Parents in NoVa, one tree down in the back yard, another about to fall, no power. They were telling me they are getting 70mph gusts in their area. This is going to be a fun storm for some.

I know nothing about his policies, but good god democrats need people like him. Republicans have trash policies and great messaging. Democrats have OK policies with trash messaging. Its not that hard to figure out.

In a nutshell, he’s smart enough to realize that West Virginia is sitting on multiple gold mines, and he’s pissed off just like most West Virginians that all the money gained from extracting what’s in the ground goes to out-of-state billionaires, and WV could be the Colorado of the East Coast if the state government would stop dragging its feet on legalizing marijuana. That’s not to say that the state shouldn’t transition to clean energy, but the people shouldn’t be getting screwed so hard while the mining corporations make off with all the earnings.

The funniest thing about Horus’ misadventure is that he wrecked his car to get to a Leafs game. A team so lame and so lovely most people can’t go to the effort of changing the channel to watch their games, never mind driving cross border through Weatherpocalypse 2018.

The Battle of Blair Mountainquote:In April 2008, Blair Mountain was chosen for the list of protected places on the National Register of Historic Places. This decision was contested by the state of West Virginia, and the listing was placed under review. As of mid-2010, subsidiaries of two of the United States' largest coal producers, Arch Coal and Massey Energy, hold permits to blast and strip-mine huge chunks of the upper slopes and ridge of Blair Mountain, removing much of the mountaintop. shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Mar 2, 2018 |

There are so many downed trees around my area it's bonkers. The pine groves are taking a beating. There's trash cans sliding down the street and I even saw a desk chair on the way home. No power outage in the neighborhood yet so that's cool.

I know WV has an opium problem. What do people think legalizing weed would do for that? I personally think it would benefit but good luck convincing the *~*gateway drug*~* crew of that.

ElMaligno posted:No. The initial shock can and has actually killed people. Cold water shock is no joke, if you don't gasp and take in a lungful of water, or the adrenaline surge from the cold temperatures cause a heart attack, you have at most a couple minutes before you lose control of your limbs, you won't live long enough to get hypothermia, you'll drown first. Usually what happens in cold water drownings is that first gasp you take when you hit a ~50 degree body of water suddenly causes you exhale and inhale and you aspirate water and then drown within moments. If you're not in a survival suit or wearing a decent lifejacket, you're dead very quickly. Even with a lifejacket you don't have long before you freeze to death. e: USCG blog post posted:Here’s an example of how it works. On the official Coast Guard blog, Paul Newman, a USCG boating safety specialist, points to the case of a man who had taken a stand-up paddleboard (also called a SUP) onto Lake Tahoe. The man had brought a lifejacket with him, but instead of wearing it, he tied it the leash of the board (which should have been around his ankle). About 50 yards from shore, he fell off and drowned instantly. orange juche fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Mar 2, 2018 |

I personally think it would benefit but good luck convincing the *~*gateway drug*~* crew of that. Oh, help immensely. It’s going to take a combo of politicians like Ojeda that can fire up the populace enough to vote and waiting for the boomers to die to get it done, though. At the same time, it’s a race against the clock. The state’s facing serious brain drain, and with less population comes less tax revenue, which makes it harder to make the improvements necessary to attract new people and businesses. Anecdotal example: I get the cheapest broadband package Spectrum offers here in Charlotte (50mbps), and it’s ten times faster than what I had in WV for about the same cost.
