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

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
