Is California finally going fall into the ocean on Tuesday?

[GetX'd]

Yes the facts do speak for themselves - I’m sorry for reminding you about Three Mile Island blight. I’m sure it’s a very painful and lasting memory. Like thousands of years .....

I didn't see his post I was typing then entered my post and saw it... NO rant really just facts. I like California it just has a "few" issues that I posted about...

Just more facts for you, the intelligent people understand... Please read below so you actually know. Radiation exposure was 6 times less than a chest x-ray. It also was almost 4 decades ago....You really need to learn how to read and comprehend Facts. So sorry no pain and ZERO memory of it as I am not that old. Again my list is CURRENT as of TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SEE VERY INFORMATIVE INFORMATION BELOW THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW

The accident at the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) nuclear power plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania, on March 28, 1979, was the most serious in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant operating history(1), even though it led to no deaths or injuries to plant workers or members of the nearby community. But it brought about sweeping changes involving emergency response planning, reactor operator training, human factors engineering, radiation protection, and many other areas of nuclear power plant operations. It also caused the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to tighten and heighten its regulatory oversight. Resultant changes in the nuclear power industry and at the NRC had the effect of enhancing safety.

Detailed studies of the radiological consequences of the accident have been conducted by the NRC, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (now Health and Human Services), the Department of Energy, and the State of Pennsylvania. Several independent studies have also been conducted. Estimates are that the average dose to about 2 million people in the area was only about 1 millirem. To put this into context, exposure from a full set of chest x-rays is about 6 millirem. Compared to the natural radioactive background dose of about 100-125 millirem per year for the area, the collective dose to the community from the accident was very small. The maximum dose to a person at the site boundary would have been less than 100 millirem.

Maybe someday you'll get a chance to fly over California and see just how much of this state is rural, forested land. And, oh yeah, we have firearms too...

The forested land really got to me, there a lot of states that simply blow you away with the amount of timber that shows up on Google maps.

What’s the beef? I apologized for reminding you of the blight that remains a part of American history for generations to come. Again - I’m sorry you have to live with that......

 

[oldbee]

Relax guys,lol.

Fair enough. I’m not sure how much time you’ve spent here but your posts paint this place with a pretty broad brush.
While this isn’t my favorite place I’ve lived, the bad stuff does get exaggerated a fair bit.
I’m from Oklahoma and have lived out here for the last 20 years. I’ll probably leave in a few years to be out in the country more.
Lots of good people here, though. California is HUGE. In my years here I’ve never been in a mudslide, a wildfire, never been attacked by gang members etc.
Back east has blizzards, Oklahoma has tornadoes, the south has hurricanes....and so on. Lots of sanctuary cities throughout this country too. Not only in California. Does this place drive me crazy sometimes, sure it does. Not sure what hassling people who live here accomplishes though.
Some of us are leaving also. Your place looks nice. I’ve been to philly before too, it’s all yours.....

Hey Kiwi aren't you glad we live all the way down here..where its pristine & safe ? Good thing is we can import all we need including their cars and still visit!

 

[Budnicks]

I can't count how many times in my lifetime I've heard
"we are going to fall off into the ocean all the coastal region...
I t was a joke then it's still a joke today...

Another useless pissing contest between east & west
both have their attributes...
Some more than others, some worse that others...
At least we have great weather

We do have a **** storm of loser Leadership/some appointed some
elected here, unfortunately, much like many states have today...
Some will be gone the next election cycle too...
We do have 16 million conservative, tax paying & hard working people...
We do have a large majority of people on the govt. dole, an unfair share,
we have a huge, union presence a huge Lefts influence in all the urban areas
a lot is because we have great warm weather, especially the homeless/poor
{well except in the mountains sometimes} it draws them in like locusts
to a fertile crop...

2 major metropolitan {3 if you include parts of I80 corridor} ,
areas that have some nice areas within their borders,
& also have ghettos/slums, inner-shitty's areas like SF Bay Area
& LA/Hollyweird areas...
That dictate most of our extreme politics, while they live behind guard gates
& 30' high fences & claim they are part of the resistance, they are 1%-ers...
Maybe like 1/6th of the land mass here holds "1/2 or more" of all of the
total Calif.'s population...
Most of them are transplants from another completely different "shithole"
or eastern state, somewhere east of the Rockies if not the Mississippi River...

