That entry is really sad. The little bio says she dreamed of being an actress. And that was the only acting credit she ever achieved. Then she died. And now the Internet has immortalised her life in imdb in those facts. Imagine leaving that legacy.

apparently she did a lot of theatre tho

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Avoid standing, swimming, or otherwise being in floodwaters so much as is possible. It's remarkably filthy and the chances you contract a hosed up illness are fairly high. Floodwaters contain sewage, among other things, which will gently caress you up. You'll get Oregon Trail flashbacks as you die of dysentery. Beyond that it's also impossible to know what debris may be in the waters so you could suffer traumatic injury and odds aren't that low either.

Stay out of floodwaters!

Yes. That man was enthusiastic about swimming in hepatitis, c.diff, and e.coli soup. The slightest abrasion or cut, either suffered from cutting yourself while in the floorwater or having a wound that could become compromised because it washes away the scab, and you've got an infection they'll have to break out "the good stuff" for at the hospital.

Don't worry, all local governments are working very hard to kill everything in the region! So once our plenitude of links to the rest of the world break down, we will be able to farm the construction industry's mcmansions. Things are on track to destroy all of Ontario's farmland while we can still buy food from abroad -- so it's fine! There are plenty of Indigenous reserves to steal once we need local farmland again.

Neurotoxins in the environment are damaging human brain health, and fires and floods may make the problem worse.

The author is emeritus professor of Medicine at Drexel University and a long list of former leadership positions. This article lists the different sources of neurotoxins in the environment and how climate change likely worsens them. He outlines the neurological disorders caused by these toxins to both children and adults.


quote:

In addition, prenatal and early-life exposure to air pollution has been linked to an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder in children. Research suggests that air pollution exposure during these critical periods, particularly in the third trimester of pregnancy and the first few months of life, may impair normal neural development.


quote:

One of these cyanotoxins, β-methylamino-L-alanine, or BMAA, is linked to neurodegenerative disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.In particular I was struck by scientists' finding high levels of BMAA in mollusks and fish found in the Baltic Sea, which could potentially play a role in Finland's high incidence of dementia, as fish is heavily consumed there.

Bridges smacking barges happens all the loving time it seems. Is there some practical reason why this isn't due to slipshod seamanship or at least basic loving safety or is it just laziness and stupidity

homie, my people have embraced the latest generation of dc solar well pumps. I'd prioritize the gently caress outta that instead of batteries rn.

If you wanna be a dickbag, get a waterwheel going if you need AC, then worry about batteries.
This! Look up “direct drive” or “daylight drive” solar. Doxxing myself a bit here, but the farm I’m living on (still not a cult) is extensively employing this tech. We have a dc well pump that pulls water up 250 ft, moves it 1/4 mile to the house, and pressurizes our tanks to 60+ psi, at 10 gpm, on 180 volts of solar.
Edit: it’s a gruñidos GRUNDFOS sqflex; it’s been going strong for five years now. Obviously, there are a lot of different pumps depending on your specific situation, but I just want to emphasize that this is way more important and worth investing in than a battery system, and will work just fine without one. PM me if you’ve got any questions.

idk what people are on here. the pnw is absolutely one of the best places to weather cc in the USA. our understanding of the likely effects here are in some ways positive, and negative in others. the negatives are very mitigatable(not a word). our power grid is very safe, and we have a lot of expansion possibilities wrt offshore wind, tidal and other ocean based generation technologies. we have untapped geothermal, onshore wind and lots of room to expand it.

things like the the river washouts in BC are solved here in population centers already via extensive channelization and damming in the nisqually, duwamish, carbon, white, skykomish, cowlitz, etc.

there are washouts and floods in every river in the pnw almost every year, as that’s just the ecological norm of our seasonal weather patterns (drought, rainy. our two seasons). it’s been that way for at least the last 50,000 years in the wake of glacial recession.

changes from gc will just be more extremes: more rain, worse snowfall events (but unknown frequency, historical data shows fluctuations in snow frequency patterns to be stable to less often in the last 150 years), higher summer temps.

note that I’m not saying that it’s inconsequential, just that comparatively, it’s much more easily mitigated and will not make life much worse unlike the Midwest, southwest, northeast parts of the USA where significant portions will become quite literally uninhabitable for large populations.

this is of course discounting the international geopolitical and economic fallout which will gently caress everything up for everyone amen
