  1. She started out way behind, because Biden. She may or may not win, but that may have nothing to do with her "strategy" or some sort of strategic shortcomings.
  2. That all depends on how far above sea level the bottom of the fence is.
  3. The pressure load on the fence increases towards the bottom, whereas the wind load is roughly constant bottom to top. What I don't know is the relative magnitude. (Dams are thicker at the bottom for this reason.)
  4. I'm not sure. Obviously, it depends on the wind speed.
  5. It's not exactly hard to calculate wind loads. Civil engineers learn it . . . in school. Hell, most architects could do it.
  6. Yes, there are no structures capable of handling the tub surge of a preschool boy.
  7. Pretty cool interview on CNN with a director at Tampa General Hospital, talking about their "AquaFence" that provides surge protection up to 15 feet. It worked perfectly during Helene:
  8. I don't know how anyone expects anything of Morgan. It must be the accent. He's a game show winner who considers himself a Tory and counts Donald Trump as a close personal friend.
  9. Plus, it contains oats and some kind of tofu-ish shit. No thanks.
  10. You see, what this doesn't show is the tampering of the tabulators going forward. Checkmate, libtards.
  11. Most of the Tampa Bay area is under voluntary evacuation orders. It's still likely that Milton will be a Cat 4 storm when it hits. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't stay put for those winds.
  12. My coach couldn't get us to stop. Tiant's wiggle, the Joe Morgan batting twitch, all of it. We were never very good but we had fun.
  13. I'm going to see her on Thursday, that would be a real treat.
  14. I recently (and briefly) interacted on FB with a dude I knew from childhood. He is now 100% Q and MAGA, but was exceedingly polite about it, until he wasn't. He eventually accused me of having "gone feral". I kinda liked that. I unfriended him nonetheless. Feral.
  15. Is that a chicken fried steak or a hubcap?
  16. It's just so hilariously stupid.
  17. I've seen multiple Aggies assert that Arch was in fact downgraded to a 3-star recruit once he committed to Texas. How did this lunacy come about?
  18. Clearly you missed the caveat MINUS THE RADIATION. You just don't put the radiation in the bomb.
  19. We once stayed at La Playa in Naples for a few days, and really enjoyed it, but it was pretty isolated from the city proper. We did get out a bit but mostly just hung out on the beach. Now, our subsequent trip to St. Pete Beach was awesome. Much more our speed. We spent a few days at that giant pink monstrosity, but the little town full of bungalows etc. seemed like the kind of place we could live.
  20. I'm not entirely sure what's going on here, but Commerce is 120 miles west of Texarkana and 700 miles east of El Paso, so . . . ?
  21. Well, it's not in west Texas.
