We just had record rainfall last week and for Nocal they are officially out of the 5 year drought. Our local mountains received 1 foot of powder thursday and everyone is flocking to the mountains to ski n snowboard. Socal still in drought though
I "may" wash my car today as it looks no rain for a week. *crossing fingers*
So your half of the state is in a drought but you're hoping it stays dry so your car won't get dirty?
It's nice enough here (a relative term of course) I actually let my Mustang out the last two days.

My outdoor thermometer is currently showing 3.1 degrees (F). At the ski hill, some 4,000 feet up from where I am, it is currently 27 degrees. Inversions are wondrous things.

The higher you are the closer you are to the sun, so obviously it's going to be warmer.

As we prepare for the third winter storm warning that I've seen in the 15 years I've lived in this valley, and the third that I've seen in the last month, I'm kind of liking the fact that I have a Subaru with good snow tires.
For a place so dependent on the winter snow pack, this is a mixed blessing. Snow in the mountains is great. Snow down in the valleys, in such amazing quantities....I'm getting tired.
On the other hand, there's been a large increase in car parts along the roads. It's mostly shields of one sort or another that people have ripped off on the ice ridges, but there have been some larger pieces, too.
This morning I saw a car that looked like the driver had tried to parallel park, but only got the nose into the space and then gave up and left it like that. They may have been stuck, as I could barely walk on the road where the car was, but the back end was sticking right out into traffic.
A herd of some 500 antelope were seen attempting to cross a frozen lake by the Snake River. A few hundred made it across, a few hundred turned back, and about four dozen ended up sprawled out on the ice, unable to do anything but flail around. When a rescue effort was mounted in the morning, it was found that a previous rescue party of coyotes had managed to rescue pieces of about 10 of the animals, while about a dozen had managed to self-rescue during the night. About six were then rescued by Fish and Game, and the rest were found to have broken or dislocated limbs. Those animals were put down and donated to needy families.
O give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
And the deer and the antelope....are sprawled out on the ice like flailing lunatics.
Those animals were put down and donated to needy families.
Hope those needy families know how to butcher an antelope. Or did you mean the meat was donated?

Hate to get in the middle of this Mustang fest - some of us are Chevy people!

Too bad there's no Firebird equivalent to the Camaro... I might have considered buying one.

I don't know. I would assume that the meat was donated, but it may well be more complex than that. Finding somebody around here who knows how to butcher an antelope wouldn't be hard to do, so it may well be that the whole animals were donated. Especially considering that they were effectively killed in the freezer.

Is space dark? Why? If there is nothing blocking the sun, then why isn't it brighter than during the day hours on this planet? Seem like it should be very bright in space, not dark.
Better, in my experience. I've never liked the taste of deer. I think they should be crossed with cows, so that we could have deef...or, I suppose, you might just end up with beer. That would be popular.

because how would anyone sleep before curtains were to be invented? We would all have gone mad and killed one another. At which point, dark or light wouldn't matter, because no-one would be there to not see the light.

A blacked out Camaro would make a good basis for The New Knight Rider.

Something like this KITT car?
This was my first "new" car - a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am. I had totaled a 1978 Z-28 Camaro on a icy February day in 1982 - I ordered this a few weeks later.
NO BIRD on the hood - I ordered it without that decal.

My brother is a Chevy guy and he has an '87 IROC z28 that is blue with T-Tops with a big block. When he used to drive it daily, you could definitely tell when he drove up in the driveway.
Just let Pontiac and its screaming chicken rest in peace.

They have a live feed of a man threating to jump off of a bridge in New Orleans right now on FaceBook. I am not typically for censorship, but this seems like something that should not be accessible to 10 year olds this easily... Why would FaceBook allow this?
I don't do any social media things, like twitter or facebook, etc... but it seems to me if there are millions of users posting, it would be quite a bottleneck to try to physically have employees that monitor every feed all the time.
Do they provide a feedback mechanism so that users can raise awareness to some moderator that could have the authority to censor a feed?
How do you become aware of such a feed to begin with? Since I don't do social media, perhaps these are naive questions.
I found it because one of my friends shared the live feed. If you report it then what happens is that it takes a good while for someone to review it and judge whether or not it should be taken down, which since there is no violence in the video(yet) I doubt that it would be removed.
