If there is one, it has to be how much weight it can hold if it’s caught in an updraft.

I’ve weathered some bad storms in north face expedition tents on mountaineering trips.
They have 2 dozen tie down points to keep it from flapping in high winds. We used snow pickets to anchor which freeze into the ice.
Whatever the jokers are claiming about their concentration camp canopies will not survive a hurricane.

I sense a Ministry of Truth coming. Won’t be long before all you hear are Trump sycophants spouting bullshit.

Nah. Dump is just telling us of his intention of cooking the labor market data. Every accusation is really a confession.

This is what I use on my glamping setup. Just did 30mph with no problem. Didn’t even need the sandbag weights. 12 inches long.
But a hurricane? Not gonna happen.

I question whether he understands tariffs in the most basic way (i.e. as a tax on Americans). Seems like his bullshit brain took over, and he’s recast them as… something else, that’s both good and the hammer that turns all international relations issues into nails. His misunderstanding also seem to be fractal (e.g. his recent comments about how the Smoot Hawley tariffs were imposed to attempt to end the Great Depression, rather than understanding that they were imposed in advance of the depression*), where he’s wrong on all levels, on every aspect of tariffs.
*Which suggests that maybe he doesn’t even see the connection between tariffs and the Guilded Age - unless he thinks that took place in the 1940s and '50s? (Honestly, no interpretation is too wrong for me to ascribe them to Trump.)

The BOP did not specify why she was transferred.
But according to the bureau’s designation policy, Maxwell appears ineligible to be housed at a minimum-security prison camp because she is a convicted sex offender.
Sex offenders must be in at least a low-level security prison like FCI Tallahassee, unless she received a waiver.
Only the administrator of BOP’s Designation and Sentence Computation Center can make that decision, according to the waiver policy.

FFS. A pro-coal post from the Department of Energy. (Which simultaneously misunderstands the role of the Depart of Energy, but also delusionally presents coal as a modern energy source. They’re not fooling anyone.)
I await the equivalent post from the Department of Transportation:
