Louisville, Kentucky.

Despite the rising tensions as a Black Lives Matter group dubbed NAFC, or “Not F**cking Around Coalition,” arrived and were met by the far-right militia group the Three Percenters, the only apparent shots to ring out were friendly fire, police said.
 
At least three people were hurt when the gunfire erupted around 1 p.m. near Baxter Square Park.
 
One NFAC member told the crowd, “we had a little accident, it happens,” according to a report.

I got nothin.

But all is not lost. The “behavioral analysis unit” is performing a psychological autopsy on the gunman, that will include talking to people who knew him. Because science.

Your open thread on the just announced Trudeau gun grab and instant criminalization of thousands of law abiding Canadians by Order in Council.

(Unless you’re First Nations and use these “military firearms which are only designed to kill people” to hunt, in which case — carry on.)

Keep the language clean.

Manufactured Conflict in Virginia?

Some are very concerned about what may happen in Virginia on MLK Day:

Republican Virginia State Senator Amanda Chase issued a warning on Friday to the thousands of Second Amendment advocates who are planning to attend an upcoming massive pro-gun rally in Richmond, saying that they are “being set up.”

The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) organized the event, which is being held on Monday, and “is traditionally known as ‘Lobby Day’ in Virginia’s capital,” WTOP reported. “Tens of thousands are expected to show up for the event Monday in Richmond. Given the contentious nature of the issue, the prospect of such a large event has raised tensions. Earlier, [Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph] Northam declared a state of emergency. And recent arrests have further raised those tensions.”

Any predictions on how the media will twist the truth to demonize one or more attendees?

The Hundred Year Flood

Cold Dead Hands It's Probably Nothing The Deplorables 37 Comments

You may not be interested in math, but math is interested in you.

To determine a floodplain boundary, we first identify a “storm event” that concerns us. We use historical rainfall data and some statistical magic to calculate the worst storm event a place is likely to experience in a 100-year time span, probabilistically speaking, and we call that the “100-year storm.” There’s a push in the field to quit calling it that, because it confuses the muggles, so now we often say something like “the storm which has a 1% chance of happening in any given year.” Then we take that rainfall data, judiciously apply more math, and turn it into a flow rate in a river. Then we do hydraulics (more math) to determine how deep the river will have to be to carry that much water, and we draw a line on a map. […]
 
Let’s quickly walk through this. The chance of flooding, P(F), is 1%, or 0.01. The chance of not flooding, which we notate P(F’), is 100%-1%, or 99%, or 0.99. To see the chance you don’t flood two years in a row, you would have to “not-flood” the first year, and then “not-flood” the second year, so you multiply the two probabilities together, and get 0.9801. The chance of “not-flooding” 30 years in a row is calculated by multiplying the chance of not flooding with itself, over and over, 30 times, which is a power relationship. P(F’)³⁰. That’s 0.7397 chance of 30 consecutive years of no flood, which means a 26% chance of at least one flood.
 
And then your mortgage broker doesn’t give you your thirty-year fixed rate loan, because a 26% chance of a disaster is a big chance, when we’re talking about disasters.
 
Now let’s talk about a bigger, nastier disaster than a flood.
