Sort of depends what your resources are, there's a continuum between doing nothing and full doomsday prepper. It also depends on what sort of flood you're preparing for. Like, 6 inches of water in the house, or the house is gone? Anything that gets touched by flood water is basically coated in literal shit, so you have to prepare for everything from the water level down to be completely wrecked but (hopefully) not utterly smashed like in a tornado.

Probably wise to keep some water and food. A small power bank for electronics. If you have expensive or irreplaceable things put them on an upper floor or at least off the ground if you can. If you've got some more money you could think about a generator, not just for you but for your sump pump (if you've got one). If you plan to leave maybe scope out a place you can go so you don't end up in a shelter. Figure out a plan for your animals, if you have any.

If you have insurance, take pictures or record everything you have. You want make and model of everything when it comes time to get reimbursed. You will forget a bunch of shit, and if you specify "coffee maker" you will get a $15 coffee maker, instead of the "Miele UltraCoffee 9000, Stainless Steel, with Grinder" that you lost (for example).

I have no idea. He was also like, the third owner, so it's quite possible that things were failing.

My brother's first car was a 1989 Dodge Colt. He couldn't run heat, wipers, and headlights at the same time. So driving at night, in the winter, when it was raining, became this dance of running the wipers until your ass was almost frozen to the seat, then turning them off and running the heat until you were almost blind, then repeat.

There's a "great man" aspect to this conspiracy theory, just as with the HAARP conspiracy theory. They believe that one man, Bill Gates perhaps, or one facility, can cause these widespread climate effects. But they also believe that humans pumping billions of tons of CO2 can't, because that requires materialist analysis.

Obviously some of this is rooted in petrochemical propaganda but that propaganda really ties into the mental bedrock that already existed. Americans are primed to believe myths with the "correct" structure.

It's also interesting how all of the Epstein fury has stuck to Gates, while washing off Trump.

You see a mélange of all this sentiment in comment sections about ticks.

If you live in a humid climate you'll want to keep it off the floor somehow, I created a mold problem once putting a memory foam mattress right on the floor. Now I have some ikea box thing, similar to this but not quite.

I get what you mean, though. The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, by far, was one of these things while I was staying in someone's spare room for six months. I've never slept that well before or since, even on thousand dollar mattresses.

I remember the original Diablo let you install "spawn" copies on your friends' computers. This was a limited, co-op only version of the game, and you could all play together using only one full retail version.

Execs: We've finally found it, the AI of truth!

AI: Use fresh, high quality ingredients and lots of meat.

Execs: Nyehh!!

You can see a very distinct before/after Interstellar whenever black holes are depicted in media. Prior to Interstellar, black holes were depicted like whirlpools even though Jean-Pierre Luminet generated an image in the 1970s that shows gravitational lensing.

I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants... Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

Sorry is there an Adrian Zenz-like figure I can ask instead?

Seriously though I admire that, despite all we've done to them, he still responds with a dignity that we certainly don't deserve. Of course we're totally deaf to this as a people, but I respect the gesture.

There's no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, "bots that aren't paying us."

His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin
