THREAD: Let's talk about #HurricaneKay and its expected influence across the Southwest! (1/9)
Right now, #Kay is a hurricane with 75 mph winds making landfall near the Baja Spur. It is expected to continue weakening into a tropical depression over the next couple days off the coast of SoCal. (2/9) Hurricane Kay forecast track, showing a downgrade to a Tropi
The main concern with Kay will be the influx of moisture into the region and associated potential for heavy rainfall. The official rainfall forecast from @NWSWPC calls for fairly widespread rainfall across the southwest over the weekend and into next week.

I owe you guys a story.

I committed the cardinal sin this week of sharing some opinions about something I thought was important. But you only want me shut up and dribble. Naturally.

Lucky for us, something wild happened last night. To unlock the story this post needs 100 RT's
...and with that. It's story time. Gather round kids because this really happened. Just yesterday in fact. I thought about changing the names of the innocent, and the guilty, but who gives a shit?
About 3pm yesterday I took a call at the Wynn. But my passenger wasn't there. I called the rider named Peter who informed me they were walking over from the shopping mall to meet me. Minutes later, Peter and a attractive lady climbed in. She was hot, and a tad drunk, he was ok...

Today I was called to the elementary school office to pick up my 10yo son. He choked another boy during an episode of rough-housing that turned into a fight. I was told he was being suspended for that day + one extra. (Vacation from school!) #LongThread 1/17
The new Vice Principal looked up my son's record + reminded him of the long list of previous bad choices he has made since kindergarten + let him know that these mistakes would follow him through middle school, high school + impact his future. 2/17
My child has brain damage. He has Reactive Attachment Disorder. In the most formative years of my child’s life, his brain has been damaged by hunger, neglect + abuse. He never developed properly. Many of the choices he makes are out of his control. 3/17

1. Will #Egypt and #Ethiopia go to war over water? As the planet is stressed with more frequent and more serious droughts water is becoming a major issue threatening peace. Not only in regard to the Egyptian/Ethiopian dam dispute but #Turkey shut down water entering both #Syria
2. and #Iraqi #Kurdistan as part of Turkey's Kurdish ethnic cleansing. In Iran, demonstrations over water in an authoritarian dictatorship show the intensity of water as an issue and what people are willing to risk to prevent their water from being cut off. The US is not immune.
3. Las #Vegas faces water shortages as its water continues to supply #California. Lack of rational legal frameworks and shared responsibility for the resources will be points of tension here and may also lead to wars abroad. I took quick look at the Egyptian Ethiopian problem.

Footage of what it looks like when a @Tesla is traveling through the @boringcompany’s Convention Center Loop. #vegas #boringcompany
For reference the Tesla’s I got to ride in yesterday in the tunnel we’re going about 35 mph. Not as slow as shown in this clip here.
The Boring Company is already well underway in getting the permitting and development agreements out of the way to get the planned Vegas Loop underway. Will run from DTLV down the Strip with a stop at Allegiant Stadium. Could extend to McCarran one day, too. #vegas #boringcompany Image

If you know me even a little bit you know that I experienced some wild things at my old job. Never anticipated anything unbelievable to occur at the new one but nonetheless here we are. Impossible kicked down the door. Gather 'round kids and I'll tell you about it. A thread...
My wife befriended a fellow Chinese woman on WeChat. Think, Facebook but for cool people. The Mrs., being head lead generator of our new business, immediately paid attention when the woman from Rancho Cucamonga mentioned that her and her husband were soon moving to #Vegas.
After getting to know each other a bit, the woman, who I'll call Linda, informed us that they had recently sold their house and were moving to Vegas in a couple weeks. They wanted to find an apartment to rent only for as long as it took to buy a new house in Vegas.

I have been asked how this would work. I welcome you to join me on a journey how #cashless #casino's could operate in 2020. I'll explain it based on the example of "Awesome Casino Vegas" or "ACV" which I made up for this example.

This is the exciting future in a thread... (1/x)
ACV is a #casino in #vegas and needs to go cashless. They choose to issue a stable #token on the #CSCL. $1= 1ACVT. They have their own branded #whitelabel version of the #casinocoin #BrankrollManager. Their customers can purchase #tokens at a cash cage... (2/x)
...or via #debit/#credit (and #crypto 😉) via the wallet. Customers get #KYC'ed on the fly when onboarding during the wallet setup. All transactions can be pinned down to an individual. They know exactly who is who and who did what and when. (3/x)

Just booked flight & @Airbnb for #Vegas in Jan w/ my 3 best friends from college. They’re all MDs, married w/ 1-2 kids. I’m a university professor w/ a book & a cat. We met as young women of color on the same full tuition scholarship living in the Honors dorm at @miamiuniversity.
I’ve always been the odd man out in our group: only non-premed/med school/doctor, only queer one, only one not interested in kids or marriage. But somehow our friendship has lasted over a 15 years. This will be the first time we’ve all been together in the same space in 5 years.
I’ve seen them all individually (we live in four different time zones across the US), but it’s been impossible to plan a weekend away as we all finished school/residences, moved multiple times, had babies, got new jobs, etc. I’m excited & emotional about all being together.

On days like today not even 5 yrs of faithful & honorable active duty #Service in #USMC can convince some ppl of a Muslims loyalty to USA.1/
Ppl ask me why I enlisted in the #Marines in 1997 at the age of 19. I tell them b/c loyalty to my nation of residence is part of my faith./2
I served the US faithfully BECAUSE of my faith, not in spite of it. I had the full support of my father — a Muslim Imam & my family. /3
