TheWeedNumber posted:Dear White People, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ana_Montes posted:Ana Belén Montes[1] (born February 28, 1957) is a former American senior analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency in the United States who spied on behalf of the Cuban government for 17 years.[2] On September 21, 2001, Montes was arrested and subsequently charged with conspiracy to commit espionage for the government of Cuba. Montes pleaded guilty to spying and in October 2002, was sentenced to a 25-year prison term followed by five years' probation and now you've heard of one  . Had an FBI dude come in and talk about how people get recruited to do espionage and he said they're all really cheap usually because they're either ideologically motivated or they're already in serious debt and need quick cash.

On the latter, this is stuff that really needs movement at the federal level. The states are adopting a sclerotic and piecemeal approach at best or actively making things worse.

ASAPI posted:LA might be a bad example, I've always been critical of an area where two of its seasons are Firestorm and Mudslide. A lot of this stuff is just because the world existed before codes were updated. Sure, you can't plan for 16' storm surges, but if you find me a critical building (IE: Hospital) in the Fort Meyers region that's been built in the last 20 years, I'm guessing it's still standing (I believe that ASCE 7 requires rating against 150mph at ground level there, but I don't have my pubs with me....I've had a long day.....just Chapter 23 if IIRC). IBC adopts ASCE 7 by reference.

There was a point a couple of pages ago about the FEMA buy-out system, and I guarantee that the cost in both time and money wouldn't be covered by the system. I can't speak to that particularly. What I can say, is don't try to build a new permanent structure in FEMA's 100 yr flood plain for....basically any creek or river that has a USGS monitoring station on it, which is very well mapped. Lawyers and a whole bunch of things that you don't want.

I'm working in the Fort Myers area as a paramedic and it's hit or miss on the damage around here (at least in the city not the islands obviously). Pretty sure my apartment is gonna be condemned, all my neighbors on the first floor had 6-7 ft of water inside. While my place on the second floor was fine I cant imagine them wanting to redo all the apartment on the first floor instead of tearing it down. Both water and power are gone and will probably not be up for weeks. Thinking I will give it till Monday and see what the situation is and then decide if I am gonna abandon ship or stick it out. Only real thing keeping me here is nursing school but I can just restart that elsewhere. Anyone have any idea on Florida laws in relationship to breaking a lease on an unlivable appartment?

When charley wrecked Orlando while I was still in school a few of my friends took the various payout money and hosed off back home to various parts of South Florida while the smartest one hosed off up to New England somewhere. So my guess is that if you opt to abandon ship - and I strongly encourage you to do so - I doubt you’ll have too many issues. But you may want to wait for the official documentation to be settled.

The eat the rich jokes weren't invented to be funny As someone who lived in a community that was wrecked by climate change, it's not an uplifting topic to bandy about. After Katrina the number of big brain think pieces that suggested rebuilding because "idiots" built the city "below sea level" was pretty sizeable. Its was lovely and revealing to see the kind of attitudes presented when rebuilding NO was brought up VS. Rebuilding NYC. The people who ultimately lose the most from climate change are the poor. That reality doesn't change in the USA and it doesn't change just because bad parties have found ways to make natural disasters profitable for themselves.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Add Arizona to my list of states that need to be fenced off. I am personally and professionally obligated to tell you that you're wrong     Arizona has many, many flaws, but the entire state is not Phoenix. There is absolutely incredible natural beauty, geologic wonders, and ecological treasures to be found throughout the state, from the depths of Grand Canyon, to the towering Saguaro cacti, to the Petrified Forest. And there is a long, long human history there, with vibrant and thriving cultures that have long outlasted Spanish and American attempts to eradicate them and their heritage. In short: Arizona's cool! Just don't go to Phoenix.

It’s the end of the month and time to get those OTC COVID tests purchased through or reimbursed by your insurance.quote:Private insurers must fully reimburse their members for up to 8 at-home tests per month, or provide members access to free tests from a preferred provider. If your insurer sets up a preferred provider program, they will still partially reimburse for tests purchased outside of that program, up to 8 per month. Follow your insurance provider’s instructions to submit reimbursement claims.
