  1. Yeah like I said above, a water infrastructure capable of handling such a disaster would be a gargantuan undertaking, if it could be done at all. And if it could be engineered and constructed, there is zero chance imho that anyone would pay for it.
  2. I just read that this 737 has no backup power for both the CVR and FDR. If both electronic circuits fail (ie both engines stop working), the 737 relies on a battry pack for emergency power, but the CVR and FDR are not powerd by it. Can any of you aviation types confirm? From Reddit:
  3. ... and there are those bomberos from Mexico.
  4. Yeah roomie was on him hitting the ball before he could even get it pulled back to throw. That's not on Ewers imho.
  5. Yeah there was a guy on another board who was up in arms about the Malibu fire, saying there's no good reason for all those waterfront houses to burn, because there's all that water right there!!!!!1!1!!. Why can't they just pump water up from the ocean?' I had to explain to him that ... To which he responded "Well then they should have a system that uses the seawater for firefighting, and this whole 'salt water is hard on the pumps' thing is all a bit fuzzy". (seriously, he actually said that) So I explained that ... He was still skeptical. Yeah, I know ... shocking. This is only the beginning. Just as with Elon and Trump and some on this board talking ignorant, simplistic nonsense when it comes to the fires and firefighting, there are plenty of others out there who are sure they know better and aren't trying to hear rational explanations or anything realistic. Saying "This is simply a natural disaster" doesn't even move the needle. Not even a little bit.
  6. Yeah, about that ... Elon Musk? A fraud? Who could have seen that coming? More lying from Musk. This time claiming he’s one of the top 10 Diablo players in the world. This videos rips apart this assertion. I've never played any game like this one, so I don't know shit about it, but the way these guys describe it and expose his fraud is hilarious. Elon making crazy claims about his gamer status is sooooo on-brand. Why is Elmo such a pathological liar? A friend once told me something about Bobby Epstein at COTA that I believe applies to Elmo: 'He's a narcissist. He lies to get his way. He lies to get attention or to manipulate people. He lies when he doesn't need to lie. He even lies when he'd be better served by telling the truth. It's crazy'. Warning: NERDS! (but really awesome nerds)
  7. Wow. Elon's firefighting and wildfire knowledge on full display there. Impressive how little he knows. Or Incredulity lol.
  8. I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to IT shit/fuck, but that looks to me like maybe he doesn't know shit either, and is just throwing out nonsense to impress his fanbois who don't know shit either.
  9. The person doing the seating arrangements for the inauguration has their job cut out for 'em.
  10. Steve Bannon says Elon Musk is "racist" and "truly evil", vows to prove Daddy only loves me "take this guy down" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/12/steve-bannon-calls-elon-musk-racist The person doing the seating arrangements for the inauguration has their job cut out for 'em.
  11. Wow, what a great game. Robo looked like he was half asleep on that penalty shot, like he was half trying. Crazy.
  12. Yeah, forgot to post, but I saw some on tv who were already there either yesterday or the day before. Muchas gracias amigos!!!
  13. Just watching a live local LA news broadcast and a reporter said he had talked to a local professional drone pilot who's pissed off and is on a mission to track all the illegal drone flights into the fire area. I guess he can track their flights online or something. He said there have been at least 12 drones that have operated illegally there, and he's seen some of their videos they've posted online & bragged about. He also thinks he's pinned down which one struck the Canadian plane and thinks he has determined who the pilot is.
  14. I mean ... yeah some people are pretty over the top with this shit, but it's not like he's done nothing to warrant a massive amount of optimism. IMHO the 2 starts vs ULM and Miss St are meaningful, esp for his first and second starts ever. And for the season even in limited play, Arch has 9 pass TDs, 2 int, and 4 rush TDs.
  15. So from what I'm reading here and elsewhere, I guess this further suggests birdstrikes on both engines? Damn.
  16. Or a couple bags of Quikrete. Good as new!
  17. Yep. That's what I was telling my boys last night. There is no such connection. Some of the best and toughest firefighters I ever worked with were people that those folks would call 'DEI hires', and some of the weakest ones were not people who'd be termed DEI hires. Bottom line is that there are stronger FF and weaker FF in every subset.
  18. I got no problem with PK and what he's done with this D.
  19. Holy shit. I guess we just aren't gonna get a single holding call ... wow.
  20. JFC. Both dudes on the double team in the middle were holding ...
  21. Because "My team". Duh, stoopid lib nutjob! That's simply the only thing that matters to some folks ...
  22. So, apparently there is a signed doc from 1916 where the US officially recognized Danish interest in Greenland. Just saw on another board ...
  23. LOL. Dipshit's name checks out. Wasserman is, afaik, German for 'waterman'.
