You can select Charlotte. I didn't know we built a new runway recently.

 

Vegas is frightening

Yep, another one on the way too.

 

Check out the Aral Sea video if you haven't.

 

That is probably one of the best examples of just how much human activity can decimate an ecosystem. After that sea evaporated it not only destroyed the local fishing villages, it also created increased drought conditions to the east of the lake. Truly incredible how something the size of a some of the Great Lakes is nearly completely gone in only 30 years.

I've been waiting for this type of stuff to start gaining traction.  City by city its been available through GIS services for a decent while but as these layers/files get more accessible to the public, there could be some really cool stuff.  Utilize the whole 3D warehouse idea and chart historical context...basically have people reconstruct 3D google earth style cities and maps and the best rated buildings/city plans are the one's used.

Check out the oil sands in Alberta. It looks like they are unzipping the earth. 

it deserves being unzipped from time to time!!!

 

 

little known fact...the oil sands were discovered because there are many spots where the deposits are so close to the surface that on warm days, the oil literally oozes out of the earth.  Many moons ago, local natives and fur traders used this oozing oil for water proofing etc.  Before man came along, this oil was oozing everywhere, including and especially on the banks of the local water ways.

 

point being...not all you read about the oil sands being terrible and a huge environmental disaster is true.  For that, you need to google coal

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
