Atlantic Ocean getting hot as hell - could be monstrous hurricane season

[akugami]

I moved into my house in 2009. For the first two years we lost power constantly and because it is basically a dead end neighborhood we were always the last in our town to get power back on. After the October blizzard in 2011 where we were without power for 8 days, I bought a generator. We haven't lost power for more than 30 minutes since. I have never had to use my generator. I have to start it up twice a year to keep mold out of the carburetor.

Just try to sell that generator. I dare you. I double dog dare you.

As far as Florida, and Texas, goes, the sooner mother nature reclaims it for swampland, the better. Those two states need to just F'n die.

"traditional Republican"...is that the fabled "moderate Conservative" we hear so much about?

We should organize a combination hunt for: the snipes that those camp counselors told us to go find, unicorns, and moderate Conservatives.

To be fair, there are a lot of moderate Conservatives, they are now called "Democrats".

Expecting GOP and its supporters to ever admit they were wrong, that's a good one. About Climate Change or anything else. Karl Rove didn't invent their philosophy but he perfected it. Blame the other guy, lie, make it loud, keep saying it no matter how blatantly the facts say otherwise. No doubt it will somehow be the fault of Biden, EVs, solar power and gay people when climate change ultimately wrecks the world my kids are inheriting.

"It's all God's Will" is the ultimate fallback. "Things wouldn't have gotten so shitty if we'd all listened to God. Never mind that people like me fought tooth and nail against anything that might have prevented this. Who am I to go against God's Will?"

No, generally they aren't moderate at all. Sometimes they're called establishment Republicans, and they kind of held out against MAGA until Trumpism stormed forward. Either they've left Congress, will soon be leaving, or had already been primaried out.

Examples would be Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and perhaps even Adam Kinzinger. Most have very conservative voting records, although there used to be a few moderates in the House GOP conference (such as Kinzinger). These 3, and some others, don't believe in the Big Lie and I don't question their patriotism.

Since this thread is about the looming Atlantic hurricane season, it's relevant to think about how establishment Republicans view climate change policy. Cheney is very much in the "do nothing" camp, while Romney is cognizant of the future being left to his grandchildren.

Toasty water all the way across.

Don't worry guys, I heard they called it Summer....

We are well into a period of Natural deluge, due to Our actions, and many of us have memory of a Pre-Time that newer Generations will never experience. Weather and Climate chaos will be their Norm, except there will only be a continued intensification and nothing approaching a normal state until we stop spewing shit into the air.

This whole "Conversation" ended 40ish years ago. Now we reap the rewards of our Actions.

That’s the crux of the biscuit right there.

Just a generator right now. Been looking at solar / battery but we decided to punt until we have to re-roof. Our current roof probably has another 5-6 years before we have to replace it.

I will say the generator purchase has been great. Murphys law in action. Spent $$$$$ and have used it for maybe 3 hours. Even last weeks storm missed us by 10 miles.

Although thinking about it, we bought it to prevent us from losing power and we’ve basically not lost power. So does it matter whether it’s because the generator kicks in or because Murphys Law keeps us from losing power?

I moved into my house in 2009. For the first two years we lost power constantly and because it is basically a dead end neighborhood we were always the last in our town to get power back on. After the October blizzard in 2011 where we were without power for 8 days, I bought a generator. We haven't lost power for more than 30 minutes since. I have never had to use my generator. I have to start it up twice a year to keep mold out of the carburetor.

My experience as well. We moved into this house in Dec. 2018. The first couple of years, we had 5-6 power outages every year. Some were short...30 minutes to an hour...most were 3-4 hours, and a couple were 8 hours+...so I bought a pellet stove for heat and a small (3650 watts) generator to power the pellet stove and a few needful things. Since then, I think we've had two outages that were more than an hour...and I fired up the genny.
Good insurance!

So we’re traveling this week and to hedge our bets found earlier flights so we can fly back, board up our house and escape to a hotel inland if the hurricane heads towards our home. And thanks to the magic of airline points and day before room cancelations it’ll cost us about $12 if we don’t need too cut short our vacation.

Lol.

We're like a moth into flame.

This is the result of the fact that truth is a paradox that can only be understood from a third perspective, the resolution of opposites at a higher level of understanding.

We are drawn like moths to a flame represents the hidden aspects of the fact that we have a death wish. We came into the world at one with the universe, the religious analogy is the Garden of Eden and were ejected from it by childhood trauma, being told our natural at one state had to be left abandoned because being open and innocent like that would get us killed, which it in fact psychically did. We had to become without reproach in the eyes of the world or we would be crucified and we were subjected exactly to that, naturally on the pretext it was done for our own good to save us. The fact is we were killed because actually being alive in the world reminds the rest of us that we are actually psychically dead.

Once you lose your real self and put on a death mask the memories of our deaths are repressed but can't be fully expunged. There remains inkling that something is wrong, that we feel empty somehow within. We become emotionally needy, vacuum cleaners sucking on other vacuum cleaners trying to get back to the Garden. We seek to return to a time before our deaths and the only way to do it is to relive the death experience. But because of the fear of dying we do not consciously seek self understanding but the chaos instead of vicarious experience. We try unconsciously to back into our deaths, to recreate the trauma but without any memory of the original events.

LOL indeed. There was never anything wrong with us. We waste our lives running from a feeling of worthlessness that was a total lie.

Bad boy bad boy, whatcha gonna do with they come for you? Tell um the droid they're looking for died and went to Heaven.

I'm in the sticks, have gotten at least one good winter storm and one good summer storm every year since 2013. I average about 24-36 hours of generator run time per year, though there have been a couple winters where we went 3-4 days without power. Ice storms really suck, so much worse than your standard blizzard.

About to replace a generator actually, it's about time I upgrade to an electric start. Still looking at different models, debating if I want to spend on a Honda or not.




Any Honda gen owners in here? Thoughts on your purchase?

Earliest cat4 ever recorded, and only cat4 ever recorded in June.

I won't be surprised if it hits cat5 before it hits whatever it's going to hit in the Gulf.

Grenada potentially in the crosshairs.

Probably reliably catching Tuna out of Westport, WA now. It's happened before.

Beryl is now cat 5. Truly insane for this time of year and especially in this region.
