' carrying water for them!

It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.
In case you’re confused - if you’re not rich and powerful, you’re not a shareholder. You’re an employee or a commodity or an expense, and you exist to enrich the shareholder class.

Image Description:
a battle scene set in a British village street, featuring a dismounted Territorial Army cyclist, in uniform and chin-strapped forage cap, loading his rifle. Behind him stand two more members of the battalion, one firing his rifle, the other placed his bicycle against a wall. In the background, the remainder of the battalion come to join them.

It's absolutely wild that the brunt of the impact was clear on the opposite end of the state from the coast.
