>>15 feet on the ground

A friend of mine in Tahoe posted some pics a couple days ago and 15 feet seems quite realistic based on the photos. Crazy amounts of water.

I am thankful for the break we are getting this week.  The ground is very saturated.  Our local utility company dug a shallow trench to replace some underground cables and water just filled up the space making it impossible for them to continue.

It's frustrating to see other parts of the country getting rain, aka "free water from the sky" and we are still so dry here.

Well… free depends on your accounting principles. I would estimate the cost of this water in our neighborhood at $15,000 just for plowing and road damage, not counting a cumulative hundreds of hours of paid and unpaid shoveling.

I’m sure littleman doesn’t feel like this water was free to him.

If they had slapped advertising all over it, they might have gotten away with it.

My filters must be working. Haven't heard mention of her in a few years except an article a while back where a fraudster was described as "no Elizabeth Holmes."

I thought for sure your post was going to say "debt ceiling."

I have X (too many to count) news sources in my feeds.  Most feeds are filtered, but I leave few news websites I visit directly --like Mojeek news-- unfiltered to keep me from constructing a full bubble.  Holmes exhausting her appeals and going to prison has the news in a feeding frenzy.

>debt

I filter on "Biden" and "McC" so I nuked most of it. Even so, yes, it was too much.

Watched 'the dropout' on Netflix, seems like a fantastic imperious delusion.
