Flood risks in delta cities are increasing, Shanghai study finds
New research shows how the combination of extreme climate events, sea-level rise and land subsidence could create larger and deeper floods in coastal cities in future.

The reason for my OP here is just that it seems highly notable that these people •do• seem to sense that their market is shifting. I have the strong sense that the MAGA Titanic has already hit the iceberg.
The thing is, the actual Titanic took •hours• to sink; this one could take •years•. The question is how much damage it does on the way down, how much damage we can prevent, how much we can help it sink faster.

The DHS’s assistant secretary of public affairs, Tricia McLaughlin, told Bryan to “stick to Pink Skies, dude,” referring to one of his previous hits, in comments reported by the Independent.
The DHS also made a provocative post on X, laying another Bryan song, Revival, over footage of Ice office…

There are finally real USB3 (not Thunderbolt, not USB4 PCIe Tunneling) 10GbE NICs!