It's a huge & vastly diverse state, we aren't all the same...
We do have our share of transients & transplants all from elsewhere,
they have created a bunch of the mess here, they moved away
from their own "shitholes" homeland/states, countries etc. "shitholes"
& brought their politics here, now many are trying to make this a
"shithole" just like they left to come here, for a better life...
Clueless Libiots...

And we have better weather, probably why most people stay,
but we have the best car culture in the world & US

We do have all seven wonders of the world here in 1 state
it's a vast "Yuge" state with many different areas, "some great citizens"...
You can ski during the day & surf in the afternoon or visa versa,
it's not all the same it's vastly diferent from county to county sometimes,
vastly different 10 miles away even, some are truly polar opposites
just a county over, let alone Coastal & Sacramento's political crap vs
Sierras & much of the valley, ranch land & farms...

We don't all have earthquakes, we don't all have wildfires,
we don't all have mud slides, we don't all have fake/Hollyweird's mentality
let alone most all the fake news BS constantly, all from a bunch of transplants
mostly all from somewhere else...
That probably came here because we have great weather

We do have almost 75%-80% of the state is rural or
mostly rural ranch & farm lands, crops as far as you can see,
huge mountains great beaches, great grass lands, even great desserts
& a shitload better weather , than any state back east
let alone east of the Mississippi where 70% of the US population lives...
Where most all the taxpayers funds are all spent...
Where most all the lefts politics is spawned & runs rampant...
All long the eastern seaboard, all the way into the Mississippi
&/or Ohio River & Red River valleys & further...

Maybe people should look in their own back yards/states 1st...
Admit your problems 1st...
Look in mirror 1st...

WE are supposed to be the United States not the Divided States
like we were during the past decade of leadership, prior to 2017...
That has pitted good men & against each other...
Just because we are different...

I'm certainly no liberal...
I was born & raised here, I love my home state,
I think it's worth fighting for too, I'm not willing to give it up...
{Like some detractors here love their home state too I'm sure}
& I stayed to fight the transplants of "locusts plight", I didn't "Tuck tail & run"
it was a great state, it's still a very good state, it can be "Great again",
we need a swamp draining/a perg "just like many of the eastern seaboard states",
does too...

At least we have better weather
I'll be enjoying the great weather, going out 4 wheeling, sledding, riding
& be able to be driving my RR all 12 months this year too,
walk out my back door & know I'm surrounded by vastly open country,
abundant diverse wildlife & good honest/hard working people {very little crime}
or just drive a few miles up the hill or down the hill & go skiing, fishing, boating,
swimming, shooting/hunting, camping, mountaineering or even surfing too...

Heck yes.....this feels like a safe place to be right now.

 

[kiwigtx]

Next time I visit the States, I have a few people at FBBO on my drop-in list ....and a heap of them are in California. I just need to work out how to catch up with the others.
@Meep-Meep 's Missile base sounds like a very cool place to visit and a knowledgeable guy to talk to. Some of you others know who you are.

I bet you have bugs in your colon. Some would attest to them being mutated from--take your pick of anything containing the word "nuclear" and being spread by air travel. No place is safe from 'RADIATION"
OOPs--accept what comes from the sun.

 

[vintage chromoly]

California is an absolutely beautiful state.
One of my favorite places.

That's me fu*ked then.

The east coast has indeed been "contaminated' by TMI. Check that off the list of places to raise kids.
The west coast likewise from the Pacific ocean spreading the evil from Japan.--Check that off the list.
Some places in mid-country may still be safe but must be driven there to avoid "exposure" from flying.

I'll be right back....have to don my radiation suit to hang out some laundry.

Since this thread has played out several times I don't feel shy about adding to its end or diverging.

My mother joined the army during WW2. She was a lab Xray tec. She got huge doses of radiation before someone said hold on with this.
She had doses that would confine people these days as a precaution to protect the general public.
When I told her about my exposure rates working on old reactors (in the 70s) she just laughed at how silly that amount was.
Since then she gave birth to me and my six sibblings. She passed at age 84 from non-radiation related issues.
BTW she did tell me I had a special glow.--But moms do tend to say things like that.

And while our “mate” is away; their British accent to me is so much better than from across the Atlantic. Oh, and thank them for the help in WWII & Nam.

Seems appropriate now....
