Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics would have prevented this.
First Law:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law:
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law:
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Lemmy at home, reddit at work. Lemmy has WAY too much porn on the main page for work...
Same as never pet a burning dog. Common sense in some solar systems...
Yeah I see that, its terror media these days. Scare you away from anything that might be sensible.
That I agree 1000%, I did not like getting in the ocean when I was on the left coast. New England loved it, then didn't like it in Florida depending on the winds and the jelly fish.
That tracks.
But I will say every surfer is going to be out for this hoping for swells/breaks.
That said stay safe just in case!
Fair enough, but get on down the road was my point. Also I have always wanted to visit Scottsdale... And Oregon, hell the whole PCH ride to te boarder. I lived in Marina del Rey, I took PCH to 37 to work. I always wanted to say "fuck it" and take the left vs the right...
Freedom.
I can live in a city and work in the country. Otherwise I would be SOL.
Then there is the fun of motorcycles, scooters, and my classic just for a cruise for fun.
I have 1 SUV, 1 truck, 1 classic, 2 scooters, 1 adventure bike. They are so much fun and useful.
I never wait for the federal government to tell me when its a good time to leave.
Also consider when was the last tropical storm to hit SoCal? I was in Hurricane Gloria that made it to New England. that area hadn't been hit by a real cyclonic storm in ages. It was a bloody mess, no power for near a week, can't travel as all the roads have trees across them, etc.
The the same will happen there is its even a moderate tropical storm. Then if FEMA tells you to evac there won't be a viable route out. So like Gloria you are stuck in place in a desert climate in late summer.
Go to Scottsdale, have a mini vacation. If its a big nothing burger then you got nice few days out of LA. If it ends up a shit show you dodged a bullet w/ a nice few day w/o dealing w/ any of it.
Sand? They are speculating a year worth of rain in a very short time. Flash flooding is going to be insane. I suggest you do what we do during hurricanes on the right coast.
Evacuate.
Nothing is worth your life or the life of your family and friends.
Never brush your teeth w/ a jigsaw.
I'm an adult that loves his chocolate milk! Take that vice!
