Wow! Look at all that garbage accumulated under there! Makes you kinda wonder what else is in the water.
Note the flotation devices are just Styrofoam barrels not encased. looks like a huge percentage of the debris is sluff from the barrels as can be seen at the very bottom of the video where the mooring tire isQuote:

Apparently, that's not legal in most places over there, but it's still done. Hopefully, the fish coming over, as well as those raised/caught here, are tested for pathogens and toxins before they make it to market.Quote:

I need to run a swamp cooler full time night and day otherwise since the greenhouse is not hermetically sealed our low ambient humidity just sucks the water out of the air
Plenty humid up here north of you Frank S, shall I have it shipped to you?
No one here will mind; not one bit!
no thanks we're good.
Really? A Terrific volume discount applies.......how about we throw in exclusive options for next successive years?Quote:

Add in the heat and those goofy buggers might as well be living in Houston
Same here; two nights ago a perfect demonstration, southbound from St. Joseph after 9 pm. 80° and real humid in town of 73k population, ~5 miles wide, ~7 miles long, 75° windows down and cool on the highway, even past MCI airport and Historical Truck building. By 10:20pm, North Kansas City 85° and perspiring from just driving, the population barely over 1 million, in less than 70 miles of latitude.Quote:

Then record any changes in atmospheric conditions in the regions where the cities were removed and where they were deposited. Of course, I would place them about as close to one another as you would plant radishes in a gardenQuote:

Dunning-Kruger warning: I'm ignorant on this topic. Given the way this is constructed I think it's a seaweed farm. Does that sound right?
The wife and I used to eat Swai. It was really tasty, stayed nice and moist and it was cheap! That is until I read up and found out most of the fish farms that produced this fish were at the outlet of the Mekong Delta which is notorious for it's pollution and farmland runoff. We eat Alaskan farmed fish now...
