Sometimes I wonder if I'd prefer mosquitos over swarms of lúsmý, at least they don't bite

I don't think "humanely" can be used in that context

Basically everyone gets evacuated from the affected area and are staying with friends and family in Reykjavík. Grindavík is a very small town compared to the rest of the world. The government has offered to buy properties from the ones who cannot return, since the erruptions have been going for a few years in that area and there's no sign of stopping.

To answer your question for the rescuers, researchers, and workers left in the area, once the eruption starts it's quite easy to predict the flow. Luckily there are a few other roads without the risk of lava flow, mainly due to lava diverting barricades. In case of emergencies they use helicopters.

Other parts in eruption risk zones would be similar, since it's just not worth it for people to stay in those areas and most people can stay with family. And repairs to the road are usually pretty quick when the eruption dies down.

By definition a communist society is stateless, moneyless, and classless. Non of which China has achieved.

Is Boost really that much better than Eternity or Voyager that you put up with ads?

I hated the guards that said "Simon says jump!" and then whenever people only jumped once they were shot instantly because "Simon didn't say stop jumping!"

Here in Iceland, where this is located, we produce more green energy than we consume and can't store that energy, and the carbon is pumped straight into the basalt below which absorbs it. I think doing it here is a decent way to do research on improving the technology.

That's when you forget your solution

Not only do they fail, it is pretty hard to hit the right spot. Too many animals are merely paralyzed by the bolt, and are fully capable of feeling the blade across their throat.

 

The search has been going full time for a man who fell into a crevasse in Grindavík Wednesday morning. A drone was sent into the water in the fissure to investigate the situation.

The search conditions are very challenging. Work has been done to widen the opening of the crevasse, which was very narrow. This has so far meant that it has only been possible to bring two people down into the crack to search each time
