Probably not, but you still gotta get in it with a ladder.

 

Nah all those girls that get in bro dozers dont need ladders

 

While I'm not privy to their internal bookkeeping, I highly doubt it.

People are just freaking the hell out because the stock took a small dive the last couple days after Elon smokes a doob on a radio show.

Now, did the stock take a dive because people are freaking out, or are people freaking out because the stock took a dive... ?? Convos to have with Elon as he's high AF.

 

jesus man, could you not find a bigger pic?

 

So he smoked some weed, BFD. It’s legal in California, and he’s an of-age adult. People are overreacting.

 

No tremors

 

Yet

 

Better call team America

 

More like Burt

 

Look at all these overland points

 

Yes, but maybe not the way you'd think. It's more about having to drill deeper and pump from deeper, older water. The deeper you go, the more saline it becomes (millions of years ago it used to be ocean water). There was a farmer I talked to a few years ago who spent like a few million bucks to drill some new (deeper) wells. He said several of them went dry within a year.

The main impacts, really, are infrastructure. Canals, roads, bridges, gas lines, railroads, etc...

For canals: Canals are designed with a VERY specific slope (water only goes downhill, lol), and when you have an area that subsides, part of that canal now is steeper (water goes faster), and the other side is now shallow, or in many cases goes UP hill. This basically causes a bottleneck effect on the water trying to make its way downstream.

There's a thing called freeboard, which is the space between the water in a canal/river, and a bridge over the top. There are places along the California Aqueduct that you used to be able to kayak under, but now they've had to build special walls on bridges so the water doesn't flow OVER the bridge. Basically, the water stays the same elevation, and the bridge/canal is sinking around it.

The end result is that the canals can't push as much water as they were designed. Some canals have lost 50% of their capacity to move water.

 

Well I got the city job, if I can pass a drug test anyway

 

That at4 patch was on pre order for so long and was like 50$

 

Actually, that's different. Sink holes are a localized phenomena. Subsidence is similar, in that the ground is sinking, but it's more of a regional thing, and you don't typically get huge holes that open up. It's actually hard to directly "see" evidence of subsidence by standing in one spot.

You do sometimes get cracking that happens around the perimeter of a zone of subsidence. Think of it like a large rubber sheet. When you pull down on the center of the sheet, you stretch the perimeter inwards, more horizontally. So cracks can form from that stretching.

 

ya think?

lol

 

Which drugs do they give you for the test?

 

This is gunna be him

 

All of them

 

Sounds like fun
