Hate gun roster, hmm how about tire roster?

[RustVendor]

is all this why lake mead is running out of water and that the colorado river is in the same aspect? lake mead is less than 200 feet from dead pool. do you even know what that means for california? i am not sure about data even being accurate when it comes to the water regulations in california, i mean the fact that L.A has no water in the hydrants should speak volumes about all that. why not have a desalination regulation instead, that would solve all of california's water problems, along with actually reducing cost. but let us not talk about that because more EPA regulations and taxes are the answer, according to these california politicians

Honestly I have no idea what point you are trying to make, 80% of Ca water and especially Colorado river water goes to agriculture and not cities. You really don't have a clue about any of these topics. They literally are doing desalinization.

9. I have Low Tire Pressure light on. Will that fail my smog test?
No. The only light that causes an automatic fail for California Smog Test is the Check Engine light.

Perhaps BrokenWind has confused Check Engine light with the TPMS light?

Will LE be exempt from the roster? Can a family member from out of state transfer me "off roster" tires? Do we think the secondary market will drive prices of existing tires up?

WTS: I have 4 like-new, pristine, off-roster Mashimoto ZX tires in fifth gen (EJ1) Honda Civic fitment. Have maybe 50 miles on them. Cleaned thoroughly after the one use. Very rare. $5,000. No lowballers, no offers, no trades. Not even body armor.

yeah, and the California National Guard should have to be limited to roster firearms and 10rd mags, even while deployed to combat zones. If we can't have them, then the military can't have them. Someone needs to notify China and Russia that they need to only use rostered firearms and 10rd mags as well so that the playing field is leveled. Can we limit our tanks to only 10 rounds, too?

umm no. there is the electricity aspect that you seem to be clueless about. also yes SOME of that water goes to agriculture and then to the L.A aqueduct. strange that you are also clueless about that also. anyways, my point is that all that so callled regualtion that you speak of did not do anything since california is still running out of water. actaully look up the desalination that california is doing. It does not cover much of anything, it is only a very small percent that is being done, and it is only for part of a city. it is not an EPA mandate like I mentioned it should be. and again, california is still running out of water and power

How do you know they didn't have the same resistance rating? One benefit of this program is that data would be readily available meaning you would know easily if a cheaper tire had the same characteristics as a more expensive one

more data is good, but let people decide what they want to do with the data instead of an army of regulators banning our options so they can justify their jobs... "hey boss, I accomplished a lot this year, look at the new tire regulations we instituted. can I have my raise and bonus please"

almost the exact same as studies and the other whatnots. need results( which is more like of a bunch of word salad than anyhting) to continue to receive funding

government employees don't get raises for performance but I don't disagree that it seems premature to jump straight to banning them. The EU has has efficiency regulations on tires for almost 20 years but they haven't banned them as far as I know. But all of the potential "negatives" that people list like longevity or traction don't bear out in the current LRR tires, they have 65k warranties and good traction ratings if they are made right. This has been a thing for a long time for big rig tires and those tires need to perform well and last a long time so I'm not sure if we need to worry about it. We will see.

lol what? I'm intimately familiar with the colorado river water rights and it goes to the imperial valley where 80% of it is used for agriculture before any cities get to use it. The entire allocation from the Colorado river for Ca is a maximum of 4.4 million acre ft. In total, Ca uses about 40 million acre ft of water per year, only 8 million acre ft goes to cites for domestic use and the rest goes to agriculture. The cities aren't running out of water, it's agriculture that runs out of water but the allocation is complex because it's based on water rights, water rights are property rights so many farms have dibs before cities. But Cities do get some preferential treatment, in low water years cities will get water when ag is cut off because people literally need it. Anyway, lots of people support desal and if you want the state to pay for that you should ask them to, you will have to convince voters to pay for it though through a bond or sales tax. But I support public utilities like SMUD, they tend to be cheaper. It's not as simple as it sounds though because salt is a waste product, even if it's dumped into the ocean it can cause problems. But I do think that desal is the only long term option, but conservation goes a long way along with that. If we actually were in trouble we could allocate more water away from agriculture, but we aren't even close to running out of water to run our cities even wth 35 million people as it's only 20% of the total water usage in the state.

California needs more funding for the High speed rail.

oh. okay so some of it does go to the cities like i mentioned? i already know about the water rights from back then. i was involved with this in las vegas in 2007. i am not asking for the city to pay for it. pay attention here i specficially said make it a mandate. if california was serious about its regualtions specifically with the water the answer would not be more regulations and taxes, it would be change the water supply of california. does that make sense to you? and as for 'SMUD' i would actually look into it. it is not cheaper, you are being double charged and do not even realize it. and salt is not a waste product it is a usable product called salt for anything. basic NaCl and it is actually sold to companies. imagine that.

" even if it's dumped into the ocean it can cause problems "-- this one was for sure comical. where do you think the salt from the desalination process comes from? so if it is dumped back into the ocean, where would the problem be? or am i misunderstanding this?

" If we actually were in trouble we could allocate more water away from agriculture "-- what do you think is going on here ? what do you think these rights being renegotiated is about? and again, what about the electricty (i know this is in part off topic), lake mead is less than 200 feet from dead pool

i cannot believe you stated that california is not in trouble with its water supply

california should just make a roster for everything. lol (shrugs)

You heard it here first.

I'm opening tire shops on NV side of every CA/NV border. I'm calling it

"Don't Tread on Me" tire shop

 

[Gravel]

Bro that's not part of the smog check I promise you, your TPMS will not cause you to fail smog.

Yet.

But it very well could, because the state loves regulations that may/may not do anything, except for providing more government jobs in a state that loves taxing the working class more and more.

Who’s doing desalinization? I’m all for that, because I’ve seen the environmental destruction of the Owens Valley that the LADWP dried up a hundred years ago. Population near the ocean should get their water from the ocean, not by destroying other places.

And water going to agriculture is a good thing, because most of us enjoy eating once in a while..

It's definitely being worked on, like I said it's tricky and still fairly expensive but it's definitely something we should be doing. And yes, agriculture is extremely important. There are some debates about which crops are in our best interest though, for instance the bulk of that imperial valley water from the Colorado is growing alfalfa which is then sold to foreign interests and exported. And that the exact moment where the "free market" fails to account for our domestic interests and why some regulations can be useful.

State Report Identifies Future Desalination Plants to Meet Statewide Water Reliability Goals

As California continues to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate, the State must work to identify future sources of safe, reliable water for all. This week, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) released a report identifying future planned desalination projects to help meet the brackish...
