Does Sprint have contingencies in place for the California exodus?

Perhaps not at the moment because it's not absolutely necessary. However, if push comes to shove, whoever's sitting in the governor's mansion won't let Clark County whither just because Nye, Esmerelda, White Pine and the other rural counties don't want to share. ;)

And hopefully that will never happen to Nye County. The amount of water we have will only cover Las Vegas for a few years.

Share? Share??? The State of Nevada over allocated water rights in White Pine, Esmeralda, Nye and Lincoln counties. Actually all counties. At least water users in that area, farmers and municipalities and powerplants, their water percs back into the ground and can be used over and over again. If Las Vegas took water from those basins and transported it to Clark County, that water would never recharge and those basins would not be able to supply local water rights in a few years.

 

One of my friends is a Hydrologist for the State of Nevada. Don't forget, yours truly lived in Nevada for 16 years. If everyone used all their water rights in Nevada, the state would go high and dry the first year, even if it was a wet year. The system only doesn't fail because people don't use all their allocations and current uses keep water in their own basins. Central and Eastern Nevada is a desert. They cannot spare the water. It's a fragile ecosystem where the current usage rates doesn't even fully recharge the acquifer in but the wettest years.

 

Vegas needs to look elsewhere for water than the driest counties in the nation with limited water supplies. Perhaps Vegas should get more of the Colorado watershed? If Las Vegas had been a major community when the Colorado was dammed, they would have received a much larger pro rata share. But more importantly, treated effluent needs to be used to the highest degree possible in major communities in the desert. Purple Pipe FTW!

If all the agriculture in Cali were dried up, would it all be irreplaceable by farms in wetter USA areas?

 

I get that Mediterranean-y crops like almonds would have a price spike but other stuff… wouldn't the price spike incentivize increased production elsewhere?

 

Aren't farmers still bring paid to NOT grow crops?

California is the the 7th largest economy in the world with a significant part of that being agriculture because of good soil and the weather.

 

You can replace the amount of territory you can farm on but you'll never change the growing season.

Put a brick in your toilet and call it a day. Lol

 

Actually, you can get a $100 rebate by water agencies in CA to move to a 1.2 gal/flush toilet.  Basically makes the toilet almost free if you know how to install.

 

Growing up in CA during the 91-92 drought, we were paid to upgrade to 1.6 gal/flush toilets... now it is 1.2 gal/flush.  I am sure in 2024 it will be 1 gal/flush toilets.

 

I use a 1.2 gal/flush toilet by toto today and it is FAR better than the 1.6+ gallon/flush toilets of the past.  No idea how they do it.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
