Realistically, the places that get “flattened” are beach areas or inland areas on tidal waterways like major rivers. The vast majority of after storm damage for folks is roof damage from wind and property damage from airborne debris.

This isn’t to downplay storms at all, but if you’re in a modern house (concrete construction, roof straps, raised lot elevation), not in the direct path of the eye, and not on the beach, your residence will likely be fine. Know your area, assess the risks, and make the choice safest for you.

Flooding is almost always the lethal part of these storms and that’s the purpose of the mandatory evacuations, it’s to prevent people from being trapped and forcing emergency responders to risk their lives needlessly.

On god. I bought four god damn copies of it and it still wasn’t enough.

The founder literally started it because he found it difficult to rent out his vacation home. Fuck him and his vacation home.

It literally happens every Olympics and people lose their mind every time. Same with “funny shooting stance” memes.

Are they back in stock? I’ve looked off and on for months and every time they’re back ordered, and I refuse to pay scalper prices.

For real, friends in discord were aghast at this, and I’m thinking “bro I’ve heard you tell your kids to shut the fuck up.”

Both. It allowed/forced me to explicitly handle edge cases I wasn’t thinking about. That means the error doesn’t happen at run time, but at compile time (or while writing!) so technically speaking the errors didn’t go away, they moved to in my face rather than “maybe in the future.”

Most of the time the remedy was to explicitly catch whatever happened and nicely explain what happened, vs looking at empty production logs because logging is turned down.

It’s certainly a preference, but for me, I’d rather argue with the compiler all day long and push a bulletproof release than quickly ship something I thought was good and be embarrassed.

Anecdotally I converted a python app to rust and suddenly had no more runtime errors. It’s utter bliss.

Saw a lot of criticism of this song harping on how generic and simple the riff is. And I agreed, it’s kind of Kublai Khan’s schtick. But they’re capable of more interesting rhythms, and I realized it was definitely an intentionally “low tech” rhythm. Brought me back around.

Forget those complex “classic” knots and try the “Van Wijk” knot. It couldn’t be easier, you only move the fat end of the tie and wrap it around the skinny end 2-4 times before pulling the fat end through the wraps. So fast, impossible to forget, and looks classy while being distinct.

I’ve been stuck in Winter’s Heart for months, maybe even approaching a year now. I might finish it by the time i have grandkids.
