We get warned about things all the time and don’t do anything until the last moment or, even worse, until it is too late.
That’s human nature to minimize threats and defer maintenance. It’s not right,but good luck getting any suggestions funded and passed 4 weeks ago. People just wouldn’t do it. Now those same people are claiming “how could we ever have known?!”
Communities across the west are getting warned of the issue constantly.
Yet even here peoples reactions are incredibly defensive and guarded. People want to blame the state, or insurance companies.
But the reality is that wildfire risk is an emergent property of how communities of people manage their space. In Hawaii, lot sizes are small, houses are built very close, they are old, often single walled, and people rarely have garages so most store things around the outside of their house. Likewise, code is only loosely followed and basically unenforced.
Its absolutely tragic, and yet also incredibly unsurprising.
Wow and a half — everywhere I’ve worked in the health biz, even before HIPAA, patient confidentiality was the prime directive.
The article doesn’t even say there was a search warrant, only a request for records from Tennessee’s horrific Attorney General. If there was a legal demand for the records, it should’ve been fought, but instead the records were turned over pronto, with no redactions of personal information, and the patients weren’t notified until months later.
In a sane world, that would cost Vanderbilt a lot of millions of dollars, but I’ve looked at a map of the galaxy and you can’t get to a sane world from here.
All the angles to this KOSA bill are so interesting- a whirlwind of bad ideas thrown together. I mostly know it from its obvious attempts to target LGBTQ+ stuff, but it's really interesting that they think that they should block the super sad news of our dying planet. The best part is that they don't seem to be targeting say, newspapers or TV. Total idiocy.
Everything is ALWAYS for the kids with these clowns. It’s because it’s easier to sell that to their ignorant voters than it would be to admit they want to control their every move.
Montana, Wyoming, and New Hampshire use a different definition of chronic truancy, so they are not included, while Minnesota wasn’t included due to inconclusive data
Gonna sound weird but I recently learned that, and to be clear this was in passing and without actively searching for anything of the sort, there were recent advances in AI’s ability to create nude Asian women with the generic miss Korea pageant face and this could be an example.
You can choose to upload your own image instead of using a thumbnail pulled from the article, so I suspect that might be what OP did. To get attention, maybe?
You can see this thread on the original instance, and notice that this thumbnail doesn't exist there. Kbin pulled this because another link that was posted around the same time had this thumbnail, and Kbin duplicated it for some reason.
EDIT: I don't really know how to report bugs properly, but if anyone knows how to see if this has already been posted on the project page, please feel free to do so.
I remember a bunch of years ago there was a day or so where Imgur had a bug that had randomly re-associated all of its URLs to other images. It was a fun sort of image roulette, if you didn't mind surprise pornography sometimes being the result.
