There's a reservoir near where I live (SW US) that was nearly filled in from erosion after severe fires. They had to go in and clean it out with equipment. You can see the large scale erosion on the hillsides. This was 100% caused by t

I agree with your point and disagree with parent. Fires are natural and are needed. But I remember reading (somewhere) part of the reason Australia became arid is repeated mass burning by Aboriginal people. Anyone know how true that really

That is an excellent idea. For some people just getting the experience of going to a job (as well as a resume line) would really help them, and... we need some stuff done for sure in the US.

And now they have deputized regular Portland police so rioters will face federal charges.

That's one of the reasons the US is cool. If you don't like the cultural environment in one place you can go to another and people do. No place is beyond the reach of the feds though, I'm not sure where you get that idea.

Agreed. And this is a good part of the "real" grievance of both young people and working class minorities, especially in big cities in my opinion. It's not working class wages haven't risen, they have. But, the costs of

When I was in school 35-40 years ago (in the south) they would literally beat you in the butt with a board. One coach had a whole collection of different shaped paddles hanging on the wall which he would point out the first day of class. It

The current situation in these big tech companies reminds me a little bit of Wahhabism and the founding of modern Saudi Arabia. Initially the king used the Wahhabi extremists as troops and it was quite a successful partnership. But eventual

History is written by the victors. Much as I dislike Facebook (and I've never used it) I wouldn't count on these dopey claims of Facebook supporting racism and bigotry because they refuse to remove a politician the author doesn&#x

Once I got stuck in dry river sand in Arizona (had a job surveying). The truck just sank down in the sand and couldn't get any traction. It was late in the evening on Friday, almost dark and I was out of phone range. I was single at th

Perhaps a tall pole with some realistic looking dummy cameras to start. Along with very prominent signs that activity in the area is being recorded. Another idea, corral your horses at night. Get them in the habit of coming back to a protec

Seems like those folks endorsing Biden might be a signal that something is wrong with the Biden camp to people who actually want change.

Back in the mid 90's I worked on a concrete crew for a few months. It was a big outfit building tip up buildings like box store type, maybe 50 guys on site. Everyone (I think) did meth except me and one other guy, a Native American. It

Warmongering I'll agree with. Powerful interests have made a lot of bad things happen. We can't change the past but we can and should work to change the future. However, I'm quite pleased we defeated Nazi Germany and hastened

And there is the right answer. If you are an American and you are professing hate for America (as many in this thread are) I feel bad for you. This is my home and I love it here. America has made mistakes, it will make more, it has corrupt

That's exactly right and this is a much underrated capability and I think it's the point being missed by those saying "well if you do XXX you can include React with a script tag too!"

"Settling Scores" is a very strange term to use. I don't think the law is for settling scores.

I'd have no issue about dating a women who owned a cat but I'd have reservations about dating a women holding her cat in her dating profile picture. Maybe it's less about cat, more about context.

I was in Guatemala in the early 90's on a bus and it stopped near a stand with people selling soda. The procedure was open the soda bottle, pour the soda into a plastic bag, put a straw in the bag and tie it. The vendor kept the bottle

The net effects of climate change (and of course the magnitude) are big question marks in my book. But you bring up the exact thing I think every time I hear the more extreme climate change claims. We have some very real and relevant issues

If we are going to have endless people we need endless farms probably. It would be cool if we could keep the population of the globe like 1/10 what it is now but I don't know of a humane and rights respecting way to achieve that.

I started programming at 39 1/2. (well except for a year or two of BASIC when I was a teen). I've been doing it professionally for 9 years now and I turn 50 next spring. No brain damage noted yet.

Thank you! From what I've read the Palestinians are nominally at least descended from the Philistines of biblical history. The Philistines were an Indo European people originally from Crete. (of course there is much mixing after such
