  1. Was some state agency in AZ responsible when 500,000+ acres burned in the Wallow fire back in 2011? Was some state agency in MT responsible when 1.2 million acres burned in 2012? Or 1.4 million in 2017? Milford Flat Fire, UT, 2007. 363,000+. Bad lightning! Bad! I don’t think you understand the problem here. You can piss on a bonfire all you want; that’s not putting it out. Now scale that up and you have the same thing. Water delivery after the fire starts isn’t putting these out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Their reservoirs are actually fine. That’s public information and easily retrieved. Many of them are at or well over their historical averages. https://cdec.water.ca.gov/resapp/RescondMain The problem is delivery volume and pressure. If 70% of hydrants in an area are in use you get terrible pressure. Hell, you can see a drop in pressure in my neighborhood on any summer night when 10% of the houses are watering their yards at 9pm. And, no amount of water that any human-made system can deliver is enough to extinguish one of these fires. There’s too much heat. Bulldozers and chainsaws. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Can you, or this person, explain how a dam will prevent wildfires? We have reservoirs all over CO. Big ones, small ones. There were a bunch right near a couple of fires that happened back in 2020. One of them was right next to Lake Granby, the third largest body of water in CO. Unfortunately, you can’t pump water uphill fast enough, and you can’t scoop it out in enough volume with an aircraft, to make much, if any, dent in a truly large fire. The most effective thing is a couple of big ass bulldozers and a bunch of dudes with chainsaws working behind them. Remove fuel, starve the fire, keep it from spreading. And, in the mountain west, there’s an unlimited supply of fuel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Allred and Pinto look like shells of themselves. Pinto in particular. He just doesn't have the same pop he did last year.
  5. Where did you ascertain that those people are illegal immigrants? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. About 1/3rd of the 1,500. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Good luck convincing a judge that a person convicted of battery on a police officer was somehow lured to the Capitol by Nancy Pelosi and that her emails hold the secret to this grand conspiracy. You’d have to demonstrate a real reason, not just, “Nancy Pelosi was Speaker when I slugged a cop in DC.” They have the right to try. It’s a civil matter, and has nothing to do with their pardon.

  8. Who was charged and convicted for that? Who would they sue? Given that these people were 12-0’d in a DC courtroom, you think they are going to win a civil case in DC, and NOT get countersued into oblivion? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Who would they sue? For what? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Brooks isn’t going to be an 86kg wrestler ever again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. To clarify: I’m not suggesting they did anything wrong, re: her death. The case is unsolved, nearly 30 years later. Beauty pageants for 6 year olds? That’s not good. Can’t convince me otherwise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. JonBenet Ramsey. I remember being in elementary school when that happened. The entire thing seemed wild to me. Who would dress their daughter up like that? Who would enter a kindergartner in a beauty pageant? Why do beauty pageants for 6 year old children exist? I’m not suggesting the parents did anything bad. But the entire concept grosses me out the older I get. And, I would never think of making my kids do anything like that (and that’s the thing: no 6 year old wakes up and says, “Yes, mama/daddy, please enter me in a contest where I dress up like … whatever that is … and I am evaluated on my appearance by grown ass adults.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I watched this match and this match only; did UNI not have a challenge left? I get that it was "early" in the dual but smoke 'em if you got 'em, Schwab.
  14. He’s a multiple time age group world champion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. First finalist for Penn State at 149. Connor Pierce beats OU’s McDougald, 4-3. His first ranked win, I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I guess my point is that I rarely see a 125 who isn’t doing terrible things to their body to make weight, and McHenry is a guy who looks like he weighs 115 soaking wet. That young man is a world class athlete and he’s giving up 15-20lbs to his competition. I’d have the same feelings about it if he were still at Michigan. Hell, Iowa too. Now, is he a statistical outlier? Absolutely. The entire world is getting bigger, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see 57kg go up to 59-60kg in the near future. So I understand why there isn’t a weight class that low. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I completely forgot about his move west. Hidlay is a class act and Stanford is lucky to have him. A very slight upgrade, then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I don’t think he’s been on in more than a year now. Which is probably for the best. I’m a big Cenzo fan but I’ll say that I have zip, zero, zilch problem with almost ANY grad student getting a bag to use their eligibility. Exception: Hendrickson. He’s a commissioned officer in the USAF. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Again: Brooks came closer to beating the gold medalist in his bracket than Lee did. I didn’t say that Brooks would have beaten Yazdan; I didn’t even mention his name until now. Also, if we take your statement literally, no, no one wrestled and beat everyone in their brackets. In their path to the final and the final, sure, they beat everyone, but no one went 15-0.

  20. I rarely think, “Man, this 5’5”, 132lb kid looks like a giant” but he made McHenry look tiny. Threw him around a couple of times but McHenry was too quick and too skilled overall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Brackets are a hard concept to understand, it seems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Kurt McHenry is the sole reason 114/115/118 should still exist. He’s so good, but so small. He’s killing a kid that looks like a 141/149 compared to a regular 125. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Why would they wrestle a fictional match that has no basis in the rules? I mean, why couldn’t they wrestle for true second, too, if we’re dealing in made up hypotheticals? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. He came closer to beating the gold medalist in his weight class than Lee did. He scored a takedown. Lee did not. Never came even close. Also, WTF are you talking about? True third? How is that relevant here? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. I imagine Cenzo would be a significant upgrade in training partners for Cardenas. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
