Is it really that little? The last few droughts to roll through California have been a non-issue. But maybe that's because domestic (non-agricultural) water consumption is like 5% of total water use

San Diego got its desal plant in the husk of an old coal plant, and it has been the GREATEST thing. We are much closer to water independence than anyone else in the state and not having to listen about constant drought nagging has been FANT

I've met a few, and they are a rare treasure, but in nearly every case my time with them is limited as something always happens that sees them gone. Whether it's retirement, getting ousted by the board, selling the company, or d

A couple of housecats multiplied and wiped out a bunch of native species on California's San Clemente island a while back. A friend of mine was a contractor doing work for the Navy on that island (it's USG property) and told me st

You are right in that I don't do rallies. But anger at the situation led me to join this one, where I was promptly reminded why I find political types so repulsive.

I attended a rally and march on Roe v Wade last night, and it was alarming to hear just how many other issues rally leaders tossed into the ring, to a large cheering crowd. Some of these were things have a legitimate intersection with repro

How the hell is Lost Ark so popular? The stereotype-laden jankfest where the social hubs are full of town guards that groan orgasmically nearly every time you walk past them? Hell, I can't think of any game that placed so much emphasis

So where's the schizophrenia epidemic among pot-smoking hippies? It's had like 50 years to surface, man. In all seriousness, there are a number of cohorts where this should be showing up with some regularity. Can you point me to

I am so glad this is the top comment. The author of this post sounds like a horrible person to work for. Also, we need to deliver a swift kick in the nuts to this unlimited growth philosophy. People under you NEED to plateau, that is their
