my kinda ape posted:I think the zoning board may have dropped the ball here... I don't know what North Carolina has for laws, but there should be water quality monitoring going on. If the poo poo lagoons are properly built, there isn't any significant seepage into the water table and it's a mostly anaerobic environment which keeps the bacteria levels lower than you'd think. They're also supposed to be built to not overflow based on a certain interval flooding/rainfall probability. Which this hurricane is going to exceed of course, but still... aphid_licker posted:Hog farmers need to be hit with the hammer of the fuckin law. Every once in a while I'll get stuck behind a tractor with a tank full of pig poo poo while out running and it is just about the worst smell. They are allowed to just dump it on their fields here because the rules haven't been updated from back when we had mom and pop farms with a couple hogs instead of loving city-sized hog factories It's good fertilizer.

So when weather keeps up like this, what does that do over the long term to the terrain there? More coastal swamps?

Reading FB comments on the ''cop shoots man for being black while residing''. People are literally loving insane. These are comments from regular news sites. quote:More details are emerging. Have read that this officer was returning home after a FIFTEEN HOUR shift. Dallas has had a tremendously difficult time hiring and retaining officers; democrats have been in charge for a couple of decades now and have run the city into the ground. quote:This is just a terrible mistake! Doing the job she does, 14hr crime scene😞 It’s not like she set out and premeditate to kill him! She’s being charged and will get her day in court! Just a terrible tragedy 😞 quote:maybe a burglar that wanted to rape someone would answer the door in underwear? Maybe a crazy person? Maybe a whole lotta Things. Blue Lives Matter, the usual vet flake FB sites and such, they have mostly criticized the chief for handling this issue and how she is a disgrace for railroading the cop. Why yes, she is a black woman, the true criminal in this story.

Guy that looks identical to Martello that's a former active turned NG Major with a recent-ish tour to Afghanistan? The original acrticle when it happened provided more background.

WAR CRIME SYNDICAT posted:Either way, the video of that shoot is hosed. That cop just shot for no real reason. It’s not just a cop. It’s him, and he immediately felt loving remorse afterwards like “what the gently caress have I done?” according to the original article. It’s a lovely situation. With that said it’s not break into someone else’s apartment and shoot them in their underwear bad but still.

On the other side of the equation, my mom is trying to convince me that I need to evacuate and stay with her because of flooding. I live in a big concrete complex up high in an area that has ample drainage and not normally a flood risk. Moms: no sense of right and wrong

Specifically, the type that have giant lagoons of pig poo poo that just festers because it's cheaper to buy up a couple adjacent acres and build a basin than it is to responsibly dispose of it. They look like this. They're going to flood and the dumb fuckers will shrug because regulation/gods will.

EBB posted:Thanks fellas. I try my best with her, she just really will not do things unless she wants to. Feel free to tell your mom any of this if its useful. I've evacuated for >20 hurricanes in my life. Only once did we get any real damage / flooding to the property, so I can see why someone would start to feel like it's not worth leaving over. When Katrina came my dad waited until the last possible day to evacuate because he kept saying it was going to turn or going to weaken, just like everything else had in the past 20+ yrs. (Andrew turned at the last minute sparing our town and redistributing most of central LA instead). I was just starting my 1st week of grad school and was already out of town. So, my dad and mom at the age of 67 and 65 packed up the car in a hurry, left their cat and both dogs behind and got in a car. They had to beg for gasoline halfway through the trip because after waiting 3 hours in line the station closed due to being out of fuel. After 36 hours in the car taking what is typically a 6hr trip to Alexandria, LA well inland, my dad has been near delirious and drifting in and out of coherence for the past 12 hours. About 20 minutes before getting to extended families house my dad starts convulsing and going into shallow breathing. He holds on until they get to destination, manages to get out of the car and says "I don't feel well", walks inside the house and sits on the couch and dies from heart failure less than 5 minutes later. If they had taken this trip a day or two before, they could have gone to an ER and gotten my dad stabilized and then sheltered there, or had him evacuated to an inland hospital. Given the perpetual gridlock and now absence of cell service (overloaded), they had fewer options and were making bad decisions on no sleep. Even in Alexandria, a 6 hour drive inland not directly affected, they had to wait over an hour for 1st responders to arrive. The next day most of the stores nearby were out of water, perishable foods and gasoline with gasoline shortages / none at all occurring off and on for the next 14 days. Power was intermittent, going on and off for upwards of a day at a time for the next week. This was in an area not even directly affected by the storm apart from some rain and low level flooding. Cell and text service was practically nonexistent for almost a month as well. We knew 3 days after the storm that the house had been completely underwater with it going over the roof, so all the pets had died. It was >10 days before the Nat. Guard would even let us in to see if we could salvage anything from the house. We were lucky to even get that. Of the ~20 houses on our street ours was one of about 6 that was still even there. The rest had washed off their foundations and been churned up or simply floated / blown out into the Mississippi or the gulf swamp on the other side.
