work in the early childhood education field gets sadder and sadder each year because by the time my kids get high school aged in about a decade they are going to be living in a turbofucked hellhole

at least I have had a good run and have worked through a lot of my anger and depression about the state of things (from suicidal ideation to simply smdh over the course of my 20s) but these kids are having their chance at a life, even a lovely one, stolen from them

shits sad

they'll have fun killing olds and eating their flesh.

chennai still doesn't have enough water; trains are making a four-hour trip every day to bring a trickle in. here's a picture of trucks distributing the water:



here's a recent article/audio piece

chennai's metro population, 8 million, is roughly the size of new york city. chennai's water supply seems to be in four reservoirs with a total of 11,057 million cubic feet of storage (theyre mostly empty right now). new york city's total reservoir storage added up to 43,000 mcft in the '20s and since the '60s has been about 74,000 mcft. that's the difference in infrastructure between a rich country and a poor country, i guess.

edit: there's a wiki page just for this water crisis. it doesn't seem to be getting updated recently

ny's water is also piped a hundred miles via aquaduct from a large watershed upstate whereas chennai seems to rely on monsoons coming and raining on chennai to fill their reservoirs.

they could have enough water if they could figure out how to keep sewage out of the nearby rivers that are not currently utilized but that ties into your infrastructure point.

growing up my fam had one a/c and it was in my room cause i was a dumb kid and we only used it on days when it was 90 degrees inside
then my mom got central installed and now she wont spend a single second outside of it and thinks me having one window unit for my apartment is dumb.

F is best for temperature because at both extremes of the neat 0-100 degree mark is where you start to want to die, so it's just a percentage scale in most people's minds.

There might be other such scenarios out there that I'm not aware of, but the only other one that immediately comes to mind is ARkStorm; a "1000-year" extreme atmospheric river scenario for California based on historical precedent of the floods of 1862.

fox news is structured like fiefdoms of the major on air personalities. they all can do whatever they want and no consistent messaging is enforced. so shep can be a centrist shitlib and tucker can call for crystalnacht. i think it got this way when roger ailes was gone but im not up on deets, just repeating poo poo ive seen posted

im hearing that it might not hit florida now??

its being held down by a high pressure system if that system weakens now it will race at the carolinas.
if it weakens this weekend it will trash the east coast of central/northern florida
if it stays strong until labor day it will send dorian through miami into the gulf and up the gulf coast

storms that move this slowly are just extremely hard to predict.

basically. without momentum to help fudge the math (oh its the size of texas and headinging nnw at 25 miles an hour so its a good bet it will keep doing that!!) theres too many variables pushing on all sides to get it exactly right.
