Kenning posted:Is growing food WASTING WATER? I've driven the 5, Marin to San Diego, about 15 times during COVID. Your posts speak to me. More than the thin blue line decals on the trucks I zip past at 89MPH. Aeka 2.0 posted:Slower traffic keep right, yall. But make sure when you're passing a truck that you slow down to 63 for some reason, and hopefully you're passing 2 trucks but then the 2nd trucker hits their signal and decides to pass too.

My favorite move is when I'm passing a semi and trying to leave the driver enough room before I get over and some rear end in a top hat tries to shoot the gap before I get back in the slow lane. That always gets a (index) finger-wag from me.

Given a choice between the 5 hours i drove down the 5 vs the 12 when I drove to Idaho this past month I'd take the latter every day of the week. That road is a nightmare. It's bumper to bumper 100mph traffic that goes down to 0 the second you relax for 5-6 hours.

Once I took a work trip to San Diego in a Ford Transit van. There was a bright red Dodge Charger driving like a complete rear end in a top hat that I watched in my mirrors for a bit weaving in and out of traffic. I managed to keep him bottled up behind me for like 2 solid hours between Buttonwillow and Santa Nella by just keeping pace with traffic so every time he tried to pass me on the right until he ran out of space before he caught up with the next semi. I was doing 75+ the entire ride, but I like to think he was foaming at the mouth the entire time. Probably shaved 15 minutes off my drive too.

Gee maybe we should stick a high speed rail line along that route that is dangerous, boring, takes a long time, and everyone seems to hate.

Alec Eiffel posted:How guilty should I feel whenever I fill my son’s cheap plastic pool? I cover it and the water is usually good for three sessions, but in my mind I’m absolutely killing someone by using water for bullshit in a drought. I’m an LA county resident. You probably shouldn't feel too bad but it does depend on where your water comes from, because CA water doesn't teleport from one magic giant bucket and your water may be a source that isn't ultimately connected to larger agriculture use. Being in LA County doesn't necessarily mean your water isn't mostly coming from local wells.

Sydin posted:Every acre of almonds grown consumes roughly 4.48 acre feet, or 1.46 million gallons of water per growing season. There were roughly 1.6 Million acres of almonds planted in California as of 2020, which would put total water usage per growing season at 2.3 TRILLION GALLONS. And that's just almonds, California grows a shitload of water intensive crop and also supports a huge volume of pasture land for raising cattle, which also sucks up huge quantities of water. If you want to get really depressed about water in California and the west, Cadillac Desert is a great book on this subject.

Jaxyon posted:Gee maybe we should stick a high speed rail line along that route that is dangerous, boring, takes a long time, and everyone seems to hate. Integrating the 5-6 million people who live along the 99 corridor with the coastal population centers is an important benefit of a statewide rail system, and simply taking HSR down the 5 to link San Jose and Los Angeles would reinforce structural inequality in a state that already has plenty of it.

I've had normally intelligent people in this town tell me that its literally physically beyond the ability of modern engineering to build a high speed rail line in CA. Like "Its so hot everything would flex and it will never work!" I do not understand the brain-blindness people have for HSR.

So wait you're arguing that a better link between those population centers and the coast with an improved rail system is somehow bad for structural inequality? You know that the big complaint of the coastals about HSR the fact that it actually does connect those areas instead of bypassing them altogether, right?

I was responding to this postJaxyon posted:Gee maybe we should stick a high speed rail line along that route that is dangerous, boring, takes a long time, and everyone seems to hate. which, following a discussion of how the 5 is a nightmare road, seemed to suggest that an HSR route down the 5 was the ideal route, which would bypass essentially the entire Central Valley. This is an argument I've heard by lots of people in the Bay who whine about the route going down the 99 corridor instead. If that wasn't your argument I apologize for the misunderstanding. I think an HSR route that connects the Bay to L.A. while bypassing the Valley would reinforce structural inequality, but it seems we agree on that point.
