Right, because nobody lived here prior to the existence of FEMA.

I, for the life of me, cannot understand how people can look at the history of what our, and most other governments have done, and then say, "Hey, you know what? We need more of that!"

It's a very personal issue for me.

I lost everything and had to start over with little more then the clothes on my back, and then to hear people say I should've just moved?

It's more than a callous comment. It is the epitome of victim blaming, and the fact that you are attempting to make apologies for it is telling.

As someone who lives in Hurricane Alley, have you tried just not living where earthquakes happen?

That seems to be the standard response of those in California when a hurricane hits my area...

I drove 1500 miles with directions to the town center, and a phone number written on a paper plate. I then used a pay phone to call her and tell her "Surprise, I drove to your town, wheres your apartment?"

She bet me I wouldn't.

I won that bet. Victory party lasted the entire weekend, then I drove home. 😂

Ahh, 1998. May it never return.

No. Mac is NOT BSD. Mac took the BSD user space from 20+ years ago. That's all.

I'm not sure why this myth keeps being repeated over and over.

If that's all it takes to "be" BSD, then windows is also BSD since the entire windows network stack was lifted from BSD

My sister can't see the big E on the old school eye charts.

My kid barely can, as well. They're practically blind without glasses.

Instructions unclear, now my server is slowly floating into the sky....

20 years ago:

"We need to stop using paper bags! They're cutting down all the trees!” (a renewable resource)

"We should use plastic bags instead! They're recyclable!” (so is paper, and it's far more economically viable, but plastic is made from petroleum)

So now we use plastic bags made of a much heavier material, so we can reuse them, or cloth bags for a similar reason.

Cloth bags are made from cotton, like paper is made from trees.

It's too late, he already broke his car while going around the corner.
