Those same little fish are also the main food for loving salmon so if they disappear there goes california salmon, but these loving morons don't give a poo poo
In the interest of goons have good and correct talking points... no, delta smelt are not the main food source for salmon. Outmigrating salmon are going to be eating mostly insects/zooplankton (because they are small juveniles) and adults returning to spawn are barely eating at all (because their goal is to spawn and die). The period in-between is in the ocean, where delta smelt don't live.

The reason to care about delta smelt is not because they are the main food of salmon (They aren't) but because they are a canary in a coal mine species, and because all native species have intrinsic value and their lose is a tragedy. Things that are bad for smelt are bad for all of our native species, and the talking point of "They withhold water for just this one tiny fish" is a lie. Water management in California takes all of our native species into consideration, with salmon being forefront (Even before delta smelt).

The 2018 Camp Fire was traced to a transmission tower where the hook showed a pattern of wear and rusting prior to it snapping and causing a fire that killed 85 people.

The hook was of a type made in the 1930's. [Edit,worse, it was possibly part of the 1918 original install]

There was no inspection records for that tower since at least the year 2000.

I used to work for a telecomms company but this kinda poo poo happens all the time with any utility that uses towers and poles. They don't wanna inspect their assets regularly according to the GO95 regulations so they either don't do it or half rear end it. Not to mention it's common to overload equipment on poles and skip the entire paperwork process to speed up construction. But hey, everyone can download cat memes faster!!! I am no longer a QA/inspections guy btw. I got frustrated when nobody would take my recommendations seriously because the budget was more important than people's lives.

I don't think that the whole fetal stem cell thing is the "gotcha!" that people want it to be. Sure, the cells used to develop the drug were harvested from an aborted fetus, but the sample came from a baby that was aborted decades ago. It's not like a new baby needs to die for every person that's treated with it; this isn't going to drive a tsunami of new abortion business. It seems to me a little like zinging a vegetarian for sitting on an antique leather couch.

I hosed a fish. The biggest fish! It had to be big in order to fit my massive hog. You know who hasn't hosed a fish? Sleepy Joe. Even if he wanted to he couldn't. His peepee is too small to even gently caress a minnow. SAD!

I mean it was developed using methods that they actively seek to shut down because at some point in the process fetal tissue was used. It's not about the body count, it's still incredibly hypocritical for them to actively shut down practices that make things like that drug possible but then reap the benefits in secret.

They fought very hard to stop stem cell research because of where the material came from. Research that they are now benefiting from, and may have even saved their leader's life. It's a pretty amazing gotcha actually.

It's the same thing as politicians and wealthy people who rail against abortions while simultaneously paying for their mistresses and daughters to get an abortion. The only moral us of it is their use of it. It doesn't matter if they realize the hypocrisy or not, because they don't give a gently caress.

i still won't eat salmon but we used to have salmon from a can + crunchy bones, like the knuckles made into patties with an egg and maybe some bread crumbs.

we had that with potato cakes made from mashed potatoes and it was disgusting reheated

So we had salmon and potato cakes at least once a week because it was almost free

tuna is the only cooked fish i like.... i like lots of shellfish, california roll is good with some horseradish

it's fruit of the poisonous tree

but you would be making a mistake to think the average pro-lifer has the self-awareness to recognize that the problem isn't regeneron™, it's all the other potential medical advances that could've been made had they not banned federal research for purely political reasons during the Bush administration (and want to do again).

but if we don't ban this and they manage to develop an important medicine from new stem cell research, then it would undercut the media friendly pro-life messaging that we use to chip away at women's reproductive rights!! :ohdear:
