OT: 58th Obsequious Banter Thread - Something Something Leier

[Hurricane28]

Latest recon found pressure of 909 mb and 175 mph surface winds....officially stronger than Irma


Latest models have it coming very close to the coast of NC then heading due north. Still tons of time and a lot will depend on what Jose does

Lower than Irma but it's a pretty small storm not close to Irma in size

 

[Lotusflower]

If you give it enough time you are correct. We will all die.

Speak for yourself. I sold my soul to the Devil in 2007 (Phillies fans youre welcome) in exchange for living long enough to see all 4 Philly sports team win the championship.

Jokes on him, I'll live forever

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Jose seems to be just lingering off the coast of New England here. we may get a passing shower out of it.
Hopefully Maria turns north and then northeast. Dont want a similar path to say Hurricane Gloria from 85

So you really believe in cryogenics?


Puerto Rico is getting slammed by Maria......no bueno!

 

[Embiid]

6.1 MAG quake off of Japan....175M from Fukushima...off the coast

 

[FLYguy3911]

Puerto Rico may be without power for 4 months?!?!

 

[Danko]

Apples AR Kit stuff is pretty sweet. Nothing really useful but ive been messing around with it Paint Space AR is pretty cool. Same with ZG: Revenant (Zombie Shooter)

Puerto Rico may be without power for 4 months?!?!

Many of the poor won't know the difference but looks like the island is going to require a long recovery...

Storm of the Century...how many times have we been hearing that of late....

'Storm of the century' Maria pummels Puerto Rico

San Juan (AFP) - Hurricane Maria caused devastation across Puerto Rico Wednesday as 150 mile-an-hour winds from the island's worst storm in living memory flooded the capital and sent thousands scurrying to shelters.

After killing at least nine people on a string of small Caribbean islands, Maria slammed into Puerto Rico's southeast coast at daybreak before churning across a territory which is home to 3.4 million.

As tens of thousands of people hunkered down in shelters in the capital San Juan, Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz broke down in tears as she spoke of the utter devastation she had witnessed.

"Many parts of San Juan are completely flooded," Yulin Cruz told reporters in one of the shelters whose roof swayed as she spoke.

"Our life as we know it has changed... There is a lot of pain and a lot of devastation."

Maria made landfall as a Category Four storm on the five-point Saffir-Simpson scale, initially packing winds of a little over 150 mph (240 kph) before easing slightly as it powered towards San Juan.

- 'Absolutely hammered' -

"The wind sounds like a woman screaming at the top of her lungs!" Mike Theiss wrote on Twitter, sheltering in a safe room in the eye of the storm.

"We are getting absolutely hammered right now."

[Hurricane28]

Other than 2005 I can't remember storms intensifying this rapidly over open waters. It's what happens when SST are 1-2 degrees C above normal

but according to a certain political party, this is not the time to discuss any sort of change to the climate...

Wait, ****ing what?


If it comes down to it the Navy can provide some power via ships plugging into the power grid, but it won't power the entire island.

Let me guess .it was proclaimed via an inane tweet....

An unserious people in serious times...

How badly I want to smash their faces is the first thing on my mind when I wake up every day.

The ****ing climate should not be politicized.

Truth, but let's gauge this in a 5-10 year span. Anomaly years can happen, and we've seen extremely active years, and extremely dormant years hurricane wise over the past decade alone.

But there's no doubt the earth is warming, I just hate it when people take extreme events out of context and scream "SEE I TOLD YOU"; As if massive hurricane seasons are some new phenomena.

 

[Hurricane28]

Yeah this season as bad as it has been still doesn't compare to 2005. It's amazing how big Katrina got in such a short amount of time, a size Irma never got close to. 2005 they actually ran out of names and had to go to Greek names-Alpha, Beta, Epsilon were all hurricane names in 05

 

[Cody Webster]

Nothing will ever come close to the rapid intensification that, I think, Wilma encountered. That was just bonkers.

Yeah Wilma was like 12 hours from TS to Cat 5, Maria was 18

Anyone who's gone through a mortgage application lately know how stringent they are on random deposits here and there from like Venmo/Google Wallet for random **** that just randomly comes up with friends?

Or just cash deposits in general (small ones)?

 

[Embiid]

The ****ing climate should not be politicized.

Sadly the current crusade to kick millions of people off healthcare because it was a campaign promise is not even the worst example of flat earth politics compared to denying climate science...

Yeah just don't deposit anything too big that is out of the ordinary. A few hundred here and there from Venmo and such won't matter.

Watch the Jimmy Kimmel video about that it's all I needed to know

 

[Embiid]

Well I'll be dead and I have no children to worry about....

Not to sound all Info War-like but I truly believe the financial elites/oligarchy knows this and they are going to go for broke and just get what they can before it all goes to hell. Similar to the Enron business model/Ponzi scheme....profit and bail and leave everybody else to pick up the pieces and suffer.

Global mass extinction set to begin by 2100, study finds

Planet Earth appears to be on course for the start of a sixth mass extinction of life by about 2100 because of the amount of carbon being pumped into the atmosphere, according to a mathematical study of the five previous events in the last 540 million years.

Professor Daniel Rothman, co-director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lorenz Centre, theorised that disturbances in the natural cycle of carbon through the atmosphere, oceans, plant and animal life played a role in mass die-offs of animals and plants.

So he studied 31 times when there had been such changes and found four out of the five previous mass extinctions took place when the disruption crossed a “threshold of catastrophic change”.

Yup. All of this.

Kimmel is doing a better job of keeping Americans informed of what these ******** are trying to do than anyone else is at the moment.

I had a $700 deposit from a friend get scrutinized.

If it's small stuff that can be easily explained than it shouldn't be an issue.

If it's larger amounts that you are using to put towards your down payment or something and it isn't from a Parent, that could be a problem.
