Because populism as a political movement almost always involves “othering” some group and scapegoating them for all your problems. In extreme cases this can lead to violence against said group or groups and can be dangerous

I mean kinda. The highest density meteor strikes are in the central US, which many parts have very low population density. My guess would it could also have something to do with great visibility of the sky/ fewer trees to block viewing further away and closer to the horizon.

It makes sense that any one craft beer would not be a large percentage but as a block grouped together I think a “craft beer” category would be a sizeable number.

Wtf there’s no way that craft beers don’t show up anywhere on this list?

As someone that is responsible for entering the some of the weather related data that goes into these figures I can tell you these numbers are very much conservative estimates. Many times we do not know the details of structures that are damaged and many times do not even hear of all the damage that occurs. Most of the time I am just trying to aim for the right order of magnitude but almost always stay toward the lower end of what seems reasonable as an estimate.

It took me years to figure things out. Now I’m just careful to use cannabis in smaller doses and to not use it daily. I prefer it over alcohol as well!

Either form will give me greater anxiety if I use it regularly. I never understood why people always said they smoked to chill out or relax because it’s always had the opposite effect on me. Like if I smoke I can’t go to sleep for at least 2-3 hours after because my mind will be too active.

Vibes with my own experience. I stopped using weed regularly when I realized it was making my anxiety worse. I’m a naturally anxious person.

Religious people being hypocrites? Never

Hurricane and tornado formation occur on completely unrelated time and size scales along with the processes that go into them.

Likely more of a product of lack of EF5 caliber tornadoes hitting something that would qualify as an EF5 rating. Remember, the rating scale is based on DAMAGE not wind speed. Therefore, if it doesn’t hit an extremely well built structure the maximum rating it can be given is EF4.

El Reno, OK 2013 had measured wind speeds using radar over 300 mph but failed to hit anything to give it an EF5 rating.

Basically, it’s very difficult to say whether the gap we are seeing is simply bad (good?) luck or part of some overall trend.
