 Surprised the flood wiped out an amazon homeland much like heroine college.  Still pondering a personal radar system to deal with tornados & hurricanes.  A starlink terminal might be the best bet.  The big question is if it would work in a storm.  A lot of places not in evacuation zones get damaged nowadays & tornados have been known to strike without warning, but you don't want to manetain a starlink plan just for that.  Living in FL* off grid would entail some kind of offline weather sensing.  A personal weather radar is the holy grail. There are civilian aircraft radars for a price.

Drowning, fire, buried alive, car wreck are the worst ways to go.   Submarine implosion might be the best way to go.  Stockton Rush got the last laugh there.

 Some soon to be deleted footage of the heroine compound.  There are definite plusses to waterfront property & also risks.  A new compound outside the flood zone was built in 2018.

 The 2018 section fared better than an older section & was built to higher flooding standards.  The original 100 year old section was lower & where all the deaths were.





The old section was right at the water level.

 386 campers and 64 staff members in the old section.  28 died, which put the odds at 6%.  The top right building would have been the most lethal.  That was the 1st to flood & someone was getting swept out of that one before anyone woke up.  Ross Guy lives 100 miles east.

There was no media coverage after the damage, but a guy managed to sneak a drive by phone shooting.  He captured the only views of death alley.  Obviously no-one was allowed in there unless they called the video a "drive through" yet another guy was selling food.

It was finally revealed 27 deaths were in the 2 lowest cabins. They weren't on the side row, but in a lower valley.  4-8ft depth proved survivable.  8ft was not survivable.  Bubble inn had 100% fatalities.

3 girls & the owner made it out of the building & to an SUV before drowning.  They evacuated the cabins closest to the river 1st but they weren't the lowest.  It was a fatal mistake.  There wasn't really an evacuation plan.

There are some notes about the history of flooding, original buildings getting swept away in 1932, more flooding in 1987.  The lure of waterfront property will always tempt animals back.

Interesting notes about the reduction in Edwards after 2002.  There was a massive reduction in housing still to come, 20 years after the cold war.  It was quite lush & developed, 50 years ago.

 


 The budget might have been concentrated on area 51, but it was only enough to keep that place in status quo.  It got a big hangar & taxiway probably for a blimp.  Persistent blimp based surveillance was a thing.

The pianist was a hard movie to watch, over 3 days.  The lion kingdom isn't sure if it's more or less depressing than Schindler's List.  Many scenes in the movie were staged exactly like photos in kiwipedia.  WWII movies are generally easy to make, since there's an abundance of real, dire material. The period from 1990-2010 saw a shift from the rhetorical speeches of John Wayne, George C Scott, Charlton Heston to intimate views of desperate suffering & hunger.  Lions aren't sure whether movies lightened back up for millennials or if they stopped being made to keep millennials happy. It's not possible to know what's going on without realizing it's a true story & having prior knowledge of the fall of Warsaw, the ghetto, the uprising, the planned destruction, & the Warsaw robinsons.  Thus, it requires already knowing the ending. The lion kingdom was surprised he was outed by an attainable woman while the trophy wife helped him survive.  Most of ...

   Amusing that Grok applied an IPv6 style pseudo header to the computation of an IPv4 ping packet, even though IPv4 doesn't use the pseudo header.       Another Grok error was in a basic TCP demonstrator.  To avoid a TIMED_WAIT on the server blocking the port, you have to exit the server without closing the socket.   These errors take a lot more time to track down than doing it the old way.  It might be fixed in paid versions of Grok. The solution to everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd Krispy Kreme run.  Always a satisfied mane after 6 miles.  Always a horrible bloating, after 13 miles.  Noted the half marathon times with mane feedings are on pace for the lion kingdom's best full marathon time.  Lions took a step down from their maximum power delivery in the shortest time when the leash enabled food breaks.  Before then...

 The lion kingdom's 3rd or 4th rewatching of The Martian, not including the book, brought more questions than answers. https://heroineworshiper.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-martian.html     Surely, an explosive air lock event would have been confined to just the airlock & not damaged the mane greenhouse. The cycle fatigue would have manifested itself as a slow leak long before.  The book had him restarting some food growth after the explosion.  We now know a lot of bacteria can survive in space for a long time & we now have far more capability to send a resupply payload.  The business of traveling across the country to have every single dialog seemed overdone in 2025, but might have been more justified in 2015.  It was manely for dramatic effect. 10 years on, the clueless executive assistant is a world class hottie.  She's now 52. After 50 years of Mars movies, it's pretty boring.  Young lion 1st noticed how boring a purely red landscap...
