It's because they grow water super-intensive cash crops in places that are deserts for 8 months of the year.
The natural plants of the state can take the dry summers. Almonds cannot.

I'm sure the weight of everything in the conversion of this van doesn't exceed the rated load capacity. All that stuff isn't really that heavy. It can hold a lot more, and still probably has enough oomph to pull a trailer.
This is still classified as class C automobile in America, at least. An ordinary car that requires an ordinary license. If be surprised if the whole thing is 6000 pounds with everything installed. There are some big cars at that weight.

Exxon is not an animal abuse cult, nor has it ever been.
Sled dogs live to run sleds. There's no inherent abuse.
Your comment confuses me.

The fuck?

There's no evidence for lack of structured religion.
Of course they had religion. They talked...not grunted. They had opposable thumbs. They had tribes. They got weird. They defended their territories and attacked weaker people.

If I remember correctly cannibalism is usually ritualistic. You get to terrorize your victims and their families/tribes and also get to absorb their juju.
"Grocery store" cannibalism for calories is rare.
Is it cannibalism if we go out and hunt gorillas or chimps?

Reply to comment by wanderlustcub in A spaceflight disaster was narrowly avoided in 1972. A series of intense solar flares exploded in August, just months before the launch of Apollo 17. Any astronauts on the moon at that time would have died from radiation. As NASA's new lunar missions progress, the threat of radiation still looms. by EricFromOuterSpace
There's no special reason the flight wouldn't have been aloft 4 months earlier or the flare happened 4 months later.
Substitute 18 years (or 4 days) for 4 months and the sentence is the same.

It was otherwise a routine mission but it had the added dimension of having a non-professional astronaut school teacher on board. She was supposed to do live lessons from space or something. There were school activities planned. It was a huge nationwide thing.
Shuttle missions were routine by then but this one had much MUCH more attention paid to it and it was played live in schools across the country.
I was in 5th grade and I remember getting my first early lessons in physics in the days before the launch.

I was in 5th grade.
I live on the west coast so it was all finished by the time school started.
At line-up in the yard before school I noticed all the teachers were talking and some were visibly upset. I asked a kid what happened.
He said, "A teacher blew up!" To a fifth grader that's a funny joke. Obviously teachers don't just blow up. I cracked up laughing and said, "She BLEW ALL THE WAY UP?"
Half a dozen teachers turned to stare at me and my teacher grabbed my arm and told me how unfunny that was. I got detention. This teacher never got mad and never touched a kid but she was hurting then and this really sent her to the stratosphere.
That's how I remember that day.
