'cul-de-sac'

That always throws people off. /s

The ironic thing is that a cul-de-sac is supposed to limit traffic on the street.

Looks like it does not limit traffic through your house.

'doesn’t matter how short term the fatigue was, it matters how excessive the load was during the fatigue'

Sure. But, the fatigue and weakening of the metal wouldn't be universal like on the buildings. The buildings had a uniform displacement of loss and strength, any displacement of strength would tend to prove a disaster, ie weak side of building collapses, it didn't.

This is more reasonable than the heating of the interior metal beams and would collaborate many of the first responders seeing the melted steel.

Heh. No doubt the moon rock was merely there to weigh down a birth certificate.

'it was God who kept the plane from plowing into the grandstand.'

What? He kept it from plowing into the grandstand, but couldn't or didn't want to move it away from the ten killed and others injured?

Note to the police state, ‘kill’ is a term I used for win election.

Warrren is running as a populist Dem. She will kill Sen. Brown.

LOl. I did a quick Google search for that town. The funny thing was, the last hit on page 1, was for Palestine to get their own state. WTF! Stupid google, indiana and flood brings that up? Yeah, no politics.

'Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? '

Dang. We support AQ in Libya.

'But on the other hand what about those floods that have been caused by the Corps of Engineers'

They are still living next to a river! What do they expect? If you live in an area that has a history of flooding. You assume the risk.

It is the height of hubris to assume that man can control mother nature. And anyone who takes that belief will suffer from it.

US Realtors push for continued use of the National Flood Insurance Program.

Joy.

Lol. Look out all those socialist. /s

I suspect thats what happened. It’s just sad that where the dog was shot wasn’t mentioned.

Heh. That one around Bastrop was big, 14ft, but yeah. I’ve read reports circa 1840’s where soldiers and settlers would eat them when found.

The article is short on facts. Was the cops in her yard? Or did she just let the dogs out of her house into the street to piss?

If the latter, who just lets their dogs run outside into the street?

I'm not defending the cops, just irresponsible for the presumed owner to have no care to others and especially the actions of their dogs.

Believe it or not. Alligators were once found West of San Antonio.

Yes, many a time.

They are found[rare] in East Texas. I've seen some mounts of them taken by poachers at some of the Gane Warden displays.

Chinese solar companies are taking a number on the Germans. I can see part of their abilities. Cheap labor and low pollution standards.

German Solar Firms Eclipsed by Chinese Rivals

'Green energy used to be Germany's great hope for its economic future. But now the German solar industry is in trouble amid huge losses, job cuts and the threat of bankruptcies. Chinese firms are gaining an ever greater share of the German market -- and are benefiting from German subsidies for renewable energy.'
