My favorite pine tree. Smells like butterscotch to me, other say they smell like vanilla. Now that that is out of the way I would imagine that it isn't 1 in 3 trees dead spread evenly across the state but is more like all the trees in this valley are dead now but two valleys over they are all alive and doing pretty good. What I wonder is if they are going to log out those dead trees or wait for the forest to burn to the ground in a massive inferno. Waiting too long and the trees will be covered in these signaling that they are not worth while for lumber any longer
Well then CA shouldn't have a problem with cutting their water usage for alfalfa, irrigate pastures, and corn then, see page 3? Simple fact is that CA shouldn't be raising cattle, or cattle feed but they get the highest dairy subsidies so that it becomes economically viable to raise cattle there instead of in a climate that is better suited to doing so.
If CA really wanted to make sure it had enough water they would quit trying to grow shit in a desert. Here is a good source of where CA uses water. Yes almonds and pistachios are big users, but is nothing when you look at the usage for low value crops used for animal feed for the fucking cattle out there. Really alfalfa, irrigated pastures, corn, etc. all to feed subsidized cattle because CA dairy producers get the highest dairy subsidies. To quote Sam Kinison:
YOU LIVE IN A DESERT!! UNDERSTAND THAT? YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT!! NOTHING GROWS HERE! NOTHING'S GONNA GROW HERE! Come here, you see this? This is sand. You know what it's gonna be 100 years from now? IT'S GONNA BE SAND!! YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT!
That made me wonder what the current cost was as the last time I was in microcenter they had a bin of RPi Zeros and were selling them for $0.99. So it looks like that was a special sale that day/week.
How? In Minnesota they don't record who requests a spoiled ballot only that a ballot was spoiled. It gets marked as spoiled and then put into an envelope with all of the other spoiled ballots and you get a fresh one.
I was not aware of the Apple IIe cards but always got a kick out of the DOS Cards I always wanted to take one of my buddies macs that had one (I think it was a 100MHz one) and see if I could have a machine the used both the PowerPC processor and the x86 one on the card.
Well it looks like the USB A connector has had a good ~20 year run. So if everyone could adopt it in fairly short order I don't see a reason that USB C couldn't have another good run.
I know with highly accurate timing devices with a PPS output they need a real serial (most of them) or parallel (some but I guess they exist) port to trigger an interrupt so you can get the accuracy needed while with a USB to serial connection you get to wait until the CPU decides to polls it.
To that I would add they can also take a lot of abuse unlike a lot of other batteries. They are easy to recondition which is good for those looking for a low total cost of ownership.
I wouldn't go with a powerwall here in MN, but am seriously looking at some of these for a cabin I plan on building on my lake property as I don't want to pay for a 1/2 mile electrical run and transformer so I could get power out there. nickel iron batteries can take a beating
Sounds similar to a discussion we had with one of my coworkers who is Indian and one day asked how we would spell a name him and his wife were considering for their next kid. The problem was that there isn't really a way in English to spell the name and we told him that unless he wants everyone to butcher his kids name he should consider picking a different one.
Sadly it does happen. My dad works in a hospital and gets a kick out of some of the newborn names. And yes he has seen a Latrine before, also Christopher Columbus, George Washington, as well as the numerous spelling modifications of names that would get the fog horn. When you give your kids a name like these they are going to have a harder time in general. Who the fuck thinks it is a good idea to name their kid Christoper Columbus Whatever. Just like if someone were to name their kid apple or moonbeam, the fact is they are going to have a hard go of things.
Remember anyone saying that a woman can't do that and that Janeway could command her ship was "unrealistic"? I don't.
I don't either, but I do remember the endless series of jokes about how Star Trek finally had a woman captain and the first thing she does is get the ship lost on the other side of the galaxy.
I always like trying to get a warranty on my '96 Jeep Cherokee with 370,000+ miles on it. I once tried to get it for my 68 MG Midget. In all cases I was told off for wasting their time.
only to have him start asking "What does it feel like to bang a goat?"
My response to those questions has been "I don't know, go ask your mother" which usually sends them into a raging tirade of curse words in languages I don't know.
Sounds similar to a stupid debt collector. They use tactics like that, although the one I put the screws to used the same number every time. Anything that is important will be sent through the mail, usually certified with delivery confirmation, so crap like that is safe to ignore.
I am to the point where I treat anyone asking for money over the phone in any form as a scam. Sometimes even a "legitimate" company screws the pooch really badly with what I find to be hilarious results. I've been a dick to scammers and questionable companies for decades now and get a fair amount of enjoyment out of it. This does remind me that I should see if I can find my refillable air horn.
I always like the ones who would call to offer me a vehicle warranty for my recently purchased vehicle. Those were fun as they started calling about 3 months after I bought my beater Jeep that at the time I got it had just over 350,000 miles on it and was a '96 or the '88 Bronco II with 250,000+ on it before that. I would string them along as they were offering a warranty on my most recently purchased vehicle. They would end up cursing me out for wasting their time when they found out just how old and how high of mileage that vehicle was. One insisted that it was for my other car after telling me the beater couldn't be covered but didn't like it when I mentioned that it was a '97 with 240,000 miles on it.
When I get these calls at work on my work cell phoneI have my Indian coworkers tell them obscene things until they hang up.
Even if the banks are scanning all serial numbers big deal. When I worked at a gas station years ago all small bills, less than a 20, would likely be taken from a customer and handed back to a different one as change. The only time that small bills would end up sent back to the bank is if they were part of the safe drop when we counted down the register at the end of a shift, and even then we would try to keep the small bills by changing them out for 20s or higher from the current registers before making the deposit. I would imagine that the smaller the bill the more it cycles through various private entities before it gets back to a bank. Hundreds, fifties and probably 70% of twenties seem like one and done before they are back at a bank but the other bills probably cycle through a number of times. Also if you wanted to confuse the system wait a while before spending a larger bill.
Wow that 0.02% APY, assuming I have more than $10,000 in my checking account. So assuming I maintain a minimum balance of $10,000 for an entire year I get an extra $2 big fucking deal. In most cases it is an APY of 0.01% so there one would be looking at a few cents, or the amount of change I get from a trip to Chipotle that I toss out on the sidewalk for kids to find because a kid to finding a few pennies makes the day. Even savings accounts have shit rates now with the best having a 1% APY again big fucking deal.

If you don't like "censorship", it's a free country- instead of being a parasite on Twitter, LEAVE and start your own site.
Man has it been a long time since I had seen a conservation link. I feel dumber for having read that but am always amused with this description of it.

they are easy to take care of

I thought it was:
Where did you want to go today?
due to the updates, crashes, and reboots.
Well assuming they follow the proper naming convention it should be Golgarth son.

I would consider /. more of an anti-social network.

I now want to answer the phone "CIA Special Activities Division, drone strike department" and then let them know a reaper strike has been ordered for their location.
