Pedo administration's EPA is dead set on screwing the pooch with the incoming Asinine C.AF.E. standards as well. Stuck on stupid like 60% electric by 2030. Ain't no way you are going to electrify heavy transport, mining, farming, industry, diesel in general, etc.

At least we have that to look forward to.. This shit needs to stop. Yesterday. Stat.

Is that the point ? Or is it dumping pollution ? or is he seeing Chemtrails in the water ? Who the f*ck knows with a mind who's convinced all Cirrus clouds are the result of New World Order's Geoengineering. 🤦‍♂️

IDK, the SALT just fit. Maybe the asinine WOTUS EPA regs, resticting TF out of ponds, and swales, saying they are "Navigable" waters, while the Seas are a free for all? I learn a lot on here, so I really don't mind.

If I didn't move back to SoCal in 1980, I would've been a Roofer in Redding, probably not the Best Damn Roofer though.🤣
(When I let my next door neighbor know we were moving back for jobs, he said "WTH Son you shoulda told me!")

I tell ya what, from now on you can learn while wasting your time on the Chumming efforts of the member who just posted an image of a bubble level and will use that as "His Proof Positive" that the world is F*cking flat --- which for the record has been responded to already on more than one occasion that's he's tried to submit the same crap.
You see, this is HIS GAME --- you respond, you respectfully provide answers and credible links and a few posts later he tosses out the same bait.

The floor is all your sir, have fun.

"Are you not entertained.."!°°!

Hey Sparky! C'mon man!!
Jobsite humor.

I'd post up a Best Damn Roofer vid, but I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.

So, does this mean
you didn't like the grease on the car door handle??
G'day! Dominate

I know one thing for sure about levels. A water level will work if the earth is round, or if the earth is flat. Every time.

Now, light on the other hand, is a dilemma. Above my pay grade. Will a laser level shine straight horizontal off into space? Or does the beam disappear, like a lighthouse? The earth being round?

And another thing! Those trips with Tile Trends out of damn near every SoCal landing were epic. Dana Point was insane fun, limits on Yellowtail. The semi-long range trips out of Fisherman's Landing were too. I am hooked. Thanks Carl! RIP Boss

IDK. I do know, Red Right Returning, and that the water level drop is over a foot at the right turn at the edge of the rocks on the shore side, coming around that turn inside the breakwater when returning into O'Side Harbor. That's a trip.

Unless distortion from tides is a factor you’d think that reports of sea level increases should apply evenly across the planet?
Others factors are ocean currents, ocean water temperatures, upwellings from underwater sea mounts or canyons, prevailing winds and weather related winds. The Term "Sea Level" is a "mean" level in any particular area, it doesn't mean it's the same everywhere.

Do you suppose Mr Roofer is aware that the glass vial in a 'Spirit Level' isn't flat, but curved :eek:

As you can see, in our atmosphere a Red laser even one with far more power than any pointer or level won't travel all that far. Color means wavelength and that wavelength, similar to radio wavelengths determines it's propagation properties.
Also if a laser light beam encounters a temperature inversion it will be bent downwards, so it may or may not remain level at distance within our atmosphere.

You are correct that these are factors and even though they are variables, they are at the same time somewhat constant, as they have been part of the equation for a long time. I do not know the “big picture “ but I do know that after 24 years of running under the same low bridge where I live on Hudson bayou, my rod holders on the hardtop will scrape the bridge at the same high tide level (+2.1) today that they did 24 years ago.
I have marks on the bridge and my lift pilings indicating when I shouldn’t bother taking the boat off the lift due to high or low water.
All my indicators work the same as 24 years ago and are partly why I haven’t heard a satisfactory explanation of why I should believe the sea levels are a problem.

Spirit level! Thanks Tab, that did certainly elude me. I wonder if Spirit level is a Mason thing? Or is it spirits like in alcohol?
I tripped out the other day rounding a corner and saw a pretty big Mason's symbol painted on a garage door here. I detect a story...

The water level we tilesetter's used, is a clear length of clear flexible plastic tube filled with water to just short of the top, usually operated by 2 persons to accurately determine equal level height across a greater distance, (like in the then new barracks at MCRD.)

The laser level, (like the suspended ceiling installer's use,) is also used in tile, but the water level is magic because it can be read even around blind corners. It can be operated by one person, but so can the water level too. (very carefully.)
New is not always improved...

Awesome info by knowledgeable Inmates is awesome. I learn a lot on here. Much obliged, Gentlemen.

I really need to get down to the Gulf here in Texas. I was always fascinated when I would see that drop at that hard corner coming out of Oceanside Harbor. I'm guessing it is a tide thing. Can't wait to get there and go out on one of the fleet.

"Climate Change" brainwashing is abhorrent, stressing TF out of the Kid's for sure, and swallowed HL&S, by the Libtards.

I would think that all the water that was on earth, is still here on the earth. The crazies likely don't take that, or evaporation, the rain cycle, or "Things of that nature, into consideration..." 🤣

I apparently misunderstood and didn't realize your original question I responded to was rhetorical. What little I've read on the subject suggests that as the Earth's climate gradually changes, historical patterns of temperature, currents and prevailing winds could be altered, which could alter mean sea level in various global areas.

