Flooding an X area field is more water exposed to the air than direct application to a smaller Y area no? So by your own logic more water evaporates into the air with flooding
And once it evaporates, it will move east with the air, over the mountains, and into a different watershed.
It is true that the water will flow somewhere, so isn't "lost", but the point is that the diversion decreases how much makes it downstream to the Salt Lake.
I thought the water cycle causes almost all of the precipitation to happen before going over the mountains? It's why the west side of the Sierras are wet and the east side dry.
No: If you're rich enough to restore a car that you bought from someone that was poor enough to still be driving it with stock components, then the US won't punish you.
I dunno if that what you meant, but it was pretty much designed so that the people that want to complicate everything go there complicating it, while the people that want to write something useful can just take complicators' work, use it, and raise their shoulders at every objection repeating "you are the one that designed it this way".
The original TeX doesn't work this way. That's why people don't collaborate directly in it.
I am with GP. When using LaTeX I was happy that it was difficult to easily change things. I had a thesis to write and took the solution that would create something good (even if I would not agree) and prevent me from easily choosing fonts for headers etc.
The keyword here is "easily". Of course I could learn the language and go wild. But, hey, I had a thesis to write so I had to make choices: PhD or fancy headers.
Nawh, it was invented to reinvent PostScript and create a barrier-to-entry to academic publishing.
Seriously, I still can't find a decent WSYSIWYG latex editor with the UX of the legacy Word equation editor or a graphing calculator. The closest I found was [0].
hypothetically it’s pretty easy to fake the odb reader versions of these. Just buy a male to 2 female odb splitter, strip one and hook a 9 volt battery and usb charger to the power wires.
Plug your device into your car and turn it on, wait for device to blink green, attach 9 volt and unplug, carry inside and plug in usb charger to the wall.
It's so sad to see how a project that once set out to NOT be like the other popular QA sites of that time could still end up so horribly similar. How a group of good people, with best intentions could still end up with a site in a state like this. The way to hell is paved with good intentions,
I guess.

Almost any for-profit platform is doomed to become a dumpster, in the end. After Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood, the original founders, sold it to Prosus 2 years ago it has been free falling.
Compared to Experts Exchange or Quora, Stack Exchange is still miles better. You never need to pay to see answers, or register, or have tons of annoying popups, etc.
It's data is licensed under creative commons, and last I looked into it, you could easily download the entire stackoverflow dump. There was a torrent and it was about 50GB or something.
https://github.com/answerdev/answer#readme is Apache 2 licensed, the sibling comment pointed out that the existing S.O. data is open licensed, but your premise has the same problem every "I'm going to take my ball and go play in the other yard" does: the network effect is very, very real
C and C++ are pretty specialized this day and age in my opinion, you might have better opportunities breaking into a programming career if you at least get working knowledge of more popular languages
