All About Circuits: The Place for Politics.And the thread just got political
Politics is a world wide virus when more than one human is involved. No two humans agree on everything.All About Circuits: The Place for Politics.
I try to put an active effort into keeping my list as short as possible and so far my judgements have been pretty good. No one's been missed by me or anyone else for that matter.I have a little list,
of those who won't be missed.
And then there are two humans who can't agree on anything. We call them spouses.Politics is a world wide virus when more than one human is involved. No two humans agree on everything.
I think that to be a Mod here you have to pass a general pubic review and acceptance relating to your credibility knowledge and overall personality first of which .......... Well you know when you tend to give a fair number of people reasons to rate you at a negative value on a 0 - 3 score card. . .Maybe you should become a moderator so you can unilaterally -- and arbitrarily -- close threads that offend your sensibilities? It's the perfect job for an authoritarian.
Who is going to do this pubic review? And what will they specifically be looking for?I think that to be a Mod here you have to pass a general pubic review and acceptance...

I agree. I love my old water wasting shower head. The truth is that I am not really sure that it wastes that much water; with the "misters" as you call them, I have to spend more time in the shower to rinse out all the soap.Back to the original topic: My house was built in 1989, and I purchased it in 1999. I have refused to let my wife upgrade the bathrooms, solely because the law would require us to replace our awesome high-flow toilets with low-flow toilets. Sorry, but I like my business to disappear on the first try.
Likewise, my shower heads are a wondrous 100 gpm, or something. Much better than the light misters you must buy today.
I agree with your science but I think the devil is in the detail of time. Yes, the earth replenishes its fresh water above ground and below ground naturally, but in areas of high population concentration, I think we use it faster than the earth can replenish it. Read here about how El Paso, TX has been slowly running out of water for decades. They have nearly drained their aquifers and have had to face great engineering challenges to reclaim, get, and keep as much water as possible.Here in West Tennessee there is no shortage of water, but there is a question that I have been pondering for quite some time.
If I "waste" water, where does it go? Doesn't it ultimately wind up back in the aquifer where it came from? And if so, where is the waste?
Is water ever actually wasted, as in destroyed? I don't think so, but maybe I am wrong. It seems to me that water never is wasted. Maybe water is sometimes moved from where it is needed to somewhere else, but the water still exists doesn't it? So what was wasted wasn't the water, but rather the energy it takes to put more water back to replace what was moved.
Am I wrong?
You are a textbook example of the definition of the word "granola". Please don't offend us actual "dirty filthy capitalist pigs" by calling yourself one....Being that I am a "Dirty filthy capitalist pig"...
What does it mean tracecom?has had all the casing pulled, but I don't know why
It may be a colloquialism, but locally, the outer pipe (that lines the drilled hole) in a well is called the casing.What does it mean tracecom?
It could be in preparation for redrilling to greater depth or just some maintenance.It may be a colloquialism, but locally, the outer pipe (that lines the drilled hole) in a well is called the casing.
The article mentions Elephant Butte Reservoir. It's only 2 million acre feet. There's another reservoir downstream (Caballo) but they need far more surface storage to capture runoff from the flash flood producing storms that they get.I agree with your science but I think the devil is in the detail of time.
