I'm the lady in the bottom right still hanging my laundry because the ash hasn't fallen just yet and I'll be damned if I don't get this load dried and folded before the lava starts.

So I got busy and fell behind on reading this thread and it kept getting worse as the unread posts went into the hundreds. Finally caught up today.

No wonder this thread blew up. :haw:

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
I think the entire world needs a safety stand-down. Just for like a day, everybody just stop doing everything and think about what you're going to do when you start doing things again.

It's probably a good thing that he drove his truck into that water. Based on how the cab just comes off, if he had ever gotten into a more serious accident, he'd be dead.

Eh, problem is it's been running like forever so even if you get everything shut down cleanly you have no idea if all components come back up and if all processes will run they way they are supposed to. Not a lot of redundancy too.
I suggest a hardware upgrade and to virtualize the whole thing.

Dang! Glad you're ok to type.
Your mention of airbags reminded me of a tale my father told me. A guy who worked casual ambulance shifts with my dad was returning an ambulance to the station alone for some reason. He was driving along the highway, holding the steering wheel with his left hand at the 1 or 2 o'clock position (forearm across the wheel) when a deer decided to headbutt the grill. He was found 2 hours later, alive, but unconscious, crashed in the ditch. The airbag used his arm like a cudgel to knock him out.
I stopped holding the wheel like that after hearing the story.

Fairly sure that's insurance fraud. Here in the UK there's a lot of railway underpasses which have the sidewalk at a different height to the road, which is usually lower (for clearance). When they flood (which they do, since almost certainly they've been built next to a river or giant gently caress-off flood gully because the UK's planning restrictions are rear end), or because the sewers are backed up by heavy rainfall, people deliberately drive into them when they have a car they need to write off, since they can then argue "Well the flooding only looked an inch deep becuase the sidewalk was only a cm above the water!!"

Where I live, we have an underpass out near downtown. It used to flood pretty regularly during monsoon season, and without fail we'd have a news story every summer or two about some clown who was absolutely sure their pickup or old sedan could make it, or that they could make it out.
The problem is that the underpass was about a 13 foot clearance at its bottom, and the floodwaters could get close to, if not touch, the overpass bridge.

I'm pissed cause I lost power before the storm even hit, then got a light drizzle. Not worth it!

At least the temps dropped 30 degrees.

Yeah, that was pretty terrifying.

Get an EBS alert on my phone about tornados (apparently funnel clouds formed but never touched down). I look out side and it's overcast, but no rain and light wind.

10 minutes later it's a monsoon and the wind is hitting 75-80mph. Swept the ceramic planters off my patio table and uprooted the plants in all my pots back there. Fortunately the roof and fence stayed intact. Lot of flickering lights, but power stayed on thankfully. 400K+ with no power in the Chicagoland area.

Received an email from my veterinarian. They weren't so lucky.
