I just arrived at my destination after a 16 hour hellish drive (normally 6 1/2). My house is directly in this beast's path though thankfully not at risk of storm surge. My friends in Sarasota are expecting 15' of water. My aunt and uncle are going to ride it out on St. Pete Beach, so I expect I might not see them again. The bird and turtle nesting grounds in Ana Maria island are guaranteed to cease to exist. The peacocks of Longboat Key are dead, they just don't know it yet. The list goes on. But hey, Jimmy just bought a PowerStroke diesel dually with the money he made off crypto, and Saheel just pushed code generated by ChatGPT into production, so I guess it all balances out.

PS: The last bit is half made up. Saheel is the name of a colleague of mine, so that's not true. What is true is that an engineer at one of my clients literally pushed generated code into production.

Hey I mean, you're not making fun of those affected, this is accurately showing who is responsible. If not now, when is it okay to call out that these "once in a generation" storms that happen on a regular basis are their fault?

Thanks to DeSantis, Florida is fucked. The hurricane doesn't look too good for them either.
