no hay camino posted:Would it help if more trees were planted or is this an unusual amount of rain? To me it seems it was a lot but not unusual for this time of year. It was the 4th largest single day rainfall in SF history, with other places (like Santa Rosa and Sacramento) breaking their all time records We sometimes get large storm as early as October, but this one was exceptionally large I took a look at some of the bigger local reservoirs and as a collective, they went from 32% to 43% full in the last 3 days The Glumslinger fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Oct 25, 2021 |

I'm not like, a weatherman, but it felt like a normal 3 day storm packed into one day. But that said it's been months and months since the last significant rainfall. The dirt isn't even turned into mud yet, just a quarter inch of sorta-mud on top. Not too much flooding, thankfully. You can see plenty of spots where the windowlickers at County DoT let culvert maintenance go.

Here, the peak rainfall felt like a normal storm, but instead of hammering for 10 minutes and easing up for a few hours, that peak rainfall kept up for 16 straight hours. poo poo was wild. I'm very thankful my current place isn't prone to flooding (at least not in the upstairs where I am).

It sucks that dems have committed in many states like CA to more fair methods like committees for redistricting, because it pretty much amounts to unilaterally disarming. If the courts won't ban gerrymandering, you need some deterrent to republicans doing it, and one of the the few things that keeps norms like that intact is the prospect of retaliation: I don't gently caress you over too bad because I know that you'll likely be in my position in the near future and don't want to get hosed. I'd rather a world with no gerrymandering at all, but a world in which the GOP feels no reason at all to not let 'er rip in places like North Carolina, while dems are committed to a fair process, isn't that. Every California republican should be sweating bullets that some GIS wizard with a political science PhD is gonna find a way to gently caress them out of their seat.

I guess they might lose some donors for a while. But except for some window dressing, the Republican party is completely identical in politics. The existing ones could register as Democrats tomorrow and nobody would notice. The only change I can really think of is there would be less pretending to not like the bail industry and probably a little less pretending to give a poo poo about immigrants/the poor/etc. The worst any brutal redistricting will do is make the slimy creatures that are an average California politics change branding. And probably a lot of howling from the white flight morons in the sticks, but frankly those people should continue fleeing, preferably outside the state.

That would be the window dressing. Unless he's gonna put the whole state under a mandate, it's the same as doing nothing. Encouraging private enterprise to do it for him is the same as doing nothing, but also you just hope it all works out in the end.

When They Go Low, We Go High the illinois dems are living up to their reputation at least and seem to be at least considering gerrymandering their map on the other hand, the most powerful california democrat has repeatedly said she thinks the country needs "a strong Republican party," so...

Yeah, I’d far rather more democrats adopted the Illinois ethos of “when they go low, we kick”, but we’ve sorted the parties such that most of the earnest good government process respecter types are in one party, so that party is at serious disadvantage when it comes to rear end in a top hat brinksmanship games. We have allowed a ‘real sonofabitch’ gap to develop that is strategically disastrous. Need less Obamas and more Jesse Unruhs, just some shameless partisan hack motherfuckers.

Larry Parrish posted:Unless he's gonna put the whole state under a mandate, it's the same as doing nothing.  Elder wanted to remove the minimum wage. Also, it's actually kind of important that school districts are able to say "Yes you need to be vaccinated. No we aren't just making it up, the State agrees". And, at least in LA, we're able to provide vax clinics to him the communities that still haven't had their doses.

FilthyImp posted:Hm nope So this is the announcement from Gavin's office regarding California becoming first state to have COVID19 vaccine requirements https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/10/01/california-becomes-first-state-in-nation-to-announce-covid-19-vaccine-requirements-for-schools/ And then for more details, it links to this document: https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/u...accinations.pdf Basically it lays out that Newsom, as Governor, is directing CDPH to add COVID-19 to the vax requirements for in-person school attendence, and it will do so by promulgating regulations according to various parts of the HSC (Health Safety Code). It's then further noted: quote:Requirements established by regulation, not legislation, must be subject to exemptions “for both medical reasons and personal beliefs.” (HSC section 120338). quote:Notwithstanding Sections 120325 and 120335, any immunizations deemed appropriate by the department pursuant to paragraph (11) of subdivision (a) of Section 120325 or paragraph (11) of subdivision (b) of Section 120335, may be mandated before a pupil’s first admission to any private or public elementary or secondary school, child care center, day nursery, nursery school, family day care home, or development center, only if exemptions are allowed for both medical reasons and personal beliefs. This was also covered by multiple outlets afaik, including Calmatters (I'm not a fan of the word "loophole"), The Guardian, and others.

Yeah I dunno lol. I went to school with anti vaxxers my entire life (white flight country ftw). And I filled out my cousin's enrollment paperwork for my aunt when they briefly lived with us. You can just straight up say 'no I won't give you vaxx records' and that's the end of it. A school mandate won't do anything, at least in places like here where it's already a drat coinflip if a given student had any vaccinations, let alone all of the required ones. You have to have most of the population vaccinated for it to be effective. If there's (non-medical) exceptions you didn't actually make a mandate.

I do love me some high density housing, but lmao at this place. 1 bathroom per a suite of 8, plus a kitchenette sink that will be converted into a urinal. Women's dorms would need 1 per 2 people, and mens rooms can be lower. But they all have to be able to deal with showers for 8 people, even at 20 minutes each, that's 3 hours a day for morning routines. Absolutely awful bottleneck. I think you can get away without having a window in each room, but there needs to be huge windows with natural light close by. Like the common room in each suite having a large window illuminating that common area. So at least while you're having board meeting at your huge conference table, you and your 7 suitemates can have natural light. And lmao at the covid implications of stacking students like this, since you just know the ventilation is also going to be even more insuffecient than the shitters.

SB277 in 2015 is the most recent law about school vaccinations. That quoted bit about religious exemptions applies only to when an additional unenumerated vaccine is added to requirements (paragraph 11) Paragraphs (1) through (10) are an enumerated listing of all the normal old childhood vaccinations and no personal belief exemptions are permitted
