Geologists are sounding the alarm on the Masbate segment of the Philippine Fault System, warning that it’s prone to repeated ruptures, posing a significant threat to local communities and infrastructure.
According to a recent study, residents of Dimasalang, Palanas, and Cataingan municipalities are living dangerously close to the fault. The researchers found that the same segment of the fault…
Since the wildfire smoke has been hitting the east coast, I've been thinking about doing a flowchart-style infographic on where to find US hazard information - so many of the comments on the info I posted were like "huh. I was wondering why the sky looked so funny." With the state of the Internet, search engines, and social media today, it really isn't intuitive where you can go to find reliable information on something so vague as "I noticed something a lil funky today," and so many of the platforms and accounts that emergency managers have spent years building up trust and visibility for have disappeared or become unverifiable because of Twitter's meltdown. Best to go to straight to the source when you can, as long as you know where to start.
This would just focus on the federal government, and mainly on immediate warnings and alert information...I'd rather just focus on natural hazards as well since those are the resources I'm familiar with, but that might be too narrow. Any ideas for questions and flowpaths besides what I've sketched out so far are welcome!
People in Iskall's comments keep mixing up Hazard (added over time, causes doors to close) with Clank (added via shriekers and stumble-cards, causes the spirits of the dungeon to awaken) and then they get angry at him for not being able to tell them apart.
can i be emotionally vulnerable i hate cooking with other people so much this is not a cute fun silly activity get out of the kitchen or im pouring dishwashing fluid into the pasta salad
Viltau’s plot wasn’t overkill tbh because if he still had his powers tomorrow’s drabble would be ending much, much worse for Hazard. Robbing him of both his legal rights and his psi were both vital. For once the vole did exactly what was needed.
when ur meddling is a good thing for once AND you didn't commit a murder this time
p5 suou au microwaving in my head thinking about shiho's parents' change of heart eventually lead to katsuya and maya taking her in. hmm. oh i could be so unhinged about this. akechi has shit to Say about this and none of the Phantom Thieves are going to enjoy it because they always strive for the ideal outcome and. well. akechi does not. and i think too much peace so suddenly with her parents would just leave Shiho on edge after so long under their scrutiny anyway.
Enable states to assess and strengthen national capacities against improvised explosive devices.
Explosive hazards have profound effects on communities and development. The UNIDIR C-IED tool enables states to assess and strengthen national capacities against improvised explosive devices.Together, we can protect our communities and build peace.
topping the drinks in Freezeria Deluxe is so annoying because you drop ONE PEANUT? OH YOU SLOPPED ON THE SYRUP AND NOW THERE'S A MICROSPECK OF SUGARY GOODNESS ON THE COUNTER? POINTS OFF. BEGONE IDIOT. and the amount that dropped off is soooo unnoticeable like JUST LICK THAT SHIT OFF PENNY IT'S OK NO ONE WILL KNOW
hi!! every friend on the US east coast, please be careful this weekend!! theres a massive fucking cold front coming our way starting Friday, and there’ll be temperature lows as crazy as 9 degrees!! please make sure to bundle up like crazy and avoid walking if you can help it!!
I'm advocating for a mandatory "social medias" course in middle school to include:
privacy laws and safety of sharing personal information online
recognizing troll behavior and when/how to report it, aka website literary
online etiquette such as knowing how to properly share photos, videos, games, within the framework of the law, how to make an approach to start a conversation
how to utilize block lists and filters curate feeds
how to write appropriate email correspondence
teach strategies for how to disconnect from harmful media that makes you upset
spotting the latest fake information, bots, and learning healthy skepticism of links
and lastly, educate on the importance of moderation and the value difference between recognition online with a number or a 'like' versus receiving irl positive stimulation such as a high five or a smile
I think, despite inevitable inefficiency of government education on these topics, this would be an incredible benefit to the children growing up online.
So my brain just generated this scenario for "why is Hazard like this":
They were raised in a bioweapons lab. And I don't mean they were there while other researchers did work I mean someone (probably shockwave) placed smol Hazard in this lab and promptly forgot about them for a few million years and eventually out steps Hazard who has learned how to make everything in the lab work but nothing about lab safety or social norms like not everyone is a potential test subject.
Ooooo, that's cool as hell! So Haz basically learned from utter trial and error in said scenario, and it's pretty sad in a way. Can you imagine juuuust beginning to exist and bam! You're left alone with a bunch of stuff that you have no idea what it does? Plus, that lack of social contact would definitely make a mech a nice amount of feral (after all look at tfp au Optimus who grew up in the wilds of Cybertron and even after all these vorns he still shows it)
In said scenario, Hazard likely grew up in an environment where everything alive they met was exactly a test subject, so it makes sense that even as an adult they're not the best at seeing the distinction between live specimen, enemy, and ally.
Plus, I place Hazard's creation date as being some point in the smack dab middle of the war, somewhere around the 2 MYA mark likely when the vast majority of the fighting was still on Cybertron and there were more resources to spare.
Everyone has very important lore stuff to ask, but I have the most important to ask of them own: is the tail in human form sensitive? what if, someone stepped on Talos or someone else's tail??
Very important question!! It's as sensitive as another limb would be. Stepping on someone's tail is pretty much equivalent to stepping on their hand or their foot basically
However, this also comes with the added fact that yoinking your arm away and swatting as a reaction and yoinking or swishing a tail as a reaction are very different. If you've ever been whipped by a large dog tail then it's like that but 10x as powerful.
In Talas' or Hades' case since they have huge tails at the very least they could sweep your legs out from under you and make you fall flat. In Graves' case it would HURT to get smacked by it bc their tail is pure muscle
