Right to a speedy trial*

*On a geological timescale

It would, but that is not how homes are built lol.

Yeah, they got used to it. They also want someone they can fantasize about on the TV

It's going to be more than that. I didn't lose anyone I'm super close to luckily, but there were a lot of close calls for friends and co-workers and many of them are missing people they know.

I'm also in Henderson County which overall didn't get hit as bad as Asheville, Marshall, Swananoa, and the other areas closer to the river basins. Our local river went about 10' (3-4 meters) over the typical 1' depth (1/3 meter). Places down stream from the dammed lakes got upwards of 20' (8 meters) of swift water flooding.

Those rural areas are also where lots of elderly people go to retire and many of them were unable to get out of their homes as the wall of water approached during the storm.

This level of flooding is unprecedented and many people who have experienced flooding near them were suddenly hundreds of feet closer to the floodwaters than they've ever been. And by the time it has that point many of the roads and bridges they need to evacuate were underwater.

Fire it out of a t shirt cannon

Firestorm is great

Right now the missing count is in the thousands. And at this point with service restored to a lot of places a missing person is a dead person.

Many will never be found because they were buried under tons of debris and mud as the dams overtopped and filled the usually small streams and rivers with 100x more water than they've had in them in centuries.

Many bodies will only be recovered years from now as areas are rebuilt and the mud and dirt washed into the riverbanks is graded or eroded away.

You mean DJ Diesel?

Look at the paintings on the wall, what kinda non-euclidian room are they in?

Computer dust

Glitter (conductive if possible)

Small metal shavings from machine shops

Cat litter

Engine oil (old and used it good because of metal dust in it)

Super glue

Epoxy

Basically anything that's a pain for you to clean is 100,000x harder to clean in a clean room.

Heat pump good. Only electric device with an average efficiency of over 100%.

It also totally shut down the only supply for high quality quartz in the world. Like literally every electronic device that requires a silicon chip is dependent on those 2 mines in Spruce Pine.

It's wild how so much of the worlds critical raw material is still extracted in the most chronically impoverished parts of Appalachia.

There were over 30 near misses between civilian aircraft on Saturday alone. The reason you can't fly your chopper out there is because the "heroes" that are flying there are not communicating properly with ATC or each other and putting everyone else at risk.

I mean. This story is clearly made up, but that part alone makes it blatantly obvious. A military helicopter pilot wouldn't be praising the annoying civilians that are constantly clogging their airspace.

They did use Claude to generate a lot of them though

The star links sucked anyways. Can really only handle like 100 connections before they overheat and they put them all on 192.168.0.0/24 address space so when you have 500+ people trying to connect it just straight up didn't work.

Luckily switching to 10.0.1.0/16 is easy, but most of the people they were handed out to didn't know that. Meanwhile HAM radio just works. It can also support unlimited connections.

The facility is okay. The roads are gone. I think it's behind used as a distribution and evac site currently.

I can only speak to my area. Some of the grocery stores are doing limits on customers in the store. Trying to keep things orderly I guess.

Me and everyone I know will be doing exactly that. Asheville getting hit like this is a sign that nowhere is safe from the effects of climate change. Even the places that have been marked as more likely to survive.

Because the unprecedented will start happening and will keep happening more often.

A huge amount of the homes that flooded were well outside the 500 year floodplain. The issue was the dams being overfull and overtopping during the storm.

Due to rain that already put the region at a 20 year high on rainwater.

That and the tornadoes that formed inside the hurricane as it hit the mountains. Something that has basically never happened before. At least not on this scale. It literally ripped while forests out by the roots and dumped them into homes, lakes, and rivers.

Hey, I went there on a field trip in highschool.

Also they have terrible modern art out front. And they didn't get effected by the hurricane. Downtown was basically uneffected. It was the low lying areas that have been lost.
