The houses in Florida are built considering hurricanes, so they are more sturdy. Also, Florida is super flat and it has been raining everyday for months, so the ground was permeable but a little full already. Because it's also near the ocean, the water can spread out into sea quickly.

The houses in NC are much less sturdy, so they would be more susceptible to wind damage. Also, because of the mountains, the valleys become pools of flood water. The ground there is much harder than in Florida, so it doesn't absorb the rain as much. Since the pools are in the mountains, there's only two ways for the water to leave. For the lucky valleys that aren't entirely surrounded, the water can escape through the gaps making temporary rivers. The other route is through evaporation, which takes a long time. This delays the ability of recovery efforts because people literally can't even get to the disaster zone.

I'm glad you're safe.

Anyone else feel like that in less than month, we might be remembering the good ol' days?

If Trump wins, who knows how much he will destroy the country. If he loses, he won't calmly accept defeat. Surely, he and his flying monkeys have a plan in place already. They've had 4 years to prepare.

I had uninstalled snap a while ago. This just popped up in my update list on Discover (KDE Neon).

Comet C/2023 A3's coma is about 2.8 feet in diameter and the tail measures about 16.9 feet in length.

Its closest approach to Earth will be on Oct. 11 or 12, according to BBC Sky at Night. It will still be about 44 million miles away.

It's so tiny! I'm surprised we can see something that small from such a far distance.

For observers in the Northern Hemisphere, comet C/2023 A3 can be found in the constellation Sextans and will rise one hour before the sun, according to Astronomy.com.

The comet will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere in the evening, just after sunset, when it is low in the southwestern sky.

I'm confused. Is the best time to see it just before sunrise or just after sunset??

That's the only way I use it. I auto-start the panel applet, and it connects automatically for me. My only complaint is that if I let it choose "the best" server to connect to, it picks a server in another state more often than not, and I rather it only pick servers in my state. As a work-around, I force a specific server in my state. The downside is that it probably makes me more trackable to sites since I connect to them from the same IP every time, but I'm sure it doesn't really matter since they finger print my browser. I'm more concerned with encrypted communication than anonymity anyway. It's not like the bank or YouTube doesn't know it's me when I sign in.

If anyone knows how to make it select among servers within a specific state automatically on auto-start, pls let me know.

I'm guessing they learn to make the first few bombs explode by remote so that they are far enough to be safe. Once they feel confident making a specific bomb, they stop with long remote detonators since they are fairly certain it doesn't need to be tested.

I don't call any of my friends losers. If I call them a weirdo, I mean it as a compliment. I'm a weirdo myself. I don't think the problem is your sex life or desires. The problem might be that you don't have strong boundaries. Maybe have a boundary where you won't tolerate being called a loser. Tell them you don't like that. If they continue to do so, then stop hanging out with them. If they get upset, that's their problem. You don't have to tolerate that. Even better, there are people out there that don't want to call you a loser. You just haven't found them yet, and it's going to be hard to find them if you keep spending time with people that don't want you to be respected.

Maybe Marx was right?

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, [administrator and worker, MBA and engineer, director and doctor, landlord and tenant], in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another..."

I wouldn't be surprised if the USSR tried to implement something like that lol

In other terms, West Virginia's 2020 population size was 8.3% of Florida's. As someone that grew up in Florida most of their life, I find that the culture has made a pronounced change since my childhood.

 

I'm really looking for what may have been the driving motivation and reward. The focus is on your personal drive for the interest and what you gained from it.

We can't have meaningful conversations if people are scared to be honest, so please be authentic, forthcoming, and respectful. Conversely, please respond to others with compassion so that users feel safe enough to be vulnerable.

 

Relevant excerpt, emphasis is mine:

Rubio's maternal grandfather, Pedro Victor Garcia, immigrated to the U.S. legally in 1956, but returned to Cuba to find work in 1959. When he fled communist Cuba and returned to the U.S. in 1962 without a visa, he was detained as an undocumented immigrant and an immigration judge ordered him to be deported. Immigration officials reversed their decision later that day, the deportation order was not enforced, and Garcia was given a legal status of "parolee" that allowed him to stay in the U.S. Garcia re-applied for permanent resident status in 1966 following passage of the Cuban Adjustment Act, at which point his residency was approved. Rubio enjoyed a close relationship with his grandfather during his childhood.

Something shady happened, y'all.

 

What are the chances that he stays alive through the following milestones:

  1. Testify on tape
  2. First day of trial
  3. Verdict
  4. Sentencing
  5. Sept 16, 2025 (1-year since arrest)
  6. Sept 16, 2029 (5-year mark)
