  1. socal edison says they turned off their lines an hour before the eaton or paradise fires started but that they were still running when the hurst fire started and they found a conductor on the ground insurance companies starting to point fingers at socal edison

  3. i know a little bit about the subject matter i understand creative license with historical events this is the jewish space lasers version of the utah war i watched the first episode i will go back to it someday when i have time purely for the purpose of documenting it's absurdity netflix has reached a new low with their own content
  4. stonecold sober you may say i'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one
  5. i have long dreamed of a fleet of giant drones 3 miles in diameter which can deploy under a mesocyclone and prevent a tornado from reaching the ground it's entirely plausible with current technology +++ we spent somewhere between 4 and 6 trillion on ww2 which at the time was somewhere on order of 35-40% of gnp every year if we wanted to build infinity-billion-gallon water tanks in the rocky mountains to be able to douse a vei8 yellowstone event and turn the western us in to a mudpit, we could do it today it's just the cost +++ in 2023, the top 1% of American households had a total net worth of $43 trillion, which is 30% of the country's total net worth if they all gave up 10% of their net worth, we could solve for everything except earthquakes and the areas below sea level above mentioned we could also eliminate poverty, homelessness, cancer, debt, put 10000 people on mars, and build a daedulus ship for a 100-year round trip to barnard's star
  6. it absolutely can be done and the cost is not prohibitive the delta law was passed in 1958 and between then and completion of the delta works in 1997 the total cost was 13 billion guilders, about US$6.5 billion, in 1997 money value they thought they would be good to the year 2100 but global warming is accelerating their timetable for the next rebuild over here in trumpia, we've got a number of natural disasters we could defend against, if we wanted to, and some we can't places the dutch would say "this is not possible": all of florida, louisiana, delmarva the dutch absolutely would agree to drain galveston bay and build 10 miles of deltawork defenses, and then the concrete piping to drain a direct cat5 hit up the ship channel that drowns the entire metro; very easy, very doable, just a matter of political will and the $ solving for southland wildfires can also be done dams desalination goats gravity land pipes prisoners & screws (solar-driven archimedes) sacrifice every undeveloped inch of land in the simi hills and the san bernadino, san gabriel & santa monica mountains no wilderness next to and above LA no flora no fauna no games no fun we're not solving for interstellar space travel it would cost less than the property losses of the current catastrophe and the space laser bitch would love it WeAtHeR KoNtRoL!!!!
  7. people laugh when i tell them i don't download apps on my cell
  8. who will spend $10 billion on a sports team? any hire is just a placeholder until we find out if stephen will hire a gm or if he intends to continue his father's legacy jones turned 82 on october 13th this is a horrendous thing to say, but we are down to actuarial tables in the calculation of fucks given about the cowboys
  9. i would on top of what he has earned with us, his NPV is already close to 10m that's enough to bankroll a no-bling lifestyle for 2 wives, 4 kids, 8 grandkids then whatever you earn in the league is gravy for boats 'n shit if he flounders someplace else he's on the gilbert track if he has a similar injury pattern he's on the gilbert track nil giveth, nil taketh away as long as he does not go to a sec team he's in my good graces if we have to meet him in the playoffs, that's great for him and great for us i know which qb i'm betting on
  10. hank sums up my feelings overall to which i will add the following; note i have not read this thread in more than a year so if my take is a duplication my apologies.... i offer the ewers camp the following for their consideration: right now they can run with the narrative that he didn't self-sack and he is not injury-prone because of "the texas offensive line" (not true, but it sells, at this time) the hate engine doesn't watch our games, the above narrative feeds confirmation bias, and right now, it plays with 80% of league GMs who don't know any different nil anywhere and not win a title is extremely probable nil anywhere and get injured again means this decision was a 1-time payday have both of those things happen somewhere else, and the current narrative is played out will lloyd's insure against self-sacking or niggling ankle/shoulder injuries? is the ewers camp satisfied with what ewers has earned through nil + the final nil payday next year somewhere else + whatever he can make in the nfl? does the ewers camp think he has 8-figure earning potential in the league? here's some numbers for a certain player, the team data is obfuscated to illustrate the point; the team names were the divisions those teams were in at the time of the 1970 merger the last number format is year.contract (in that year) Career Earnings: $2,668,585 10 years, 20 contracts, 13 contracts with zero earnings nfc west Drafted