Reservoirs are but one source of California's water. Groundwater is another. Whether recent rain has had time to percolate and recharge aquifers instead of running off remains to be seen.
Since Mythbusters proved that finding a needle in a haystack isn't that difficult, I propose that the term be changed to "finding a needle in the ionosphere." [Not applicable to orbital debris trackers...]
I see you're not familiar with Federal Code Title 49 Subtitle B Chapter V Part 571. In layman's terms that's Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards which regulate among other vehicle specifications the type, location, and angle of projection of headlamps, taillights, and especially High Mounted Stop Lights (the center brake lights on vehicles).
Personally I hope Ive models it after the Jaguar E-Type, making it beautiful within the bounds of federal restrictions and regulations, of course.
I agree wholeheartedly. It seems this device just creates more points of failure (e.g. lost/dead phone, urinary tract infections, interference, etc.) for a little convenience.
Self-cathing isn't that difficult once you get the hang of it.
HR Haldeman wasn't incredibly angry. I knew him and his family. One anecdote is that around 1990 Nixon was in Santa Barbara. Bob knew when Dick's motorcade would be passing by and walked to the end of his driveway and waved to Nixon as he passed. Time heals most wounds.
Bob did the prison time and Jo started a career to support the family. I've read Jo's unpublished autobiography. The saga was difficult for them—especially Peter, the youngest son—but they paid their dues and moved on.
In California, building codes are tightly integrated with fire code. For example, residential roofs cannot be entirely covered with solar panels because a firefighter may have to punch a hole in the roof to vent a fire.
Has anyone ever witnessed a glue lam beam burn? How would glue fasteners in a skyscraper perform in a fire? The relevant industry needs to conduct studies and show proof that it's safe.
Safety is a big bandwagon in the CA Leg., so plenty of good data would be needed to push innovation into building codes.
Based on my knowledge of how the CA State Fire Marshal works, it'll be 2040 or later for glue welds make it into CA building codes, if the tech proves to be viable.
Was this created using a new-age corporate bs buzzword generator? "Optinaut"? COOD (Control Our Own Destiny)? Oooh, better trademark that genius mantra!
How about sharing with the world how you've personally written letters of recommendation for each one or how much severance you're paying these 40 employees who were sooo vital to your, ahem, journey? Because if I was one of the laid off, this public "I'm not a bad guy—honest—it's not their fault" means nothing and helps no one.
I made a side trip to Wuppertal when I visited Köln because I'm a monorail enthusiast.
The system was amazing for its time and its safety per passenger-distance is quite good for rail.
It was full of schoolchildren heading home at a leisurely pace, suspended over the river.
I had forgotten that you have to disembark at the end station so that the cars can be manually pushed onto outbound rail. I got some puzzled looks when I didn't de-train right away.
