Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Emphasis on "had"...

 

Now it will be even faster because it looks like it lost a lot of weight there.

Why straight? The shortest distance between two points..... Shortest distance = Cheapest distance to build.

Just saying

 

Different scale, and different type of dam. Gravity dams are mostly straight. Example Grand Coulee Dam in WA state: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Coulee_Dam



Note the Hoover Dam is incapable of releasing water. (Water flows through tunnels cut into the canyon walls.) Probably because designing holes in the dam would disrupt the arch shape and fail.

 

According to this site. The Hoover dam does have spillways, just not what we normally see.
https://www.usbr.gov/lc/hooverdam/h...spillway has four steel,long and 16 feet high.

 

The spillway is east of the dam and goes into a tunnel cut into the canyon wall: https://goo.gl/maps/NHFGKizEbYSyizTg6 The dam itself is incapable of releasing water.

 

Interesting - good research. I've been to the Grand Coulee when I lived in Spokane. It's BIG. Lake Roosevelt behind it is calm. The new generators are enormous - it's a pretty cool tour.

In comparison, the Yangtze River is a mean bitch, and has been fucking China up since before mankind walked the earth.

 

Keeping the FDA link for future reference: https://www.fda.gov/food/ingredient...ation/food-defect-levels-handbook#commodities

Does it mean Chinese street food isn't FDA compliant?

 

There's an episode of "Richard Hammond's big" that's about Austria's mega dam. It's damn cool

Probably good for boiling wieners and simmering brats.

 

^^^This

Trying to tame that river is pretty arrogant.

 

I remember the Bay Bridge fiasco, a perfect example of why you don't go with the lowest bid steel. This is why I believe that huge 'engineering marvel' in China is going to fail in holding back a river the magnitude of the Yangtze.

 

China isnt known for safety...they just replace with people...

 

Preferably with number one sons.

 

Well, with a population of 1.4 Billion, their government probably isn't even gonna notice if a few million of them get washed away.
