It's not a rescue mission. It was an already scheduled mission which is why it's 6 months long. Two of the originally scheduled crew got their seats bumped so the boeing capsule test asteonauts would have seats for a normal return. Wilmore and Wiliams could have returned in the other spacex capsule that was already up there in case of emergency. They were never stranded.

The bad flooding is because of how steep those areas are. Down in Florida, water takes a while to make its way into the creeks, streams, and rivers. The areas with the most extreme flooding is because entire mountainsides worth of rainfall drains in the span of a couple days.
Eastern TN and western NC also had a ton of rainfall from thunderstorms just before Helene so the ground was already saturated. For reference check out this rain gauge in Asheville.
The rain from Helene didn't really get to Western NC until the early hours of Friday the 27th. That gauge was already at 10 inches by that time. So really the storm before Helene brought more rain than Helene did. Either the thunderstorm or Helene alone would have been moderate, but manageable flash floods, but the two back to back was insane.
The trouble is that a fad doesn't have to be functional to be used by short-sighted trend chasers as a justification to make cuts. How many jobs did we see outsourced to India in a way that didn't even come close to matching the quality of the people laid off? The people who make the decision to replace jobs with ai systems will loudly declare success and move on to their next role before the long-term consequences are fully realized.
Black holes don't swallow everything around them for the same reason that the sun hasn't swallowed all the planets. Outside of the event horizon, gravity still works normally and the fact that it's a singularity doesn't really matter. Gravitational capture usually involves multiple objects, because the trajectory has to get nudged for a collision to happen. A gaseous body collects mass at a faster rate than a black hole with the same mass.
It would seem that archeologists know how to preserve things.
Blowing up beached whales disperses the problem, but does not solve it.
A smart tv without an internet connection is usually close enough to a dumb TV. It's not like your TV needs regular security updates so leaving it off your home network is fine.
Likely unrelated, but after I've cut raw garlic cloves everything feels weird, almost sticky, no matter how much I wash my hands.
Props to whoever made that bottle and stopper. That note is in fantastic condition.
My guess is the clickbait title and photo.
My favorite resource for info on tropical storms is tropicaltidbits.com. It's definitely worth checking out if you aren't already familiar.

For example, I used to use generic eye drops. Then there were a bunch of recalls on eye drops made in India because they weren't kept sterile and people were getting eye infections. So now I make sure to only buy eye drops that are manufactured in countries with actual controls on health codes. It turns out that imposing that restriction elliminated all the generic options. I'm certainly not happy to be paying double for brand name pataday, but I don't care to mess with the chance of eye infections.
