Tourists only get to see 33% capacity of Falls. Rest is diverted. But your eye can't tell the difference because they have been diverting for so many years. They could make it so 100% is diverted, dry up the spillway (Falls) and run it all through the dam... But the difference is minimal and tourism brings in much more $$$$$. Betcha they are cranking out the power with no aesthetic constraints during daylight hours seeing how the Middle Three Lakes are extremely high water right now! Diverting the Falls is saving the Falls from eroding through the cap rock. If left unchecked, it would only be hundreds of years before the cap rock is gone.

@Gugny says you're in the process of being banned. Don't add to your long list of offensive posts... This will go on your permanent record!

Please don't tell my wife... She wants to be reincarnated as an olive tree. /smh Sorry Honey... We can't afford it! Where the hell do you find people with crazy ideas like that! ?

Whataya mean! You telling me I got duped into buying Jon Voight's LeBaron?

Nice! Cordeless I hope! Don't want those pesky do gooders wizzing by and getting tangled in your extension cord! Safety first!!!!

Calling Rapinoe out at this point of the game by the people with TDS is like... ? What a blast from past! "...Your pop caught you smoking, and he said, no way!That hypocrite smokes two packs a day..."

Thanks... I was trying to be subtle so as not to induce TDS: Trump Defender Syndrome.

People love what she's doing. People want this stuff, they vote for this stuff... It's called: Being a winner. [Hope your sarcasm antenna is fully extended] But... Really. It's obviously what people want. No?

And your point? She is just doing what works... Where do You think culturally as Americans We are learning this from. It's the new normal. We've crossed the Rubicon. There is no turning back, cherry picking. Our leaders set the tone... She is just following right along.

Hopefully He's NOT like this idiot:

People risk their lives even more everyday for much, much less. Grab 20-25 bills. That's a couple months work. Risk yourself for the man @ much less or choose free will? "There are those who think that life Has nothing left to chance A host of holy horrors To direct our aimless dance A planet of playthings We dance on the strings Of powers we cannot perceive The stars aren't aligned Or the gods are malign Blame is better to give than receive You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears And kindness that can kill I will choose a path that's clear I will choose free will There are those who think that They've been dealt a losing hand The cards were stacked against them They weren't born in Lotus-Land All preordained A prisoner in chains A victim of venomous fate Kicked in the face You can't pray for a place In heaven's unearthly estate You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears And kindness that can kill I will choose a path that's clear I will choose free will Each of us A cell of awareness Imperfect and incomplete Genetic blends With uncertain ends On a fortune hunt That's far too fleet You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears And kindness that can kill I will choose a path that's clear I will choose free will"

Oh, the irony. Monkey see, Monkey do. Wow... She's (M.Rapinoe) only doing what she sees to be the new norm. She is being led by example. Now, it is a bad thing?

5+ is strong... And strength goes up exponentially. Everybody knows the big ones are coming. Here is an interesting fact: "In the past 10 days, there have been 608 earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater centered nearby. An average of 25 earthquakes with magnitudes between 4.0 and 5.0 occur per year in California and Nevada, according to a recent three year data sample."

EDIT: FWIW... IIRC... @Kirby Jackson is near a pumping station, rebuilt canal that was reworked after Katrina and flows into the Pontchartrain... So he should be in good shape. It's like having a brand new sump pump!!! ??

"A bottle of white, a bottle of red Perhaps a bottle of rose instead We'll get a table near the street In our old familiar place You and I, face to face A bottle of red, a bottle of white It all depends upon your appetite I'll meet you any time you want In our Italian Restaurant..."

It looks like he's out of the probability become. As it gets nearer to the edges of the predicted cone, the % goes down. Even since Katrina, those cones that they put on the maps have become more and more accurate! Watch where this thing tracks. Save the old maps, they are almost spot on now! But... THEN again. We never landed on the moon... It was all done on a Hollywood set! /smh...

Most OF THESE cyclones (cyclone is just a low) form in tropics. They are tropical and go extratropical crossing over the Tropics of Cancer (& Capricorn). I take that this one just formed @ higher mid-latitude. It's an extratropical storm that forming. Like many that form high in the Gulf. No different than say a blizzard or snowstorm, Noreaster (double barrel lows up east coast). It's just extratropical turning into a hurricane. It is kinda strange since we expect the low to form in the tropics/low latitudes. They are all cyclones. They are just named where they get formed in what part of the world's tropics. Hurricanes=W.Hemi. Typhoon=cross the date line. Tropical cyclones=Indian Ocean.

One suck ass... Publicity *****! LoL... Wasn't me! LoL... Ooops... I spoke too late. ^^^^ Will they remember him when he's doing 61 in a 55? LMAO...

Was just gonna post that. Great minds think alike! Maybe I should just wait 6 years and start it's own thread in 2025:

So. If something flies off/outta my vehicle and someone takes it. I can claim they stole it? I agree... But a little situational awareness goes a long way of solving the safety issue. Just saying.

@Cripple Creek & @CountryCletus can't even get embryos right... You want them to secure the doors to an armored truck? Now... Asian carp. Waterways are tighter than a Nun! LoL... EDIT: WTF... Throwing down the gauntlet, might as well notify @BringBackFergy... Get this party started!!!

I am trying!

What the hell choice is #3 about... Why don't you just ask: "Are you mentally ######ed?" Question #3 is like giving money to a Nigerian phone scam! That's why I never leave home without my nets... Works just as well from any moving vehicle.

He was in Canadian waters. Fixed it for you.

You should see the mechanics on the waterways... Some, few have modern PLC's... Not many. We are still running fluid power tech from the WWII era... Same with the electrical circuits. Some stuff was so obsolete... Forced to at least push things to 1980s tech... Like our valves, gauges... LoL... Still kicking, but harder and harder to find parts. We just cracked into fresh selsyns for the dam... They were packed, stamped on canister: 1958!
