Proposals have been made in the past to pipeline water from the Yukon to California. Both overland and underwater pipelines have been considered.
Water from the Columbia River has also been eyed as a water source for California.
Local opposition killed both proposals, but the dream of all that water still brings out the pipeline builders and irrigation farmers.
Always nice to hear from those marvels of technological information and advanced reviewing over at 4 Chan. It is informative to see them doing something more useful than posting pix of their penises and of women they'll never get near to. I suspect they think a hex key is something to photograph after it has been inserted into someone's pooper. Right next to the sharpie.
There are dozens of reviews available, both tech sites and in blogs from users for those who seek reliable information. The main drawback is price. This thing is built like a tank. It is durable, and has more adjustments than a 4 chan b/tard has perversions.

The weight is nice when you are playing at 3000 dpi or better. It prevents inadvertent vibration from spoiling aim or movement. I can play my Rat 7 at a much higher dpi than any other mouse I've owned. Once you get used to the weight, a lighter mouse feels like a balloon, all shape and no mass.
The easy dpi shift allows me to sufficiently lower the sensitivity so that my wife can use my computer without having a fit. She never got used to my Logitech G9.
The main issue to me is that this is really the Ferrari of computer mice. A small change in configuration can cause a large change in sensitivity or handling. A N D . . . since the Rat7 is almost infinitely configurable, the urge to make a "small" change now and then is considerable. For FPS games, it is a real asset. The sniper button is a masterstroke, which I expect to see copied by other manufacturers. I usually play between 3 and 4000 dpi and the sniper button is set to lower this to just 10%, making scope shots almost unmissable. The first time I went online to one of my haunts, I was warned off by the server for using an aimbot. Had to explain my new toy to a mod.
It is truly said that once you get used to a gaming mouse, regular ones feel like a piece of inert whatever, and you will not want to go back to a regular mouse. I have agreed with this for years, though I usually stuck with Logitech products.
I gave more than a bit of thought to the purchase of my Rat7, but I realized I'd spent almost as much on my Cyborg Steel Series Merc Stealth hybrid gaming keyboard. I play enough online FPS games to make them worth my while. They don't really give me a large competitive advantage. Afterward though, I can still feel my fingers, wrist and move them freely.
What about the medical profession, prescriptions exist for good reason, far more than just limiting supply to drug users.
The "good reason" was part of the AMA's campaign to eliminate competition during the early 1900's.
This long effort eliminated midwife home birthing in many states, prescriptions by pharmacists everywhere, and any other potential competition. Nothing like a monopoly to insure income.
Medicine in a business like any other and their lobbyists in the AMA delivered.
All under the guise of "professionalism" and think-of-the-lives-that-could-be-saved.
Control of all drugs through prescriptions was just part of the campaign. What became Big Pharma was one of their major allies.
I spent a season working for an outdoor organization that had unisex toilets and showers. Its a bit odd at first to be sitting on the pot reading the morning newspaper and to hear cheery female voices calling "Good Morning, Irv" over the top of the paper. But like most things, I got quickly got used to it and didn't give it a second thought.
These days, I have a wife and two mini schnauzers, and peacefully using the bathroom as a reading room is out of the question. One gripes about it and the other two keep beating me on the legs with their toys.
While on one of my long distance hikes, I would occasionally pass a country store and purchase a 24 oz can of a never before heard of brand of beef stew. I would pour this into my pot, add a cup of minute rice and some beef bouillon and top with a cup of water. Heated, this made a quart and a half of murky grayish brown gruel. It was a real treat and the pot was licked clean.
At home, I can not even look at a plate of this concoction, much less eat it.
Nothing like the ambiance of the mountains, day after day of dehydrated crud for food to make anything different a tasty feast fit for the gods.
The students who actually study the issues will see the differences of opinion and fact, and draw their own conclusions.Those who just accept the printed information usually do not care one way or the other.
As the students raise through the educational system, they will be exposed to other viewpoints, and can decide for themselves.
There is an assumption in these posts that all students in Texas are no more than blank screens waiting for the bigots of this view or that to propagandize them into mindless conformity. When the hell have teens been in conformity to anything adults value?
I believe that the Texas School Board is doing nothing but posturing for future political purposes.
When I was eleven, my family visited an Aunt and Uncle on their South Carolina farm. During the visit, the Aunt and Uncle were shocked and appalled to learn that I had no personal firearms. This was unheard of to them. Eleven year olds were expected to help out around the farm, and shooting varmints and bringing home the occasional squirrel or rabbit was part of the job.
When we left, I possessed a.22 single shot rifle and a single shot 16 gauge shotgun, with ammunition for both. A Springfield M1903A3 that had been owned by my father in pre WWII service was considered, but was deemed to heavy a weapon for an 11 year old.
Waaay back in the day, a few surplus civil war cannon were re-bored to handle beer cans. The cans were filled with cement and provided inexpensive shot. Back then it was considered an ingenuous way to have inexpensive fun.
Yes, decriminalizing heroin is a good idea. Before it became a prohibited substance it was cheaply available in your neighborhood drug store. Addicts didn't have to resort to criminal activity to get their fix.
The same laws that apply to alcohol should apply to heroin and other drugs. Adults may damage themselves all they want, but keep it away from juveniles. Going about while under the influence of drugs would be just as illegal as public alcohol intoxication.
Alcohol was, is, and will continue to be the most deadly drug consumed by Americans.
Back in the 70s, Dexedrine was prescribed for weight control. A chubby GF was an asset. Usual dose was 10 mg per day and Valium was the come down drug if you overdid the Dexedrine.
Rainbow Meadows Farms owned by Mr Pridgen seem to be sheep farm in the far Western Wilds of North Carolina. In the comparatively lush east, you don't need a hundred acres for one critter. The critter density is very high. Look up the number of cattle raised in, say Ohio, compared to Wyoming.
Whenever I venture into a Gamestop, I have to be careful not to step on small semi-sentient creatures scurrying around at my knee level. The places are crawling with them.
There is constant buzzing going on, mostly "have you played this one?" and various slang expressions showing approval or no for a game.
If the sales of used games are really eliminated, the next generation of games buyers will be greatly reduced. Not all kids have the unlimited allowances that permit them to purchase every new game that gets released. I suspect too, that the informal exchanges between these young gamers influence their choices more than any online game review.
Publishers need to be very careful, they might get what they wish for.
Keeps me and a lot of people employed and well paid.
From personal experience: Parents who have lost a child are devastated emotionally and often act irrationally.
Whatever the behavior of the child, they have suffered a horrible loss. Again, from personal observation, wealth does not alleviate this. It merely allows recourse to the legal system in their search for a non existent balm for their pain.
On the national level, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to separate a search for justice from political prosecution, if ex officials were to be put on trial for their acts while in office.
I start in a new warehouse. Look around, see men carrying boxes in their hands. Get men hand trucks. Make their job easier. They can now move three or more boxes with less effort.
Excessively simply explanation why I get paid more than dock workers.

There is no limit on anyone's education. Time spent in any institution does not always result in an education.
The world is full of semi-literate louts who have acquired a bachelors degree in something or other, and yet failed to gain an education.
In other news, a masters is the minimum requirement to fill the position of village idiot.....
