  • Partially, yes. They allow Nestle to absorb a HUGE amount of their rationed water supply. Nestle doesn’t need to exist in California. It can exist in literally ANY state, most of which have no water shortages.

    I’m not saying it’s an instant fix. I’m not saying boot Nestle and you’ll not have fires. But what I am saying is they’d have a more efficient firefighting crew if they didn’t have to worry about water shortages as much.

    Another thing they just straight up shouldn’t allow is grass lawns in the part of California where the grass doesn’t naturally grow. There as some people, basically living in a desert, who import grass and use their rationing of water to maintain their unnatural grass lawn. And this isn’t the same as having a grass lawn that’s a little dry so you give it extra water. This is grass that just isn’t supposed to grow there, and CAN’T grow there…so they artificially enhance it’s ability to grow. If you’re grass can’t maintain itself using mostly just rain water, then it’s not in an environment where it should be living. That’s just depleting the already limited water rations. You don’t see Nevada trying to pretend they live in Michigan.




  • The thing about these devices is that during CES, you can’t trust ANYTHING you see/hear.

    I remember seeing “foldable tv’s” on TechTV back when they did their CES coverage in 1998. This at a time when CRTs were the norm. They brought a tv out which was super thin. And then this guy just folded it in half, and even folded in half the picture looked the same. Then he folded it the other way. And Leo asked him “Now, whats the use case for this?”

    And he said “Well, you could play multiplayer on your Nintendo 64. You could fold the TV so your little brother doesn’t cheat when you’re playing Mario 64 together”

    And at age 14, I remember yelling at my mom from across the house that the guy on TV didn’t know what he was talking about. And my mom yelled back “THAT’S OK! I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT EITHER!”

    And I yelled back “HE THINKS YOU CAN PLAY MARIO 64 IN MULTIPLAYER, AND FOLD THE TV IN HALF!”

    And she yelled “YOU’RE NOT FOLDING MY TV!!!”

    That’s when I realized I should just shut up. Mom has no idea what I’M talking about. CES guy has no idea what HE’S talking about. And Leo Laport was just looking confused.














  • I have a psvr, but only one company makes an app you can watch your own files on. And they charge $30 for the app.

    But then they say “no porn”.

    Well then I’m not buying your overpriced VR app!!! Why do you think I was even looking in the first place??? I was going to download some porn files in VR, and then watch it them through a usb stick in the ps4 on your app! But noooooooooooo. You hate money! Asshole!

    Sorry. Not you. I was talking to the app.
