Asteroid passing overhead right now.
Went out to have a look as the current NASA stream is from an observatory 20km away, but it's a bit cloudy, apparently you need binoculars and I haven't got my contact lenses in. Still, kinda cool.

Those must be some bad ass contacts.Jaekus wrote:

I wish. I meant that without my contacts binoculars are a moot point; my myopia makes anything past a metre or so kinda blurry.

can someone go to this site

Why?
Also, nothing.

NYpost shut down their comment section then. The site is the only big news site I know that used the FB comment system. It is nice to see the person behind the stupid comments.
I find it annoying sometimes with political issues. Like people commending the Australian LNP, who are currently in opposition, bringing up a policy to spend $30 billion to build 100+ new dams in Australia to "combat' drought, flood and provide hydro electricity (without consulting any environmental, meteorology or dam experts). And then when someone comments with the logical rationale of "drought means the dam must always be full, floods means the dam needs to be empty, hydro-electricity means the dam always needs to be flowing. There's no way this can work in the manner they have presented" he gets shot down for it.
Probably because the only true part of your statement was that water always needs to flow to generate hyrdro-electricty.Jaekus wrote:

Probably because you can't focus on droughts and floods at the same time when the idea of managing both simultaneously in the same dam is like trying to gain muscle or lose fat; ie. you can't do both simultaneously. But I didn't expect you to know that.

Are you under the impression that the reservoir created by a dam is always either full or empty? Reservoirs tend to be vast, so vast that a single flood or drought event won't have much impact on volume. You wouldn't engineer the thing with only normal average weather patterns in mind, you engineer it for the extremes, big enough that it can mitigate a flood or feed droughted farms.Jaekus wrote:

You can't simultaneously engineer a dam for floods and drought. One situation requires the dam to be near empty, the other full. I'm surprised I have to explain this.

Drought requires a dam to remain as full as possible.Jay wrote:

Stop posting.
Floods require a dam to be empty in the event of flooding.
Australia has extremes in weather conditions. Recent floods are a tell-tale sign. Other parts of the country have been in drought. It's a hare-brained scheme by the LNP.
