What the shit is this...
I grew up in (and now have returned to) a part where it never didn't rain.

Will it ever rain again?

I knew it. All I had to do was arrange to get my bike out if the shop. Now that it's fixed, we can count on a full winter. You're all welcome.
Call me a poos all you want, riding in the rain is a lot of extra hassle and not worth it to me.

Zoinks!!!!
I don't ride in rain, either. It'd be nice to go snowboarding or have water for bathing, though.

Get a dirt bike, used to hate rain with a passion (because of work). Now I'm just confused inside

I read the Governor's report this morning regarding water. I wish I hadn't. It's really, really bad.

Someone should figure out a way of storing what we are getting on the east coast and the overflow sending it to the places that need it.

It's all in the reflexes
At first I liked no rain because it means I can ride to work every day.
But now I am actually worried.
Why don't they start ramping up the cost of water supply and demand style until the demand drops off?

did you read the part where he said it may require everyone to turn the water off while you brush your teeth?

We used to really, really look forward to the first rain of the year, get the dust down, good traction, always put new tires on before the first rain. Good times.

Yeah, Having Jerry B. tell me not to flush was the sign that this is truly the beginning of the end for us.

Some of the newer ones strike a good balance between low water usage and an effective flush. We recently installed ones that do have a two stage flush; lower volume if you press and release the flush handle and higher volume if you hold the handle until the flush I'd complete.
yeah I see them more and more in houses I work on. two stage units. makes a big difference.
there's valves that can be retrofitted to existing toilets as well
I just pee of my porch

I did this with the toilets in my house, it was only $20 in parts per toilet. Took maybe 10 minutes per toilet to do.
This might be in our future this summer since a large amount of PG&E's energy comes from Sierra hydropower. Not a fun day to work for Brazil's grid operator, ONS

Just put an object like a brick or large water bottles in the tank to eat up volume
for a cheap easy way to save water.
