But what if I’m searching flights through a search tool like Kayak? I’m not logged in for that, and possibly using a VPN.

The camp already got the cell phone alert. What possible difference would the siren make?

The siren system was shut down because the technology was unreliable and giving out way too many false alarms – to the point where the residents were just ignoring it. It is a difficult problem because you need to give enough possible advance warning to evacuate, but not so much that they start tuning it out altogether. Even modern first-world countries struggle with this.

Texas can spend all the money in the world on disaster preparedness, but it won’t matter if Camp Staff has their cell phones and weather radios switched off.

They just have to follow the correct procedures

Funny how courts only apply this requirement to agencies when run under Democrats. Meanwhile, RFK is ignoring all basic procedures to stop vaccines, etc…

The Federal budget is passed annually, and all spending bills must originate in the House.

Risk Compension predicts that drivers would simply use this new information to drive more aggressively, negating any possible safety benefits.

The point is that the US has gathered enough evidence to get indictments against them. Germany has access to that same evidence and has very similar laws that were violated – but has done basically nothing.

The Board had discussions about how to stonewall California. US prosecutors have filed charges against the CEO but Germany won’t extradite.

They are all guilty as fuck.

Despite what the headline says, no execs went to jail. The two who were punished with jail terms were middle management.

Martin Winterkorn, the CEO, will probably avoid any serious consequences.

Democrats in Congress picked Connolly to serve as the ranking member of the Oversight Committee in December, rejecting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s bid to serve as the party’s leader on the powerful panel. Ocasio-Cortez, 35, was one of multiple younger Democrats seeking generational change among the party’s top ranks.

California could easily override this by charging prohibitively high vehicle registration fees on newer ICE vehicles.

I suspect it is just the Emergency Rapid Shutdown, which all newer PV systems must incorporate.

What a silly article. California building code already requires the design features mentioned in the article; i.e. the hardscape, window design, etc – so just about any house is getting built this way. The only thing somewhat unique is the metal fence.

“My friend is trying to convince me that any contractors working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when the space station was destroyed.”

As Daisy was laid to rest alongside Kayley in a modest Mennonite churchyard, her father hopes her story sparks reflection — if not on vaccines, then on care, compassion, and the urgent need to protect the vulnerable.

‘She was my little girl,’ he says softly. ‘And they let her down.’

No, you let her down.

The easiest and cheapest way for large corporations to deal with the issue is by giving Trump kick-backs, in exchange for special tariff exemptions. This is why tariffs are a gold-mine for corrupt practices.

And note that the Atlanta Fed model has been widely misinterpreted. Imports have surged in anticipation of tariffs, which skews the model (i.e. the exports-imports factor in GDP).
