In Tucson there is a park named "Randolph Park". It is about a square
mile in size. They water the park with reclaimed water. It does have a
slight odor to it. Yikes!!
I like my coffee with the slight odor of recycle..Yummy!!!
Ok, so I am a Christian and in the Bible God says to subdue
Yikes!!

Water can be made fit to drink again. I'm reminded of the joke that
says: What do they make today's coffee with on the space station?
Yesterday's coffee.

Apologies as I meant to include this, but I used the wrong reply-to
address, which bounced it from PLUG.
Here is the article.

I don't know if the wind power we are capable of collecting is
sufficient enough to alter weather patterns, but

And the cities we have built? the changes have already been made in some
places.

Matthew Crews had an interesting reference, which I skimmed. Apparently
there is a 6% change in a non-trivial distance downwind from the
wind farm. If my skimming was accurate, that was measured difference,
but the simulation apparently was similar. (But now we've gotten beyond
my skimming
Can water for agricultural use be reclaimed? Other than it eventually making
its way back into the water table?
Water could also be recycled/treated such that it's good for agricultural use
but not for consumption, which I imagine would be cheaper than fully reclaiming
the water, which could
I'm hoping that all those business that are growing warehouses along
I-10/303 and the Taiwan chip maker (TSMC) have all done their due
diligence and there is a reasonable expectation that we will have water
for a long while.
How's that for sticking my head into the sand.

This is not a typical LUG convo, but this one really peaked my
interest. I grew up around the
Pump up the noise!
Whereas megawatts of power is being removed from the kinetic energy of
the wind, how much of the total is it? How wide is the wind, and how
high, compared to the size of the wind farm? The windmills remove some
fraction of a percent. I think this qualifies as "a gnat's fart
Hey guys,
Actually, our current lack of water (and the current drought were in), as part
of a 550 year-long cycle. This particular cycle started somewhere between 1982
and 1986 with one of the driest years we had, sometime in the last 10 years.
And yes, this heat wave that we’re suffering
Ok, we are SO FAR off-topic that I shouldn't say anything, and I
apologize for adding to the noise!
However, I have one comment. For many years I was a BIG fan of wind power.
Now, however, I've realized that nobody has calculated the effect of
removing MEGAWATTS of power from the wind.
"Coming lack of water" is going to be handled by zero-waste. 100%
recycling all waste water. Think about that for a minute... yes, all
that water that is flushed down the sewer will be reclaimed and recycled
into potable water. Unimaginable? Google: Toilet to tap. And yes, your
cities are
Interesting topic. I wonder how it will workout.
I read an article last year about a couple in Tucson that are capturing
rain water and that was enough to supply their needs. I did some
research and there is a formula based on roof space and rain fall that
will determine the amount of water

It's all FUD. If anything, agricultural land uses more water than
residential land, and agricultural land is what's getting converted to

It's bearable; at least I'm not sitting in a pool of my own sweat.

How do you
Glad it worked!
I lived in Florida for ~10 years myself, in the Ft. Walton
Beach/Navarre/Pensacola areas, and got my degree there at UWF. Sometimes I wish
I were still there but I'm enjoying the non-humidity of Arizona for now.

Thanks, it worked. As for the time zone: Yep, I'm on the East coast. I was
introduced to Linux in 97ish when I lived in Phoenix. When I moved to
Florida I just kinda hung on to PLUG.

If that fails, I assume you're on a debian system, in which case you probably
need to install timesyncd:
apt install systemd-timesyncd
then try running the above command again.
...additionally it says EDT; are you on the east cost? If you're in Phoenix,
The time is now about 10am here. I ran timedatectl and it says:
RTC time: Sun 2050-06-19 00:04:01
but my clock says the correct date but that it is about 21:00.
Why won't the time sync?
