    Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Mudslides

    Mississippi is also one of those states that do not use federal funds to provide safe infrastructure, safe drinking water, etc. for their citizens. Instead they give the money to millionaire football players like Brett Favre. Very sad for them; I've been there once and hopefully never going again.
  2. I think multiple people were going through the list at the same time, so the math was screwed up, but I have checked all and the above should be correct! I have time right now to math as I've been on hold with the pharmacy for 1 hour, 15 minutes, as they haven't filled my meds for pneumonia in the 40 hours they received my 3 scripts and even deleted 1 of my meds.

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    I watched some more of this (not finished yet), and the other Massachusetts settings at least look like Boston (well I recognized the state house; I think the museum is a fabrication but that's okay), Cumberland Farms (the gas station they stop at) and Lincoln (where the doom prepper and his boyfriend live). No idea why they screwed up so bad in making the Charles River look like the wilderness. Here's a photo of what it actually looks like in the more "rustic" areas:

    Dead Pop Stars

    Car Accident https://www.statesman.com/obituaries/paco0441480 Ben Kweller was actually one of my first concerts (back when I was ~12 and he was ~15), so this story made me extra sad.

    Dianne Feinstein

    I looked at California Senator Padilla's term, and it looks like he had to conduct two elections in November at once: to finish the 2 months of the 117th Congress (Special) and full term in the 118th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_Senate_elections_in_California

    Dianne Feinstein

    Senator Dianne Feinstein of California announced today that she would retire, but also seems unaware she did that: Asked by reporters about her announcement to resign, @SenFeinstein says “If I haven't made that decision, I haven't released anything.” A staffer then told the senator that a statement had been released. Feinstein responded saying “I didn’t know they put it out.”

    Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Mudslides

    Also, I remember with the Washington earthquake that we lived next to a volcano, Mt Rainier, and immediately got scared about that situation because earthquakes can indicate the volcano activity. When that goes, many areas will be buried under the lahars fairly quick so while we practiced evacuation procedures it felt futile.

    Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Mudslides

    Yes, I have been through a few but 2 that actually had notable size: 2001 Ash Wednesday earthquake in Washington State (6.8) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Nisqually_earthquake I was in a marine sciences room and the leeches were sloshing on the floor. 2010 Easter earthquake in San Diego (7.2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Baja_California_earthquake This one made me vomit a lot; it felt like a rocking boat. Single digit deaths in both though.

  21. Whenever I hear the "teachers aren't poor" argument, I've heard it followed up with how much their husbands make.

  25. Not sure if I'm old or young. I guess maybe the dividing line is if you remember these tunes on the radio, which no, but maybe because it's these songs. I remember Appetite for Destruction and Joshua Tree.
