Yeah I'm aware. Same two years ago. Probably multiple times in the past as well.

I guess you gotta give the people what they want. And what they want is invasive murder pigs.

That was an interesting video, jwb. I learned something about how to castrate a hippo, although I don't expect to be applying that knowledge any time soon. But for once, this thread is enlivened with an environmental problem that seems to have a simple, achievable solution.

Not so lucky with this one, and similar or worse water shortages in the Middle East, Pakistan, India:

The reservoirs where I live are at record lows as well.
Water wars are going to get ugly, and have already prompted the migration of many climate refugees. I read an analysis that said the recent civil war in Syria was prompted by the hardships endured by drought; people could tolerate the Syrian regime until the water ran out.

On the other hand we might see the rise of the Fremen.

Hey! A reference to a fantasy novel I understood!



Yeah, that could be planet earth pretty soon.

I see a blue eyed Bin Laden resurrected and riding a sandworm into the Empire State Building.
