I just arrived at my destination after a 16 hour hellish drive (normally 6 1/2). My house is directly in this beast's path though thankfully not at risk of storm surge. My friends in Sarasota are expecting 15' of water. My aunt and uncle are going to ride it out on St. Pete Beach, so I expect I might not see them again. The bird and turtle nesting grounds in Ana Maria island are guaranteed to cease to exist. The peacocks of Longboat Key are dead, they just don't know it yet. The list goes on. But hey, Jimmy just bought a PowerStroke diesel dually with the money he made off crypto, and Saheel just pushed code generated by ChatGPT into production, so I guess it all balances out.

PS: The last bit is half made up. Saheel is the name of a colleague of mine, so that's not true. What is true is that an engineer at one of my clients literally pushed generated code into production.

My friends in Sarasota are expecting 15’ of water.

How high's the water, momma?

15' high and rising

How high's the water, momma?

She said it's 15' high and rising

Now can we all agree that climate change sucks?

This weather is bad even for the ducks

But it's okay 'cause Jimmy got a truck

15' high and rising

Wow it's been awhile since I saw anything remotely referring to brony culture. It was a fun subgenre of culture n_n

(was as in I'm less exposed to it nowadays. I hope it's alive and kicking)

It is, despite all attempts to kill it.

I hope your aunt and uncle leave you something nice in their wills

Just not the house.

Hey I mean, you're not making fun of those affected, this is accurately showing who is responsible. If not now, when is it okay to call out that these "once in a generation" storms that happen on a regular basis are their fault?

Thanks to DeSantis, Florida is fucked. The hurricane doesn't look too good for them either.

We should start naming hurricanes after companies in the order that have the biggest emissions.

They should have an ad campaign, good opportunity to sell some merch

Maybe an NFT these days, invaluable useless virtual $hit backed by nothing and using lots of compute resources which need electricity generated by fossil fuels. We think you’re gonna love it.

are we ready to end it yet?

Now do something with Milton fucking Florida with this giant wind dildo

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that’s technically called “docking”.

Nah they're crossing. This would be sword fighting.
