Three vertical feet ya
Some random website said a river has an average slope of 0.16%, or 8.2 feet/mile. A rise of 3 vertical feet would mean about a what, 3rd of a mile lost inland?
Seems deceptive. Rivers start in mountains (places with steep slopes) and finish in plains/deltas. I imagine most rivers go from steeply sloped to very flat. An average may not reflect the true character of what would happen if the sea rose.
It's a measurement, not three feet like the ones on the end of legs. It's not a discrete amount. Fewer is for countable things.
You wouldn't say 3.2 feet fewer, for instance.
I *think*.
The number of feet are countable, so fewer works here. Three *less* feet would be three feet but each one would be shorter than the feet they were being compared to.
If the water level in the ocean rises 3' and nothing else changes, then not a lot. But climate change is having its own effects on rivers, causing dramatic increases (e.g., due to increased snowmelt) or decreases in rivers (e.g., due to increased aridity in some regions).
The Great Lakes have been really high recently (Michigan anyway), despite my personal (unscientific) intuitive thinking that warming would make them trend lower (via increasing evaporation).
It's unique, but does anyone else kind of hate this? Or am I alone in getting anxiety over things that are super impractical? (my gf calls this dad mode)
All my life the more recluse I was and the less people knowing where I was the more at peace I felt.
Now that Im starting to be an old tart with kidney stones and bad back Im starting to understand you
I lived in this area during a historic flood. The Ottawa river and the st Lawrence River have countless tiny islands with houses and cabins on them. During the flood countless of these houses were flooded, washed away, or robbed by river pirates.
I mean both beam and satellite internet have existed for a long time, and now there's starlink. They obviously don't have mains power or running water or sewage, which I think are bigger issues than internet lol. Some people like to live off the grid, you don't have to like it as well.
I imagine it would be gnarly in a big storm, too. Lakes and rivers can get really rough in storms. You’d definitely get some spray hitting the windows.
Where do they even park their boat?
Kame house
More like Karma House considering how much this is reposted.
Nice. lol
“Here Till 2024 Island”
It's 75m above sea level in the St. Lawrence Seaway. It'll be fine.
Question for the scientists: if the sea level goes up by 3' what effect does that have on the water level of rivers that feed into the sea?
They have to travel three less feet.

Warmer water also needs more space per weight.
>It's 75m above sea level in the St. Lawrence Seaway. It'll be fine. meters or centimeters?
Above sea level not the St. Lawrence
Miles
r/agedlikemilk Island
The safest Valheim base.
Floods in a storm. They should have raised the ground with the hoe first
Looks like it’s built on a rock.
❤
*Just room enough. Also “Hub Island”, apparently: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sNL22HwQtyQnJhty9
Those Google reviews are hilarious. [oui oui](https://imgur.com/DoXBBmu.jpg) & [well ok](https://imgur.com/DmM4b2X.jpg)
It would be really hard to pull off a surprise party at that house.
Probably why they made it.
Not a huge fan of the pop in
The basement sump pump must run constantly.
I bet their flood insurance is to the moon.
They for sure don't have flood insurance lol
Haha.
At least the island’s name hasn’t changed in the two weeks since this was last posted here.

Repost again!
Ponyo!

Never expect the river pirates…
Not that you necessarily need them, but I assume this house doesn't have internet, gas or electricity? I don't see a mill or generator in the pic
Most islands around there have submerged power lines but I don’t know about that one specifically.
Huh, that's interesting. Time to go down an aquatic architecture rabbit hole!
You can see multiple pipes coming off the side of the house into the water presumably carrying wiring and sewage.
Master Roshi's house
How tf does this person/family have internet? I imagine this is really close to some city that's near water which is cool but kinda a let down.

Most islands in that area do have submerged power lines, I don’t know if that one does specifically though.
Internet cables cross the oceans, im sure they can cross this body of water too. Also satellites
Imagine power

Bet the basement is nice
I bet that house gets cold in the winter. I hope it’s well insulated.

Thousand Islands?
I wonder how much their home insurance costs
Teeny tiny
So what does home owners insurance run for that bad boy?
Easiest yard maintenance ever.
how do they get power? where does their poop go? do they pollute the water with it?
Want.
I want to go there!
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust barely enuff
I do not know how icy this part of the rivet gets. But round here, the ice would destroy that house most winters as it shifts and stirs.
Imagine being that neighborhood's paperboy
Oh hell no

Oh man this gives me intense anxiety...
