  1. In a unanimous decision, mind you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I didn’t say that anyone pays more. The claim I contradicted was that Californians pay (present tense) trillions in taxes; they don’t. But, if you are so inclined, you can look up per-capita state and federal taxes. It’s all out there. I’m guessing DC and NY pay more state tax income tax on a per-capita basis but, again, just a guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Deflect… with facts? Everything you said above was a lie or half-truth. Hell, you can’t stop lying even now. Californians don’t pay (present tense) trillions in taxes. In 2023, they paid 220 billion in state and 507 billion in federal taxes. That’s not even one trillion, let alone several trillions. All of this stuff is easily looked up if you have any passing interest in the truth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Because you insist on continually opening your trap and acting like the fool we know you to be: 1) The overall FD budget increased. 2) Eminent domain cases take a long time. Look those words up. 3) There are a half dozen other reservoirs that supply water to this area. Those reservoirs are above their historical averages. Overall supply was not an issue. Local pressure at hydrants was the problem. But, this is well beyond your ability to comprehend, so I’ll move on. 4) CAL FIRE’s budget has grown every year since 2019. From $2.5 billion, with 7,100 personnel to $4.2 billion and 12,511 personnel in 2024-2025. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. It tells them the standard DOJ policy is to not pursue crimes against a sitting president, and that’s it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I don't think running camps in OK and commutting to OH for RTC practices are mutually exclusive, are they? Might be a bit rough on his health and well being, sure, but one doesn't preclude the other, right?
  7. If you turn on all of the fire hydrants, some of them aren't going to have water. Over a large enough network, with enough open valves, no matter how much water you have feeding it, you will run out of pressure. The end. Turns out, when you have fire spread out over an area that large, you meet those conditions. You can do the same thing with your household irrigation system, at a much smaller scale. Now, if you're suggesting that the civil engineering standards should be updated to meet newer threats and resultant requirements, sure, I'd agree with you. But the water delivery system is not "bad"; it's built to a known standard that is, for lack of a better term, outdated. But that's still the standard.
  8. Stick to wrestling, you bum.
  9. Elon inserts himself the situation. It doesn't go according to plan. And pretty much debunks all of the idiocy on this thread.
  10. He just wrestled at 157 against Rutgers, FWIW. Won 3-2 against Harer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. They? The state? The state is supposed to do maintenance on privately owned property? They are supposed to clean up brush on property owned by the power company and private citizens? I’m genuinely confused here. You want the state to be responsible for maintaining private property owned by corporations and homeowners? Seriously? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. What is “fire season” in CA? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. So, should they not do maintenance? Should they let all of the reservoirs fall into disrepair, so none of them can deliver water, for any purpose? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Power company easements on private property. Right of way below the power lines. Homes on private property. Is the state responsible for those? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. 1) They plan maintenance years in advance. 2) Santa Ana winds can happen in any month. 3) This reservoir being empty didn’t change the availability of water for firefighting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Davis/Bartlett vs Masanosuke Ono? I'm mostly joking but...
  17. Man, if only there was some way for the public to confirm or deny what the echo chamber was telling them about the status of their reservoirs… https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov Or they could just continue being ignorant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. It’s odd how often you post things that are wildly inaccurate, that you’ve failed to do any kind of fact checking on, and then you refuse to admit that you were wrong. Given your penchant for posting things from absolutely trash sources, maybe you DO mean to mislead? Have you ever stopped and thought about the fact that you are actively curating your own “news” feed via Twitter, and that there’s a lot of made up bull*I poop my pants, don't laugh at me* on it?

  19. PG&E, for starters. The water delivery system exceeds national civil engineering standards. Unfortunately, they don’t account for current conditions (fuel, wind). And, they have plenty of water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. There will be a 141 kid at another B1G school who might have a decent chance of snatching that crown in the next two seasons. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Why? Their last dual started at 285. Nebby-Goofers started at 157 last night. Taylor, Minto and Pinto were 1-2-3 for them. Won all three, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. In his defense, his guys are getting better reps in their own room than they would at 95%+ of duals. Aside from adding OSU, who they’d have a good chance of blanking, they can’t get a much harder schedule. There are very few schools predicted to win 1, let alone 2, matches against them.

  23. Noel Francisco is the former Solicitor General of the United States. I can’t believe that he actually argued that the US doesn’t have a compelling argument to prevent the spread of Chinese propaganda (or the surveillance of US citizens by them). I get that he’s in private practice now, but dude, come on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. In a surprise to no one, TikTok would rather vanish like a fart in the wind instead of coming under non-CCP control. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. I'm well aware. I went to grad school with one, and worked with him a couple years later, a couple thousand miles away, as well. Generally speaking, though, they aren't going to school to pursue athletic goals; they are getting an advanced technical degree that has value to the USAF, like my friend who used automatic object recognition and GIS to develop tools to detect buildings damaged by hurricanes and earthquakes. He had a much stricter timeline than anyone else and defended his thesis after three semesters. Departed for his next duty station before fall semester graduation.
