    “For five days, we were told it was going to be on the east coast, and then 24 hours before it hits, we’re now told it’s coming up the west coast,” 52-year-old entrepreneur Jeff Beerbohm told the AP. “As usual, the weatherman, I don’t know why they’re paid.”

    This comment drove me nuts. I know people are freaked out, and they say stupid stuff when they’re freaked out, but for fucks sake. You live in Florida. How can you not know that hurricanes can turn on a dime?

    Exactly. When the storm covers your entire 150 mile width state does east coast/west coast matter?

    For five days, we were told it was going to be on the east coast, and then 24 hours before it hits, we’re now told it’s coming up the west coast,” 52-year-old entrepreneur Jeff Beerbohm told the AP. “As usual, the weatherman, I don’t know why they’re paid.

    And it’s Goop that actually works as advertised.

    This is the only Goop I know:

    All files are kept in the cloud and can be edited from anywhere. Say, for example, you’re a designer—you wouldn’t be downloading that PSD file, opening it in Photoshop, making some changes, saving it on your hard drive, and then re-uploading it to the cloud. Instead you’ll just open it straight out of File Stream and…

    Yeah, that’s the first thing I noticed: it’s coming from the ground. It seems pretty clear that this is some sort of electrical flash. You gotta think that during an earthquake, high voltage lines and transformers are swaying and touching things they don’t normally touch, leading to arcs and flashes.

    I’m on team transformers. I’ve seen a number of them go with colors from green to blue to red. Plus they have been filled with a number of different fluids over the years, though here in the US of A they switched to mineral oil because all the others caused cancer.

    Well, it depends. Solar filters of any kind should always be inspected prior to use for any pinholes that may have developed. And sun exposure is hard on a lot of things, solar film included, so while they don’t go bad over time, they will only hold up to the Sun itself for so long.

    They don’t expire if they meet NASA and AAS standards. If they’re cheap knockoffs, they just might. It doesn’t hurt to make sure you have the right ones.

    They don’t. It’s simply the only known example of what we should be looking for.

    I fear that, by 2020, the Mars Rover will be fully tasked with searching for Jesus’ footprints on Mars and/or proving the planet is flat.

    If there was only a very effective mosquito killer available.

    Never cooperate with cops. Even if you think you have nothing to hide.

    No and no. Many ex-military members are rejected from serving as officers because they’re ex-military. There are of course exceptions but those usually are due to nepotism.

    Correct me if I am wrong.

    From what I understand they wanted his blood so that they can test it and hopefully it will come back as dirty (drugs or alcohol etc.). Then if he wanted to bring a civil suit against the department for being injured due to thier high speed chase, which I think is against the departments policy, they can bring up his…

    To cover their asses over a potential unwarranted high speed chase; blame the victim, not themselves.
