Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Here's a link to new laws in the state: Good Grief...! Some really weird stuff here ~ including elimination of bail (It's free!) to requiring pet stores to only sell puppies, bunnies, and kittens from shelters. Oh... and just to cement the "progressive" nature of Berkeley, natural gas is now banned in all new construction. Owners will be required to use only electricity ~ which, as we all know, the state has an overabundance of and which is cheap, too. NOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoky Pistols Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 After nearly 25 years in the building maintenance field, I just found out the other day why manhole covers are round and not square. I never thought about it until I was told. Anybody else know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will need a natural gas supply to run the the 20kW genset required to cook when PG&E shuts the power off due to high winds. Oh this is Berzerkley if they figure out that a lot of residents are installing noisy hazardous air polutant & GHG emitting natural gas fueled standby gensets they'll ban them. Those who can afford rooftop PV will have to add a couple of Tesla Powerwalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 As an interesting side note, while it is disputed, a "manhole cover" of sorts, could very well have been the first man-made object to be launched into space. https://www.businessinsider.com/fastest-object-robert-brownlee-2016-2?fbclid=IwAR1q5Uq3FogdPGVahIb8c4050ORJEnqE7BOIXUKV-wKS9wiTR4Kznjj-vT0#so-the-next-time-you-look-up-at-the-stars-remember-brownlees-story-somewhere-out-there-a-manhole-cover-launched-by-a-nuclear-bomb-is-probably-speeding-away-from-earth-at-about-125000-mph-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you refer to homosexuals as "gay" and heterosexuals as "straight"? Just about everyone does. The terms are idiotic, but people started using them, and the more you hear someone say it, the more likely you are to say it. Do you call a neckerchief a "wild rag"? A chinstrap a "stampede string"? Same thing. Someone started using the term, others started saying it, and now many (if not most) of the people playing cowboy use these terms.

Alpo Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Generally, when someone yells, "quit trying to claim my culture!", I have an almost overwhelming urge to shoot them a bird, and tell them to attempt to physiologically impossible act of self impregnation. But that guy - somebody needs to beat the crap out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
