Ghengis Kahn did have a river rerouted over his grave in the 1200s. Only Mongols can tell rivers what to do?

The Hoover dam is not in the Midwest. Not all dams are equal. When Hoover breaks, if human civilization lasts that long, it will be half the age of agriculture. We're certainly telling it "make a lake right here" and its doing it.

Rivers Rerouted by Humans:

1️⃣ Chicago River (USA)

Year: 1900

What: Reversed flow away from Lake Michigan using canals to prevent sewage contamination of drinking water.

2️⃣ Yellow River (China)

Rerouted multiple times over millennia by humans (dikes, canals) and floods, including major diversion for irrigation during Ming and Qing dynasties.

3️⃣ Colorado River (USA/Mexico)

Diverted heavily for irrigation and urban use (Hoover Dam, All-American Canal, etc.), resulting in the river rarely reaching the Gulf of California.

4️⃣ Amu Darya & Syr Darya (Central Asia)

Heavily diverted during Soviet projects (1960s) to irrigate cotton fields, leading to the shrinkage of the Aral Sea.

5️⃣ Kuningan River (India)

Diverted for irrigation during various periods in India’s ancient and medieval history.

6️⃣ Los Angeles River (USA)

Channelized and partially rerouted in the 1930s to prevent flooding.

7️⃣ Murray River (Australia)

Rerouted and regulated with dams, weirs, and channels for irrigation and water supply.

8️⃣ Nile River (Egypt)

Course not completely changed, but massively controlled by human projects (Aswan High Dam, canals) to regulate flooding and irrigation.

9️⃣ Indus River (Pakistan/India)

Extensive canal systems (Indus Basin Irrigation System) divert significant flow for agriculture.

10️⃣ Rhone River (France)

Rerouted in sections for navigation and hydroelectric projects.

11️⃣ Rhine River (Germany/Netherlands)

Straightened and rerouted in sections for flood control and navigation (19th-century Tulla rectification).

12️⃣ Ganges River (India)

Farakka Barrage (1975) altered flow between India and Bangladesh to manage siltation and water distribution.

13️⃣ Sacramento River (USA)

Rerouted in parts through the Sacramento River Flood Control Project.

14️⃣ Columbia River (USA/Canada)

Controlled and rerouted with dams (Grand Coulee, etc.) altering natural flow for power and irrigation.

15️⃣ South Fork of the American River (USA)

Diverted during the California Gold Rush for hydraulic mining.

16️⃣ Lena River (Russia)

Sections controlled for seasonal water management.

Is anything safe forever? Is anything indestructible? The oldest surface soil is a million years old. The whole face of the earth has been wiped clean time and time again. The hoover dam won't even finish curing into concrete fully for centuries. Expected to stand for millennia if the only outside force it faces is that river.

That I can see. Pressure based altimeter need to be calibrated to the air density of the landing area to be accurate for landing.

The station nightclub fire killed 100 before anyone had internet on their phone. Stampedes are deadly. Crushing can happen without a stampede, surging crowds can push someone against a wall so hard their lungs cannot expand to take in new air.

But either way, my point was 5G is way down the list of occams razors for cause of death here.

That was drugs. Or more people would've been affected.

There has to be manual backups if so. Like back up iron sights on a fighting gun. It was only when optics were basically proven to be absolutely reliable. And even then, those elite enough to not run back up irons have multiple firearms on their person.

Doubt

Im a skydiver and I've seen zero issues with airplanes and 5G. I shitpost on the trip up. The iPad we use to show the jumpers what they're over in flight is 5G.

How does 5G prevent flying?

Im a skydiver so I don't fly commercial much because I prefer landing myself back on the earth but 5G has nothing to do with the plane I ride every weekend.

I get 5G pretty deep in the mountains here. At least 30 miles from nearest town. Intermittent but still.

How is it not already deployed across the whole US?

It's possible, but hard.

But hard shouldn't stop you.

The 10th ammendment hasn't mattered to the feds since 1865.

Yes, but sometimes a feint gets you in position to kill. Think Selous Scouts.

The VA didn't ask about my vaccination status yesterday. They don't know I didn't get jabbed at a little pop up place with shitty records keeping. CVS isn't asking me what health system I want my jabbed status uploaded to.

5 miles. Rangers. Running alongside armored vehicles, not for their lives.

They're equally important. The very concept of self defense is on trial. The very concept of journalism is on trial.

Hand to hand... isn't

I'll headbutt the fuck out your face with my helmet and night vision mount. I know, I've seen me do it.

Eventually is a long time, tbh. Mogadishu, Benghazi, Turki Village.

We do just fine without air support, tbh.

This is not absolutely true. My parents needed to split earlier. Both were better parents to me apart. Both found me a great step parent.

Having two stable divorced parents is better than two married toxic parents. Having one good parent not hung up in a toxic relationship is better than two in a toxic relationship.

I'll bet it's concentrated in combat arms too

Some will, most won't. Learned the true dividing line between warriors and state agents during the protests. Those that comply aren't warriors. Most active duty military combat arms and SOF aren't complying.
