Oh, they will have to list it for insurers. But it’s buyer beware. https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/harvey-maps For followers of Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, this is what “abundance” looks like.

I'm sorry, did I miss him playing for us this season? I have zero memory of this.

Houston is a perfect example of this: all the new land floods much more frequently. Reconciling this with insurance risks and climate changes means duping a lot of poor and clueless people to move into flood plains and then blame the NWS when they drown. This is also why Utah Senator Mike Lee...

Every time the Juve banter era gets me down, I look at Man U for the machine that it is for taking money and talent at one end and producing sh*t sausage out the other. Yes, we may have completely screwed the pooch on Dean Huijsen. But at least we didn't destroy his future and career.

:lol2: Now don't get any ideas....

I miss music that skewered the media current culture. Decades ago television being the idiot box got so much crap, deservedly. I mean, "TV Party" by Black Flag... Or TV Set by The Cramps... Or the Misfits with TV Casualty... Or even my beloved Mats mocking the whole enterprise of...

That was then.... This is now...

Damn. 80s synth wave. I am way more a fan of the freaky Geneva Jacuzzi myself But I was a big fan of Norway's Datarock 15 years ago or so back, and they are totally an 80s throwback. I'll check them out. But LeBrock? That's gotta be an 80s reference to Kelly LeBrock (former wife of Steven...

Btw, props on the Serbia count though. :grin: When I see history framed like a video game like this, it makes me sad. It's really twelve steps down towards Idiocracy. Wow. Man, that co-worker would love those autism videos (Stanley Steemer) we were just talking about here. Zero patience, zero...

I know this is a way to make history more approachable for younger people. But damn if it doesn't it feel like it cheapens the entire enterprise by turning it into a video advert for a board game of emperor baseball trading cards and their stats. The graphics. :sergio: The number citations...

It's not called the Gulf of South Africa, now is it?

I agree. But Jota doesn't come off as a showboat or the cocky daredevil type by any stretch of the imagination. He could have lived a secret life, but we would have known by now ... even if he owned a Huracán. And it's one thing to say car accidents are more likely than to actually die in a...

Said it before, I'll say it again...

Yeah. Such a weird story. He was one of those people who puts their head down and goes to work, giving cheer and a smile to everyone he knew. Still, talk about a bizarre way to go. Instead of flying back to Liverpool training, lung surgery grounded him to driving and taking a ferry back So he...
