Looks like they put the oversized load on a boat for as long as they could, but have to do the last leg by road.

This looks like a major update to a well-established improvement hack. A retranslation with ability name changes, more detailed maps, and that Bishop softlock bug should be long stomped.

You’ve just described the entire language of Toki Pona. The same string of words can mean “bear” or “elephant”, and I copied a phrase someone used to mean “tiger trap” and it was read as “bamboo arch”.

The mixture is my point. Some things are better. Some things are worse. I specified for women because the backlash against woke has already hurt women badly.

If you are a woman, do you think society was in better shape in 2012 or today? Standing Confederate monuments, hostility to trans people, and all?

Leave a bad review. I did get halfway back.

The US has lots of land that doesn’t require irrigation, but also lots of land that can grow crops if irrigated. Some of that land in California is some of the best farmland in the whole country, growing things that prefer California’s Mediterranean climate (similar to parts of Australia’s southwest coast).

We have the technology and have had it for a while. But we don’t have the laws and habits of dry countries so US water laws are a wasteful mess.

An irrigation canal like this is a big ditch to move water from a river to near farm fields. Without the extra water taken from the river, there wouldn’t be enough water in the soil for crops to grow in the area.

Being a big ditch open to the sky, the hot sun and dry air make a bunch of the irrigation water evaporate before it even gets to the field. So we went to all the effort of taking water out of the river just to waste it humidifying the nearby air.

Why did we do it in the first place? Because it’s way easier and cheaper to dig a ditch than to lay a big pipe, and I don’t know if the US had any other water-delivery tech at the right scale when these were built.
