Still working my way through Three-Body, the Chinese TV adaptation of The Three-Body Problem. Sometimes it gets slow but it is so much better than the Netflix version. Especially if you read the book(s).

Yes he's demented but also I LOL'd at “stanktuary” and I think there needs to be a whole series of shitposts for it.

"People need to understand dementia is a progressive illness, which means the Trump you see today is the best Trump you’re ever going to see. It’s all downhill from here. Trump’s rate of decline is accelerating, and if he’s typical, at some point, he will “fall off a cognitive cliff”"

In the near future a mass of people are going to die in a city from the heat, and the headlines will say that "it wouldn't have been so bad except the power went out"

Heat is going to take down power systems. The power systems that could protect us from an event, will be harmed by the event.

618 people in Canada, in the mountains, in the forest, died of a heat event, on the floors of their homes, on their beds. No flames. Just a days heat.
The power stayed on, it would have been worse

@kevinrns The way I read that, there are no instructions yet for how an individual would apply for whatever sort of credit each state has in their program. The states and territories have to apply for the money, which will fund state and territory programs, however each one designs it.

@MisuseCase Yes it would. Knowing how states behave, the federal govt surely knows that people in some states will get little to nothing while others get the benefit. @kevinrns

@MisuseCase All probably true, which leaves states to do as they will, so there we are. @kevinrns
