   #hongkong has a well-oiled machinery when it comes to weather events.

   HK Observatory issues weather warnings: Amber rain, red rain, black rain, monsoon, typhoon T1, T3, T8, T10

   Schools, employers, government and private services have well-documented standards for when they'll be open, be closed, offer limited service etc, depending on weather signal and timing.

   The city thankfully made a decision relatively early on, before adding millions of people, to invest in separate systems for rain drainage and waste sewage. The drainage has margins for even the most extreme weather events.

     There are people in the city who have decades of experience with civil engineering in this rainy region, but I guess nobody asked them to have a look at the plans before investing billions in construction?

     Compared to building entire malls and bridges, making sure this skylight is properly sealed and this walkway is five centimetres higher at that point over there doesn't seem like a huge expense.

     @lefarfadet Thank you, I will read this. Heatstroke is going to be an increasing problem, so I'm glad they're taking a look at the warning system.

     @Hypolite Petovan I think it may be that red rain is treated as a corner case and not worth modeling for.

     Amber rain happens pretty frequently, everything stays open, people are out and about. Black rains or typhoons don't happen every month, but when they do, most things close, and the rain is heavy enough that whatever you do, streets will be flooded. You're out at your own risk.

     Red rain is that in-between state that happens once or twice a year, most things stay open, schools stay open if they already opened, but they close if it happens before the schoolday starts.

   Der große See im Central Park hat etwas mit dem Maschsee in Hannover gemeinsam - beide sind künstlich entstanden.

    What is Mastodon's behavior when voting? Is the vote distributed as a normal comment and makes the poll indirectly federate, or does it do the same special (odd) thing that likes do, and only goes to the parent?

    Aaagh, stop causing long email threads because you:
    1) Don't understand each other's business processes and can't tell that the no big deal little exception you made is going to cause an issue in the other department
    2) Don't explain clearly the issue the first department caused for yours

    As much as I hate to see the thread, I'm glad when I end up in the middle and can explain to them why they don't understand each other.

    It makes me feel useful when my professional curiosity and all the asking and listening I've been doing for years pays off. 😁
