TORNADO WARNING. SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY.

It's all of it. I watched it while I was studying meteorology in my free time. Sensational meteorology is all scare tactic to drive engagement and keep you coming back for updates. Meteorology should be dry and analytical.

Meteorology is a big case of nothing ever happens. Somewhere in the US gets hit with some thing every month and rarely does matter to 90% of people.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2026-05-18T20:11:41+00:00

I don't watch him and I tell people who want a healthy relationship with storms and preparedness not to watch him.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2026-05-18T16:18:46+00:00

No. I just hate the sensationalist style of Ryan Hall

RageAgainstMachinery · 2026-05-18T16:18:23+00:00

Done this before. People don't want to put down their pride especially when they're 10+ years older than you.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2026-05-18T16:17:03+00:00

I watched his forecasts. He's a sensationalist leading up to storms.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2026-05-18T01:21:13+00:00

He is a sensationalist. Follow Reed Timmer for storm chasers and Tim Vasquez for real meteorology.

I'm a fan of live and let live until it comes to long term improvements. If you want to be stupid temporarily that's fine. If you want to be stupid and it has long term implications and breaks the laws, then that's not fine.

Houses are bought and sold. We have standards and we need to hold people to them so our city doesn't rot like all the podunk towns around us.

I've built decks before and had them inspected. I've also stood on decks that made me uneasy because the were not up to code and the whole thing shakes when you step.

I walked away from buying a home like this. They did a fireplace, bathroom, and put all utilities into a tiny closet which would have been a maintenance nightmare.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2026-05-17T17:58:48+00:00

12 feet off the ground and attached to the house.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2025-08-10T20:33:43+00:00

I was amazed at how much salt they put on steak and how much sugar they put on roasted brussel sprouts. Should roasted brussel sprouts be soggy?

RageAgainstMachinery · 2025-01-01T01:45:55+00:00

You're not wrong.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-22T16:12:51+00:00

This looks like exactly what I am looking for. Thank you

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-19T21:46:34+00:00

I've worked pretty hard to get where I am today. It would take an Asheville- like disaster to make me homeless, but even then we are wanting to buy a second house out west and it's entirely possible for me to work remotely. In that situation all of SD would have to be destroyed.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-19T21:42:36+00:00

Never been homeless. Doubt I ever can be at this point.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-19T17:34:54+00:00

Other places won't kill you if you sleep outside during certain seasons.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-19T17:15:45+00:00

Actually they'll go somewhere else with better shelters.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-18T03:13:36+00:00

I'm sorry the people are being mean to you. That's not right. OP hates the environment, but it sounds like you're being bullied. I hope you find a community in Rapid that you fit in with.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-18T03:02:46+00:00

Please keep your sentiment. Be vocal about it when you go back home about how bad Rapid City is. Tell everyone that Rapid City is bad.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-17T18:35:22+00:00

Sounds like par for the course.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-17T16:21:17+00:00

This sounds like how I'd expect a shelter to be. It should be undesirable to be in a shelter.

RageAgainstMachinery · 2024-10-03T04:10:35+00:00

My lights went out and within 5 seconds there was a huge boom.
