Chicago has food. We have amazing loving food, lots of excuses for being drunk in public, and some great breweries, but other than that, it's kind of a meh city with lovely weather. I'm from Cicero, so maybe I'm biased towards the suburbs that just kind of melt into the edges of Chicago Proper, but the outer burbs are really the worst, that whole region of affluent trash by 355 is unbearable. I lived in Indianhead Park for 2 years, and was so happy to head back to my city and experience culture again. Plus having all of those L stops close by is really nice SouthsideSaint posted:Hey now. Some of the dunes are still nice and southern Indiana has a few nice quiet towns. In Northeastern Indiana, I stopped at a gas station run by a man who I swear came straight from the Dust Bowl. Straw hat, overalls, scraggly white beard, very few teeth, constantly chewing tobacco, covered in dirt even though he was indoors, and talking in an accent I could barely understand. He was super nice and nothing was expensive, it just made me uneasy being handed change by what had to have been some sort of ghost

Indiana has the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is a great place to watch fast things. Just wish MotoGP still stopped there.

So everyone remember that 1HZ diesel in my mates landcruiser that cracked a piston and went all chugaluggy? Well... It blew up again! (Something something too much boost something something) and this time it did it properly! This time it let go in a spectacular run away and the tacho reads to 6000rpm and it was still accelerating past that. Pulled the head off this evening for shits and giggles...       Farewell #6! You died on the fury road shiny and chrome!

That's an impressive failure. Looks like it blowtorched that channel through the piston.

Gotta keep in mind that this is a 22:1 CR indirect injection diesel- minimum compression pressure is 450psi... That much pressure going into the crank case is going to do some funky things to oil flow!

It won't be 450psi after expanding past the piston rings, but it could definitely push oil from the breather into the intake.

True. Im pretty sure the best description of what happened immediately after that crack formed in the piston was "Gratuitous Violence"

xzzy posted:Don't worry, you won't be alive to see it actually disappear. It would take 40 meters of sea level rise to fully submerge Florida, and estimates put us at something like 60 centimeters by 2100. If I'm reading this right, Death Valley will suddenly fill with seawater any second now.

Yeah, that's the problem with assuming sea level rise will affect everywhere equally. There are proper studies if you're the sort of person who has to care about this stuff for a living, but as long as you stick to the coasts (and ignore anomalies like the Netherlands) it's reasonably accurate.

There are also places where it’s kind of accurate, in that water can travel up river valleys to flood low‐lying areas well inland, but as a practical matter, the cost/benefit of putting barriers at a few openings is immense, so they’re not in nearly as much trouble as coastal areas, where 1 km of sea wall only saves 1 km of waterfront property. For example, we’re probably not going to let the Rio Grande flood half of Texas. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Sep 9, 2016 |

Assuming everyone migrates to the nearest big city, Dallas will probably draw in so much stupid that it reaches critical mass and turns into what we saw in Idiocracy. Austin will suffer for it too.

I wonder if flood insurance underwriters have had the foresight to write in exclusion clauses for climate change induced sea level rise. I'm guessing if your house gets permanently flooded by rising seas your flood insurance carrier is going to weasel out of paying a claim somehow.

I suspect so many states are reticent to acknowledge climate change as by doing so, they will drastically alter their most wealthy tax base with waterfront property. If they show they believe many million dollar properties are eventually going to be worthless along with the land they sit on, they will be forced to find alternate revenue. No one wants to eat that poo poo sandwich yet. Rich folks can also afford to sue.

We have enough stupid here already. Serious talk though, the Dallas Morning News ran an article about the population growth yesterday or the day before. We're expected to add around 3M people to the metroplex over the next decade. That's not counting effects of, say, Houston, suddenly becoming Atlantis.

Platystemon posted:It is according to the map at the top of this page, unless its scale is retarded. The map I posted shows where the geology allows for the infiltration of seawater from increased storm surge and rising sea levels, due to porous sandstone and limestone close to the surface. The sandstone (yellow) will only allow infiltration but the limestone (blue) will experience infiltration as well as dissolution, meaning sinkholes will open as well as the water table rising.
