https://twitter.com/MaddowBlog/status/905972054167617536 Another interesting and informative article from the times. From 2015. These guys sound familiar? quote:The Columbian Chemicals hoax was not some simple prank by a bored sadist. It was a highly coordinated disinformation campaign, involving dozens of fake accounts that posted hundreds of tweets for hours, targeting a list of figures precisely chosen to generate maximum attention. The perpetrators didn’t just doctor screenshots from CNN; they also created fully functional clones of the websites of Louisiana TV stations and newspapers. The YouTube video of the man watching TV had been tailor-made for the project. A Wikipedia page was even created for the Columbian Chemicals disaster, which cited the fake YouTube video. As the virtual assault unfolded, it was complemented by text messages to actual residents in St. Mary Parish. It must have taken a team of programmers and content producers to pull off.

Tarantula posted:I haven't seen much talk of houston here, I assume it's going about as well as it could there? It's still pretty flooded in places, traffic is an even worse nightmare than normal, and the stores are still somewhat understocked in certain things. Also, Amazon '2 day' shipping claims a delivery date of 9/15 but that's a bougie as hell complaint. But otherwise it's mostly fine if you were fine, or your house is still flooded and wrecked. A lot of the flooding has receded though, and things are slowly getting better. It was worse south of us.

Actually it's perfectly safe to eat raw chicken in a lot of the world. It's only when you scale up chicken farming up past a certain point that salmonella becomes an unfixable fact of life that you just have to accept is always likely present.

Mechafunkzilla posted:Galveston was wiped off the map by a hurricane about 100 years ago. They rebuilt it. Uh... not quite. Before 1900, Galveston was the largest city west of the Mississippi. After the hurricane flattened it, everyone fled. Today it's basically little more than a tourist spot. So yeah, "they rebuilt it" isn't entirely accurate.

Okay all caught up, IronStache owns, do not eat raw chicken ever you dumbasses, and Tammy Duckworth for president - there is not a single grain of jest in that last statement.  OOC I know more about food than you and it's not 'eww I think that's gross.'

And pretty much found worldwide? Like, why would you weigh in without glancing at the article, while also not knowing what you're talking about in the first place?

I am normally fascinated by OOCC food derails, but if the raw chicken one becomes a thing, I am going to barf, so if you consider participating, please have a debate about which kind of milk is the best instead (it's whole).

I had heard that it jumped the river at one of the narrower points, but the damage may be minimal. I'm hoping.
