My entire family/extended family had norovirus over Christmas. It was rough. There were a couple times where I’d just barely manage to finish spraying out the back end, flush, and it would come out the top. Went through a lot of Saltines that week. I was the last to catch it; my nearly two year old was patient zero, then the four year old and wife, and two days after they’d completely recovered, me. Had the pray-n-spray, then a bad fever for 12-16 hours after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I open all of the fire hydrants in your neighborhood, some of them are going to have no water; pressure is not unlimited. Is this a new concept to you? Also, a firehose aimed at a large scale wildfire is like pissing on a bonfire. It's not going to stop anything. As a person new to the mountain west, you have a lot of learning to do about fires, root causes and human responses.

I actually didn’t offer a solution. Unfortunately, unless you can change the ecology of a land that is designed to burn (I.e., every state west of Texas), you’re going to have big fires. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The East Troublesome Fire burned along the western shore of Grand Lake, the third largest body of water in Colorado. 193,000 acres. The presence of a giant body of water nearby didn’t help, other than preventing it from spreading southeast by creating a firebreak. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Troublesome_Fire https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Lake_(Colorado) Unless you can somehow transfer reservoir water into rain clouds, you’re still going to have an unlimited amount of dry fuel. You can’t pump water fast enough. Pissing on a bonfire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. How would that additional water help? As I showed, many reservoirs are in great shape. Water volume is not the problem. Delivery is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My BIL’s parents’ house is up in Drake, near Estes Park. Cameron Peak fire came within 200m of their house. If it had jumped the creek, his dad would’ve bought the farm. His neighbor just started keeping goats for this purpose. He’s about to get one himself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

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

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

Allred and Pinto look like shells of themselves. Pinto in particular. He just doesn't have the same pop he did last year.

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.

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

Who would they sue? For what? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

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

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.
