I live in the mountains. 2000 feet above sea level. The nearest river is a mile away and 40 feet of elevation below us. The river normally is 3 feet deep and 10 feet wide, when the area gets a lot of rain it can run about 8 feet deep, but no worries because that's how high the bank is. When Helene hit, the flood waters rose up to our street.

The rivers in and around Asheville were rising a foot a minute in some places. Those waters also had cars, trucks, trailers and roofs in them.
Mud/landslides are awful, but so is flooding and it can happen a lot quicker then most people think.
I'm very lucky to have escaped in time.
I get the spirit here but not sure I agree that it MUST be true mathematically.
A full time job is 32+ hours a week. Even if I use the American 40, that's still only 23% of the week not counting vacation or holiday.
Most people don't get more then 8 hours off sleep a night. That's 1/3 the day. 43% of the week for everything else.
That's enough time for you to do something more than sleep or work. Then count in time for vacation and holiday and if you don't sleep eight hours every night. And if you do stuff at work that isn't necessarily in your job title.
Due to my meds I can only sleep 4-5 hours a night.

Underrated app. Super useful
Just wait until you learn about friction!
My city is nestled between a rain forrest and lots of natural springs. If we put our water through the normal cleaning process it would come out dirtier then it went it. We also have a few damned lakes we are having to release water from because we got so much damned rain this past winter.
We have a flat rate we pay for water, sewage, recycling, and garbage pickup and are only charged more if we use a certain amount of water. Mostly just people who water their yard or have a personal pool have to pay the higher fee.

I kept having to change meds because different ones didn't work. One doc got me genetic testing which cost me about $15.
The legality of deporting citizens has not stopped America from doing it anyways in the past.

The area I live in has flooded 3 times since it was first inhabited in in the 1780s. 1915, 2004, and Helene. Helene had about as much water as those previous two times combined.
