BTW when I said that I love my neighbors ^^^ I mean Americans, whether next door, in Wilmington, NC or New Hampshire.

All those are coming to a developed country near you.

I'll just add, many people will be without running water until after Christmas. That includes my business. We've been flushing the toilet in my office building with creek water. Powerelines are still laying across the road in some areas. That's what gets to me the most. Usually they are fixed immediately. Granted they aren't live wires and a lot of times the crews fix a line, but leave the wires to race to the next one. We have been blessed with good weather. There is still a cerfew in my county at night. I had been unable to work until this week and I'm seeing an eighth of my normal patient visits and I slashed my prices across the board by half. Hopefully my wife will be able to work next week. Everyone is broke in this area. Grocery stores have trouble keeping things stocked even when people do have money. I'm not saying this for pity or hand outs. I will get by, but its going to be rough for a while, especially those who didn't prepare for disasters. I still have savings, food and supplies as well as a bunch of egg laying hens. And yeah, most people are realizing that the goods being shipped here are from charities and goodhearted people, not the government. I got a bit savaged on Facebook when I mentioned this, mostly by democrats from out of state calling me a liar. I simply told them that I was on their side after Katrina for the way government spends tax money overseas rather than the people and infrastructure here, and that these same democrats would be on my side if Trump was spending billions on Ukraine and only millions here. Surprisingly they all shut up. Trucks come in with supplies to random churches and businesses, and people just walking by jump in to help unload and then walk off with just a firm handshake and a smile. There is a comradery almong us mountain people. Strangers smile at each other as if to say, "I'm glad you made it." Everywhere you see stacks of bottled water. Sorry, Marxists, but American's are fricking awesome! I love my neighbors! My wife is volunteering at a place that gives away supplies. Aside from packing in food and supplies for my daughters in the first week, I had been sitting on my ass. It's kind of weird. I was a volunteer firefighter for 6 years and I thought I would jump at the chance to get involved, but my instinct was to hole up and care for only family and friends. I did run into a group that backpacks supplies into areas that are still cut off. I'm going to start working with them tomorrow.

Mark 10:6-9 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Oh FFS. A strange thing can happen when a person stands up publicly for what's right. Other people see them doing it and some of them, not all certainly but some, are encouraged to do something similar and stand up themselves. Yet other people see this and some of them are similarly encouraged and act similarly, and this ripple effect continues on throughout the population. This can happen even when you’re standing against strong opposition, or worse, against seemingly insurmountable odds. In fact sometimes that increases the effect. When you do it from an EXTREMELY high profile position like the presidency, it gives you the opportunity to potentially increase the effect by many orders of magnitude. At the very least, standing up for what’s right encourages those who are already striving for the right to continue on regardless of the apparent odds. And this in itself is totally worthwhile and worth doing, even if it's all you accomplish. It IS NOT mere virtue signalling.

I haven't met anyone in this area that is annoyed with people showing up. My wife volunteers at a place that hands out supplies. We are very grateful and inspired by the support. The only outsiders who are annoying are sightseers stopping in the middle of the road to take a picture. So from someone in this area, I say, "thanks!"

I'll ask him if it's ok to pass along.

Fuck fucking you, I'm just trying to help some people. Get out of my thread, you fucking asshole.

Hurricanes Are Not Going Away; We Must Double Down on What’s Making Them More Survivable https://odysee.com/@mises:1/hurricanes-are-not-going-away-we-must:a {Mises Media | 09 October 2024} Storms like Helene and Milton ought to drive us to recommit to and expand the very institutions that have made natural disasters more survivable for so many, not to abandon them out of some false hope that bad weather can be eliminated.

It's Over - Gino vs Harvard Fake Data Scandal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9tgyVPytBk {Pete Judo | 27 September 2024}

These new scientific fraud cases worry me: Now also in material science https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpQobaBCSYk {Sabine Hossenfelder | 09 October 2024} Correction to what I say at 01:56 -- He had 35 papers retracted, not 65, sorry about that. I mixed up the numbers. (Bad enough as it is!) I’ve talked a lot about scientific fraud in the past. Now, investigations have found even more widespread examples of falsified research. Not just in psychology and medicine, but also in material science. Let’s take a look. Paper: https://osf.io/preprints/osf/4wqcr

I Didn’t Believe that AI is the Future of Coding. I Was Right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A-gqHJ1ENI {Sabine Hossenfelder | 10 October 2024} With the rise of AI, we’ve been told that the technology can be used to help software engineers code more efficiently. We have heard plenty of warnings that AI might even take their jobs. But a bunch of studies now show that AI doesn't help software development as much as promised -- at least for now. Let’s take a look. Paper: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4945566
