I still blame Nader for splitting the Democratic ticket in the 2000 election, causing America to be handed over to George W Bush.

Replace “Haiti” with “Arizona” and the message is essentially the same.

Because money. Texas is a big oil producing state and guess what is a major contributor to climate change? The theory is if you don’t teach kids the correlation they will think oil is good.

Even the Blue Lagoon was closed as a precaution.

Again, so many postings of the same article by OP. Pick the most appropriate community and stick with it please.

Really unnecessary for OP to post this on multiple communities. I’ve seen this article four times now.

Hello!! Loving what I see so far!! Question: Is there any way you can create folders to organize communities into? Thanx

I had to read the whole article to get to this info: Depending on what Chrome version you’re using, and whether you’ve been selected to start using Topics API, you can switch this functionality off and on by visiting chrome://settings/adPrivacy and/or chrome://settings/privacySandbox – cut’n’paste these URLs into your address bar to jump straight to the controls.

With the tree, I was thinking along the lines of termites and/or other bugs.

What a rigamarole! I didn’t even think that far into it! It just looked like a bad idea, and you gave a good explanation why. I’m also pretty sure having a full-sized dead tree in the house isn’t the best idea either. I bet this house looked good on paper…

Reminds me an Indiana Jones ride where a hologram of a boulder rolls toward you.

I had to read the article to make sure this wasn’t old news. Yup, this is a second candidate that just got shot.

The problem is that it’s expensive everywhere. There is no “Plan (or city) B” anymore.

About time.

I live here. 115F with full sun feels worse than 115F with cloud cover.

This was awesome! I got so invested in the story! You landed on a goldmine with this one!

I went in for seconds and landed here: http://firedrake.org/roger/csarchive/universe/states.htm This is sooo cool and I don’t even know what it is! Has anyone heard of Crimson Skies computer game??

Its premise seems to be that America failed. The link took me to the write-ups of what happened to the states. Example: “Montana and Wyoming have largely fragmented. All government is local, and the locals seem determined to keep it that way. The population is completely disgusted with national government and aims to show that local government can perform far better than any distant bureaucracy. Portions of Wyoming and Montana have been claimed by other states, but by and large this is the most lawless and best armed stretch of the West.”
Another: “The bulk of Nevada is desert, not even worth the effort of laying claim to. Most of the inhabitants southeast of the Sierra Nevadas are desert air pirates, scrub ranchers, and rattlesnakes.”

Not gonna lie…it got me at Air Pirates!

I decided to look up a little history: https://history-computer.com/web-1-0/

It sent me to someone’s obituary.
