may the lurker cop please announce themselves. we will make you welcome belljar and everyone please keep in mind that jbp is wildly and unashamedly racist, it doesn't negate his usefulness on other matters but it is something we must all try to remember. so he deserves the occasional punishment, even if it's undeserved, just as like a karmic thing

Cartoon posted:I forgot to mention. The fire took out all the local landlines and there is no mobile coverage on my side of the valley. The fire was watch and act and there had been some completely scatter gun general txt warnings. I received on 7/11 at 9:37 pm (AKA no way to get said message until after I left home at ~ 8 am on the 8th. "NSWRFS - Multiple fires in area. Potential threat to homes Nth of Oxley Hwy, South of Kempsey Rd & West of Pacific Hwy. Check https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au or 1800679737" How exactly are they supposed to update the fire location to this seemingly exacting standard? Don't some of these fires move at a 100k an hour and by the time someone sees it, tells someone, updates a map and puts it up, it could be a dozen kilometres away? (I do not live in a place that this will impact, so I don't understand what you expect?)

One thing I’ve noticed about the RFS app is a tendency to get the details of small towns / hamlets wrong and never correct those mistakes, ever.

While he's at times infuriating, he's far from the biggest dickhead in this thread. Sometimes he even manages to contribute. That said, that probie was 100% valid, but because this thread is largely an unpoliced shithole, and some posters ITT have grown accustomed to that, hence the disbelief at a multi-dayer over a post that would have never flown anywhere else on this dead gay internet comedy forum.

Don't some of these fires move at a 100k an hour and by the time someone sees it, tells someone, updates a map and puts it up, it could be a dozen kilometres away? The RFS site is given as the place to look for information. At no point on Friday during daylight hours was the Carrie East fire listed beyond Watch and Act. It was also not shown to be anywhere North of the Macleay river Yet it managed to burn through the village of Willawarrin and virtually to my door step BEFORE the first emergency broadcast (Txt was made.). This Txt gives no indication that the fire was anywhere North of the River, The Oxley Highway is in the opposite direction. By Tuesday they were actually issuing prediction maps. That would indicate to me that somebody realised how badly they had performed on Friday. Because people actually died there will be a coronial inquiry and more details will come out. I was on 'alert' because the day had been rated at catastrophic as early as Wednesday before. I took precautions and was probably more closely monitoring information because I intended to drive South into an area where there were known active fires. I 'expect' to be given a reasonable indication of the risk I face on a given day. If I am actively seeking information from the channels that emergency services are directing me to use I 'expect' to be in a position to make a 'leave early' decision based on timely information. They may not be reasonable expectations anymore. The ABC certainly do not have the local resources to be acting as an information conduit and the RFS are probably in a similar situation. Coordination is supposted to be, you know, coordinated. It sticks in my craw when people say everything is being done and they have every confidence in the emergency management measures and resources in place. They sure as gently caress did not work on that Friday. They could have done better. Whether it would meet my 'exacting standard' I don't know. Given how little notice is taken of Royal Commission findings I guess I can't 'expect' anything better then we got on Friday the 8th of November. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-14/nsw-fires-death-toll-rises-after-fourth-body-found/11703328 Cartoon fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Dec 11, 2019 |

A week was probably excessive, in my mind, especially for a joke about something that actually happened. He's faced a greater punishment than the lovely police officers he was mocking, which is just lol. Other threads and subforums absolutely say worse with no punishment, like FYAD and GBS (unless you say that word). E: oh hey Amethyst was banned too.

Most likely: Tory majority. Turbo-Brexit and continued cuts. Possible: Tory minority government with Lib Dems, I think in this scenario a second ref might happen, continued cuts. Unlikely: Labour gets majority government. Second Brexit referendum, big boosts to NHS, some backbenchers rebel against Corbyns other plans and he is out before or at the next election. Never happen: Labour minority government. Lib Dems are just Tories with better PR.

Was this written by the Micalleff team? https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/the-fires-have-not-started-due-to-climate-change/11791398 quote:Matt Canavan: 'The fires have not started due to climate change'' - On RN Breakfast with Hamish Macdonald Now before Clown Carvan realised he'd said the quiet part out loud he specified that farmers needed to have greater ability to start fires and that the states were raising the spectre of climate change to prevent hazard reduction. "The fires were started by some silly people doing stupid things'. So obviously allowing farmers rather than fire professionals light fires is the answer. It feels like I'm drowning in a sea of dumb.

Yeah it was good to see the wave of pissed off people at Town Hall yesterday and it was fun to yell and stamp feet while having a face mask on. But Gladys and Scummo AND Albo are about the worst leaders you could be cursed with in this actual climate change disaster. At least my wife (who is Canadian) will be here over Christmas so I have that at least. Dunno what the gently caress she's gonna make of the hellscape when she gets here tho
