Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm as big an asshole as you'll find on this site and I hate china as much as the next guy, but as a heathen raised by real Christians, I'm really not going to cheer if millions of people are killed and millions more suffer if that commie built dam breaks. The supply problems we had due to Covid-19... imagine that several orders of magnitude worse.... and *PERMANENT* until new factories get built. This is yet more reason why it was stupid for Corporations to depend on *ONE NATION* for the entirety of their supply chain. AT the very least, we need to encourage businesses to start diversifying their supply chains. |

Quoted: https://youtu.be/paWbUs93hmM It looks like China now has its own version of California's Oroville Dam Crisis with the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangze River. It has been raining quite a bit the last few days/weeks causing massive flooding on the river, especially when combined with the kind of massive water releases, some of them not publicized very well, if at all. In addition to the fake gold fraud, and the Corona Virus, we now have up to 400 million Chinese under flood threat. Finally, one of the major cities that would be impacted if the dam fails would be Wuhan, yeah, THAT WUHAN. A sort of great washing away scenario in the spiritual sense perhaps? May fuck be upon them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Its schadenfreude, brought on my the problems caused by the kung flu as well as some really bone headed moves on the part of the ccp. Its not right, but its human nature and its not so best. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I don't understand why people here are cheering on the potential death of tens of millions of people. It really comes across like a bunch of people on here are psychopaths.  It's a pretty bad look for the community, if I'm honest.I also don't understand how the damn would "bend" like the satellite photos show, without breaking. Concrete doesn't exactly bend, so I'm more inclined to actually believe this is an issue with the imagery itself.

I was thinking it was something like that. The photo I posted just looks like an extreme example to illustrate how these satellite images don't necessarily reflect reality. I remember a few years ago... some people engaged in all sorts of conspiracy theories about some parts of Green Land that had a swath of just blacked out areas... in a perfect square. People LITERALLY believed that black square was a HOLE IN THE FUCKING EARTH. A far more likely (but still stupid) theory, implied the area was redacted to hide a secret base smack dab in the middle of Greenland.  |

The dude that made that presentation lacks critical thinking skills, and experience with google earth.
The pictures taken down the length of the dam show it arrow straight (unless the pictures he implied were current, were file photos). |

If there was distortion in the image, it would also appear in the water flow. |

When I drove him to the airport he was in tears and didn't want to go back. He was willing to never see his family and fiancee again if he could just stay. He loved America and Americans. |

You likely won't be able to buy new consumer electronics for 2 to 3 years. well to be honest since most electronics manufacturing has move from Japan and Korea to china, I have noticed a dramatic reduction in quality. I have lost count how many dvd players I have thrown into the trash because they stopped working and self destructed. Yet older equipment not made in china functions just as well 20 years later. |

I've noticed it's very difficult to tell how many gates are open. Some news reports suggest they pop some open only at night, generating a lot of flooding down stream.

Quote HistoryQuoted: IIRC that dam holds enough water back it slightly effected the rotation of the Earth. I watched a documentary about it and thought "that sounds neat, hope to see it when it's finished" then realized it had already been finished for a couple of years. My parents spent 3 months in China back in the early 1980's and spent quite a bit of time in that area prior to the dam being constructed. Entire ancient cities we submerged once it was completed. |

What's the food situation looking like in China? They had the swine ebola porkacalypse 6 months ago with a dash of bird flu, neglect due to sick workers and Wuflu roadblocks killed a lot of stuff, authorities cracked down on some of the weirder snacks, now they have torrential rain and flooding and I'm guessing a lot of crops are being washed away.

Difficult to comment about dams bursting on your enemies homeland when our allies, the Brits intentionally designed and dropped bombs to to that exact same thing to the Germans in WWII.