Earth's climate seems to go through cycles. There, that's what I officially know about that.

If you disagree with Bob Bunting, the CEO of the Sarasota-based Climate Adaptation Center, and don't believe him that your area's sea level has risen 9", contact him as he's the big Global Warming Advocate in your area.
If you're truly seeking answers or want to debate his findings, that's where I'd start.
If you're only seeking group affirmation, then there's little doubt RDP will have many who will support your position there's been no change.
Not having been to your area in 25 years, I wouldn't have a clue.

One would never think that a thread named, 'on a lighter note, political jokes and memes' would be so educational. :D Key words, lighter note, and jokes....

I will always be down with the roofers. Taking an 'S' tile on the head is no joke!! :oops: 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Most of us refer to a Spirit Level as simply a bubble level. ;) The name was derived from the "Spirit" or mineral oil used in the vial that contains the bubble.
Us sparky types use magnetic levels as we all know it's important to run conduit level, otherwise the electricity won't flow correctly and might drain out the low side. :oops:🤔

I kinda thought that using the proper "Spirit Level" terminology might prompt a certain roofer to formally declare them demonic and not of this physical world.

If Tank wasn't amongst the living, he'd be rolling over in his grave. Thankfully the man has displayed a great sense of humor and hasn't come on and verbally pounded that damned roofer, it's all his fault ya know, he f*cking started it. 🤣

9” increase is BS. If that were true I’d never have a low water issue and I’d be scraping my hard top on every high tide. Neither are happening. With a typical tidal range of -0.3 to +2.2, 9” would be insanely obvious. Not sure how familiar you are with SWFL but there is a lot of waterfront that isn’t functional at low tide. Our tidal swings are very small compared to most places I’ve been. A 9” increase would be such a game changer around here that it would be impossible to not see and acknowledge. But as I said my parameters haven’t changed in a visible or practical sense.

I'm pretty sure that O'side harbor thing is a tide thing.
Kinda like the bay of Fundy!!

But since ever since saw that Masons' symbol... !°°! 🤣

We sold our last San Diego based sportsfisher in 1995 --- then went to Lake Havasu and in San Diego we're at 700', so I certainly haven't been tracking any sea level changes.

I think that 9" is from 1950. The guys who get paid to track this shit seem to think since 1993 it's rising at a rate of 3.4mm annually, so a bit over 1/8". Not sure how many years you've been tracking it ??

If we're just shootin the shit, OK that's cool, but if you're truly seeking answers, or want to debate with the various sources and refute their findings with a submitted "Letter to the Editor" -----
simply google "Has Mean Sea Level of Sarasota Florida Changed" ---- Otherwise it's obvious, there's a whole lot of folks wanting your hard earned tax dollars locally to prepare for a problem you're convinced isn't happening and according to "The Experts" has been for a very long time.

Here's an interesting report from a 1991 study of sea rise in your area. I find it interesting of what's factored and how it's calculated.

Here's an interesting report put out by the Florida Climate Center ---- https://climatecenter.fsu.edu/topics/sea-level-rise

My "Climate Change" Achilles heal where we live inland isn't sea level change, it's being prone to Wild Fires which are also being deemed to be more prevalent as a result of "Global Warming" and has our insurance companies cancelling us in mass numbers.

Real threat or not, this bullshit is costing us all hard earned money. Good Luck 👍🤞

Public Service Announcement. I'll cop to the making and application of "Gay and Proud" and "Gay Rights Coalition" bumper stickers on the Estimator's truck. I had no idea they wouldn't be discovered until after the Rodeo at Camp Pendleton... :oops: 😆 🤣

Be glad you're retired, Inmates. Yes! Climate Climate change Sux... But let's be real, isn't the real threat your co-workers throwing random pretty colored hair ties into the cab of your truck..?

Throw empties in the bed of the truck of that one guy who's wife hates him drinking, or a condom in the glove box or cupholder....many ways to pull the pin on the grenade 🤣

Nope. Not this one either, "not gonna do it.." 🤣

Full disclosure, on the San Elijo epic Yellowtail trip out of Dana Point, was where said Estimator and I, (4 Tile Contractors each later, lol) were at the rail, both with way too much liine out, and I had fessed up. He told me about him drinking a beer on his upstairs patio after the Rodeo, looking down at his truck, and then "WTF?" with abject horror at the bumper stickers. 🤣 Still, he cut his line for me so I could boat my 'Tail.
IDC if he even was a Gay Cowboy. That's class.😆

Science and Invention magazine published an article about Plauson's invention in 1922.

A balloon made of aluminum was filled with hydrogen or helium and at an altitude of 270 meters produced a direct current of 400 volts with a force of 1.8 amperes. Two balloons with a capacitor battery gave a power of 81 kilowatts in a day.

As the author writes, "Its output is very large..... There is no doubt that this invention will soon come into general use throughout the world. Especially in rural areas and wherever water power is scarce.

The time is not far distant when nearly all our energy will be derived from the atmosphere..... It is the cheapest known form of energy, much cheaper than water power..... no destructive thunderstorms occur near such aerial power stations, because the balloons rapidly discharge the largest thundercloud, safely and silently through grounded spark gaps."

An invention that could provide cheap and affordable electricity to the entire world. Is that why it was forgotten?
