If the climate change crowd is to be believed, we’re supposed to see more extreme weather right? Safe to assume that would include storms like these. Build reservoirs to catch whatever rain we get!

Even if that’s true, still would have been nice to catch it all and save it wouldn’t it? Those last storms could have filled dozens of reservoirs.

See that pic at the top of this post? Every single drop of that water runs straight into the ocean right now.

The solution is building new reservoirs and expanding existing ones. Every time they attempt this, some environmental group sues because of some supposedly endangered mouse in the area or some such thing. Without more water storage, humans will become endangered, forgot about the mice.

Reply to Is there anything I can spray inside my cement mixer to stop clumps sticking to the sides? by wotmate
The concrete guy I work with have a spray bottle of diesel fuel. They spray all their tools etc so nothing sticks. Also pour in slowly.

I install these regularly. Here’s what I do.
Where there is a stud, use one of the supplied screws. In one of the other holes on each side of the mount, use one of these. You’ll be just fine. Because the tv sits so close to the wall and doesn’t pull out, all the force is directed almost straight down.

Crony Capitalism and capitalism are not the same. Term limits and an end to corporate political donations/bribes ends that but still keeps the mechanisms that drive innovation and productivity.

I don't disagree with you really but capitalism is what supplies the resources to make the system work. You can't as a government give away money unless somebody made and the government took it to redistribute it. That fact can not be denied.

Reply to Are most of our predictions wrong? by Sasuke_1738
Most of our predictions are always wrong frankly. The people making the predictions can’t possibly know all there is involved in whatever they are predicting.
Somebody told me something once that stuck with me, “we don’t know what we don’t know.”.
