OUC says they normally get 10 truck deliveries a week of liquid oxygen. That has been cut to 5 to 7. They are asking people to limit use of irrigation, pressure washing and washing cars to start. They believe this could reduce consumption by 40%.

      Well they won't make people wear masks to help other people, they won't take a vaccine to help other people, but I'm sure they'll stop using WATER to help other people.

    Secondary impacts are fascinating. Our local children's hospital is overloaded, the first week of school before COVID has even surged, because being out of school so long weakened the immune systems of kids to the point that another serious respiratory virus spread months earlier than it normally does. Something completely external to COVID but dependent on it compounds the situation to the point we can't even deal with it. Stuff like that makes me wonder how many sucker punches will come with future pandemics and climate change.

    Even though I've been seeing it coming for years it's still shocking to see the rapid collapse of this shithole country

      Lol same. I tested out a new high pressure nozzle on my car recently and I'm embarrassed to admit that even after spraying it pretty good, I didn't realize there was a layer of film still on it cause I'd didn't wipe it down :foucault-madness: lol

      Washing your car simply allows your car to go back to being shiny, so its surface can reflect the sun into everyone's eyes.

      Grimy cars would make the world more tolerable for everyone. We need less reflective surface, not more.

    Yeah, I'm sure the average central Floridian would use less water if you told them to, much less in the summer.

    Things are gonna get fucked next week. :doomjak:

      Yeah telling Floridans to conserve anything has the opposite effect lol. Just not going to happen they need to actually shut off the water at golf courses and shit like that. Residential water use is an actual fraction of the overall water usage compared to farming bottling and Waterparks and golf courses

        In a neighboring city in my state, the city asked residents to reduce water use due to drought, and in response the farmers literally used so much water out of spite that they drained the reservoir

    If that’s what the market decides is best than that’s that.
