  1. I think El Paso has the largest inland desalination plant in the world. Their drinking water started going brackish years ago, and this was their solution.
  2. How many of those assholes collect rainwater? I realize its the desert, but even if annual rainfall is only say 10 inches, if you collect all that off the roof of a medium size house, that is thousands of gallons of water a year collected. The Rio Grande is drying up, and it should be absolutely no surprise that nearby wells are drying up as well. The aquifer and the river are the same milkshake-- take a slurp out of one, the other also goes down.
  3. All the AI generated images that have overtaken the various threads are making me surly.
  4. My step dad did 20 years as an Air Force SP. Never once had to draw his sidearm, although he'd tell me stories about cracking skulls of unruly drunks or wife beaters with a baton. When we were kids, we adopted a German Shepard puppy that we had to give up because it was too aggressive to strangers once he was full grown. The entire family drove down from Austin (he was stationed at Bergstrom back when it was an AFB) and gave the dog to the SPs at Lackland. The dog trainers made sure he wasn't gun shy, and took him away. My sisters and I were bawling our eyes out. Homer was a good dog, even if he didn't like strangers.
  5. No shit. years ago, I was hiking in Washington, not far from the Canadian border, and came across two brown bear cubs. They saw me and turned tail, one climbed a tree and the other ran off. I speed walked back down that trail in the other direction. Pucker factor extreme.
  6. Yeah but that would require some work and smarts. Easier to commit fraud.
  7. Reporters need to just stop with the "Tesla declined to comment". Have they ever? Are they still sending the poop emoji? Why even bother asking?
  8. Excuse me sir, I have to object. This is the trivial things thread, and that is not trivial.
  9. Come on man. This is bullshit rationalization. You are better than this. Hypocrisy and lies should always be exposed. Your holocaust metaphor is also bullshit. Its not like Jews choosing between two different Nazis. Its like normal Germans not speaking up when the Nazis came to power. (Yes, I realize this is a three month old post and the election is already passed. You should still publish the texts. )
  10. It would also go down a significant percent if people posting from work didn't bitch-post about people working from home
  11. Are you employed? Go fuck yourself. That's with a capital F in case you dumb motherfuckers can't spell.
