You're probably right. I've only read their more journalistic news stuff, not so much the lifestyle stuff. Anyway you should come visit some time.

Super nice weather on Oahu today! So I went on the Hanauma Bay Ridge Hike and snapped this photo.

why do people bring their fucking drones to the beach, on vacation WHY
― Οὖτις, Friday, 7 July 2017 17:22 (six years ago) link
happened twice, immediately cast about for a rock to throw both times
Ppl bring them to make themselves feel like they haven't wasted hundreds of dollars iirc. Yeah that shit is pretty annoying.
― davey, Friday, 7 July 2017 22:56 (six years ago) link
I feel like drones should be fair game for ppl with things to throw / slingshots

on the plus side I swam with some sea turtles and saw an (apparently rare?) hawaiian monk seal, so that was cool
― Οὖτις, Friday, 7 July 2017 22:59 (six years ago) link
Oh! All those creatures are magical. And yes the Monk Seal is fairly rare, population currently is about 1,500, I just heard on the news.

okay official never-mind notice. this has been cool cuz i definitely needed an experience that made our moment feel both more real and less

― Karl Malone, Saturday, 13 January 2018 18:57 (six years ago) link
how much time passed between the 'you're going to die' and 'oops, false alarm' messages?

emergency management officially tweeted it was a false alarm 13 mins after the orig alert; that's when i calmed down, to be freaked out a while later by the second one (which still began EMERGENCY ALERT: EXTREME lol)
― difficult listening hour, Saturday, 13 January 2018 19:05 (six years ago) link
the 'THIS IS NOT A DRILL' part seemed a little theatrical, would they actually include that if it WASNT A DRILL
― global tetrahedron, Saturday, 13 January 2018 19:07 (six years ago) link
Saw Gabbard’s tweet shortly after some initial ones reporting the alert, so mostly I’ve been just looking at responses. Unsurprising that there’s no consensus as to what was the cause even from officials. I’d give money to know if Trump was even alerted at all.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 January 2018 19:09 (six years ago) link
From here in SF it was an interesting psychological moment — I only saw a couple of tweets from one source RT’d into my feed, from a Buzzfeed reporter based there, and I basically assumed if it was a glitch or hack. Checked both the CNN and Honolulu Star-Advertiser pages and feeds: nothing. A few minutes later another RT with an alert was in my feed, but then Gabbard’s tweet was posted. So in the end at most I thought “Huh” rather than assuming it was all going down.

a friend tells me her co-worker had already fled work to "check on [his] ex-girlfriend" when the second message came
high point for me was when my dad entered the room holding up a little radio, just like group captain mandrake. it was playing won't get fooled again

I have a friend about ten minutes from the lava line (?) who is OK so far, but yikes
― sleeve, Friday, 4 May 2018 23:12 (six years ago) link
i'm in town and thus plenty safe; guiltily rly enjoyed the 10/10 sunrise this morning. my thoughts to yr friend sleeve!
from a local perspective what's freaking me out isn't the eruption but all these quakes. nothing a californian would change the subject for i'm sure (well unless he had reason to worry pressurized molten rock might burst from underneath his subdivision), but pretty unusual here. you sure don't feel in control, huh.

called in sick to work yesterday, arrived today to find that the backup projectionist had not seen the note (addressed to me) warning me to remove the ad slide for our upcoming "comedy ERUPTION!" event, thus causing complaints at last night's movie-- which was the death of stalin, so i'm not rly sure i'm willing to take the offended seriously.

Are you the person that used to work at Turtle Bay?
We had at very close 5.1 a couple of days ago. It was loud. I have been in an 8 point something before. These things suck even knowing to expect them or to wake up to shaking in the middle of the night.
