Here. They're saying 40-60mm of rain, 80mm in some places, within the amber warning. Which both work and home are in

Happy November 10th! Some prime memes I have gathered
A meme titled "who would win?". On the left is a picture of the Edmund Fitzgerald, captioned with lines from the song, "a good ship and true with a load of iron ore 26,000 tons more than it weighed empty". On the right, captioned "one stormy boi", is a map of wave heights on Lake Superior at 7pm ESTz November 10th 1975, showing the extreme waves in the part of the lake where the ship sank. A meme. Text reads: Me: I promise I won't take on a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty. 3 Beers later: (A picture of a heavily laden Edmund Fitzgerald) Meme: The crew be like "Can't wait to make Whitefish bay" (Picture of the Edmund Fitzgerald) My brother in Christ the gales of November came early

what if kiss & ride was good though? (Delft railway station, NL)
The "Kiss and Sail" mooring on the canal by the railway station in Delft, NL. Signs on the canal wall designate it as such, and a low section is cut out of the wall both to make alighting easier, but it also has some seating there

Shoddy texture work from the Devs frankly, I expect better
View out the front of a ferry. The sea is in two distinct shades. Closer to the camera it's a silty brown-green, then there's a distinct line to much clearer dark blue-green running diagonally across the picture. This is caused by this being where the silty waters of the Maas reach the open sea.

The stage g for print quality reference images is so wild. Like take this, with all those red jellies and red chillies and the red drink.

(I have properly gone to town on the alt text here)
A print quality test image. A light skinned woman with brown hair is sat at a grey table in front of a red gradient background. On the table, on red plates, are four red jellies from different shapes moulds. A large rectangular jelly has a single red chillie pepper on it. A large circular jelly with diagonal fluting is surrounded by red chillies with green stalks. It has red love heart candles, lit, on the top. This plate is on a red placemat. A lar8ge wine glass contains a red liquid. It has a red chillie floating in it. There is a number of red cocktail stirrer sticks on the table. The woman is wearing a red jacket, red bracelet and a red scarf. She is holding a chillie in each hand, she is pretending to nibble the one in her right hand. She has red lipstick. She is looking suggestively at the camera. Either side of the main image are a series of squares in various red tones.

Seeing the notification for the new episode (patreon early feed of course) of @lionsledbydonkeys.bsky.social and immediately being activated due to being an Asterix weeb
A picture of a station sign at Alésia metro station in Paris. The station name is in the font from the Asterix comics. On the sign is Chief Vitalstatistix from the comics yelling, in french, "Alésia? What do you mean Alésia? I don't know where Alésia is! Nobody knows where Alésia is!"
