    I’ve heard so many right wingers claim that Californians aren’t real americans, and yet here they are trying to shoot their way out of the consequences of large scale systemic failures.

        Unfortunately California is flipped. Which sucks because NorCal has awesome forests. Well for now at any rate.

      If you’re going to do that, may as well get Coleman first. They’re still gaslighting people.

      They are just on a war against Big Oxygen. They’ll stop lighting the gas after it’s finished.

      And even if that bullet traveled at escape velocity it would only end up in a slightly more eccentric orbit. If my mental model is right, they would have to wait until a bit after sunset and shoot straight up to send it in the right direction while encountering the least atmospheric drag.

      There’s more water in SoCal than Central Valley. And we can always Solar->Desalination. Unlike the poor bastards in Phoenix who are just going to run out in a few years.

        What? Source that SoCal has more than the San Joaquin…unless you mean they’ve already pumped way too much water out of the valley. Hell, there’s water piped from the Valley to L.A., so if SoCal has that much water they shouldn’t need Valley water?

          No, I got my geography screwed up. So I’ll just describe it from the map. There’s a line of hills/mountains east of LA and SD that scrape water out of the sky for the coast. On the East side it’s much drier but they’ve got farms all through there and a couple towns.

            I really don’t know where you’re getting your info. I grew up in CA and there’s no way SoCal gets more water of any kind unless it’s piped in. This precip map also proves that. The Sierras and Northern California get way more rain/snow than the San Gabriel or Bernardino mountains “scrape” out of the sky. The Sierras are a huge range compared to them, and when they do get snow, that water feeds into the lakes and rivers in the Valley. The precipitation map clearly shows SoCal can’t match any precipitation further up the state past Tehachapi.

              Yeah I was thinking about LA and SD compared to the area directly east of them. Which it strikes me now that both areas are SoCal.

            Nope. Just keep pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere by running our air conditioners 24/7. I’m sure it’ll be fine…

    Is SoCal short for Southern California or does it have to do with Southern Canada? I am from the rest of the world and I’m not familiar with these whatchacallits.

    [Edit] Well probably not Canada because there’s no L in that. I’m tired I guess.

        Also as a Canadian, I started the day with shorts but switched to pants before I left the house this evening and am wondering if I’ll need to switch the thermostat to heat instead of cool (because for some reason it can’t handle just having a range and heating or cooling as necessary to keep it within that range).

    Honestly, in my neck of SoCal, it’s the humidity as much as the heat. I keep going to bed in 80-90% humidity and waking up wet.
