I can assure you there is plenty of water. There are floods in lots of places every year. The oceans are full of water that for just 5kWh we can desalinate 250 gallons.

The problem is that the water and energy aren't where the users want it to be.

But pipes are relatively cheap - if humanity cared enough, we could build pipes to distribute the plentiful water everywhere.

But it turns out the people without much water tend to be in very poor places and warzones where there isn't much appetite for spending money on pipes.

Sorry but you have not done the math on the energy costs too pump water from the ocean.

Why on earth is this the top post?

This might be a good time to recommend you all read the first 5 pages of East of Eden by George Steinbeck. It’s about how the Salinas valley goes through flood and draught cycles, and how every time they’re in one cycle they forget the other one ever happened

At least in Alsace we sometime use "service" as a "you're welcome" equivalent instead of the more widespread "de rien", or "avec plaisir" you will ear in France.

I hear 'servus' used frequently in southern Germany, it seems like a greeting. Interesting.

Nah, not really. Thats what the polarizing media would have you believe…. But guns are everywhere in the USA.

The Venn between 'sees footage of ICE and still wants to recruit' and 'gun owner' overlaps a lot more than the former and non-gun owners.

I'm a gun owner and think it's abhorrent, but c'mon: who do you think is stepping up to the plate right now?

Exactly what is it about CO2, a plant food, that scares you so much? You do realize that green plants react to increased CO2 percentage with stronger growth?

You're the one calling me a "doomer"?

Where do i even begin to respond to this?

Plants growing slightly faster does not mitigate the many consequences of increased CO2.

Didn’t help that he showed up at his first couple Senate meetings gloating about winning the election. And tried to set working hours for his former colleagues. Among other things.

Gloating? Oh no! We should impeach him!

I wouldn't want to haul 3 yards of dirt/mulch in a van, or yard refuse. I wouldn't want to try and move a full-sized fridge in a van, or a queen bed box spring, neither will fit.

I can't fit an ATV in a van, and I really don't want to put a dead deer in the back of a van after I hunt one.

I wouldn't trust a van to haul 75 8x8x16 concrete bricks (over 2000 lbs/1100kg) because the suspension wasn't designed to do that, nor was the transmission, and the van will quickly deteriorate.

How about moving a couch? Fits in the truck, not in a van.

I did all of those things in the past 12 months.

All that being said, vans are great, especially with kids. They absolutely do not replace trucks... if you use the truck and don't mind getting it dirty. Shiny trucks with 5.5ft beds are fucking stupid. My kids all laugh at "trucks with a baby bed" these days.

Or, downthread, people just assume everyone with a truck is insecure, projecting wealth, and generally ignorant. Which ironically, is a very ignorant take.

You don't actually do anything of those things though, if youre the average US pickup truck owner
