ParticipantThe teacher told her to put her phone away. She refused. The teacher then tell her to leave, she refused. The teacher then call in the principal (or maybe it was vice principal). She was asked to leave by the principal. She refused. So they had to call in the campus police. As a parent, I would be pissed that my kid miss an hour of class time because of some kid who’s inconsiderate and don’t know how to follow the rule. If you don’t want to be in class, just leave. Let those who want to be there have an opportunity to learn.
Participant.
ParticipantVery well said NSR. I totally agree. Not to mention all the wealthy people who get tax credits for buying Tesla. I have no issue with poor people getting some help. It’s another thing entirely for wealthy people/companies to get government handouts.
ParticipantCAR, you might not have to worry about the Latinos infiltrating America if the current trend continues. You should be worried about the Asians: http://newamericamedia.org/2015/10/asian-immigrants-likely-to-overtake-hispanics-in-us-population.php
OMG, the Asians are coming, the Asians are coming…
Participant[quote=spdrun]But water should be priced to reflect its actual cost, not subsidized. Also, pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides required to maintain a lawn should be priced to reflect their environmental cost and restricted in use.
Runoff from lawns poisons the ocean, and chemicals are used far more liberally for lawns than for farms.[/quote]
That’s exactly what I said. Price water appropriately, but don’t restrict use of it. Allow the people to restrict their own usage base on their budget. Just like electricity.As for runoff, we should implement storm drain runoff recapturing system so we can recycle that water too. So, there would be NO storm drain runoff.
Like I said, it’s all pretty straight forward, desal, toilet to tap, storm drain runoff, mini dams, large dams. If we would just implement those 5 things, we would no longer need to talk about water shortage.
Participant[quote=spdrun]Changing the indoor temperature/humidity is very different from terraforming an entire neighborhood to look like a place 3000 miles away.[/quote]It’s called freedom and options. You can enjoy your dessert landscape but you shouldn’t force your neighbor to do the same. If I want to live in an area where everything look uniform, I would live in an HOA ridden area.
ParticipantWhy do you have heater and AC in the north east? Why not enjoy NY winter as it is?

I don’t care – I want green lush landscapes and parks, not a bleak depressing landscape of rocks and outdoor carpet.
No one is making you stay in Southern California. You can move to the Midwest or the East, to the mountain pine forests in Julian, or even to the Costa Rican rain forest.
“I came to Casablanca for the waters.”
“What waters? We’re in the middle of the desert.”
“Seems I was misinformed…”Earth will have different biomes — it’s silly to move to another biome and expect it to be exactly like the one you left.[/quote]
It’s called 21st century. We’re not in the 16th century anymore. There’s that big giant body of water just west of us. We have the technology to make it happen. So, make it happen. It really isn’t that difficult or expensive. It’s a lot cheaper than the bullet train. Water is a necessity while a bullet train isn’t. Water is used by everyone while a bullet train wouldn’t. Water is dirt cheap compare to electricity. Build a few hundred desalination plants, build toilet to tap system for every cities and raise the water rate by 2-4X. Those who want to not spend more can conserve and those who want lush green grass and pay for it. It’s really that simple.Participanthttp://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/sep/05/fill-er-up/
LoL, what water shortage.September 19, 2015 at 10:26 PM in reply to: How will Qualcomm layoff impact SD housing market? #789450Participant[quote=Rich Toscano]Lizards???[/quote]
Yep, the infestation kind. Even worse are the ones that love the unbearable heat.September 16, 2015 at 10:15 PM in reply to: How will Qualcomm layoff impact SD housing market? #789397ParticipantHere’s the site:
ParticipantLOL, I said screw you to RYU and the damage so far is:
$103 for the last 16 days
$247 – $334 projected for this billing cycle if I continue similar usage.I can’t fathom how much it would have been w/out solar… probably around $500-600.
Participant[quote=equalizer][quote=AN]Time Warner is deploying TWC Maxx next month, which is their 300Mbps service.
I hope Google get this done quickly. Competition is great and my house is already pre-wired for fiber, so it shouldn’t cost them very much to turn it on.[/quote]
TWC maxx is 300down, only 20up. Fiber is more symmetrical, like 100/100, 200/200. Big difference for some.[/quote]Oh, I’m totally aware of the difference. However, TWC Maxx is coming next month while who knows when Google Fiber will come. Of course, when Google Fiber comes, I’d definitely switch, unless TWC offer their 300mbps service for 1/2 the price of Google Fiber. Maybe AT&T will offer fiber for SD too, since they seem to be going to every city that Google goes to w/ their Fiber.Participant[quote=all][quote=flu]Out of curiosity…I am sort of curious what percentage of the people that like ccm are STEM degreed/career oriented people.[/quote]
I like the fact that common core is not 100% focused on making sure that 12 year old child can multiply one digit numbers. Imagine where your kid would be if all she had to do is meet pre-ccm standard of good enough?[/quote]WTF? 12 years old multiplying one digit? My 6 year old kid started learning simple 1s, 10s, 100s multiplication and division at the end of his 1st grade school year. You must be joking, right?
