It's pretty much on the money. Infrastructure and preparedness are the real factors of surviving a hurricane. A majority of new houses and buildings in FL are now cement or steel construction in response to Andrew and then the 2004 hur

Not the commentor, but I think they're referring to those flood zones that were recently built on that were the worst hit by flooding. To be fair, those parts were disasters waiting to happen because the flood surveys weren't take

I'm mostly going to split hairs here. I mostly agree with you. But I'd say the real destabilizing problem in the USA has been the partisan attitudes in politics. You could almost claim that America is 2 countries, Democratia and R

What do you mean by worsened? Frequency? Intensity? Recovery response? As a general sentiment, things have gotten better since Hurricane Andrew in 1993. That was the first, modern major wake up call for Florida. Massive changes to building

Um... because there are no chemical plants of any sort in Florida...? I dont know what fantasy image of Florida you have, but we have refineries and nuclear plants here too sweetheart. It's not just shacks and gator swamp here. I live

Yea... they all mean the same thing. I think they're trying to split some imaginary hairs.

The danger mentioned is realistic and should be taken seriously. However, for those who dont live in a hurricane danger zone (I'm in Florida), these doomsday articles are a normal, everyday thing. Every single year since I was 12 and p

Let me add on. Your average big tree (oak, pine, maple, etc) after about 10 years of age, collect about 40 pounds of carbon dioxide every year. Again, averages, there are plenty of factors. I use that as a way to visualize the problem with

Holy shit... anyone reading that doesn't understand, follow that link and follow along. That was... terrifying when you think of the ramifications. What's more interesting with glasses, my blindspot is larger than without my glass

Yea, but the problem with that, contagions don't work linearly. It doesn't take many missteps to screw up the whole thing. That, and the whole mask thing is starting to smell more like the crap from the 1950s, "If you see a n

I was totally in agreeance with emergency action in March and partially through April. However, limits have to be instill in said emergency action or you get something like the perpetual War on Terror. Many political leaders want to keep th

No... the models were wrong in January, along with the constant fear mongering. The usa did not have 80% social distancing compliance. It was far less. Next part, is it still winning if more people commit suicide due to the countermeasures

What? I was using that as a parallel. The original comment, which was taken down, in discussion was about governments using covid as a means to take away individual's rights. There are plenty of warning signs of that happening across t

Except the lockdowns result in economic harm, causing folks to lose their jobs and sink them further into debt. And if it's only debt, then they're lucky. Suicide has been on the rise since the social isolation and lockdowns, then

A little extreme yes, but they're not off base by much. The early warning signs of the dangers big silicon valley companies pose started popping up in the late 2000s. The folks mentioning it, like Facebook being a vector of high manipu

Huh... that's super interesting you said that. As a conservative, the entire "magazine" feels more leftist, snowflake to me. Avoiding painful, tough self-responsibility and action in life is what stuck out to me in this. Seri

Yea... you know, surgery is extremely painful. It can sometimes be worse than whatever is the reason you're getting cut open. The recovery period is a nightmare too sometimes. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Non-religi

You know, for a long, long time Apple users claimed that Macs were unhackable. That was part of the hype and appeal for a long time. Problem was, Macs didn't reach critical mass in market penetration during those "unhackable years

The fact all you talked about was the work and not yourself, you are living to work. You're taking work home with you. You probably think about work while showering and brushing your teeth. Stop. What are your work hours? 9am to 5pm? Y

Didn't reply to the article. I replied to a comment talking about why the comments are against a vaccine in the first place.

Yea, sorry, but I have to call anecdotal bs on these claims. Every person in the news I've seen that claims long term problems are obese individuals looking to make excuses. Other "damages" are so random and all over the plac

Not opposed to vaccines. Opposed to rushed, poorly tested, politicized pharmaceuticals. Poorly tested drugs have severe consequences. Just because you WANT a miracle, doesn't mean the first person offering one will actually help.

Look, 1 death is 1 too many. But let's step back for a moment from this "The world is ending" dialogue. Global deaths as of 08/10 according to the John Hopkins' tracker is at 732k. It hasn't been a year yet, bu

Yea, was going to say the same. I'm personally sick and tired of hearing "the new normal". No, it's temporary, get over the doomsday fetish. I swear this is worse than those hardcore preppers who pray for an apocalypse.

No, docs tell people to lose weight, but theres a movement where that's considered fat shaming and "wrong". You being epically confused is natural. I was too when I stumbled across an article about this, then found that there
