I found it highly, laughably hypocritical for Blumenthal to grill Hegseth on his budget overruns while managing a veteran non-profit group while he himself is part of an organization that has our country 30 trillion in debt.

I don't understand why Trump is showing his cards like this when Biden has the pardon power to put a Royal Flush is Jack-asses hands.

Plus could you put a link to the actual Truth. Anyone could have made this screenshot up.

I think we have a country to save, and that will be priority, and not helping dig newscum form the hole he has created for himself.

Respectfully, what I would like to see discouraged, if not banned entirely is the posting of screenshots of stories with no link to source article. These type post are hard to vet without doing to research to find source, and leaves up wide open to fake claims.

For example, someone will post a screenshot of an tweet, instead of posting the link to the actual tweet. And one could fake a tweet.

Please don't post pictures of information that is not sourced to the original information. This leaves to much room for fake news that cannot be verified.

Plus this was already posted 10 hours ago, and your post was five hours ago. Did you do a quick search to see if this was already posted?

Completely agree. This site has become just another news aggregate where people are grabbing any story they can to make a post, with zero research done to vet or add to information or opinion.

Plus very few seem to at least do a cursory search to see if the story has already been dropped.

Lastly, lots of people post screenshot of information with no link to source/sauce where story cannot be vetted. This, with exception of memes should be discouraged.

The noise out here, at least to me, has the affect of distracting from the signal, the well researched drops.

How do you deal with displacement of water i.e. wake.

I say this just based on the Star Trek episode Balance of Terror where the Enterprise successfully targeted the Romulan clocked ship when it flew through a comets tail.

Paint a fire truck blue, and everyone would still know it's a fire truck.

Just from common sense perspective, I'm guessing that boat idea must have panels, or densely packed cameras that project the background surface of the water on exterior of boat. That would make sense because all water basically looks the same. It's not like on land where an almost infinite number of background shapes, and colors would need to be projected.

EGGZACTLY! Great Picture!! Thanks

Imagine if everyone, or even a multi of people in PP would have done the same thing. The entire fiasco could have been avoided.

You know the gun defense saying: Space is time. Time is options.

Even in worst case scenario, slow fire down enough to allow fire fighters to get engaged.

Agree, but wise to not focus on any one thing. Non-renewal of PA could be offered up as a sacrificial lamb by the right hand, while the left hand if undermining out liberty in another way, most like through some AI scheme.

Maybe they are afraid that to much water sprayed on fire will wash ashes into the streams and threaten the smelt, or snail darters.

Well you didn't:

  1. Promise to pay out sufficient money to the Minnesota Senator
  2. Have a video of the Senator engaging in sex with a child
  3. Have compromised material on Senators family member.

Or surely you company would be thriving today.

BTW - Sorry this happened. Keep thinking.

LOL. Your close but in this case I am applying rational common sense to irrationally panicked non-thinking people.

Understandable, there are conditions would would overwhelm any attempt to stop it from burning down home. A hot fire with enough fuel, and oxygen is going to get where it want to. There best bet would have been to remove fuel for fire with controlled burns.

Just found this article that describes how mother and son save there home in recent fire with pump and pool water. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-09/mother-son-team-battle-to-protect-pacific-palisades-homes

Lots of people were wetting down property with a 1/2 garden hose which was useless.

Just found this article where owners did same a home with a pump and pool water. So it's very doable.
