Hoover dam to reach deadpool by end of year due to dam failure from lack of water causing unforeseen problems in structural stability, leading to unregulated water release of remaining pool.

Great example of it not mattering how many books one has read, how educated, or how intelligent one is. Some people are just LIFETIME morons.quote:in the meantime, sex pests get executed. bad for morale. What is bad for morale is a socially stunted moron who thinks having a public discussion on the amorality of enjoyment of pedophilia is warranted in the climate change thread. The fact that this dude is so far up his own rear end that he thought that posting this poo poo was going to get any kind of positive reaction is not just comical, it is a cause for concern. Permaban.

Karach posted:Looks like Grandma gets no respite in 2022 The Goddess of Firenados got the east side of the river last year, she's back for the west side this time. She might also take out the rebuilding on the east side. Some of the residents sound like they're suffering from PTSD. Or maybe it's pre-Post. I dunno, PTSD in real time? Apparently getting repeatedly burnt out is also bad for morale. Who knew? Okay, Scotland running out of water?? Looks like this is the outer islands and not the mainland? I would guess those western islands are basically bare chunks of rock dependent on shallow pools being regularly replenished.

When I was a kid doing the tour of Hoover Dam I remember the tour guide mentioning that the water in the reservoir was vital to maintaining the structural stability of the whole thing, and if the water gets too low it would collapse. This might be apocryphal since I can't really verify on google, but structural failures caused by low water and/or massive landslides seems possible. A failure on the Glen Canyon dam would lead to an impressive bath for the Grand Canyon, that would be some amazing content. The projections and modeling on these rivers looks like it is just a reversion to the mean, the people in charge are just assuming things get back to normal over the course of a couple years. Here's hoping!

is it possible for the current firestorms the world has been having to have one eventually wipe out a world city? or would human firefighting efforts always be enough to say, prevent LA from burning to the ground? As institutions crumble, I’ve found myself wondering…

As institutions crumble, I’ve found myself wondering… Human firefighting efforts can almost certainly save major cities. For now. The biggest fires are crown fires in forests - which have lots of overlapping, close packed, dry fuel in the form of trees and their canopies. Human buildings are always separated with natural firebreaks between them - roads and parking lots. This is why fires seem to run out of momentum really fast once they hit defendable towns. Also, most massive fires take place in undeveloped areas with lots of steep hills and valleys which badly restricts firefighter mobility, deployable numbers, and causes issues keeping everyone supplied with fuel and water and such. Major cities, as yet, have an effectively unlimited manpower, water, and fuel supply to fight fires with on top of massive transportation lanes allowing for extreme mobility by defenders. Cities like LA burn when those factors are obviated. Smaller towns can still get obliterated due to not having the depth to fight in or losing crucial parts of their defense.
