I heard that while you shouldn’t give a dog chocolate, low-cocoa chocolate like in a candy bar is less likely to be harmful but if you had dark chocolate with a high cocoa content that is more dangerous.

The compound that dogs are susceptible is called theobromine, an alkaloid, and a single chocolate bar can kill a small-medium sized dog. Because the compound comes from the cocoa, dark chocolate has a much higher concentration of it.

Is there a single place on Earth that isn't vulnerable to some sort of natural disaster? Earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, monsoons, flooding, tsunamis, tornados, volcanoes, blizzards, droughts, mudslides, avalanches, forest and grass fires... pick your poison. One or two of these happen where you live and when they do there'll be someone who lives where different ones happen calling you an idiot for living where you do. Because people instinctively believe the just world hypothesis and have to find a reason to reassure themselves it won't happen to them.

There's a difference living somewhere with known risks and being there without taking any precautions to mitigate said risks. I wouldn't call a person without the economic means to do so an idiot. Rich fucks who built houses in danger zones crying poverty are idiots among other things. I hassle my friends in Australia once in a while asking them how much of the country in on fire and how close it is to their house. Everybody is aware and do what they can, so no idiots, just have a laugh and rebuild.

The UK had something like 1,000 deaths from a heat wave a few years back, but that's something that could easily be solved with air conditioners. Seems like the least risk from natural disasters in the US at least is in the Pacific Northwest. Worldwide, these guys - https://i.unu.edu/media/ehs.unu.edu/news/4070/11896.pdf - say Qatar, but they're only rating entire countries.

The base isolation equipment they install in major infrastructure buildings in earthquake prone areas is insanely cool. The new Zuckerberg Hospital in San Francisco has 115 triple-pendulum bearings underneath it that effectively mean it isn't attached to the ground at all.

At some point the area will get hit again by an earthquake in the 8 to 9 magnitude range (something the San Andreas and other slip-strike faults aren't capable of approaching). FEMA has basically said that if that happens pretty much everything west of I-5 will be turbofucked. It'll make Katrina look like a picnic. And we have volcanoes. Some of Tacoma's suburbs are built on top of old pyroclastic flows. Mount Rainier is the most heavily glaciated peak in the Lower 48, and if/when it blows you can kiss places like Tenino and a big chunk of Puyallup goodbye. But we do have a mild climate, so that's nice.

Earthquakes are fairly manageable. Damaging ones happen far less often than other natural disasters, so even though a bad earthquake is bad your odds are still better in an area that gets earthquakes over one prone to hurricanes or flooding.

FEMA has basically said that if that happens pretty much everything west of I-5 will be turbofucked. It'll make Katrina look like a picnic. yeah, the pacific northwest is a time bomb. the safest place in continental us is idaho, which is why all the nazis move there so they can survive ww3, so it's not so safe after all now quote:In fact, the science is robust, and one of the chief scientists behind it is Chris Goldfinger. Thanks to work done by him and his colleagues, we now know that the odds of the big Cascadia earthquake happening in the next fifty years are roughly one in three. The odds of the very big one are roughly one in ten. Even those numbers do not fully reflect the danger—or, more to the point, how unprepared the Pacific Northwest is to face it. The truly worrisome figures in this story are these: Thirty years ago, no one knew that the Cascadia subduction zone had ever produced a major earthquake. Forty-five years ago, no one even knew it existed. quote:Among natural disasters, tsunamis may be the closest to being completely unsurvivable. The only likely way to outlive one is not to be there when it happens: to steer clear of the vulnerable area in the first place, or get yourself to high ground as fast as possible. For the seventy-one thousand people who live in Cascadia’s inundation zone, that will mean evacuating in the narrow window after one disaster ends and before another begins. They will be notified to do so only by the earthquake itself—“a vibrate-alert system,” Kevin Cupples, the city planner for the town of Seaside, Oregon, jokes—and they are urged to leave on foot, since the earthquake will render roads impassable. Depending on location, they will have between ten and thirty minutes to get out. That time line does not allow for finding a flashlight, tending to an earthquake injury, hesitating amid the ruins of a home, searching for loved ones, or being a Good Samaritan. “When that tsunami is coming, you run,” Jay Wilson, the chair of the Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Commission (osspac), says. “You protect yourself, you don’t turn around, you don’t go back to save anybody. You run for your life.”

Honestly most of the eastern US is pretty safe as long as you're not right on the coast. No fault lines or volcanoes, not flat enough for tornadoes, too wet for big forest fires, not a whole lot of flood plains around either. I'm in PA and the worst we ever see is a large snowfall, but even then it's nothing compared to what places farther north get.
