The highway is flooded in a couple of spots but is mostly open atm. The roads around leura cascades are also shut due to landslides.

There's 2 senior Finns coming from our head office this week and I'm really hoping that work puts on lunch, but I've made some mediocre Singapore noodles as insurance. Gonna hassle mum for her recipe but also didn't wanna use prawns BC I have no idea how long I'm gonna need to keep it in case of potential lunch being provided by work Usually my boss gets us uber eats if we have visitors. Also even though I'm leaving I have to do some target discussions with my employees before I leave so am gonna do them because work comps the lunch (we have to do off site lunch because of it being an open plan office) so you better believe I'm taking them both to Mexican around in Dee Why/Curl Curl. I did consider my fav Taqueria (El Gusano) but its 15 mins away. gently caress it, I'm leaving though.

Yesterday was 200mm with one gauge empty and today we've already cracked 200 with more coming down. Everything is thouroughly saturated at this point and theres more rain on the way.

It’s legit crazy that NSW has been a clear front runner for ‘most hosed weather’ for the entire summer. Now we are hitting cyclone season WA and QLD might catch up a little but drat

One of my fav pubs is about to get flooded out. Again. King George IV in Picton. Flooded out once in 2016. Likely going to be flooded out once the river breaks overnight Fuckin'  .McSpergin posted:I hope some of that is going into the dams at least Warragamba is meant to be getting a massive influx. Going from 43% to a prediction of 55-70%

I have another question, this time more serious. Climate change is already wrecking your country and Australia is seen as one of the most vulnerable countries on the planet. Climate change is also still in its "harmless and manageable" stage and it will get exponentially worse in the next few decades, not to mentioned hundreds of years. Are any of you actually thinking about moving away, or getting active against this? You somehow vote the most diehard climate denies into office repeatedly, which frankly boggles my mind, but Australia is a country that could literally become uninhabitable until the end of the century. Is this something that you or the people in your life actually talk about?

Figured it's the country best able to withstand climate change. Australia is hosed and I'm really concerned about the huge amount of hyper specialized endemic flora and fauna. It's gonna be a massive extinction event.

Isn't the weather in Canada able to kill you, right now? Like a 40 degree day might be uncomfortable but getting stuck outside at -20°C will freeze you solid.

But I can ski and fly fish and chase elk up here. There's usually a few cold snaps where it'll drop to - 20 to - 35C or so, but generally it's 'cold' or 'loving cold' instead of 'gently caress this bullshit my backdoor is frozen shut'. And it seems to be getting milder so..

Climate change is also still in its "harmless and manageable" stage and it will get exponentially worse in the next few decades, not to mentioned hundreds of years. Living in Australia and caring about the state of the environment basically means existing in a continual state of numb horror mingled with enraged grief at the selfish mush-brained evil that surrounds you every day, so yeah, it's a bit of a bummer.
