NFIP insurance is pretty limited, I think $250k structure and $100k contents. It also doesn’t cover things like additional living expenses, which would include a hotel while you’re displaced. It’s also often your only choice, though. It’s something that every home owner needs to consider for themselves based on the flood risk of their area.

That was already done over fifty years ago through the national flood insurance program, NFIP.

PSA: If you are in a flood prone area, your lender may require you to purchase flood insurance. But did you know that some communities will argue against changes to the flood maps that would show them as being in a flood prone area? This means you may be at a higher risk for flooding than the federal maps would suggest. You can still buy flood insurance through the NFIP, though.

Isn’t paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search “what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?” I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.

DDG didn’t provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.

This type of summary wouldn’t be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.

The fact that users wanting a “feature complete” product at launch is seemingly news to them is absurd.

But look, he paints! Just like Bob Ross, so that means we can just forget about all that other stuff, right?

Passports mostly fit that description, but they’re not free.

Coincidentally the odds are that almost exactly one will guess 9 out of 10 correctly, and about four people will guess 8 out of 10 correctly. Odds drop to about 1 in 1000 for guessing all 10 correctly.

I like to imagine they spent days going to every donut shop they could find and that was the best interaction they could get on film.

Any suggestions for spiritual sequels?

Have any companies besides ubisoft used the term yet?

So what I’m hearing is EVs have a 60-80% lower carbon cost?

Good thing this wasn’t the attitude about lead.

He does events in the public space of trump tower without a permit, which Cohen equates to stealing from the people of New York. Click saved.

I can’t imagine Ukraine letting Russia keep Crimea, but I also can’t imagine Putin letting it go.

Experian has a program where you connect your bank account and they monitor transactions for things that could improve your credit by a couple points. I’m sure they’re not also harvesting the rest of your data to use in their analytics, right?

If it’s a generality, why bother bringing it up about trans rights? That’s why commenters are saying it’s a dog whistle.

Even if they don’t actually “use” the DLCs, it makes sense to require the same content that the developer owns and used to test the mod.

And so do your ears, via the Eustachian tubes! They drain to your throat, I don’t know how close the eye/ear drains are to each other.

I was a little worried about him taking Biden votes before, but I’m not sure Harris is going to lose any votes to RFK.
