One thing they didn’t mention but I’ve seen on the news before is that flood waters often contain carcinogenic/other polluting chemicals leeched from the ground, and other waste streams. How much of that gets left in people’s soil (or wells if they have a well system), or even in their house after rebuilding?
in reply to socphoenix

With diffusion being a foundational aspect of solutes mixing in solutions, the water should have an even distribution of the contaminants. However, the tidal force of water associated with a storm surge probably throws a wrench in the plan here. But generally, it's evenly spread throughout and will be found in relatively even amounts everywhere the water settles.

It'll be in the air too. Anything in the soil will become dust in the air for years. It'll get kicked into the air every time a lawn is mowed, a hole gets dug, a dry season occurs, etc

Despite stricter regulations, Europe has issues with tattoo ink ingredients

"Clients and artists have a right to know what's in the inks they are using.”

As everything else in life, getting a tattoo bears a certain risk. But for me, it's still safer than most sports. Me, i would never jump out of a perfectly working plane or go hurtling myself down a snowy mountain slope on a pair of wooden boards at high speed...

For me, getting a tattoo isn't about pleasing or showing off to others, i just like them for myself.

But yes, getting stricter regulation *and* more enforcement is a good idea.



Marjorie Taylor Greene is begging the federal government to urgently “send the funds” to help the American southeast recover in the wake of Hurricane Helene, even though she herself stood in the way of emergency relief funds just last week.

Trump’s comment that his confidence in the election would be determined “in 33 days” — that is, by the outcome — got buried by Vance’s refusal to acknowledge what happened last time. washingtonpost.com/politics/20…
in reply to Philip Bump

If Trump just fled the USA after a loss that would solve a lot of problems. But he won't of course, because he thinks he can strong-arm the country.
in reply to Philip Bump

" #Trump has elevated a number of claims... aimed at undermining confidence in the results. He has claimed that voting by noncitizens is a rampant problem, which it isn’t. He has argued that Democrats are using overseas voting to commit fraud, which is false...

In short, he is injecting skepticism about the results well in advance of #Election Day, just as he did in 2020... to inject doubt about the outcome. Just as he did in 2020."
