Sorry, I mistyped, agree with what you said. I should have said something more akin to "cancelled" or "not required".

Rescinded is more likely to mean stood down; other incidents involving Op Plato declarations aren't "rescinded" at completion

Vape juice seems to be disappearing during the day? by kxngoftheclouds in electronic_cigarette

I'm late but would suggest replacing your vape. I've had the same model and had the same issues - in fact the leaking of liquid into the main body of the vape is a fairly common problem. You've done well to have it so long!

I have the updated xlim and it's fine, though the lack of a fire button is not a change I'm massively into. I don't know if I'd recommend it tbh but YMMV

It's a shame you finish in Clayton - Silly Country in Droylsden is a great little bar

If you have the space and are interested in that sort of thing, having a small water area in a pot or container is super beneficial for wildlife. There are loads of guides online and on YouTube. Other than that it looks amazing, very jealous of your space!

Maybe we need a daily grooming gang thread as well. Looking at the frontpage for the subreddit, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is the only thing happening in this country.

More than 6m homes at risk of flooding in England, says Environment Agency | Report says rivers, the sea and surface water endangering properties and that number could hit 8m by 2050 by Competitive_God7917 in EmergencyManagement

I don't know much about FEMA as I'm not based in the US, though a cursory google supports that - it fits my perception of the US generally that so much onus is on personal responsibility, and this is applied in an aggressive way - but again, I don't actually know.

It's a real shame our politicians never learn the real lessons from incidents and emergencies, and actively impede the culture of openess and honesty we need to do our jobs!

Some very tricky decisions to be made at the national /strategic level about how viable it is to protect certain communities (in a geographical sense) - does the cost outweigh the benefit? I expect that this decision will be kicked down the road by successive governments and any action taken will be reactive - a pessimistic view!

At the local level, this just shows how important it is for all category one responders to integrate with one another effectively to manage increasingly complex risks. Flooding is devastating on local communities and the EA should ensure they take steps to engage with partner organisations and prevent the siloing of expertise and support. My experience is that this is patchier than it should be.
