@1jrice Honestly I’m not sure how you “measure prevention”. There’s inherently bias built into the process. It’s likely they gave it the ol’ college try, found it to be both impossible and politically difficult and resulted with a nicely worded fluff rationale
To put climate extremes into perspective we measure against the average. The sigma is the standard deviation of a normal distribution of expected values. In this case the heat dome sigma max is 4.4 - that means it's outside of 99.99% of expected values or a 1/10,000+ chance (1/2)
Level 1 advisory notices are in place for residents of Mission Creek Road and Sand Creek Road, and from the 3000 block of Yaksum Canyon Road to the end of the road. As of 6 p.m., three helicopters were making water drops.

@shrinerp That loud noise? It’s just the air-raid siren, being used to alert the volunteer fire department of an emergency. They should come to the fire house immediately. @jesseroach

@pchrisl Agreed. Every quarter seems a bit much, but my youngest definitely destroys shoes more than twice a year... I guess “Every 121.66 Days!” Didn’t have quite the ring Marketing was looking for 🤷🏼♂️
Two California professors have seen their vision for a seesaw that allows children from the US and Mexico to play together become reality.
Custom-built seesaws have been installed in Sunland Park, New Mexico, where a slatted border fence separates it from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
@pchrisl We’ve been doing this in Seattle for some time now and it’s interesting. It’s not the cost really that matters, $0.05 causes a checker to ask... “do you need a bag?” I’ve found the awareness that there’s a decision to be made can change behavior.
