:lol:

 

i have lucked out when it comes to natural disasters. i escaped the brunt of emong, and nestled comfortably in legaspi for two weeks next to mayon, an active volcano that holds the distinction of being the world's most perfectly-formed cone... and a month after i flew home it blew its top and half the province was evacuated. then last year i drove across upland ecuador, took a picture in front of snowcapped chimborazo, and saw on the news the next day that it'd erupted out of freaking nowhere and the country was mobilizing to evacuate the surrounding communities.

 

i'm starting to rethink this russia thing

 

you too huh....

 

 

a number of years ago I was in Cozumel and a couple days later, the ferry was hijacked, the crew or at least part of the crew was murdered

 

the last time I was in Paris....two days later the Concorde crashed

 

both times I was in New Orleans...the days before, during and forever since after, the entire city was covered in filth and the air was full of stink

 

 

ok...I won't take credit for that last one but the first two are true stories.

Don't wanna piss on anyone parade but 260kmh is not 230 mph. It's 160mph.

 

Different sources giving different speeds...this via CNN:

 

With sustained winds of 315 kph (195 mph) and gusts as strong as 380 kph (235 mph), Super Typhoon Haiyan was churning across the Western Pacific toward the central Philippines.

Yeah, that's the SUSTAINED winds... they are gusting as high as 230 near the core of the storm.

 

Everything I've seen says that those winds probably won't make landfall, but still...

 

160MPH is insane.

 

I've been thru three that had sustained winds at 115...  I can't imagine 160, much less 200+.

 

Nothing will survive.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
