In my old job when slop boosters would talk about how many people they could put out of work if we bought their products I would ask if they had advice about demand collapse.

I meant that if our customers had no money, or our customers' customers, we'd be broke, too.

Didn't see this version of it.
“.. ‘many system vendors will go bankrupt or exit product lines due to a lack of memory. Mobile phone production will be reduced by 200-250 million units, and PC and TV production will be significantly reduced.’ Yikes.”

In the end they tore it down and build a psyciatric emergency ward in its place, and so the saga mostly ends….
But for the art work they commisioned to put on the roof, its called “how to meet an angel” and to say its wildly insensitive to its location is still an understatement.

So while Home Assistant may have its flaws, I am dead impressed that I powered down a VM in 2021, powered it up this week, and was able to do online upgrades of the HA OS and the application with not a single glitch.

There are not many free or paid products that can achieve that.

Drinking water. Storm water. Waste water. By their powers combined, we have an almighty shitstorm
So, we've a boil-water notice in Christchurch. Sewerage being blown inland from the South Wellington coastline, and deadly floods in the King Country?

These must be the three waters they warned us about.

Can also do state of emergency declarations as year to date (to 15 Feb). In showing it that way I am including fires and floods with sever weather as climate connected. I also checked that it has all been under the same emergency declaration powers through the period, and it has.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.
