Water may become the new oil.

Sorry. the planet is 2/3 covered by water, albeit salt water, but that's what desalinization is for. We ain't running out anytime soon

Why do you think I want to live near the Great Lakes? Muwah ha ha ha.

 

[matt267 PE]

See the idiot with the hat? Got what he deserved.

 

[matt267 PE]

Tree looks like it needed more water.

It's ok, you're a mechanical.

Can't we just drink from those melting iceberg they keep showing on TV with the sad looking polar bear?

Water is a hologram anyway. So why does any of this matter?

 

[Road Guy]

Probably more like a hologram of a hologram

This shit ain't no joke, one of my first crews we had an inexperienced guy felling and somehow he spun the tree the wrong direction, it hit another one that was dead and took it down and the second one swung around and hit one of the other techs pinning him between it and a third live tree. Total disaster, first you got to extricate him, then hike out of the woods with a 200 lb injured guy, then drive to the first house we came to to use their phone to call 911. (this was back before everyone had cell phones). Guy's arm was completely shattered and he was a bloody mess.

yup. I also get totally pissed off when I see people using chainsaws with out PPE too (even the little farm boss ones can chew up your flesh and tear open an artery) and don't even get me started about all the dudes that disable the brake, good grief that's one good way to increase your chances of getting your face tore off.

and all I wanted to do was have a conversation about water.

 

[Master slacker]

looks like you f'd that up.

 

[matt267 PE]

^ story of my life.

lol...

it all comes down to cost... we'll still have water, it will just cost more. The world does have a way of trying to keep us from exceeding it's resources so it can maybe survive us.
