NWS Quick Response Team (QRT)

A specialized team of engineers and experienced meteorologists deployed to assess tornado damage, especially when a tornado is suspected to exceed EF3 intensity (i.e., EF4 or EF5). In accordance with NWS policy, these teams include wind engineering experts to help ensure accurate ratings for high-end events. They are requested by local NWS offices through their respective regional headquarters, which include the Western Region Headquarters (WRH), Central Region Headquarters (CRH), Southern Region Headquarters (SRH), and Eastern Region Headquarters (ERH).
A regional NWS Quick Response Team (QRT) determined that this was an EF4 tornado, with a well-constructed home being swept clean from its slab and its debris broken into small pieces and carried 50 to 200 yards.

Personal responsibility

Hym "Lack of personal responsibility is a blanket term that roughly translates to: 'Expects other people to do for them the things that people are actively and militantly doing for me.... Because I deserve it and they don't.... Because I'm the one who decides who deserves things... Because I'm a prophet.... And those things include shielding me from criticism (or at least doing damage control), platforming me, crediting me in reference, creating opportunities for me, etc...'But no. What I lack is not personal responsibility. It's a lack of the benefits you all accrue from association bias and nepotism. I am perfectly adequately personally responsible. Totally sufficient."

straightforward response

Refers to how a dude's love-pipe behaves if a gal he's with shows him "The Merchandise".
A guy's having a "straightforward response" when in the presence of a naked chick makes perfect sense if you think about it... if the dude's lulu sticks out firmly and is "aimed" at said "au naturel" damsel, it more-readily facilitates his simply stepping forward and "sticking it in".

Response

My response? Wow! If you're asking ME then CLEARLY there's some trickery afoot.
Hym "Ok. My response is: Give me the credit and the money for the AI. Immediately. That is all."

fidouchiary responsibility

Responsibility to enrich shareholders through human cost savings.
You've done great work here Jimmy and I'm sorry your kid is sick, but I have a fidouchiary responsibility to let you go. The good news is that firing you will 'add value' to shareholders.
