This is my first weekend in nearly 4 months I've got time all to myself instead of working severe overtime.
ah, I remember working overtime in the Summer
Awesome video from Students for Western Civilization. Dr. Millerman studied under Dugin in Moscow: https://youtu.be/QrJ1ssn7aNc
honestly enjoyed it so much more than going to school
@Jacob It's been nothing but hurricane disaster recovery and rebuilding here.
Exhausting and heartbreaking the level of destruction

oh I worked fast food
not nearly as bad as it sounds
Some parts of the panhandle still don't have power and water
I was friends with my manager so work was pretty fun
I didn't even know Florida had a recent hurricane tbh
When all is said and done, I won't be surprised if they call this a $100 billion hurricane
okay this might be a stupid question to you, but...
why do they keep building stuff that can't withstand hurricanes in a place that has hurricanes?
Media didn't give it much attention because we're picking up the pieces and moving on without complaining for gov't help lol

Shoveling>>>>>>>>>having everything taken away
@Jacob that is a good question. It must be more economical for the companies to occasionally rebuild a cheaper structure (using insurance payouts at relatively little cost to them) then it is to build a fortress. (Because you would have to have the same Insurance anyway, no matter the structure)
That's just me spitballing. I have no idea tbh
@Jacob You're talking about structures that had been standing for 30, 40, 50, even nearly 100 years. Building codes even 10 years ago are not at all what they are today. Cat 5 hurricane comes through and wipes out buildings that had absolutely no building code regulations meant to withstand such a force of nature. Believe you me, building codes now...today...here for the area are pretty much impervious to anything, save for a meteor strike or volcanic eruption lol
20,000psi concrete and steel pylons just for foundation
half inch thick laminated glass (which is what my company specializes in doing) stops bullets
You should see what they're doing to rebuild the roads. It's fascinating. 20'x10' "blankets" of concrete and steel cinder blocks all woven and linked together, and then filled in with gravel, multiple layers, before pouring the pavement and concrete over
Dont want hurricans? Dont live near them. Pretty simple concept
@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL how did they stand so long if Florida keeps having hurricanes?
Avoiding natural disasters can be tricky. Oklahoma did not used to be an earthquake state. Now, as a side effect of fracking, we have earthquales. OK buildings are built for wind/heat/storms/occasional cold but are quite unsuited for shaking ground.
I remember a while ago people were talking about how Washington is way overdue for a FAT earthquake
that would literally destroy everything west of I-5
