It will be much larger than that. Waves slow and build as they approach land. If we’re seeing 12” in the open ocean, those are big waves and huge tide changes on land.

I can’t find any bouy data, so I have no basis to say anything is actually wrong with the warnings… but β€˜yards’? For real?

Anyway, I’m a bit concerned some incompetent moron reading open ocean wave bouy data showing a 12” wave is thinking that means a 12” wave is what will show up on the beach.

So DOGE hollowed out the Tsunami warning center, and it’s showing.

I just real a bulletin where was heights were referenced with yards… (not feet or meter which is the standard). This isn’t fucking football!!!

I mean they know that releasing video with a segment cut out makes them look guilty AF, right?

Wtf is going on? I don’t believe they are this incompetent.

My Chevy Bolt used 449 KW-hr’s in June.
My roof produced 681 KW-hr’s in the same month.

Leaving us 232 KW-hr’s, or about $23 in power,

But EV’s snd solar panels don’t make sense… in Western Washington… where it rains all the time.

So Republicans downplayed the Nazi salute claiming it wasn’t what we all saw, but some 8647 is code for assassination such that they tailed Comey for days after he posted it?

Yeah sure, Epstein totally killed himself…

Gen X already gave up on social security… we’ll be happy if nothing changes and we get 80% of our β€˜promised’ benefits. By the time the old people in congress β€˜fix’ it, we’ll get even less and they’ll just take more.

This is why Medicare needs to be cut. Benefits keep growing for people who are no longer paying in. The burden keeps shifting to the next generation, and it needs to stop.

Seniors got us into this mess, this is the natural consequence.

So the house budget bill effectively screws Gen X federal employees. I have 26 years in, and now they’re are taking away retirement benefits I’ve earned.

Fucking Boomers… the most entitled generation. Told us to wait our turn, just to screw us when we’re next in line.

RIP Gerry Connelly. He was a friend to federal workers and a force against chaos. Thank you for your service.

Changing the rules for federal retirements after us Gen Xers have been paying into it for decades and only have a few more years to go.

Slash benefits for current retirees as well. But this isn’t about balanced budgets, it’s about screwing the young to benefit the most entitled generation ever.

Building his business abroad, taking bribes from foreign countries, selling meetings and access…. If he’s doing all of this out in the open, what’s happening behind closed doors?

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

Imagine if Biden had said people would have to tighten their belts, do without, suffer through an austere Christmas while he golfed, hawked meme coins and bragged about lavishing the Oval Office in gaudy gold.

They’d all be shitting wild kittens.

I don't trust trump's judgment on who the worst criminals are, based on the fact that he pardoned people who beat police officers to within an inch of their lives in an attempted coup after storming the Capitol.

There is a reason they’ve pushed us to invest our future in markets, it makes it easier to steal, bit by bit.

Social security is pennys compared to 401Ks.

The S&P 500 is down 3% and a ultra right conspiracy theorist is advising Trump to fire the National Security Counsel for being insufficiently loyal. Nobody say this coming… right…. Right?
