    Transferred my computer to a new case. Now, to wait for the second case fan and light strip to come in so I can finish the under glow. And yes, the cpu cooler is made of pure copper. And yeah, it's heavy.

    Why dont they just admit that they don't want ANY trucks in that state....... and then figure out how they plan on getting all the stuff they need?

    Speaking of California during a break I decided to screw around with the official night mode on the Google camera and see if I could take a picture of something while in the middle of nowhere...

    at first I thought it really didn't catch anything until I turn the brightness up on my phone when I was looking at the picture and then I realized I got the Big Dipper....

    Not bad for a hand-held cell phone next step I'm going to find something that can hold my phone to keep it steady to see if I can get the pictures to come out a little more crisp...

    What exactly does California need from any other state? Food? Produce? Beef/pork/poultry? Oil? Gas? Ores/coal/minerals? Water? Electricity? Lumber?

    California produces all of that...and more.

    The simple fact is that the rest of US needs California a lot more than California needs the US.

    You may not like California’s asinine laws and silly regulations (I was born and raised in CA, and I think they’re goofy), but with California’s massive economy, the goods it produces, and the trade that flows through the ports, California has always been in a position of strength when it comes to the laws it creates and how those laws affect and influence the rest of the US.

    Again, I don’t necessarily agree with all the laws CA comes up with..but the way CA does things isn’t going to change..and it certainly isn’t going to affect the California economy.

    California now world’s 5th largest economy, surpassing UK

    Considering California currently has the world's 5th largest economy, its hard to ignore them. They provide nearly 1/5 th of the total US economy.

    Too bad they refuse to allow them drill for the oil. Starve there farmland in the Central Valley of water to “save” a minnow

    Not quite sure what agricultural water has to do with offshore oil drilling, or a minnow...

    Seriously??? OMFG... SERIOUSLY ?
    Everyone knows the answer to that. Oil drilling requires oil workers to man the equipment. Those oil workers will fart. The fumes will contaminate the air. Bugs will die. Less bugs means less fish food. Less fish food, fewer minnows. Geesh.

    At least that's how I see California justifying their dumb ### conservation laws.
