In terms of surface water, it’s over (for now). But groundwater is what takes multiple years to recharge, and even then some of the capacity has been permanently lost due to over-pumping, so no matter what there’s going to be less groundwater to fall back on when the next dry spell hits.

You mean, continue expanding the capacity of some reservoirs. Because, as far as I know, we’ve already built all the dams that are really possible.

Unless you’re talking about Yosemite? 🤨

I did exactly as you described, even though it meant technically trespassing onto the building site when it was empty on the weekends. 😬

And yes, these photos have been extremely helpful many times in the 20 years since. Including the time the main pipe to my sprinklers had a big leak, and I was able to give the guy fixing it a picture of the pipe in its trench before it was buried. He practically flipped his lid over how useful that was to help them find the pipe.

Main challenge is to make sure you take the pictures in a sensible enough order, and to take many of them, in order to be able to make sense of them afterwards. Otherwise, you may not know where the heck that pic of wires and boards you’re looking is supposed to be, when the time comes to use it. (Also adding a video walkthrough should help a lot too.)

Oh my GOD

What would be the type of circumstance where they could collapse into moon(s)?

Alternatively, if they were to get dense enough to even approach being solid, they’d collapse into one or more moons.

Fortunately Starship has the potential for as much as two.

Here’s a clue

Someone bet him that he couldn’t figure out a way to walk with his elbows.

I’m quite sure the show Alley McBeal would’ve been canceled several seasons earlier if he hadn’t joined it, even though he was just a side character. And when his issues did force them to write him out, the show was done.

I really love the 10-year anniversary piece. OP’s quote figures in it prominently — and spectacularly.

The real joke is that it included an British person, who presumably had an British accent

He wants to go to Florida. Where they don’t ask questions.

I mean the money is put through a complexifying filter of contracts, varying individual rates, lots of accompanying rules, etc.

Except there’s nothing basic about it. Except the work product.
