Had to look this up yesterday: https://www.fox13news.com/weather/know-your-zone-florida-evacuation-zones-what-they-mean-and-when-to-leave

Basically, if there's 11-15 foot storm surge, zone Bs are told to get the gently caress out. People in those zones are the true idiots if they haven't evacuated - can't hunker down against 15 feet of water. The wind and rain really loving sucks and wrecks poo poo, but the storm surge is the killer.

Aim high: Air Force green-lights waivers for THC-positive applicants
By Rachel S. Cohen
Sep 27, 03:15 PM

The Air Force and Space Force are now offering a second chance to applicants who test positive for the high-inducing chemical tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) during their entrance physical.

The temporary policy change marks an attempt to rethink an aspect of the Air Force’s stringent ban on marijuana use as the service struggles to meet its recruiting goals.

“Previously, a positive THC result on the initial test would have led to a permanent bar from entry into the [Air Force or Space Force],” Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek said. “The pilot program offers some prospective applicants an opportunity to retest after 90 days if they are granted a waiver.”

To earn a waiver, applicants must score at least 50 points on the Armed Forces Qualification Test, have no felony or misdemeanor convictions, possess a high school diploma and be otherwise medically qualified for service. They must meet all other qualification standards as well.

“If those who have been granted a waiver pass a second test, candidates will be allowed to enlist,” Stefanek said.

No.

And you are a huge piece of poo poo and a loving moron for even hinting at it, let alone lusting for it.

gently caress you.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Hurricanes in Texas and Florida, or Earthquakes in California, or Volcano’s in Hawaii. We should aspire to help anyone if they need it, when they need it. I don’t loving care of it’s a $45 million mass high water evacuation of “The Villages” in Florida or $20 billion to rebuild Puerto Rico. It all needs to happen. With gusto.

We don’t need a loving Donald Trump with a motherfucking (D) after their goddamned name on TV.

WHY?