Terminated 1.1 nfc west Practice Terminated 1.2 afc east Practice Expired 1.3 afc east SFA Terminated 2 nfc central SFA Terminated 3.1 afc west Practice Expired 3.2 afc west SFA Terminated 4 expansion SFA Terminated 5.1 expansion Practice Renegotiated 5.2 expansion SFA Terminated 5.3 expansion SFA Terminated 6 afc central SFA Terminated 7 afc central Practice Renegotiated 8.1 nfc east SFA Terminated 8.2 afc east Practice Terminated 9.1 nfc east SFA Expired 9.2 afc west SFA Terminated 10.1 afc east Practice Elevated 10.2 afc east Practice Expired 10.3 afc east Practice Elevated 10.4 his last contract expired in january 23 the individual whose career is above illustrated was the last high-profile quarterback to transfer from The University Garrett Gilbert source: https://overthecap.com/player/garrett-gilbert/3153
  11. everyone gets unlimited mulligans in rocketry that said BO needs to set their launch windows in daylight until they have 3 or 4 launches under their belt one would think they would prefer daylight for maximum visibility of the stack in the event of an anomaly +++ https://www.blueorigin.com/news/new-glenn-ng-1-mission News | Jan 13, 2025 New Glenn NG-1 Mission Updates We’re standing down on today’s launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window. We’re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt. +++ After a string of chronological changes to the target liftoff time, Blue Origin crews scrubbed Monday's early morning maiden launch attempt of the 321-foot New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. "We’re standing down on today’s launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window. We’re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt," Blue Origin officials announced in a 3:09 a.m. EST tweet. No further details were released. Now, space fans — ranging from hardy spectators who packed Jetty Park to New Glenn webcast viewers around the world — await a new target launch time and date from the private space company. Blue Origin officials released few details during the initial New Glenn launch try. After announcing that propellant loading was proceeding at 8 p.m. Sunday, a subsequent string of Monday morning tweets notified the public of liftoff target times of 1:31, 1:52, 2:07, 2:27, 2:48 and 3:15 a.m. before the scrub was announced. Among the key hopes of the Blue Origin team is to land the booster on this first attempt. Per a Blue Origin NG-1 mission timeline, the New Glenn first-stage booster should land atop the drone ship Jacklyn hundreds of miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 9 minutes, 28 seconds after liftoff. "We want to be clear about our objectives. This is our first flight and we’ve prepared rigorously for it. But no amount of ground testing or mission simulations is a replacement for flying this rocket. Our key objective today is to reach orbit safely. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake," a Blue Origin tweet said. "We know landing the booster on our first try offshore in the Atlantic is ambitious — but we’re going for it. No matter what happens, we’ll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch," the tweet said. +++ in addition to the vehicle issue(s) whatever they are, the streamcast was odd.... the BO site video was fed to Nasa Spaceflight, however the countdown clock was out of synch by as much as 30 minutes.... and yet the graphics in the NSF stream were exactly the same as the BO "source" video.... BO was adding time to the clock in the NSF feed but not in the feed on the BO site.... very strange, and definitely not ready for primetime
  12. this is the 5th year of 14 in, only #1s get byes, 6 wildcard games the first 4 years at least 1 road team won
  13. his tampon is swold
  14. shit i just cheered for washington
  15. thoughts and prayers for your personal ecosystem all of the fingerpointing was initiated by the protected class (the far right) it was necessary to start this thread to capture and comment on that fingerpointing because doing so in the DT thread would have resulted in censorship of said capturing and commenting
  16. t - 8 hours sea states nominal launch window opens 11:59pm TONIGHT blue origin coverage at 11pm central: https://www.blueorigin.com/missions/ng-1 page has good graphics on visibility (as far away as alabama and north carolina) and flight profile

  22. i just read this article: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/energy-a-environment/5081175-trump-slams-incompetent-la-fire-handling/ this morning the orange man posted a take on his twitter that is so absurdly stupid i wanted to post it by itself in the DT fire thread then i realized it would get deleted from the above link: +++ President-elect Trump slammed officials in charge of handling the raging wildfires in the Los Angeles area, calling them “incompetent.” “The fires are still raging in L.A.,” Trump wrote on Truth Social early Sunday morning. “The incompetent pols have no idea how to put them out. Thousands of magnificent houses are gone, and many more will soon be lost. There is death all over the place.” He added that the fires are “one of the worst catastrophes in the history of our Country.” “They just can’t put out the fires. What’s wrong with them?” he continued. +++ what is the point of participating in any thread in DT at all?
