Skippy McPants posted:This only applies to California: here's an article with a decent summary. More annual rainfall, but constricted into a narrower timeframe leading to worse flooding and worse fires. Weee! The fires will get worse and will spur more forest care so can be moderately handled. More landslides and flooding, though, and a helluva lot more coastal erosion. More annual rainfall does mean more snowpack, which is good for the state. The big thing I'm worried about is having ARk Storms as 50 year events. That storm is loving brutal and will destroy the state.

someone recommended this comedy podcast about the evil Resnicks, and although I am not familiar with the comedians, it was pretty good, just fast forward a bit after the beginning. https://thedollop.libsyn.com/356-the-resnicks-water-monsters ...the first 5 minutes are about other stuff. there was also this Oligarch Valley e-book from 2013 (that despite some clumsy editing) covers all of it including the Tejon Ranch scumbags that own the Highway 5 "Grapevine" https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Through-Oligarch-Valley-ebook/dp/B00FPGZ59U Keyser_Soze fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Feb 27, 2019 |

Podcasts are essentially offline media and unless the player you're using reports back, there's no way to track metrics like who listens to what ad.

The actual dust bowl (as opposed to the fake advertised one in southern california) is a great example of a tragedy of the commons. It happened because of systemic problems created by farming and land use laws, not because dirt farmers in oklahoma were stupid greedy bastards. ...which undoubtedly some of them were, of course, but that's irrelevant. Government has to restrain private industry when the economic incentives for each individual or company lead to systemic overexploitation of a shared resource, or disaster will happen, every goddamn time.

Shelters for all sorts of disasters are set up on an ad-hoc or on-demand basis depending on the type and location of the shelter. That said: https://www.disasterassistance.gov/ includes lookups with your zip code or address to find the nearest shelter during an emergency.

Turtlicious posted:How is there not an app that pulls public databases and tells you where the closest nuclear shelter is? Unless you live near a missile silo there ain't no such thing. Small scale fallout shelters were always bullshit. California's garbage for underground work anyway so there's not even any good subway systems to hide in. Best bet is to just move up north, there's nothing on any target maps between Sacramento and the Puget Sound. You're even out of the fallout plume once you're out of the valley.

Fallout shelters are for fallout. If you're anywhere near to the blast, you're dead anyway. The shelters are supposed be a place to hide until the fallout has subsided and you can get on with the business of

If there's any large concrete structures near you with a 3rd level basement that's your best bet. For protection from the gamma rays it's best to just go like 10 feet underwater.

PG&E identified the transmission lines that caused the Camp fire as needing to be replaced in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. Each time it was pushed off due to the cost of $30.3 million. https://www.wsj.com/articles/pg-e-delayed-safety-work-on-power-line-that-is-prime-suspect-in-california-wildfire-11551292977 quote:PG&E Delayed Safety Work on Power Line That Is Prime Suspect in California Wildfire

no no you see, if regulators approve rate increases to cover transmission costs, that means PG&E can't spend more money than that on transmission costs profits are sacred! You can't spend the built-in, guaranteed-by-law profits on cost overruns!
