they are. props, however, for system76 branching out into their in-house hardware.

AFAIK, most of the community dropoffs are now coordinated with state and local relief. and yes - stay out of the areas, its a mess and coordination over the next few days rather than ad hoc scramble is what will save the most lives.

I have persoanlly heard a steady stream of millitary large transport helicopters over my area, so I know materials and personnel may be getting through.

times like these make me glad my SOP is upvote/novote.

edit: the post is darkly funny. if one were so inclined, one might even find it... dank.

this is not being discussed and actioned on nearly enough.

from friends in NC... and example of what is desperately needed in all affected areas. things are really, really bad. first aid kits are also in demand. at this point a cut can kill you.

I am so so so expecting a nuclear exchange in or around the middle east witin 12 months - possibly after a "dirty nuke" attempt somewhere.

I am clutching at straws to even excuse this out of my top 3 worst case black swans.

only positive news is that nuclear winter will sure fix up that global warming thing real good.

exactly what the us allows them to do. I can only guess that kind old uncle sam has been feeding its billions in war change to israel for reasons more compelling than mere genocide (but that would suffice for some). a middle east ground "incursion" may be it.
